We will make our own contribution to the national renaissance and the construction of a strong nation.

Afterwards, the trainees watched a video on the theme of the annual meeting. The video linked the growth marks of the participants in the process of learning and exchange, social practice and other processes in 2023 with the "coordinates" of CPC, and a number of participants shared what they had gained, thought and hoped for in the year, and their lively and humorous words and sincere and touching scenes drew applause from teachers and students all over the room.

Zhou Lin Yan made the 2023 annual work report. The report reviewed the work of the year 2023 from three aspects: Firstly, consolidating the foundation and strengthening the ideological value leadership. The trainees combined theoretical learning and study tours to understand the spirit of struggle. Second, learning, thinking and realising, and improving the daily cultivation of talents. The five-education fusion cultivation plan and the peer education mode of cross-semester exchanges have been perfected day by day, which help the cadets pay attention to current affairs, cultivate the underlying knowledge, and strengthen their bodies and minds. Thirdly, it is to keep the right and innovative, enriching the practical connotation. Cadets lead and drive the pairing of "Siyuan Special Class" students in Eryuan No.1 Middle School, Quzhang "Reserve Dreams" Rural Practice Base and other helping programmes, completing the important transformation of "helping others to help themselves" in practice. In practice, it has accomplished the important transformation of "helping others to help themselves". At the same time, she pointed out that the next phase of the CCCP will focus on the fundamental task of establishing moral education in colleges and universities, investigating the growing educational needs of students, focusing on the formation of CCCP's characteristic student career planning, building a platform for cross-disciplinary learning, expanding the internship platform for international organisations, and advancing the practice of rural revitalisation into the work of the CCCP, so as to help students to set up a big ambition, do a big job and go to the big stage. Finally, on behalf of the teachers and students of CCTP, she expressed her gratitude to the school and the support of Rongchang Foundation, and put forward her expectations for the CCTP trainees to adhere to their initial mission and continue to grow and explore.

Wang Jianming concluded his speech. He pointed out that the theme of "coordinates" of this annual meeting is very meaningful, and coordinates include multi-dimensional meanings such as "point" to "quadrant", and participants should carefully examine their own positioning. We are closer than ever to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but the world is also in the midst of a century of unprecedented changes, with local wars and uncertainties. Under the premise of adhering to the original intention, the "coordinates" of students' life should not remain unchanged in the process of concrete development, but should be continuously enriched and improved with the times, and dynamically adjusted. Wang Jianming affirmed the excellent results of the training of the first to eighth CAREERS programme, and the cohesion of CAREERS all over the world was gratifying, and he expected that the students would be able to discover the most accurate and the most beautiful "coordinates" of their lives through their own efforts.

At the end of the annual meeting, the venue was lit up with starlight. All CCTF students sang the class song "Star Flame", reviewing the life of CCTF over the past year. No matter where they are in the future, the spark of CCTF will always shine in their hearts. I wish every CCTF student can explore infinitely and keep the star flame burning forever.

Yu Ding, a student from the 7th phase of CCTS, completed a piece of calligraphy "Explore Infinity" on the spot, which was dedicated to the annual meeting and inspired the CCTS students to be enterprising and courageous in the new year, explore the uncharted territory and embrace infinite possibilities.
