To all Sheng workers and friends who care about us:
Happy New Year.
The dawn of 2026 is about to illuminate our campus. At this crossroads where technology and education are deeply intertwined, we reflect on our journey and look forward to the future.
Our generation has witnessed firsthand how the technological wave has progressively reshaped the world. From massive computers to interconnected networks, from desktop computers to the ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) in our palms—each paradigm shift in technology represents not only an innovation in tools but also a significant breakthrough in the logic of societal operation and the boundaries of human knowledge.
History has proved that every technological revolution will inevitably call for and bring about a profound educational reform.
Today, we stand at a new historical starting point: the Intelligent Era. This is no longer merely about the flow of information, but also encompasses the production of knowledge, the explosion of creativity, and the restructuring of thinking patterns.
In the face of this transformation, education must not merely follow but boldly take the lead. As Mr.Fang Hongbo, Chairman of Midea Group, firmly believes: "Transformation is not an option but the only way to survive. The greatest risk is precisely the reluctance to take risks."
This is precisely the starting point and original aspiration of all reforms at Shenyang Institute of Technology. We are no longer content with patchwork solutions, but aim to challenge the impossible and undertake a "first-principles" reconstruction of education.
We spared no expense to introduce complete industrial systems and digital platforms from industry leaders such as Huawei, Midea, and KUKA, with a very clear purpose: to faithfully replicate the cutting-edge "battlefield" and "wisdom" of the industry into the campus. Drive everything with digital technology, enabling online operations, data-driven management, and intelligent decision-making.
We are buying time for students, purchasing valuable practical experience, enabling them to complete the crucial transition from theory to practice before graduation, and personally experience the real logic of future industries.
We are fully committed to building the "Thousand-Course Agent" to ensure that the finest educational resources, like sunlight and water, are accessible to every aspiring student. This initiative is not intended to replace our esteemed teachers, but rather to liberate them from repetitive tasks, enabling them to focus on a more noble mission: inspiring thought, shaping character, and fostering innovation.
We are aware that our pace may appear rapid, even somewhat "urgent," to some observers. Indeed, as technological advancements progress at an unprecedented rate, the cultivation of talent remains a protracted endeavor; while societal expectations continue to rise, the transformation of education persists as a formidable challenge.
In this age of disruption, if you don't move fast enough, you risk becoming the one being disrupted. The greatest danger is to stand still when the tide of change surges.
We must live up to the trust of every family, to the prime of every young person, and above all, to this great era that offers us infinite possibilities.
Dear fellow students: You are the 'natives' of the intelligent era. At Shenyang University of Technology (SUT), we strive to build for you a 'training ground' and 'toolbox' for the future. Forget your academic background and embrace your learning capabilities. The future landscape awaits your hands to paint.
To our esteemed teachers: You are the driving force and soul of this educational transformation. Transitioning from traditional 'transmitters' to 'designers,' 'coaches,' and 'partners' in students' growth is a glorious yet thorny path. Change begins today, in every lesson and every dialogue with students.
To the parents who trust us and to the future members of Shenyang Institute of Technology (SIT): Choosing a university is not only entrusting the future of a child but also placing the hopes of a family. We fully understand the weight of this trust. The core objective of all reforms remains consistent: to ensure that your child not only gains professional expertise but also cultivates the mindset to pioneer and shape the future.
We firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of national and ethnic development, and future-oriented education requires both visionary courage and diligent cultivation.
The greatest truths are simple, and practical action is essential. In 2026, let us continue to pursue our shared mission with sincerity and steadfast commitment, striving forward together for the cause we cherish.
Wishing you progress in the New Year and a promising future.
