Mr. Zhang Xugui, director of Academic Affairs Office, Ms. Zhang Xiaoqian, director of International Affairs Office, Zhou Hong, vice secretary of the Party Committee and Professor Zhang Fengman have also attended the conference.
Soon after, Dr. Tseng also visited our college’s Sichuan embroidery museum and ancient furniture museum with great interest. In the meanwhile, vice Professor Zhang Chi gave elaborate explanation about the ancient furniture in Ming and Qing’s dynasty. Dr. Tseng spoke highly of our college’s devotion to non-material cultural heritage. He claimed that our college’s unique textile historical inheritance and cultural deposit had given him a really deep impression.
At 1 o’clock in the afternoon, over 300 students and counsellors have attended Dr. Tseng’s lecture of college students’ innovative undertaking, which is presided by vice secretary of the Party Committee Zhou Hong. Dr. Tseng has pointed out, under our national highest-level policy-making background “One Belt and One Road”, with rapid development of high-technology, innovation belongs to one of the most necessary qualities of 21st century’s elite. As the famous innovation master Steve Jobs said: “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. Thanks to his consistent innovation on original products, Apple’s iPhone and iPad now enjoy high reputation and sales volume all over the world.
Besides, Dr. Tseng has also pointed out, students’ innovative undertaking should take 4 “I” into consideration nowadays: Inventions (e.g. light bulb, airplane), Improvements (e.g. Walkman→iPod), Integration (e.g. Walkman + mobile phone → iPhone). In addition, Increase (e.g. sales value) and Incentive (e.g. Bonus) should also be considered. Innovation should also take four steps with “W”: Why, why not, what … if and what for (for whom),
Our college’s students have had a heated discussion with Dr. Tseng during the lecture.
