But as an old saying goes：Only after experiencing hardships and twists and turns can one show his brave and resolute character; only through the difficult and dangerous grinding, can it be carved into a piece of jade, showing extraordinary beauty. Under the leadership of General Secretary of China Communist Party Xi Jinping, China has overcome the epidemic situation, and has been working hard to prevent and control the epidemic. We especially understand your situation and firmly believe that you will overcome the epidemic. We are not alone on the Great Way and the whole world is one family. This year has made us more aware of the significance of a community of shared future for mankind. We are both universities with textile characteristics, and our specialties are highly complementary. Wuhan Textile University, as the only university named after textile in China, has cultivated hundreds of thousands of scientific and technological talents at home and abroad for more than 60 years. Under my guidance, my team has made great contributions to China's "chang'e-5 lunar exploration program" and "tianwen-1 Mars probe" national major scientific research projects. I hope to further deepen multilateral exchanges and cooperation, strive to turn crisis into opportunity, and explore a new win-win mode of talent training cooperation in Colleges and universities.
