Inheriting the Geological Spirit and Practicing the "Three Earnests and Four Stricts": The Mission, Responsibility and Practical Path of Youth in the New Era for Serving the Country Through Energy

An Exploration and Reflection from the Perspective of Youth at Southwest Petroleum University

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the new era, the realization of energy security and the "dual carbon" goals urgently requires the youth generation to take "serving the country through energy" as their mission and responsibility, and deeply integrate the geological spirit with the concept of the "Three Earnests and Four Stricts". Based on the school history of Southwest Petroleum University and combined with typical cases in the energy industry, this paper systematically expounds the internal logic and contemporary value of the geological spirit (hard work, seeking truth from facts, pioneering and innovating, and selfless dedication) and the "Three Earnests and Four Stricts" (to be an honest person, speak the truth, do practical things; strict requirements, strict organization, serious attitude, and strict discipline). It puts forward the practical paths for the youth in energy technology innovation, green transformation, and international cooperation. Through theoretical analysis and practical cases, it demonstrates the feasibility of the youth taking the "Three Earnests and Four Stricts" as the code of conduct and the geological spirit as the spiritual core, providing a reference for the cultivation of energy talents in colleges and universities in the new era.
