On the evening of June 26th, 2022, at the graduation of the students of "Duxiu Class" at Jinxiu Middle School for Nationalities, HUANG Xuanzhuang, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Group, accompanying 10 employees from the trade unions and the cultural development foundation, attended the graduation ceremony of "Duxiu Class" at the school. LIU Peng, member of the Standing Committee of Jinxiu County Committee and deputy county executive, WANG Wannian, director of the education and sports bureau of the county, leaders, teachers and students of the school attended the "Duxiu Class" event. The graduation ceremony was presided over by CHEN Qingquan, principal of Jinxiu Middle School for Nationalities.

Before the ceremony, the audience watched the graduation season video "Walking Far Together" produced by the Cultural Development Foundation, and reviewed the process of donation by the Group to the "Duxiu Class" in the past three years, recalling the past and looking forward to the future together.

In his speech, Mr. HUANG sent graduation blessings to all the students of the school. He pointed out that the Group, as a university press and a state-owned cultural corporation, has always actively fulfilled its social responsibilities and devoted itself to public welfare undertakings. Since 1995, when the first "girls' class" was funded in Sishui Township, Longsheng County, the Group never stopped its public welfare activity, by which, nearly 500 students from poor ethnic minority families have completed the nine-year compulsory education in the form of "women's classes" and "Duxiu Class", and 70% of them have been promoted to higher-level schools for study. They have become useful professionals to the society after graduation. Mr. HUANG also sent a message to the students, encouraging them to vigorously carry forward the "the Duxiu spirit", be ambitious and mindful of the "Top Priorities of the Country"; to establish the concept of lifelong learning; to pay high regard to self-cultivation and moral integrity, consciously strive to become new persons of the times who can assume responsibilities of national rejuvenation.

"Duxiu Class”is just the ninth class funded by the group. Next, the Cultural Development Foundation of the group will carry out the site selection and preparation for a new "Duxiu Class".
