I firmly believe that the fruitful fruits of China's hard-core innovation are inseparable from the deep research and development soil." Lei Jun said.
I sincerely hope that Wuhan University can cultivate more outstanding engineers, scientists, and hard-core technology entrepreneurs. I sincerely hope that Wuhan will continue to increase its efforts in cultivating and introducing talents in basic research, and drive more scientific research talents to emerge. When we gather together, we are like a fire, and when we are scattered, we are like stars, and together we will sail towards the starry sea where China's hard-core technology is rising.
