Abstract: The 11th Party Congress of Chengdu Sports Institute was successfully held on August 28-30, 2018. Comrade Liu Qing, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School, on behalf of the 10th Party Committee, delivered the work report entitled “Holding High the Banner of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to Open up the New Journey of Building a Global Tier-1 Sports University”, which sounds the clarion call for the construction of a global tier-1 sports university. Dividing the construction process into three steps, the report draws a blueprint for the school development in the coming 5 years, 15 years and 25 year. At the new historical starting point, how to accurately grasp and implement the strategic deployment made by the school party committee is an urgent and important task that the school is currently facing. To this end, this journal organized some members of the drafting group of the Party Congress for contributions addressing how to study and implement the strategy from the aspects of what “CDSI spirit” is needed in building a "global tier-1 sports university", and what are the connotation and focus of building a “global tier-1 sports university”.

Key words: party congress, CDSU spirit, tier-1, connotation, focus
