　Given the current complex and ever-changing global situation, the rapid development of new technologies represented by artificial intelligence has given rise to numerous new security challenges, becoming a critical area that must be given the highest priority in safeguarding national security. At the same time, cultural security plays an important role in sustaining the national spirit, guarding the roots of the nation, and upholding national unity. China's excellent traditional culture is the shared spiritual heritage of the Chinese nation. To this end, our school specially arranged 9 artificial intelligence exchange sessions and 5 Chinese excellent traditional culture experience sessions for the visiting teachers and students, simultaneously enhancing their awareness of technological security and deepening their cultural confidence and patriotic spirit.

Excellence is not just a slogan — it is a habit that permeates every corner of the campus. In class, the teachers are no longer one-way transmitters; they are more like guides, conveying to us the depth of Chinese history and culture. Outside of class, teachers also introduced us to a diverse range of elective courses: from artificial intelligence to intangible cultural heritage, RDFZ's rich elective course system gave us a concrete demonstration of 'teaching in accordance with individual aptitude.'"
