Ji Junmin’s Speech

In his speech, Ji Junmin expressed his deep expectations for the development of alumni in Shaanxi, encouraging everyone to continue promoting the Tsinghua spirit, serve their positions and local communities, and contribute to the energy, power, and technological innovation sectors. He reviewed the department’s history of cultivating a large number of outstanding talents for the nation, especially praising alumni rooted in the Northwest for their significant contributions to regional energy development. He outlined three hopes for the newly established Electrical Engineering Professional Committee: to serve as a “connector” that unites professional strength and promotes deep integration; to act as a “think tank” and “power source” serving national strategies and regional development; and to function as a “service station” and “legacy carrier” that supports alumni growth and passes on the Tsinghua spirit.
