The Congress commenced with the solemn and sonorous chorus of the national anthem by the delegation.

Then Branch Trade Union Chairman Zhao Haihong made his working report titled “Achieve good results repeatedly by offering heartfelt services to and being friends with faculty members” on behalf of the previous Trade Union Committee of the School. Zhao’s report is divided into three parts, that is Attention of the Party and the administration, Active Participation of the Faculty, and Promoting the Service Capacity of the Trade Union.

He noted that both the University and the School are now in an important period of strategic opportunity for their reform and development. In a historic new era shortly delineated by the 19th National Congress of the CPC, each delegate to the School Faculty and Trade Union Congress should shoulder more important responsibilities and take on more arduous tasks. We are expected to earnestly perform our duties as delegates to offer our proposals and suggestions with the attitude of committed members and make more contributions to the construction of the University and the School concertedly and collectively.
The Congress concluded with the chorus of “Union Is Power” by the delegation.
