He delineated the advancements made in the initial stages, including the meticulous selection process for internships within the Law School. Dean Liang also gave a resounding endorsement to the conceptual framework and intricate planning of the "Talent Development Class." He pointed out that the "Talent Development Class" for legal interns jointly organized by the Haidian District People's Procuratorate and Beijing Normal University Law School is an innovative practice to thoroughly implement Xi Jinping's thoughts on the rule of law, and an active exploration of the needs for reform in the cultivation of high-level legal talents in the new era. This more standardized, professional, and institutionalized legal intern training model holds profound significance in fostering interaction and exchange between legal education and judicial practice, as well as in advancing the reform of the legal talent cultivation system. Dean Liang eagerly anticipates the continuation and deepening of collaboration with the Haidian District People's Procuratorate in the future, aiming to facilitate a dynamic synergy between judicial theory and its application. He is committed to furthering the seamless integration of judicial work with higher education. Additionally, he expresses his hope that the interns will diligently apply themselves during their internships, acquiring invaluable practical experience in the process.

Xin Dongqing, member of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Political Department of the Haidian District People's Procuratorate, expressed his gratitude to the School of Law of Beijing Normal University for its strong support. He pointed out that the Haidian District People's Procuratorate and the School of Law of Beijing Normal University have a deep tradition of cooperation and co-construction friendship. The "Yucai Class" for legal interns is a new model for the joint training of legal talents between the Haidian District People's Procuratorate and law colleges. This model has effectively promoted procuratorial business and procuratorial research. After the exploration of the first "Yucai Class", the Haidian District People's Procuratorate has improved its work in internship content, internship model and institutional guarantees. This "Yucai Class" has selected outstanding senior prosecutors from various business departments to serve as supervising prosecutors, and has formulated standardized and scientific internship manuals and instruction plans to implement personalized and precise talent training. The Haidian District People's Procuratorate attaches great importance to talent training. In the future, it will continue to explore and optimize the joint training model for legal talents, and looks forward to continuing in-depth exchanges and cooperation with Beijing Normal University Law School .

After the opening ceremony, President Liang Yingxiu and his delegation visited the History Museum of the Haidian District People's Procuratorate.
