Since its establishment, Guangzhou Nanfang College has been exploring and practicing in the reform of higher education。In April 2024, I am deeply honored to take over as Chancellor of this university, and I feel a great sense of responsibility to come to this dynamic institution。I hope I can make my own exploration and contribution on this new platform。

Under the background of the rapid disciplinalization, specialization and professionalization of higher education, university education, as an institution of higher learning to train high-level talents, will be committed to training modern talents with ideal spirit, humanistic spirit and scientific spirit。For a long time, Southern College has advocated interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary learning, and pursued the unity of breadth and depth of knowledge。We always adhere to the student-centered, respect students' own interests and wishes, and fully consider the individual needs of students。At the same time, Southern College will continue to focus on teaching, not only requiring teachers to commit to high-level teaching, but also scientific research activities will reflect the concept of "promoting teaching by research"。

At present, the development of artificial intelligence is in full swing, and traditional knowledge will not be able to adapt to the rapid development of scientific and technological society。We are committed to cultivating modern talents with thinking ability, communication ability, innovation ability and practical ability。Only by improving our comprehensive ability can we keep pace with the development of The Times。We hope that the students of Southern College will graduate with not just a degree certificate, but can continue to "add value" and become talents with long-term competitive ability。

Guangzhou Nanfang College has gone through nearly 18 years of running a school and is entering "adulthood".。Thanks to generation after generation of teachers and students for their continued struggle to lay a solid foundation。Today, the school has been widely recognized in the community in terms of student training, teaching quality, scientific research and innovation, and service to social and economic development。In the future, I will lead Guangzhou Southern University to meet the new challenges and opportunities in the era of artificial intelligence, and build the university into a first-class applied university with distinctive characteristics。On the way forward, I look forward to working with you hand in hand to create a better future!
