At the same time, they should quickly adapt to the learning pace and lifestyle of university to lay a solid foundation for future development.

Teacher Zhao Lihua, on behalf of the class teachers, put forward four expectations for the students: "not afraid of hardship, willing to suffer losses, know how to be grateful, and learn to think." She emphasized that university life is not only about the accumulation of academic knowledge but also the shaping of personal qualities and abilities. She encouraged the new students to face challenges bravely in their studies, not be afraid of difficulties, dare to endure hardships, and also learn to cooperate in teams, know how to be grateful, and cherish every opportunity for learning and growth.
