In order to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech given on 23 February, in which he summarised the control and prevention of COVID-19 and gave an in-depth analysis of the impacts of the epidemic on the economy and society from the perspective of overall situations in China, as well as the need to strengthen the publicity and education of scientific prevention and control of COVID-19 within the system of the Open University of China (OUC).

Right now, people throughout China are united as one in the all-out fight against the epidemic. Among them are a group of people who are the key to fighting the epidemic in China’s vast rural areas, “the most vulnerable spot for epidemic prevention and control.” These people are acting steadily and carefully based on the general requirement for “duty-bound conscientiousness, responsibility, and accountability.” They are taking pains to safeguard their communities and serve rural revitalisation.
