Based on the “two major situations” and the strategic background that human society is entering the era of artificial intelligence, moral education in the new era is related to major issues such as the socialist direction of education, successors to the party’s cause, the future and destiny of the country, and personal growth. It shoulders the responsibility of cultivating and practicing the core values of socialism, carrying forward the excellent culture, revolutionary culture and culture of reform and opening up of the Chinese nation, forging the collective consciousness of the Chinese nation, and cultivating socialist builders and successors.
