Features: The graduate education reader on the Socialist Concept of Honor and Shame, "Knowing Honor and Shame, Manifesting Virtue, and Serving the World," by Shanghai University, was officially launched on May 31. This book will become a vivid textbook for every graduate student at Shanghai University. Previously, graduate students at Shanghai University engaged in a series of thematic educational activities, including theoretical discussions, thematic reports, and practical initiatives centered around "Practicing the 'Eight Honors and Eight Shames' and Strengthening the Awareness of Honor and Shame." A wave of learning from exemplary figures and social heroes swept among the graduate students of Shanghai University. The relevant departments of Shanghai University decided to compile and record the efforts made, aiming to deeply embed the Socialist Concept of Honor and Shame in the hearts of the graduate students and ensure its long-term implementation in their actions. The educational reader is divided into chapters such as "Theoretical Section" and "Exemplary Figures Section," with most articles written by faculty and students of Shanghai University. It is reported that graduate student Party organizations and League organizations at various colleges of Shanghai University will hold special organizational meetings for study. After the new students enroll, this book will serve as a handbook for systematic learning, integrating the concept of honor and shame into their three years of study and life. As a new moral education, the "Eight Honors and Eight Shames" provides a benchmark for young people and even the entire nation to establish a correct worldview, life philosophy, and values. This book is an attempt, guided by the spirit of the "Eight Honors and Eight Shames," to explore how to guide graduate students in adhering to moral norms, improving their moral cultivation, and establishing the Socialist Concept of Honor and Shame. The title "Knowing Honor and Shame, Manifesting Virtue, and Serving the World" reflects the rethinking of graduate moral education workers at Shanghai University regarding the content, methods, means, and objectives of moral education in the new era.
