On October 30, the representatives of teachers and students of Wuxi Fisheries College visited Mr. Jiang Weigen, a veteran of the Korean War and a retired cadre of FFRC (Wuxi Fisheries College), and listened to the 91-year-old veteran's touching stories about hard work and bravery, as well as the glorious deeds of the revolutionary ancestors.
The teachers and students were impressed by the patriotic spirit of the volunteer soldiers who defend their homes and the country, and were moved by their unyielding and hard-working revolutionary sentiments under the extremely difficult conditions at the time. As Mr. Jiang said, "Now the life is better, but the good traditions of the past must not be discarded. The younger generations must be educated to practice economy and cherish the hard-won good life."
Hard work, diligence and thrifty are not only traditional virtues, but also an inspiring and indomitable spiritual force, which should be actively inherited and carried forward in any era.

In order to actively respond to the call and advocate the good habit of "refuse to be extravagance, resist waste, be proud of ‘clear your plate’, and be ashamed of ‘waste’”, students of Wuxi Fisheries College have been doing their best. On the one hand, the food-saving publicity activities were carried out among teachers and studentsin the campus. From November 2 to 10, the food-saving publicity activity of "You clear your plate, I pay" was held in the cafeteria. With the "zero" waste of plates after lunch, you can exchange a small gift for free, calling on everyone to eliminate waste and help develop the habit of clearing the plates; at the same time, Wuxi Fisheries College launched the "save a grain, a drop of water, a kilowatt-hour of electricity, a piece of paper" initiative, and organized a "saving common sense knowledge" promotion activity, vigorously promoting the behavior and habits of respecting labor and saving food. The series of activities received positive responses from teachers and students. During the period, more than 500 small gifts were exchanged. The awareness of proactive diligence and thrift was further enhanced, and food waste was significantly reduced, which consolidated the effectiveness of the activities.
On the other hand, Wuxi Fisheries College also organized students to go out of the campus to distribute brochures, and promote the knowledge of thrift on the spot of the college’s cooperative enterprises, so that more people can participate in diligence and thrift activities.
