On September 18, Changsha University of Science and Technology held the opening ceremony of the 2024 freshmen at Yuntang Campus and Jinpenling Campus. Before the ceremony began, more than 14,000 freshmen sang songs such as "Red Flag Fluttering" and "The Motherland Will Not Forget", passing a huge national flag in generous singing, and confessing to the motherland with their youth.
Under the golden sun, all the freshmen lined up neatly and raised their hands. A giant national flag 18 meters long and 12 meters wide slowly moved through the crowd, and the red waves rolled over the track and field, making the scene shocking. "When my hands touched the national flag, my heart was extremely excited and proud!" Pang Taiming, a 2024 undergraduate student in the School of Literature, Journalism and Communication, is excited. He said that as a young person in the new era in an era of peace, we should not forget the national suffering 93 years ago, and should learn from history, work hard, learn knowledge and skills in a solid manner, and strive to become pillars.
"Dear new students, wear this school emblem, and you will be connected with Changli from now on. This means that we must shoulder the responsibility ......of practicing the spirit of 'erudition, practice, integrity, and innovation' at the ceremony, Fu Hongyuan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Changsha University of Science and Technology, wore the school emblem for the freshman representatives, and encouraged everyone to strive to grow into a new person of the era with "bright background, strong practice, good innovation, and dare to take responsibility". All the freshmen also wore the school emblem one after another, officially completing the identity transformation of "Changli people".
"The best generosity for the future is to give everything to the present. In such the best of times, there's no reason why we shouldn't be the best version of ourselves! Cao Jia, President of Changsha University of Science and Technology, sent a message to all the new students, determined to "serve the country with science, serve the country with engineering, and serve the country with talents", integrate their own development into the torrent of national development, always walk in the same direction with the times, resonate with the country at the same frequency, stand bravely at the head of the tide, ride the wind and waves, let go of life dreams in the fiery youth, and achieve career glory in the youth of hard work.
The opening ceremony also held a sealing ceremony for the "Time Post Office - A Letter to Myself When I Graduated from University". All the freshmen put their planning for the future into the "Time Post Office", freeze their youthful dreams, and let time witness their growth. It is reported that this is the fourth consecutive year that the school has held a "Time Post Office" sealing ceremony at the opening ceremony.
"This opening ceremony is 'super burning'! It was the beginning of my university life! Hu Boyang, a 2024 undergraduate student of the School of Civil Engineering, solemnly threw the letter to the future into the mailbox, saying that he would have ideals, temper his skills, pursue excellence, add glory to the school, and contribute to the construction of a strong country.
