China News Service, Hefei, September 6 (Reporters Ren Shuai, Zhang Qiang, Chu Weiwei) On the evening of September 6, the 2026 "Write the Chapter of Youth on the Land of the Motherland" online theme publicity and interactive guidance event was held at the University of Science and Technology of China.
Chen Liquan, winner of the 2025 National Highest Science and Technology Award and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that at the age of 86, he now has new ideals: in the not-too-distant future, aircraft in the sky will be electric, ships in the sea will be electric, and the carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts in the space station can also generate electricity... I call it 'Electric China'.
Chen Liquan said that an important mission of scientists is to plan the future for the country ten, twenty or even fifty years from now. Whatever the country needs, we will do it.
Chang Jin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the University of Science and Technology of China, encouraged the students with three tokens at the meeting: a 515-gram pure gold merit medal with "two bombs and one satellite"; a rough red brick; and a set of precious photos. Chang Jin said emotionally that he hoped the students would be as caring about their country and the fathers of the "two bombs and one satellite", be self-reliant and self-reliant like the brick-burning predecessors, and bravely climb to the top with the contemporary people of USTC.
Wang Ji, a 'model of the times' and a researcher at the School of Computer Science at the National University of Defense Technology, said: 'Today, I am sitting in a wheelchair and continue to pursue cutting-edge technology and continue to work hard to strengthen the military through science and technology. As long as my brain can still think, I will be a warrior on the scientific research battlefield. As long as my hands can still type on the keyboard, I can continue to charge! "Wang Ji said with emotion, how lucky he is that he can closely connect his personal struggle with the destiny of the country. The motherland will not let down every hard worker, "Students, please cherish this great era. No matter where you go in the future, please remember the four words "same frequency resonance". Place yourself where the country needs you, and the road will naturally become wider and wider. "
