At the same time, it is necessary to actively connect and spread knowledge, experience, and values ​​to the younger generation; imparting not only knowledge but also national spirit, revolutionary ideals, patriotism, and humanity. This is the most practical way for good values ​​to be promoted and live forever in the national cause.
