Abstract:
GU Wenchang, as an outstanding official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), consistently upheld integrity throughout his official tenure. GU embodied the integrity of governance marked by cleanliness, frugality, diligent service to the people, and loyal pragmatism. His integrity is a local manifestation of revolutionary culture and aligns closely with the core principles of the CPC’s eight-point decision. As such, it possesses significant exemplary force and educational value. Integrating Gu’s integrity into the new generation’s clean governance education first serves to solidify their foundations of ideals and convictions. It further cultivates their core socialist values. It also enhances their resilience against the influences of diverse cultures and instills a sense of mission and responsibility for national rejuvenation. In doing so, the nurturing power of his spirit is fully realized for the new era’s youth. Colleges and universities can also enhance the impact of GU’s integrity by enriching educational resources and integrating it into campus activities. This effort should be coupled with leveraging research, practice-based learning, and a focus on online education platforms. The contemporary relevance of his integrity and clean governance education can be fully demonstrated through these multifaceted approaches.
