Fu Qifang, former deputy secretary-general of the municipal government of Changde and a researcher of the local culture and history of Changde, was invited to give the lecture. The 79-year-old scholar gave a vivid lecture, explaining profound theories with a simple language, and the listeners benefited a lot from the lecture.

After the lecture, Deputy Secretary Zeng Zheng of the Communist Youth League Committee at Changde Tobacco Machinery called on all Communist Youth League members at the enterprise to understand more about history, cherish what has been achieved presently, make their ideal and belief firm, enhance their sense of responsibility, sense of mission and spirit of struggle, and voluntarily integrate their personal aspirations into the development of the enterprise, development of Changde City and prosperity of the nation.

The May 4th Movement was an anti-imperialist, cultural and political movement growing out of student demonstrations in Beijing on May 4, 1919, protesting the then Chinese government's weak response to the Treaty of Versailles, especially allowing Japan to receive territories in Shandong which had been surrendered by Germany after the Siege of Qingdao.
