President Zhao Shengtian Sending a Message to Graduates


He urged the students to release the youthful passion of the times in their struggle. First, they must love the country and the people, and let the power of youth be fully released in “responsibility”. The Communist Party of China was about to celebrate her 100th anniversary. He hoped that the students should draw wisdom and strength from the history of the party, learn from the miserable and glorious past, feel the ever-changing present, look forward to a bright and magnificent future, use the Party’s practical creation and historical experience to inspire ideas and strengthen character, and strive to release the power of youth in hard work and pioneering path. Second, they must temper their character and let the flower of youth bloom quietly in “acts”. He hoped that students would be the disseminators and practitioners of medical knowledge and skills, bring the most advanced health concepts and medical technology to the primary level such as the countryside and the communities, and to places where the people need it most, and bloom the most gorgeous splendor in the process of “Healthy China”. Third, they must have the courage to innovate and let the ambition of youth take the lead in “growth”. He hoped that the students would bravely step out of the “comfort zone”, inspire innovative dreams with hard work, and show what the “new medical generation” doctors should be. With the calmness and perseverance of “sitting on the cold bench for ten years”, they should always maintain a sense of urgency, high standards, and strictly self-discipline, constantly arm themselves, maintain a sense of crisis and a return to zero mentality everywhere, learn to think independently, dare to innovate, be good at creativity, practice medical missions with youthful ambitions, and make contributions in self-improvement. Fourth, they must learn and do hard work, so that the song of youth would be particularly loud in the going forward. He hoped that the students will keep in mind the original aspiration of the doctors and the trust of the people’s for their health, and always regard the quality and will of practical learning and hard work as the ballast stone on the sailing ship of life, so that they would be stable and far reaching, and create a brilliant future.


Finally, President Zhao Shengtian said affectionately that no matter how big the world was, it was no bigger than a heart full of love; no matter how far you went, it was not far from a common dream! He hoped that the students would remember the “Binzhou Medical University Years” going through together, remember the time and the love here, and remember to come back home often!
