“For the World, For the Truth” is the motto of Hebei Normal University, which has been distilled from multiple sources in one continuous line through the vicissitudes of a century. It is a period of time, a string of symbols, a banner, a belief, a soul, a manifestation of spirit, an expression of culture, a historical accumulation and a present commitment. From Shuntianfu School (顺天府学堂), Beiyang Women’s Normal School (北洋女师范学堂) to Hebei Normal University, combing the strenuous efforts of its founders and administrators such as Li Duanfen (李端棻), Fu Zengxiang (傅增湘), Lv Lanqing (吕兰清), and Qi Guoliang (齐国樑), and the achievements of its elites such as Liang Shuming (梁漱溟), we come to understand the centennial endeavor of the teachers and students of Hebei Normal University embracing this sublimated ideal “For the World, For the Truth” despite all the ups and downs along the way. It is both spiritual motivation and cultural heritage, carrying forward the tradition that all under heaven are of one family and the teaching to seek truth to meet practical needs, respect teachers and esteem morality, and participate in entrepreneurial activities. This centuryold cultural spirit will surely display its unique glamor in the new era.
