Features: The graduate education reader on the Socialist Honor and Shame Values, titled "Knowing Honor and Shame, Manifesting Virtue, and Serving the World," was officially launched on May 31. This book will become a vivid teaching material for every graduate student at Shanghai University. Previously, graduate students at Shanghai University engaged in theoretical discussions, thematic reports, and thematic practical activities centered around "Practicing the 'Eight Honors and Eight Shames' and Strengthening Honor and Shame Awareness." 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 the accumulated efforts into a book, aiming to deeply embed the Socialist Honor and Shame Values in the hearts of the graduate students and ensure their 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 across various colleges at Shanghai University will hold special organizational meetings for study. After the new students enroll, this book will serve as a handbook for systematic learning, internalizing the Honor and Shame Values through their three years of study and life. As a new moral education program, 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 Socialist Honor and Shame Values. The title "Knowing Honor and Shame, Manifesting Virtue, and Serving the World" reflects the rethinking of graduate moral education content, methods, means, and objectives by the moral education workers at Shanghai University in response to the new situation.
