The age always assigns the historical responsibility to the youth，As the "powerful generation" you，It has been in major historical moments such as the 70th anniversary of the National Day, the centennial of the founding of the Party, the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the 20th National Congress of the Party，Personally felt the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation pulsating times，He witnessed great achievements in the development of the cause of the Party and the country，Experienced the powerful charm of socialism with Chinese characteristics。Born at the right time and with heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, you grasped the opportunities given by The Times, poured wisdom and sweat, fought hard and ran with all your strength, and achieved the best results of contemporary Beitech students on the track of youth。

Among you, Niu Xiuxiu, a PhD graduate from the School of Materials Science, is committed to innovation and the pursuit of excellence. She has published a number of high-level research results in top international journals such as Science as the first author or co-author. She has practiced bravely and bravely with tenacity and hard work。Li Chenzhihang, a graduate of the College of Life Sciences, is proud of his family and the people. Inspired by the red gene of "Yan 'an root and military soul", he resolutely joined the army. During his service, he got a straight A in military subjects and acted with responsibility when the large-scale snow and ice disaster occurred in Northeast China。Sun Fupeng, a graduate of the School of Mathematics and Statistics, has played an active role as a pioneer and model party member, applied what he learned to national key research and development projects, and created the "Rural π Plan", contributing to the youth power of BTU for poverty alleviation and rural revitalization!
