The spirit of Chinese scientists
Chinese scientists, and the progress they make in science and technology, have always been a matter of great concern to President Xi. He has praised their spirit on many occasions. This advocacy was translated into a document, issued in June 2019, on carrying forward the spirit of Chinese scientists and enhancing academic integrity. The document defined the spirit of Chinese scientists in the new era as patriotism, innovation, truth-seeking, dedication, teamwork, and promoting young successors.
Patriotism is what inspires scientists to work for the country and the people.
Innovation is what distinguishes them as scientists who dare to be pioneers and persevere in tackling key problems in their research.
Seeking truth is a trait of scientists who are meticulous in research.
Dedication reflects their strength of character as they devote themselves to research for the public good and are heedless of fame and fortune.
Effective teamwork is essential to pool the wisdom of all in an era of globalization.
The will and effort of veteran scientists to foster and promote young scholars is essential to China's future.
Speaking to a symposium with scientists in early September 2020, President Xi said that scientists could make no progress without a strong mental support, and their spirit is a valuable asset created and passed down through years of work and research.
科學(xué)家精神
黨的十八大以來，習(xí)近平總書記高度關(guān)心關(guān)懷中國科技事業(yè)和廣大科學(xué)家群體，多次就弘揚(yáng)科學(xué)家精神發(fā)表重要講話。2019年6月，《關(guān)于進(jìn)一步弘揚(yáng)科學(xué)家精神加強(qiáng)作風(fēng)和學(xué)風(fēng)建設(shè)的意見》印發(fā)，明確了新時代科學(xué)家精神的內(nèi)涵，即“胸懷祖國、服務(wù)人民的愛國精神，勇攀高峰、敢為人先的創(chuàng)新精神，追求真理、嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)治學(xué)的求實精神，淡泊名利、潛心研究的奉獻(xiàn)精神，集智攻關(guān)、團(tuán)結(jié)協(xié)作的協(xié)同精神，甘為人梯、獎掖后學(xué)的育人精神”。
其中，愛國精神是首要的，創(chuàng)新精神是科學(xué)研究最鮮明的稟賦，求實精神是科技發(fā)展進(jìn)步的原動力，奉獻(xiàn)精神成就科學(xué)家高尚人格風(fēng)范，協(xié)同精神是經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化時代之必需，育人精神則關(guān)乎科技事業(yè)長遠(yuǎn)發(fā)展。2020年9月，習(xí)近平總書記主持召開科學(xué)家座談會并指出，科學(xué)成就離不開精神支撐?？茖W(xué)家精神是科技工作者在長期科學(xué)實踐中積累的寶貴精神財富。
