"It is also my hope that you are to keep pace with the times and strive forward to meet the needs of the country so that you can play a part in our country's development of science and technology toward greater self-reliance. In the process of helping solve the 'bottlenecks' in China's development, you should all be 'tide makers' in the tide of the times. "
