Guo Hang sent a heartfelt message to the new students. The youngsters in China in the new era were born at the right time and shoulder the heavy responsibilities. This new era provides unprecedented opportunities for young people to grow into talents and puts forward higher requirements for the development of the youth at the same time. He hopes that all the freshmen will be consistent in keeping diligent and being eager to learn and stick to the belief that sharp swords have to be honed. Students also need to strengthen moral awareness, be good at distinguishing right from wrong, emulate those better than oneself and correct the mistake once it happens. Students should learn to be self-disciplined, do more physical exercise, constantly improve the humanistic quality and aesthetic taste, live positively and optimistically, and be brave in taking responsibility and dedication in the new era and new journey.

       Ms Long Haiying expressed the hope that students will adapt to the university as soon as possible, learn how to realize self-study, self-growth and self-improvement, form the habits of independent reading and thinking, take the first step in the university, and live a self-disciplined and meaningful university life. Mr. Hong Zhenhua briefly introduced the outstanding achievements of the International College's overseas programs, and encouraged freshmen to set goals, study hard to explore knowledge, improve their comprehensive quality, and be determined to move forward and surpass themselves.
