Cultivating the Chinese dream of college students is currently important ideological and political education task, and adhering to the combination of theoretical indoctrination and practical education is the inevitable choice for doing this work. The practice path is to make the students contact the social masses, know the great achievements of social development, and understand the mission and responsibility for the rejuvenation of Chinese nation through the contact with social reality. By practical education, the contemporary college students can be made to use objective knowledge to replace subjective assumption, to use rational construction to replace blind criticism and to use lofty ideals to replace doing without their own ideas.
