In order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up and to further study Xi Jinping's socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Party, the Law School has organized more than 200 students to visit the National Museum since the "Great Change - a large exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up" started on November 13, 2018.

The exhibition, with the theme of 40 years of reform and opening up, contains six thematic exhibition areas, which focus on the valuable experience in opening up a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Through image review and scene restoration, the exhibition shows the important events in the past 40 years of reform and opening up.

The birth and promotion of family-contract responsibility system, the establishment and take-off of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the successful operation of large-scale projects such as Long March Launch Vehicle, Jiaolong Manned Submarine and Tianhe-1 Supercomputer, have launched a magnificent historical picture for students. The third exhibition area "Key Choices" shows the design and strategy of the CPC Central Committee to promote reform and opening up. In the final unit of the exhibition area, the Constitutional Amendment just passed at the beginning of the year attracted students to stop and watch. Students have expressed that the Constitution is the foundation of national governance. As party members and League members, they should respect the Constitution, learn the Constitution, abide by the Constitution, safeguard the Constitution and apply the Constitution. The fourth exhibition area "Great Changes in History" fully demonstrates the new progress and achievements made in implementing the Party Central Committee's decision. The fifth exhibition area "Big Country Meteorology" focuses on the frontier development of industries related to people's livelihood and production. The sixth exhibition area concludes with a video which shows the strategic decision of deepening reform and opening up since the 18th National congress of the CPC.

After the exhibition, the students exchanged their thoughts. They agreed that the practical experience of reform and opening up has proved the Communist Party of China is the choice of the people and history and that the leadership of CPC is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should adhere to the leadership of CPC and strengthen self-confidence in the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, in theory, in system and in culture.

As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, the legal persons of PKU will always encourage themselves to consolidate the theoretical basis and accumulate practical experience in accordance with the four requirements of General Secretary Xi's "Patriotism, Encouragement, Truth-seeking and Practice", so as to contribute their strength to deepening the reform and promoting the rule of law in an all-round way.
