Bian Jing pointed out that, foreign education is a must for all the students in university, which therefore has a great implication.

At the same time, with the help of the languages, it is easier for us to interact with outside world, adding momentum for the rejuvenation of Chinese nation. Bian added.
Mr. Bian also stressed that this was the best of our time, and the university had the duty to provide correct guidance for younger generations.
