He stressed that thoroughly studying and effectively applying Xi Jinping: The Governance of China (Volume V), as well as studying, propagating and implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, are important political tasks at present and in the future. Ideological and political courses serve as the main channel and position for enhancing ideological and political leadership, and efforts should be made to "study in depth, comprehend thoroughly, teach vividly, and implement solidly", so as to effectively transform the learning achievements into practical effects of focusing on "forging the main line" and implementing the fundamental task of "cultivating virtue through education".
