She also extended heartfelt thanks and sincere regards to all the staff involved in the design, construction, and management. She stated that the campus construction during the summer has yielded significant results, bringing about a renewed transformation of the campus. The new student apartments are not only a "happiness project" aimed at improving students' living conditions and educational environment, but also an important support for the university's high-quality development with a focus on intrinsic growth.
Secretary Chen Xiaohong emphasized that building a first-class university and sharing the benefits of development is the university’s unwavering dream and persistent pursuit. The university has fully achieved its "Three-upgrade Strategy" goals and consistently upholds the educational philosophy of "everything for students, for all students, and for the benefit of students." It continues to strengthen its infrastructure efforts, significantly improving facilities. The campus has experienced "small changes every year, major changes every three years, tremendous changes every five years, and a transformation every ten years." She hopes that the relevant departments will provide high-quality, efficient, and convenient services with care and dedication, supporting students' growth and success with love and responsibility. She also encourages students to plant the seeds of their dreams in the new student apartments, to be bold in exploration and diligent in practice, striving to become high-quality talents with a global perspective, a sense of patriotism, professional competence, and compassion.
After the ceremony, the Chief Leaders visited the new student apartments, carefully examining the various facilities inside the rooms.

The various hardware and software facilities are among the top rank in the province and even nationwide. After the intensive construction during the summer vacation, the campus has transformed into an elegant and beautiful environment, filled with lush greenery. It has been revitalized and is breathtakingly attractive, welcoming the 75th anniversary celebration and the start of the new semester with a fresh spirit.
