Students need a spirit of worship and need to respect life, knowledge and others. They also should cherish the period together with teachers and classmates. Third, postgraduates must get into the research status as soon as possible , work hard and do research steadily.

The secretary Wang Desheng showed the following study life for graduate students by the Chinese characters “硕”.

The Chinese words “硕人”mean beauty which refers to the noble character, broad heart. He hoped students can break professional boundaries, help each other, and make the common progress. The Chinese character “硕” also means brilliant success. Students should have creative achievements. Especially doctoral students should be “broad, mastery, abundant, specialized, sophisticated, deep”. He asked the students to find their correct position. Students should learn from the study and study in the learning in order to become high-quality talents to adapt to society.
