On October 16th, the 40th Anniversary Meeting of the Russian Language Teaching and Research Association of the Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Society was held at Shanghai International Studies University. The third “Lifetime Achievement Award for Russian Language Education in China” and “Outstanding Contribution Award for Russian Language Education in China” were presented at the conference. A total of 25 senior scholars from 17 colleges and universities, who have worked hard for more than 50 years for the Russian language education in China have been commended. Among them, the two experienced teachers of the School of Foreign Languages, Professor Yu Yanchun and Professor Liu Qingning won the “Outstanding Contribution Award for Russian LanguageEducation in China”.
The Russian major of NENU has a glorious history of development and a tradition of rigorous academic research. Many scholars with both ability and political integrity have made outstanding contributions to the construction of the Russian major of Northeast Normal University and the development of Chinese Russian education. Professor Yu Yongnian, Professor Yuan Xuehui, and Professor Zhao Shizhang respectively won the first and second “Outstanding Contribution Award for Russian Language Education in China”. This time, Yu Yanchun and Liu Qingning were awarded the commendation, which once again confirmed the exemplary, leading and radiating role of the older generation of Russian teachers in NENU in promoting the development of Russian language education. It is believed that the spirit of the older generation of Russian teachers will inspire the younger generation to inherit the red gene, continue to work hard for the glorious dream, and forge ahead.
