To thoroughly study and implement the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 20th Central Committee, and to enthusiastically celebrate the brilliant journey and glorious achievements since the founding of New China, the Party Committee and Trade Union of the Ministry of Education's directly affiliated organs organised an exhibition of calligraphy, painting, and photography themed "Ode to New China, Striving in the New Era".
