Abstract
This paper explores the close relationship between contemporary college students’ learning and the prosperity of the motherland. By analyzing the role of college students’ learning on personal growth, scientific and technological innovation, cultural inheritance, and social development, this paper expounds how college students can contribute to the development of the motherland in the process of knowledge accumulation and ability improvement. At the same time, the prosperity of the motherland will create a good environment and opportunities for college students to study. The research shows that the study of college students and the prosperity of the motherland promote each other and develop in tandem, and college students should closely combine their personal learning with the destiny of the country, and promote the continuous progress of the motherland while realizing their own values.
