Editor's Note: The 1990 United Nations World Summit of Heads of Government pointed out regarding women and children issues: to educate a mother is to educate an entire family; to educate all mothers is to educate all of humanity.

At the Global Summit of Women on October 13 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping, on behalf of the Chinese government, put forward four proposals on the development of the global women's cause, explicitly stating that "China is committed to integrating women's cause into the broad practice of Chinese-style modernization." Beijing Changier Education Foundation and Taining Jingxin Culture Association were "in perfect sync" and became the fastest to act: the day after the meeting, a delegation of six arrived in Taining, Fujian, to conduct a national training program for directors of Maternal Love Academies; five days after the meeting, the Maternal Love Academy training base of epochal significance was officially inaugurated.

On the morning of October 20, the "Beijing Changier Education Foundation Maternal Love Academy Training Base" was officially unveiled at Ganlu Courtyard by Dajin Lake in Taining, Fujian, located in the core area of the World Natural Heritage site "China Danxia". Zhang Yinjun, President of the Beijing Changier Education Foundation, and Professor Ji Qun simultaneously pulled the rope. As the red silk slowly fell, the wooden plaque for the base, personally inscribed by Professor Ji Qun, was revealed.

The establishment of the Maternal Love Academy Training Base represents a key strategic initiative by the Foundation's Board of Directors and has received strong support from Director Zheng Yingmin. This base was jointly established by the Beijing Changier Education Foundation and the Taining Jingxin Culture Association, aiming to inherit and promote traditional Chinese culture through maternal love education and training, and to enhance family education and adolescent mental health. President Zhang Yinjun presented the letter of appointment to Hui Ran, Director of the Base. Gao Shunqun, Strategic Advisor to Beijing Changier Education Foundation and Deputy Director of the Center for Cross-Civilization Dialogue Studies at Shandong University, Guo Yang, Director of Beijing Changier Education Foundation, Xiao Yu, former reporter at Shanghai Radio Station and National First-Class Editor, Du Mei, Deputy Director of the Academic Committee of Beijing Changier Education Foundation and Deputy Dean of Maternal Love Academy, Wang Lingling, Deputy Secretary-General of Beijing Changier Education Foundation and Deputy Dean of Maternal Love Academy, together with over 50 deans of Maternal Love Academy and association volunteers, witnessed this historic moment.

President Zhang Yinjun and Professor Ji Qun delivered speeches at the unveiling ceremony.

In her speech, President Zhang Yinjun emphasized that the Global Summit of Women holds milestone significance for the world and also provides valuable guidance for the development of the Maternal Love Academy Training Base. She borrowed from Wang Anshi's "Song of Sweet Dew" from the Song Dynasty, extolling this place as an earthly paradise and educational haven that "should not exist in the mortal world" and is "known only to old friends". She said that by implementing maternal love education amidst mountains and waters, mothers worldwide can find peace of body and mind, wash away their troubles, and grow in wisdom. This not only provides invaluable support for women's physical and spiritual cultivation in today's turbulent world, but also broadens the horizons of children's future lives, which is precisely the goal that the Maternal Love Academy has consistently pursued since launching its maternal love education programs.

Professor Ji Qun holds high hopes for the future of the base. In his speech, he emphasized four times that the cooperative establishment of the base "is of great significance". He pointed out that both sides share a common mission and vision: to inherit and promote the spirit of "love" and "compassion" from China's excellent traditional culture, and to bring more warmth and harmony to humanity and the world. He hopes that both sides will join hands not only to contribute to the spiritual development, character building, and sense of purpose of modern people, but also to shape the cultural character of the Chinese people through Eastern wisdom and to offer Chinese solutions for the future development of a world in conflict.

The millennium-long dialogue among Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism has forged the wisdom gene of "harmony in diversity" in traditional Chinese culture. Through their integration, the three teachings have nurtured a symbiotic system of "governing the world, governing the body, and governing the mind", ultimately crystallizing into the Chinese art of living: "engaging with the world to cultivate oneself and harmonize one's family, withdrawing from it to attain spiritual freedom and enlightenment". Professor Ji Qun has conducted in-depth and systematic research on traditional Chinese culture for many years. He believes that Chinese culture, from cultivating oneself and managing one's family to governing the state and bringing peace under heaven, from personal conduct to practical affairs, positions the family as the crucial link connecting the individual, society, and the world. The bonds between family members and the establishment of shared beliefs and values all rely on the transmission of culture. To this end, the association has not only established a special program for family education but also developed numerous projects related to Zen-inspired living, which aligns perfectly with the goals of the Maternal Love Academy. He hopes that in the future, both parties will collaborate to develop more courses, allowing more families to experience inner peace, nurture their spirits, and flourish with beauty and serenity in life. And this is precisely what has been overlooked in past global development and is especially needed in today's world.

It is reported that the base will be rooted in traditional Chinese culture and integrated with the wisdom of Zen living, creating a cultural space for Maternal Love Academies across regions to explore the philosophical thoughts of ancient sages and experience the rhythm of life, thus giving wings to more families and children to soar. At the ceremony, Zhang Yinjun happened to meet a mother of seven and had a heartfelt conversation with her. Zhang Yinjun hopes that everyone here can create wonderful lives for mothers around the world and contribute wisdom and strength to maternal love education for humanity.

"With perseverance in action, fragrance will naturally emerge over time." After the ceremony concluded, this powerful ancient maxim that Zhang Yinjun shared with everyone and used to inspire herself continued to resonate deeply in everyone's hearts.
