Faculty, students, alumni, and friends:
As the Year of the Horse approaches,
We extend our warmest greetings and wishes
to Nanjing University community around the world
and to all who care about and support our development.
Looking back on the past year,
we pressed ahead with determination.
"Forging Ahead Initiative" continued to deepen,
collaborative research advanced steadily,
interdisciplinary creativity gained momentum,
and our commitment to nurturing talent flourished.
Looking to the year ahead,
new horizons unfold.
"15th Five-Year Plan" blueprint taking shape,
we will move forward with confidence and resolve,
grounded in steady progress, and bold in vision.
Standing at new starting point,
let us move ahead together
with aspiration, resilience, and ambition
to write the next splendid chapter of Nanjing University.
May the New Year bring prosperity, success and a bright future to all.
