He also shared insights based on his personal experience, encouraging young students to maintain curiosity, boldly explore uncharted territories, and pursue their passion for science.
Furthermore, he emphasised the importance of basic disciplines, advising students to cultivate interdisciplinary thinking, focus more on advanced cross-disciplinary fields, while also closely considering how social needs to reflect on the practical values and social significance of scientific research.
