**Interviewer:** I’ve heard that my girlfriend and I can sign a “cohabitation agreement” since we plan to live together but don’t have plans to marry anytime soon. Is it necessary to have an agreement like this? What are the pros and cons?

**Expert:** It’s definitely useful to delve into the details of a cohabitation agreement—it’s beneficial and can help avoid potential issues down the road. According to insights gathered by US News from three experts, here are four key points about cohabitation agreements:

1. **Understanding Cohabitation Agreements**

A cohabitation agreement is designed for couples who intend to live together without getting married. Michele A. Moreschi, a family law attorney at Dussias Wittenberg Koenigsberger in Chicago, explains that creating a cohabitation agreement helps clarify living arrangements and outline rights and responsibilities during breakups or other significant life events. This typically involves matters related to property ownership, financial responsibilities, asset division upon separation, and any other pertinent concerns.

In short, a cohabitation agreement is a way to set expectations and protect both parties in the event the relationship ends or unforeseen circumstances arise. Furthermore, Moreschi points out that these agreements can help prevent disputes and ensure clarity in the relationship, similar to how a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement works. However, the legal enforceability of a cohabitation agreement often varies by jurisdiction, so it’s advisable to consult a legal professional.

2. **When and Why to Sign a Cohabitation Agreement?**

More and more couples are choosing to live together without getting married. Moreschi warns that if you’re in a jurisdiction that doesn’t recognize common law marriages or lacks laws addressing cohabiting partners’ rights, you won’t have the same legal rights, remedies, and responsibilities as married couples. This can lead to feelings of uncertainty and insecurity.

So, if you decide to cohabit without marrying and plan to jointly purchase a house or other assets, signing a cohabitation agreement can help set clear expectations through a formal contract. For instance, the agreement can outline how expenses are shared, define debt responsibilities during a breakup, detail asset division, and clarify who will remain in the shared residence after a separation as well as who gets financial support afterwards.

A cohabitation agreement provides clarity and security for both partners.

3. **What Should Be Included in a Cohabitation Agreement?**

Marcy Keckler, a financial advisor and senior vice president at Ameriprise Financial, outlines essential components to cover in a cohabitation agreement:

– **Estate Planning:** Regardless of age or wealth, everyone should have a clear estate plan outlining wishes regarding their assets. Including estate planning in the cohabitation agreement can be beneficial. It might also cover healthcare directives, end-of-life care preferences, childcare or pet care arrangements, and inheritance plans for various financial accounts and insurance policies.

– **Financial Account Arrangements:** Decide if you want to open joint accounts or keep separate accounts. According to Ameriprise’s survey, 14% of respondents reported having accounts their partner isn’t aware of. If you plan to maintain individual accounts for discretionary spending or gift giving, discussing financial arrangements with your partner can help avoid resentment later.

– **Support for Family Members:** The Ameriprise survey revealed that 72% of couples financially support adult family members. Keckler emphasizes discussing financial assistance for aging parents or young adult children, ensuring that both partners align on how to manage their overall financial situation. This promotes a mutual understanding of current and post-retirement priorities, helping to prevent suspicion and resentment.

– **Retirement Savings and Planning:** Discuss how to save for retirement and prioritize spending after retirement. If nearing or already in retirement, it’s advisable to outline key spending categories and amounts clearly.

4. **Understanding the Legal Implications of a Cohabitation Agreement**

Patrick Hicks, Chief Legal Officer at Trust & Will, states that the legal rights associated with formal marriage do not automatically apply to unmarried cohabitants. While a cohabitation agreement is crucial for defining each partner’s rights and responsibilities, its impact on third parties is limited.

Hicks believes that by combining a cohabitation agreement with estate planning, couples not only clarify their responsibilities to each other but also establish roles for third parties. He emphasizes that, in addition to the cohabitation agreement, having a power of attorney and healthcare directives is crucial.

According to Hicks, a power of attorney grants someone legal authority to act on behalf of another person, while healthcare directives specify someone to execute medical care wishes if the individual becomes incapacitated.

If children are involved, estate planning becomes even more critical. Hicks warns that without appropriate documentation, you may lack legal rights over child custody and care. If the child is a biological child of one partner, it’s vital to include estate planning—otherwise, a cohabitation agreement may not suffice to grant the non-parental partner the legal right to make medical decisions or communicate with doctors regarding the child’s care in emergencies.

As night settled over Chengdu, the ambiance shifted into a mystical experience, enriched with swirling smoke, rhythmic drumming, and melodic harmonies. Two beams of light illuminated the eye sockets of golden masks, while the “High Priest” of Jinsha stood solemnly at the altar, encircled by figures that evoked images of the “ancient Shu” people. Clad in animal skins and brandishing ivory, they engaged in a mesmerizing dance.

This enchanting spectacle marked the launch of the “Night Tour of Jinsha: Journey Through Ancient Shu—A Thematic Museum Performance,” a grand cross-cultural celebration that commenced on the evening of October 1, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. The performance will continue every night throughout the National Day holiday.

After the guided tour, the audience was treated to the elegant presence of the spirit deer of ancient Shu, which presented a harmonious scene on the lawn, complemented by the ethereal sounds of the southern bamboo flute. From a 3,000-year slumber, the “Dark Wood Spirit” awoke, delivering a playful monologue, while modern dancers explored the roots of civilization through their movements.

In an exclusive interview, director Yang Ling shared her enthusiasm for blending musical theater with museum experiences. “This performance may very well be the first of its kind in Sichuan, and it could be a groundbreaking addition to the national cultural heritage landscape. The original musical ‘Jinsha’ has introduced many to the Jinsha relics and the ancient Shu civilization, and now we’re integrating iconic scenes from that production within the museum, offering audiences a refreshing perspective.”

The performance also seeks to illuminate the historical and cultural significance of the Jinsha site. Near a sculpture honoring Chinese cultural heritage, a selection from the musical “Jinsha,” titled “Birds and Fish,” was once again showcased. Both motifs are vital to ancient Shu culture, with the famous Sun God Bird gold ornament depicting four birds flying counterclockwise, while the fish motif features prominently on another exquisite relic—a golden crown belt symbolizing royalty and power.

In the exhibition hall, the passionate guide Hu Xiaorong, now in her seventies, recounted the poignant story behind the discovery of the Sun God Bird gold ornament. Bathed in soft light, this national treasure, along with the golden masks and crown belt, sparkled brilliantly, conveying messages from an ancient civilization and showcasing the collective memories of the Jinsha ancestors.

This initiative aims to create a new cultural spectacle in Chengdu, utilizing dynamic performances, in-depth storytelling, artistic displays, and atmospheric lighting to attract more visitors and invite them to embrace the wonders of museums.

In a recent interview, Taiwanese tennis star Hsieh Tseng-Hao spoke about her exciting performance alongside her Russian partner Veronika Kudermetova at the Wuhan Women’s Tennis Open. After making it to the finals of the Beijing Women’s Tennis Tournament, the duo continued their momentum, dominating their first-round match as the sixth-seeded pair. They overcame the Italian-French team of Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Diane Parry in straight sets, with a score of 6-4, 7-2, setting their sights on a quarterfinal clash against the Czech duo of Marie Bouzkova and Barbora Krejcikova.

Reflecting on the match, Hsieh noted that despite falling behind in the first set, they managed to rally back from a 1-4 deficit by breaking their opponents’ serve two times in crucial moments. In the second set, both teams exchanged breaks early on, leading to a tense tiebreak where the Taiwanese-Russian combination excelled, finishing the match with a convincing 7-2 victory in the tiebreaker.

As the Wuhan Women’s Tennis Open makes its return after five years, it features a substantial prize pool of $3.22 million, matching the high stakes of the previous WTA 1000 event in Beijing. Hsieh expressed her enthusiasm about competing in such a prestigious tournament and the opportunity to advance further with Kudermetova as they prepare for their next challenge on the court.

Boeing’s negotiations with its largest union have collapsed for the third time, extending a strike that has already lasted nearly a month. The aerospace giant recently withdrew its pay proposal for around 33,000 American factory workers, which has perpetuated ongoing work stoppages. According to S&P Global, despite Boeing’s efforts to cut costs, such as implementing unpaid leave, the strike is costing the company over $1 billion each month. Consequently, Boeing’s credit rating is now under negative watch, with the risk of being downgraded to junk status looming.

Since the strike began on September 13, members of IAM District 751 have been embroiled in a dispute over wages and retirement benefits. In an effort to resolve the conflict, federal mediators stepped in, prompting renewed negotiations on October 7 and 8. Although Boeing proposed a 30% salary increase along with improved retirement benefits, those discussions ultimately fell apart, and no new talks are scheduled in the immediate future.

Boeing has expressed that retracting its pay proposal renders further negotiations impractical, citing the need to conserve cash during this challenging time.

However, the ongoing strike is creating considerable operational challenges for Boeing. On October 8, S&P Global pointed out that the company’s recovery is in jeopardy due to the strike, emphasizing that Boeing may struggle to achieve its target of producing 38 MAX aircraft per month by year-end. This situation is compounded by the potential for a downgrade, aligning with similar assessments from Fitch and Moody’s.

Presently, the three major credit rating agencies have Boeing rated at the lowest level of investment grade. A downgrade could push the company into junk status, leading to higher borrowing costs and potentially driving away funds that steer clear of speculative-grade assets. As Moody’s notes, Boeing is facing $4 billion in debt maturing next year and an additional $8 billion the following year.

The Buffalo Bills have kicked off the season with back-to-back victories, showcasing a completely transformed offensive strategy. Quarterback Josh Allen appears to be spending more time in the pocket and opting for fewer runs. The departures of star receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis have led the Bills to adopt a more diversified passing approach, which fans will be keen to watch as it develops.

With the absence of Diggs, who was often a deep ball target, the Bills have shifted toward shorter passing plays. While the sample size is still small, Allen’s completion rate over the two games stands impressively at 73.8%, with three touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns recorded.

Last season, Allen averaged 4.7 yards per carry in the ground game, and although his number of rushing attempts hasn’t significantly decreased, his running style has evolved. He now seems to be selectively using his athleticism, especially evident in his two rushing touchdowns against the Cardinals, choosing his moments carefully rather than engaging in direct confrontations with defenders, which has resulted in a decline to an average of 3.7 yards per carry.

Receiver Khalil Shakir has emerged as a key player, tallying a team-high 96 receiving yards across two games. His effectiveness comes from quick routes and timely challenges against defenders, as he has caught every pass thrown his way thus far.

James Cook, not typically known for his bulk, has become a formidable force after the catch, drawing the attention of opposing linebackers and safeties. His awareness and speed have proven invaluable, particularly when Allen faces pressure.

Additionally, newcomers Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid have seen some action as well, raising interest in the distribution of the offensive workload. It will be intriguing to see if anyone steps up to become the primary target as the season progresses.

On October 8, the Chongqing Municipal Culture and Tourism Development Committee revealed some remarkable statistics about tourism during the National Day holiday. By October 7, the city had welcomed approximately 22.68 million domestic visitors, marking a 14.1% increase from last year. These tourists spent around 15.4 billion yuan, reflecting a 15.8% rise, while the number of international overnight visitors skyrocketed by an astonishing 140.4%.

When it comes to popular attractions in the city’s central district, Hongya Cave led the way with about 1.03 million visitors, followed closely by Ci Qi Kou (Porcelain Village) with around 865,000 tourists. The Martyrs’ Cemetery at Gele Mountain attracted about 307,000 visitors, while the Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum and the Yangtze River Cableway drew 123,000 and 99,000 visitors, respectively.

This holiday season was especially lively for cultural and tourism activities in Chongqing. Thematic events titled “Celebrate the National Day and Enjoy Majestic Chongqing” featured over 750 activities, along with more than 100 autumn tourism routes and over 150 initiatives aimed at enhancing visitor experiences.

In terms of cultural and artistic endeavors, 31 theater troupes across the city presented 430 performances, attracting a total audience of 123,000. Additionally, 16 public art galleries showcased 23 themed exhibitions, bringing in approximately 74,000 visitors. Throughout the National Day holiday, 42 public libraries and 41 cultural centers in Chongqing offered free entry and an array of online services, resulting in 740,000 physical visits and 1.13 million online interactions by October 7. Moreover, the city hosted a variety of community cultural activities, with around 620 events engaging nearly 896,300 participants.

Regarding cultural heritage, major museums and memorials in Chongqing organized 79 exhibitions and 113 events covering themes from cultural relics to revolutionary history and science. These institutions collectively welcomed about 1.71 million visitors, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 21.44%.

In a recent interview, we delved into the sensitive subject of animal diplomacy between China and Japan, with a particular focus on the recent gifting of endangered Japanese cranes, known as “toki,” from China to Japan. The two cranes, named “Yangyang” (right) and “Youyou” (left), are now residing at the Sado Toki Conservation Center. While historically, China has used “animal diplomacy” to strengthen ties with its diplomatic partners, current tensions—exacerbated by incidents of violence targeting Japanese nationals in China—suggest that this diplomatic approach may be faltering.

On September 29, the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo made headlines by returning two giant pandas to China. Soon after, it was announced that the Japanese government would be sending back at least 16 toki to China. This symbolic gesture celebrates the successful collaborative breeding efforts for this endangered species, especially significant since the last wild toki in Japan was declared extinct in 2003. The current toki population in Japan, introduced from China in 1990, is a testament to the friendship between the two nations.

In 1985, both countries signed a memorandum as part of the “Japan-China Joint Protection Plan for Toki,” committing to various legislative measures, rehabilitation efforts, and educational programs aimed at protecting the species. Traditionally, Japan returned half of the toki offspring to China, a process that commenced in March 2002 and concluded in March 2016, resulting in the return of 47 birds over seven exchanges.

However, this process has recently faced challenges, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and avian influenza, as well as logistical hurdles regarding transportation costs between the involved departments in both countries.

Sources reveal that the 16 toki being returned to China were born between 2016 and 2022 at the Sado Toki Conservation Center in Niigata Prefecture, comprising seven males and nine females. Their transportation to Beijing is expected by the end of October, pending confirmation of their health, after which they will be cared for at the Beijing Zoo once all necessary arrangements are complete.

The story begins with a burglary at a luxurious home in Pacific Palisades. A woman, who wishes to remain anonymous for safety reasons, shared her experience of the theft that occurred while she was in Europe in 2023. During her absence, the only item left in her home was a deep green Birkin bag, which she had only used once for a birthday celebration.

When two thieves scaled her wall and broke through the back door within just 15 minutes, they made off with a collection of high-end handbags from her closet, including the coveted Birkin. “They seemed like professional assassins,” she recalled, emphasizing how meticulously they searched her studio for receipts to prove the bags’ authenticity.

Initially, she thought her Birkin was lost forever, but a few months later, she found her bag listed for sale at a suspiciously low price on a comparison shopping site. Upon reporting this to the authorities, she learned that Hermès Birkin bags had become a new target for a sophisticated criminal syndicate.

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officials noted that these seasoned criminal groups hail from South America and have been committing numerous breaking-and-entering crimes across the United States in recent years. Like in her case, the syndicates often select high-value items to steal. Unlike typical immigrants, these criminals enter the U.S. specifically to commit thefts, returning home with substantial cash after a successful job.

Post-theft, the stolen items are often funneled to “fences” who launder the goods, turning illegitimate profits into legitimate earnings by reselling them on secondhand websites. Many items that initially retail for upwards of $60,000 can be found online for about $10,000, appealing to buyers who can’t afford retail prices.

In her case, court documents showed that her $37,000 Birkin was sold to a fence, who then placed it on the Redeluxe website for $25,950, accompanied by the tagline “It’s time to realize your Birkin dream!”

The LAPD later formed a task force that successfully identified four suspects from Chile. Initially, the police tracked an SUV they observed around luxury neighborhoods in Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach. Shortly after, the homeowners of those areas reported thefts totaling nearly $97,000, including handbags and jewelry.

Two days later, the suspects were seen driving their SUV again. The task force followed them to Orange County, where they observed further burglaries in Yorba Linda and Anaheim. It wasn’t until the task force coordinated with local police that three of the suspects were apprehended, while one managed to flee.

However, within 45 minutes, that individual returned to an apartment in Exposition Park and was arrested as well. The police discovered weapons, tools used for burglaries, and an array of stolen goods, including watches, brooches, cufflinks, sunglasses, wallets from Louis Vuitton and Gucci, and a Christian Dior handbag—though the Birkin was not among them.

Investigating further, police looked into the fourth suspect’s cellphone and learned that the Birkin had already changed hands, sold to a fence in Granada Hills. This fence, Karla Sunceri, presented an unexpected profile—an elegant 52-year-old with a freshly renovated home and a Lexus adorned with a frame reading “Jesus is Lord.” Notably, her 27-year-old son, Erick Palencia, was nearing graduation from the police academy.

After monitoring Sunceri’s activities and noting that various individuals were entering her home carrying trash bags and coming out empty-handed, they followed her to a Smart & Final store in North Hills. There, she was seen meeting multiple contacts to retrieve packages.

While the victim of the original burglary felt the LAPD was out of touch, mispronouncing “Hermès” as “荷梅枝,” the police were unfazed by language differences.

On November 1, 2023, at dawn, police executed a search warrant at Sunceri’s home, uncovering 46 designer bags, including 16 Hermès, alongside $121,031 in cash. Additionally, Sunceri’s storage unit contained another $197,100, along with her son’s LAPD uniform. Furthermore, a package Palencia had sent to an auction site was intercepted, recovering a Hermès bag and two Chanel wallets.

Sunceri has been charged with 53 counts of receiving stolen property, conspiracy, and money laundering. Palencia faces charges of conspiracy and receiving stolen goods, along with a felony count for transporting stolen property and profiting from it via his personal account. Just a month away from becoming a police officer, Palencia now finds himself at risk of losing that career path.

Both Sunceri and Palencia plead not guilty, with Sunceri claiming her income from cleaning is a mere $1,655 a month, while Palencia stated his earnings from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Griffith Observatory are only $2,500 monthly. Judge David Stuart expressed skepticism about their claims but ultimately allowed Sunceri to post bail at $300,000 and Palencia at $100,000.

Despite Sunceri’s arrest, the market for stolen luxury bags remains active. Earlier this year, numerous burglaries targeted upscale residences across Los Angeles, including homes in Beverly Crest, Pacific Palisades, and Bel-Air.

As for the deep green Birkin that kicked off this series of events, it was sold to Redeluxe during the week it was stolen. The victim attempted to reclaim the bag but was offered only $19,000, which she declined—a decision she likely regrets now. While the owners of Redeluxe faced no criminal charges in connection with the incident, the bag is currently en route back to Los Angeles as evidence in the case.

Tracy Xu, a Chinese woman working in Thailand, found herself in a life-threatening situation while on a trip to Kenya with two friends at the end of April. Their intention was to enjoy the beauty of wildlife during the off-peak season. Unfortunately, they faced a devastating flood in the middle of the night. Tracy clung to a pillar for six hours amidst the raging waters before being rescued. This harrowing experience has profoundly impacted her, and she still flinches at the sound of rain. Now, Tracy and her friends are pursuing compensation from the hotel where they were staying during the incident.

The flooding this year had severely affected East African countries, especially Kenya and Tanzania. On April 30, Tracy, along with her friends Liu Jiatou and Seven, arrived at the renowned safari destination Masai Mara, staying at a luxury camp known as Basecamp Masai Mara. Tracy recalls that the camp boasted excellent ratings and even claimed to have hosted Barack Obama, charging up to $200 per person per night. Upon arrival, the staff warmly welcomed them, assisting with luggage and offering drinks, creating a pleasant first impression. However, they were warned to stay indoors after dark due to the lack of streetlights and staff supervision.

The camp featured individual tents, and Tracy’s friend Liu was assigned to the lowest tent, which raised alarm for Tracy given its location. As Tracy entered her tent, she noticed the river outside was swollen and fast-flowing. “It felt like stepping outside would lead me right into the river,” she recalled, not realizing this foreshadowed the nightmarish events to come.

Around 1 AM, Tracy was jolted awake by a thunderous clap of thunder and received a call from Liu, who informed her that floodwaters were entering her tent. Despite trying to alert the hotel staff through various communication tools like a walkie-talkie and flashlight, their attempts went unanswered. Moments later, Liu told Tracy that her tent had been completely swept away and that she had sought refuge in a nearby tree. Panic-stricken, Tracy realized water had begun to rise rapidly in her tent, and soon it was at waist height.

To avoid being swept away, Tracy clung desperately to a pillar in the tent, calling for help into the pitch-black night. Fortunately, she had her phone and began messaging various contacts. She learned that Seven had been evacuated due to the height of her tent, but the response from rescue efforts was minimal and vague. Hunched over in just her light clothing, the cold water splashing against her left Tracy shivering and increasingly hopeless.

At around 5 AM, Tracy learned that a helicopter was on its way, reigniting a flicker of hope as dawn approached. When light began to break around 6:30 AM, she could finally assess the perilous surroundings: trees surrounded her, and the mud-colored flood surged violently past, with debris continually striking her.

Finally, after about six hours of clinging to the pillar, Tracy heard the sound of helicopter blades. Rescuers arrived, wading through the flood, equipped with life jackets and ropes, and guided her to safety across the river. She later discovered these heroes were from the local organization Mara Elephant Project, dedicated to rescuing elephants affected by the disaster. Afterward, at a local hospital, Tracy reunited with Liu, who had clung to a tree for 12 hours before being rescued by villagers.

This ordeal has left lasting scars on Tracy both physically and emotionally. At the time of the incident, she was menstruating and, after being rescued, her period returned just two weeks later. She endured bruising from debris hitting her during the flood and frequently experiences calf cramps. Now, even the sound of rain triggers a stress response.

Liu, who experienced an even longer ordeal, gained widespread media attention after sharing her story on social media in China. Both women believe the hotel’s lack of emergency procedures for floods contributed to their harrowing experience and losses. They are actively seeking compensation for financial and emotional damages; however, since May, their communications have yielded disappointing results, with only a refund for the room charge received.

In July, the Basecamp Masai Mara resumed operations after a period of adjustments. Following the flood, numerous comments from Chinese netizens who learned of Tracy and Liu’s harrowing experience appeared across various review sites, lowering the hotel’s ratings, although it currently maintains a high score of 4.4.

In a recent interview, the significance of ideological and political education in youth development was underscored, with a focus on its critical role in shaping the future architects of socialism. The speaker stressed the necessity of addressing the fundamental question of who we are educating, indicating that we must cultivate a new generation capable of fulfilling the responsibilities associated with national rejuvenation. By employing a comprehensive “Big Ideological and Political Education” approach, we can instill deep-seated confidence in the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, alongside a belief in the associated theories, institutions, and cultural values, within the minds and actions of young students.

The speaker also articulated the need to broaden the scope of political education to inspire the aspirations of youth. The core of “Big Ideological and Political Education” lies in its wide-ranging framework and vision, utilizing diverse materials and expanding the learning experience beyond traditional classrooms. Today’s youth, as digital natives, are naturally curious and eager to explore. To engage them effectively, political education should extend beyond textbooks and connect with broader societal practices. The dynamic modernization initiatives currently taking place in China provide a rich source of relevant content for this educational model. Potential initiatives could involve taking students to witness rural revitalization projects or visiting state-of-the-art technological advancements, allowing them to experience the essence of national rejuvenation firsthand. Such immersive experiences can spark a deep sense of patriotism and motivation, encouraging students to pursue their ambitions as idealistic individuals committed to holistic development.

Moreover, the speaker emphasized the importance of employing engaging methodologies to captivate student interest and enhance the appeal of ideological education. A nation derives its strength from its people, and nurturing talent begins with education. To resonate with students, ideological lessons must be delivered in an engaging, dynamic, and comprehensive manner. By embracing new media and technologies, educators can innovate their teaching methods, making political education both captivating and pertinent. Formats such as short videos and live streams can effectively convey stories of national progress and embody the spirit of the times. By inviting industry leaders to share their journeys, educators can motivate youth to carve out their own paths. Diversifying teaching methods and experiential learning opportunities can increase the relevance and accessibility of ideological education, stimulating student interest and fostering an engaging learning environment.

Ultimately, the speaker highlighted the necessity for practical initiatives that support youth development and underscore the value of political education. Mere theoretical knowledge is not enough; true understanding emerges through practical application. The overarching goal of “Big Ideological and Political Education” is to develop youth who are visionary, competent, and responsible. Thus, education must bridge the gap between theory and real-world engagement, incorporating opportunities for volunteerism and social research activities, allowing students to develop skills through hands-on experiences. Providing psychological and career guidance is also essential to help students navigate their growth challenges. By implementing these tangible measures, students can genuinely appreciate the significance of ideological education, understand societal development’s broader context, and confidently pursue their aspirations.

There’s a strong belief that when youth are equipped with ideals, skills, and a sense of responsibility, the nation is bound for a promising future, and its people will hold onto hope. By blending diverse resources and collective efforts into “Big Ideological and Political Education,” we can empower young people to showcase their potential in the pursuit of national strength and contribute to our nation’s rejuvenation.
