She affirmed the hard work and progress made by the students, and was proud of the good results achieved by the students in various competitions and activities. She pointed out: Language is a tool, and culturei has no borders. I sincerely hope that everyone will continue to learn Chinese well, use Chinese well, and have an insight and structure facing the world, and become a "Chinese bridge" between China and their motherland. I look forward to and welcome students to come to DSU in the future and experience the charm of Chinese on the beautiful campus.

Dawai is the eternal home of graduates. I hope that the international students cultivated by our school can make full use of the knowledge they have learned in the future and contribute to friendly exchanges between countries. (Wang Jiaping)
