In the more than 70 years of running a school, Changchun University and its predecessor share the same destiny with the motherland, and have made positive contributions to national and local economic and social development. In the exploration and practice of seeking its own development, through the extraordinary efforts of several generations of adults, it has gradually formed a solid foundation of discipline and professional advantages and a unique education and teaching brand. In 1987, the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the People's Government of Jilin Province established the first special education college in Asia to recruit visually impaired and hearing impaired students for higher education at Changchun University, creating a precedent for the disabled in my country to receive higher education. In the long-term practice of running a school, Changchun University has built a system for training undergraduate talents in higher special education, filling the gap in my country's higher education. In 2018, three majors were approved to recruit candidates with a single examination and single admission for postgraduate qualifications for disabled students, among which the majors of fine arts and art design are the first in China. For more than 30 years, the special education work has won many international and domestic honors and awards, and has been designated as a "National Pilot College of Higher Inclusive Education for Disabled Persons" by the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the Ministry of Education. In 2002, Deng Pufang, the then chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, pointed out when attending the 15th anniversary meeting of the college, "The School of Special Education of Changchun University is the earliest, largest, most comprehensive and highest-level school, and it occupies a leading position in the field of higher special education in my country." 2017 In 2008, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the hospital, Zhang Haidi, chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, pointed out in his congratulatory letter that "the establishment of the School of Special Education of Changchun University is a historic beginning of China's higher special education and a milestone in the development of the cause of the disabled in China." New era In the new leap, the school will strive to build the special education college into a domestic leading and international first-class higher special education institution. Changchun University is the birthplace of the "Tuanfeng" spirit. One day in April 1989, Jin Xie, a disabled student at the school, received a 10 yuan remittance slip signed "Tuanfeng", and then the second and third remittance slips arrived unexpectedly. For a time, many college students with difficulties in life have successively received remittances signed "Tuanfeng". After the "Tuanfeng" deed appeared, it attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Organizations at the national, provincial and municipal levels made decisions one after another, calling on the youth of the League members to learn "Tuanfeng" based on their own jobs, and strive to be role models for young people and pioneers of the times. Over the years, the spirit of "Tuanfeng" has been continuously enriched and developed, forming the basic spiritual connotation of "caring for others, selfless dedication, determination to become talents, and serving the motherland" as the core. It has developed from an individual poverty alleviation and love action in the early stage to a practical activity with the theme of "patriotism, dedication and dedication" for teachers and students of the school and even social youth groups, which is in line with Chinese culture and the spirit of the times. In 2019, the school held a grand meeting to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the "May 4th" Movement and the 30th anniversary of the "Tuanfeng" activity, in order to carry forward the characteristics of running a school and inherit the spirit of "Tuanfeng".
