on the morning of september 11, the optics valley gymnasium was like a sea of red. 7,189 freshmen of the 2024 class of huazhong university of science and technology gathered together to sing "singing the motherland" and ushered in the opening ceremony.
young faces, burning passion, and a warm atmosphere.
when chang yani, a student representative, the champion of the women's synchronized three-meter springboard diving at the paris olympics and a student of the school's school of physical education, appeared, the students applauded and cheered. the champion, who was calm and composed on the field, was now as shy as a girl next door. "i am your senior, diving athlete chang yani..." she gently told the story of how she and her teammates won the gold medal in the olympics and how general secretary xi jinping praised them. she encouraged the new students to maintain their infinite love for their ideals, their unremitting efforts for their goals, their persistent pursuit of excellence, to cherish their dreams, shoulder their missions, and strive to realize their life value of strengthening the country.
president you zheng, an academician, gave a message to the freshmen with the theme of "stand upright, pursue excellence, and be strivers in the new era". he urged them to uphold the school motto, be strivers in the new era, and demonstrate the actions and responsibilities of hust students in the journey of the new era.
you zheng reviewed the glorious history of hust’s birth and development in the rising sun of new china. “to think what the country thinks, to worry about what the country worries about, and to meet the country’s needs is the red gene running through the blood of hust teachers and students.” since 1951, when teachers and students from tongji medical college and its affiliated hospitals formed a volunteer surgical team to fight against the us and aid korea, they resolutely rushed to the front line to save lives and heal the wounded. generations of hust people have continued to pass on this “baton” and have always consciously pursued serving the country and the people.
he praised the champion students of huazhong university of science and technology zheng qinwen, chang yani and sun mengya who won the paris olympics this year.
"fighting for the country has been zheng qinwen's dream since she was a child, and it is also the original intention that accompanies her to victory. she said: 'in our hearts, the honor of the country will always be greater than that of the individual', showing the determination and courage of huazhong university of science and technology to 'use my youth to create a youthful china'."
"a country or a nation without science and technology will collapse at the first blow; without humanistic spirit, it will collapse without any attack."
you zheng quoted the famous saying of the former principal, academician yang shuzi, and said that we not only advocate science, but also promote humanities; we not only focus on strengthening professional education, but also pay attention to integrating cultural quality education into professional education, so that campus culture can permeate students.
he further explained that recently, feng ji, a 2000 undergraduate alumnus of the school of life sciences, produced the first domestic 3a game "black myth: wukong", which became popular all over the world and released the unique charm of china's excellent traditional culture to the world. not only that, he also implanted elements such as "1037" of huazhong university of science and technology in the game. these hidden "easter eggs" reflect his gratitude and concern for his alma mater. the school's educational environment and training system allow him to give full play to his interests and specialties and explore unlimited possibilities while completing his studies. huazhong university of science and technology insists on educating people with culture and educating people with culture. you can feel the abundant spiritual source in the humanities lectures, scientific spirit and practice lectures, and experience the collision of technology and humanities in forest concerts and light and shadow shows. in a free, inclusive and open environment, everyone can become talented and everyone can shine.
at this time, there was warm applause from the audience.
in june this year, the team of fang zhong, an undergraduate alumnus of the school of physics in 1987 and an academician of the chinese academy of sciences, won the first prize of the national natural science award for their important scientific discovery in "computational prediction of topological electronic materials", which put my country's topological material research at the forefront of the world. "today, the soil for innovation at hust is even more fertile. this year, the school has comprehensively revised the undergraduate training program and tailored innovative and challenging high-level courses for you. now, more than 20,000 students participate in various innovative and entrepreneurial practices every year. in the past two "challenge cup" national college students' extracurricular academic science and technology works competition and entrepreneurship plan competition, the school won two second-place results in the country, achieving a historic breakthrough."
"students, success will not fall from the sky. only by hard work and simple efforts can you grow through experience and realize the value of life." you zheng said earnestly, "i hope you will actively adapt to the school's goal and requirements of cultivating first-class talents, constantly hone your skills, bravely take the lead in the development of various undertakings of the party and the country, and strive to grow into top-notch innovative talents with soul in the new era."
