Zhou Yu said that the year of 2020 is the year of HIT’s 100th anniversary. I believe that on the day of our 100th Anniversary Celebration,you have followed the steps of the “online celebration” and “return to the campus” to participate in this " grand online event".A series of "fancy birthday celebrations",such as “initial resolution”, “dream pursuing”, “saluting”, “struggling” and “voyaging”, have attracted many netizens to watch our “online celebration live” and give their likes to our University. I believe thatevery one of you will certainly be proud of your alma mater for the achievements she made. Among them, the most exciting and inspiring thing for all the members of Harbin Institute of Technology must be the congratulatory letter from President Xi to Harbin Institute of Technology on her 100th founding anniversary. This is a great encouragement and spur to all teachers and students as well as alumni both at home and abroad. We willalways cherish this supreme honor, remember the entrustment, and never insult our mission.

First, be a kind-hearted and noble person.

Second, be a person with lofty goals, sense of responsibility and courage to take on responsibilities.
