Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on China and the world. In order to fight against it, China has adopted a series of decisive and effective anti-pandemic measures with outstanding results. The leadership of the Communist Party of China, the system of concentrating on doing great things, and the people-centered development concept fully demonstrate China’s unique political and institutional advantages; the core values of socialism play an important leading role in the pandemic prevention and control; the principle of collectivism is fully demonstrated. The ideological and political course can be well constructed with the “anti-pandemic” stories in China. The facts can reveal some western media’s distorted reports on the achievements of China’s “anti-pandemic”, enhance the ideological and political course teachers’ sensitivity and discerning power in keeping the ideological “responsible field”, and cultivate college students’ responsibility and sense of mission to be “responsible for the great task of national rejuvenation”.

Key words: the pandemic exam, political and institutional advantages, the core values of socialism, the principle of collectivism, ideological and political education
