Whereas talent is key to realizing the Chinese Dream, namely, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the nurturing of talent counts on teachers. That is the gravity teachers bear in actualizing the dream. Over the years, Chinese teachers have followed up on the CPC policy on education. They teach with love, knowledge, wisdom, and dedication. Generations of talent cultivated have testified to the contributions teachers have made to China's education as well as national development and rejuvenation. The new era calls for a greater pool of high-quality talent, whose growth depends on a high-quality teaching workforce. In other words, the composite strength and quality of our entire nation hinges on the overall quality of our teachers. To develop the nation through talent, we must first and foremost build the professional capabilities of teachers.

Teachers are pillars for cultural inheritance and transmission. The soul of a nation manifests through its culture. Progress in Chinese civilization for thousands of years, as well as modern advancement of China and its spiritual outlook, as General Secretary Xi has reiterated, is inextricably bound up with the character and talent of the Chinese people. The endeavor of education, and that of teachers, are to build on past successes for the future. In a word, teachers play a fundamental role in the inheritance and development of fine traditional Chinese culture and the national spirit.
