“What an astonishing major Textile Engineering is!

This program focused on the Textile Engineering major, and selected Dr. Gong as the representative of the young generation of textile people to share his studying in this major. The program broadcast his painstaking process of realizing his dream: studying aboard, returning WTU, devoting himself to scientific and technological research and development, and filling the gap in China ’s textile engineering field. Dr. Gong said textile in the new era shows its vitality and a new development trend, and refines the traditional definition. Concepts of “Modern Textile, Great Textile, Super Textile” are leading both the textile major and the textile industry to forge ahead. At the end of the program, Dr. Gong declared that the Textile Major welcomes more aspiring young people in  China to join in.

The program also invited Qian Xiaoping, a researcher of  China ’s First Generation of Artificial Vascular, a national Silk expert, the National Silk Industry Lifetime Achievement Award winner, and WANG Lu, a founder of China 's Medical Textile Major, and a professor from the School of Textile of Donghua University.
