The new era endows college counselors with a new historical mission and a new historical responsibility. Counselors play the main role in ideological and political education in the process of students' development. They should take on "five" roles: the pilots in the students' political development, the instructors of shaping the students' ideals and beliefs, pioneers of formation of values, guides of rules and revealers of life puzzles. Only in this way, can the students be promoted to obtain knowledge, increase their ability and realize their dreams.
