On September 10, more than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students of Peking University ushered in the opening ceremony of the May Fourth Stadium, which is full of greenery. Hao Ping, president of Peking University, sent a message to the new students to understand China, understand the world, understand the times, and understand themselves.
Hao Ping said: To come to Peking University, we must first understand China, study history in the new period, strengthen our convictions, inherit the spirit of patriotism, progress, democracy, and science, and integrate study and scientific research into the lofty ideals and practices of building the country; we must read the world, cultivate an international vision, and promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations; we must understand the times, cultivate innovative thinking and adaptability in the face of the ever-changing development of science and technology, and cultivate innovative thinking and adaptability; we must read ourselves, grow up in a down-to-earth and healthy manner in the new environment, and cultivate a sound personality, noble qualities, and a healthy body and mind. And closely link themselves with the country, the nation, the world and the times. "What you want to gain at Peking University is not only knowledge, but also a healthy body, as well as the spirit of seeking truth, the courage to overcome difficulties, the meticulous dialectical thinking, and the optimistic and open-minded mentality, which will determine the pattern of life and the potential for development."
Hao Ping also reminded the new students, "The profession is not a knowledge barrier, but a solid learning platform that allows you to ascend to a lofty height, not only to maintain the enthusiasm for professional learning, but also to pay attention to the unity of specialization and bo. He hopes that the new students can build a knowledge system that meets the requirements of the times and explore their own learning paths.
"Perhaps in the eyes of relatives and friends, you have embarked on the broad road of life, and the great future seems to be within reach." But in fact, you choose a thorny path for yourself, and after entering Peking University, you may soon feel frustrated academically. In the next study, you may get scores and rankings that you have never had since you were a child, you may find yourself no longer the focus of your classmates, the darling of your teachers, and perhaps even this is the most fulfilling time in your life. As a Peking University person, you need to work harder than other peers, just to make yourself look like you are not going downhill..." After speaking about this content that caused the new students in the audience to laugh, Liu Ruochuan, a representative of Peking University's teachers, a professor at the School of Mathematical Sciences and a liberal arts distinguished professor, sent a key word of his experience summary to the new students - learning to communicate.
Liu Ruochuan said that the first thing is to communicate with his classmates, and meeting people who are better than himself is a great blessing in life. The second is to communicate with your own teacher. Finally, communicate more with the great sages. Universities are educational institutions, but also academic institutions. He hoped that no matter when and where, the students would always have a firm belief in reason and maintain sincere respect for the pursuit of new knowledge.

In addition, Wang Yijin, one of the first undergraduate students of the Marxist College of Peking University, made a speech as a representative of the 2021 undergraduate freshmen. In her speech, she said that for every student who studies Marxism, academic diligence is important, but the most important thing is to think and remember why you started. Only by keeping in mind the original intention of making choices can we gain great motivation on the road of learning and exploration, and can we go straight, steady, and far.
