Abstract: The spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea is a valuable legacy gained by the Party and the people through great struggles. It represents national strength and wisdom during wartime and is a crucial component of the spiritual pedigree of Chinese Communists, with rich connotations. In the new era, inheriting this spirit in local universities is essential for fulfilling the fundamental task of moral education and cultivating individuals. It helps to inspire patriotism among teachers and students, enhance their cultural confidence, and foster their spirit of perseverance. Currently, there are issues in the inheritance of this spirit, such as insufficient intrinsic motivation, a lack of a conducive atmosphere, and inadequate exploration of educational resources. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify efforts to inherit the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea in local universities, integrating it into all aspects and fields of talent cultivation, including curriculum education, practical education, cultural education, and online education. This will promote the healthy growth of college students and gather immense spiritual strength to cultivate a new generation capable of shouldering the great responsibility of national rejuvenation.

Key words: spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, local universities, inheritance
