President LI Yuxia expressed her heartfelt congratulations and a warm welcome to the 2022 freshmen on behalf of all teachers, students and staff. She extended her cordial greetings and sincere gratitude to their parents and teachers who nurtured them and all sectors of the society who cared for and supported them. Focusing on how to continue to write the youth chapter of “making a difference” in the “promising” new era in the face of the future, she put forward three hopes to the students. First, they should set their youth course with the ambition of “letting me build a strong country”, understand and think about problems from a global perspective, keep an eye on the primary strategic needs of the country, pay attention to the international academic frontier, and strive to become a pioneering force in promoting reform and innovation. Second, they should write the chapter on youth with the backbone of “letting me struggle”, transform the backbone into the spirit of bravely standing at the forefront, the life pursuit of doing business and entrepreneurship, and the driving force of talent growth, and try to be the future leader. Third, they should bloom their youth dreams with the confidence of “letting me create success”, increase their knowledge and ability, undergo practical training, strengthen their professional foundation, and take the initiative in future competition and development.
For the upcoming military training for undergraduates and college students, LI hoped that students would listen to the command, strictly abide by the discipline, train hard, and complete the training tasks with enthusiasm and high morale, so as to lay a solid foundation for their future study life.
