On the morning of September 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Guo Yurong, the Chairwoman of the University Council of SUSTech, visited Shenzhen National Defense Education and Training Base and sent her cordial festival greetings on behalf of the University to 2016 freshmen, counselors of the colleges and instructors of military training.

Guo first extended deep appreciation to the instructors of military training and highly appraised their dedication as they devoted the family reunion time into training the students. She was convinced that the military training would be a complete success through their efforts.

Guo delivered a speech after the training. She said: “When I asked you if the military training was tough, you said you didn’t fear hardship. Your answer is of wisdom, telling me it is a tough training, but you are vigorous, courageous and not afraid of difficulties.” She emphasized that the military training is meaningful. “It can deepen your understanding of national defense and fortify your attachment to the country; it can build your willpower and make you more perseverant, adaptive and enterprising; it can tap your own potential, open up your eyes and lead you to think out of the box.” She hoped that the students would apply what they had learned through military training into the next four years on campus.
