Good morning/afternoon/evening, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen!Welcome to the Wuhan University of Science and Technology History Museum.I am highly honored to be your guide, and would be very pleased to help you to get to know about how our university has developed into what it is now.This museum has 5 halls, and we are now in the Introduction Hall.This Hall is to illustrate the pedagogical ideas we uphold and the educational philosophy we follow.If you look straight ahead, we can see our university Logo on the ceiling;the white part of this logo is in the shape of a boat, which is sailing on the blue sea.This logo indicates the development of our university will be smooth and swift.On the right, it is a brief sketch of the historical development of our university, together with our philosophy of schooling;our university has a profound history which spans more than 100 years.And the university anthem is on the left.Now we will present you this anthem in Chinese.(扬子江边 黄家湖畔)Our university motto is here: “Virtue, Erudition, Practicality and Steadine”.These exhibitions are to demonstrate our university’s strong aociation with the iron and steel industry and the spirit of our university, which has been summarized as “Perseverance in hardships, readine for duty, endeavor for excellence, and consistency in words and deeds”.Now, would you please follow me to the second section? There, we shall see the “incubation years” of our university.Wuhan University of Science and Technology, or WUST, dates back to the Hubei gongyi xuetang(Hubei Technical Institute)in 1898 founded by Zhang Zhidong(1837-1909), governor general of Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces in the late Qing Dynasty.This is Governor Zhang and his application document to the Emperor for approval of the school founding.Hubei Technical School was one of the earliest of its kind in China offering technical education, and it marks the first page of our University.Its campus at that time was located in today’s Wuchang District, which is here on the map, about 15 kilometers away from here.The tile here was used for the construction of Hubei Technical School, it has also been awarded as the national cultural relic.There are all together 26 items in this museum have won this title.Due to historical reasons, Hubei Technical School moved its campus several times and changed its name more than once.During this period, many well-known scientists and scholars taught in the School, including Li Siguang, a geologist;among its famous students were Zhao Shimei, the maker of the revolutionary flag in the Wuchang Uprising of the 1911 Revolution;there are other profeors being the teachers of our university.Bao Ding, an architect;He Lvting, a musician;and Pan Liangru, a scientist.In the summer of 1938, when the invading Japanese army approached to Wuhan, for the safety of its teachers and students, Hubei Technical School merged with other schools and became the Advanced Industry Branch School of Hubei United School, which moved first to western Hubei, later to Sichuan, and finally settled in Enshi Prefecture of Hubei Province.And this is the anthem of Hubei United School, the lyrics of which reflects the students and teachers’ concerns about the war and their hope for the future.As the Anti-Japanese War came to the end, the School moved back to Wuhan in 1946.Starting from scratch, it began the reconstruction work, under the new name of the Provincial Hanyang Vocational School of Advanced Industry.These pictures show the students conducting experiments and extracurricular activities.The items in this showcase are the textbooks, examination papers, and graduation papers of students at that time.The third part of the exhibitions is devoted to the years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.After the liberation of Wuhan in 1949, the School changed its name to Wuchang Advanced Industrial School.It was one of the top four advanced schools in the country at that time.From these pictures, you might get a general idea of what the School was like.Please have a look at these photo, they were shot during the seions of the National People’s Congre.The year 1958 saw immense efforts of the Chinese government in pushing forward the development of the metallurgical industry.To answer the need of more engineers and technicians in the field of iron and steel, the then Ministry of Metallurgical Industry decided to set up Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute on the basis of Wuchang Advanced Industrial School and by relying on the resources of Wuhan Iron and Steel Company.This is a list of the names of university leaders throughout those years.The picture here shows Chairman Mao Zedong, accompanied by Li Yiqing, the first President of our University and the General Manager of Wuhan Iron and Steel Company on an inspection tour of Wuhan Iron and Steel Company in 1958.The other two pictures show Prof.Tao Hanying, a teacher of our University, did interpretation for Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Central Committee of the CPC, and Zhu De, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congre, in their meetings with the Soviet experts.The newly-established Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute inherited the glorious tradition of Hubei Technical School and Wuchang Advanced Industrial School, and surpaed the two in both teaching and research.It streed the importance of cooperating with enterprises, and these pictures show teachers helping enterprises solve technical problems.In 1986, a number of graduates of Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute rode bikes to take office in Xinjiang Iron and Steel Company.The whole journey took almost 40 days and covered 4000miles.Now we have entered the Time Corridor of this museum, where we shall witne the transition of our university to the modern period.Panels here show the other two origins of our unisersity.That is Wuhan Junior College of Construction which was founded in 1954, and Wuhan Junior Medical College of Metallurgical Industry which was founded in 1960.In 1995, Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute, Wuhan Junior College of Construction, and Wuhan Junior Medical College of Metallurgical Industry merged into Wuhan University of Metallurgical Science and Technology.In 1999, the University was renamed again, this time into Wuhan University of Science and Technology, which marked a new page in the university’s history.The fourth section is dedicated to the modern period, and here you will see some of the remarkable achievements of our university.These pictures were taken when senior leaders of the Central Government or the CPC visited our university.We should say that the achievements we have made in the past years should be largely attributed to the support we have received from various levels of government.Disciplinary construction has been the focus of our university work, and consequently this is the field which we have made most remarkable accomplishments in.At present, we have: 6 post-doctoral research stations;20 doctoral degree programs;96 master’s degree programs colleges which offer 73 bachelor’s degree programs;

WUST claims a key discipline under incubation accredited by the central government, and 27 accredited by Hubei Province.It is also the home of

 1 national key laboratory under incubation, 2 key laboratories accredited by the Ministry of Education, and 8 accredited by Hubei Province,  3 humanities and social sciences research bases
