What does the sense of mission of contemporary intellectuals include? It should include three aspects: the first is the historical mission. As an intellectual, knowledge comes not only from the present, but also from the accumulation of history. It is the historical mission of every China intellectual to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and contribute to it. The second is academic mission, because intellectuals are engaged in academic inquiry, so we should respect and take seriously the achievements of human civilization, continue and inherit this civilization, contribute China's experience and wisdom to the world, and enrich human civilization. While carrying forward traditional culture, we should also accept foreign knowledge and the essence of human civilization, and then make contributions to human civilization. Third, we should grasp social practice in the way of thought and theory, extract theoretical problems from China's practice, examine social reality in a theoretical critical way, and lead social change, social development and social progress.
