The school will continuously stick to Xi’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, spirits of the 19^th NPC, spirits of replying to those Party Secretaries and Presidents of agriculture-related universities from General Secretary Xi. Based on that, we will fundamentally strengthen moral education, uphold the school motto of "being diligent, honest, and sincere in learning and creating new", adhere to the philosophy of "honing skills diligently and cultivating talents by practices", and promote comprehensive reform in a well-coordinated way.
