Abstract: The attempt to introduce “cases with Yunnan characteristics” into ideology and politics courses to enhance the students' love for their home and country by giving them the chance to write and tell stories of modern history and other red-culture topics about their own hometowns needs further exploration. After introducing the idea, implementation and process of the project, the paper, departing from a presentation of achievements attained and efforts made to identify existing problems, proceeds to suggest concrete measures for the local universities to strengthen sense of identification with wider application of “cases with Yunnan characteristics” to ideology and politics courses and enhance teaching effectiveness.

Key words: ideology and politics course of local university, “case with Yunnan characteristic”, writing, telling, feasibility, practicality
