“Daring to be the first is the pioneering spirit of entrepreneurs, and it is also the spirit and courage of Yantai University. Caring for one’s family and country is a sentiment that every young student and every Chinese citizen must have.” On the morning of April 16th, at the launch ceremony of the "Strive for a Trillion New Journey to Promote the Integrated Development of Government, Schools and Enterprises" series of activities and the "Dialogue with Famous Enterprises" lecture jointly held by Yantai University and Yantai Federation of Industry and Commerce, Chairman of Dawn Group, President, and Dean of Dawn Business School, Yu Xiaoning gave a report on the theme of "Dare to be the first to set the trend, and strive for the future with family and country in mind".

The event aimed to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and promote the in-depth integrated development of "education chain, talent chain, industry chain and innovation chain". Hao Shuguang, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of Yantai University, Hu Weining, deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the Yantai Municipal Party Committee and Party Secretary of the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce, relevant persons in charge of Dawn Group, heads of various scientific research teams of Yantai University, young doctors, master's students, undergraduates, and representatives of teachers and students from Ludong University, Shandong Technology and Business University, Binzhou Medical University, Shandong Vocational College and other universities in Yantai attended the event.

Who are you? where are you going? As the launch guest of the event and the first guest speaker of the "Dialogue with Famous Enterprises" lecture, Chairman Yu Xiaoning combined his own entrepreneurial experience to share management experience and life insights with everyone. "Thirty-three years ago, I was 24 years old. I was about the same age as you. I was just as energetic and eager to try with full of dreams." He encouraged college students to inspire their youth with a fighting attitude, live up to the times, and achieve a brilliant life.

Choosing a companion is more important than hard work, and "who you are traveling with" is more important than the destination you will strive for. Chairman Yu Xiaoning said that for more than 30 years, Dawn had been committed to building a community of interests, a community of cause, and a community of destiny. It allows the people with both ability and political integrity, the people with real talents and practical knowledge, and the people with innovative spirit to "be successful". “We welcome outstanding students to join Dawn, and let us join hands, shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart to achieve ‘dance, build a, and share together’.”

What kind of self do you want to be?"The most important thing in a person's life is determination, which is to plan and position one's life." Chairman Yu Xiaoning warned young students that when they have goals and directions, they must cultivate themselves. Instead of complaining about the world, it is better to change yourself, take care of your own heart, and do your own things well. He suggested that everyone should use the Red Boat Spirit, Yan'an Spirit, Craftsman Spirit and Sacrifice Spirit to empower themselves and move forward bravely towards a better future.

Before the lecture started, leaders and guests participating in the event visited the History Museum of Yantai University and attended the launch ceremony of the event. According to reports, the Yantai Federation of Industry and Commerce has innovatively launched a series of lectures on "Dialogue with Famous Enterprises" on the basis of the regular "School-Enterprise Cooperation Express" activity, focusing on inviting Yantai's well-known private entrepreneurs, listed company executives, technical backbones, and labor models to universities in Yantai to build a two-way choice bridge between students in Yantai and private enterprises, so that more talents can stay in Yantai and help the high-quality economic development.
