The following individuals attended the event: Zhang Dalin, Deputy Secretary of the University Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee; Zhang Junyan, Director of the Faculty Affairs Department; Wang Lihong, Deputy Director of the Publicity Department; Gao Shuang, discipline inspector from the Discipline Inspection Committee Office and the Supervision and Inspection Office; Wang Jing, Section Chief of the Management Section of the Student Affairs Department; Liu Lu, Deputy Secretary of the University Youth League Committee; Qin Xing, alumnus of the Mathematics Class of 1999 and CEO of Beijing Xinlian Yuntong Technology Co., Ltd.; Aixinjueluo Chuan, alumnus of the Mathematics Class of 2003 and CEO of Beijing Innovative Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd.; Wang Jingwei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch, Discipline Inspection Committee Member, and Chairman of the Trade Union of China Construction Dacheng Green Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.; Niu Heng, Party Committee Secretary of the School of Mathematics and Physics; Wu Yuan, Dean of the school; as well as all members of the leadership team. Representatives from the college's faculty and students gathered together to witness this moment of honor. The ceremony was simultaneously broadcast via live online streaming.

As the event commenced, the college's original play "Gu Jinghui" premiered, showcasing how, over eighty years ago, a woman used chalk to write the first formula of Chinese physics on a blackboard; how she led young faculty members at Beijing Institute of Steel Technology to establish a physics teaching and research office; and how, guided by the principle that "Physics knows no borders, yet its spirit endures," she inscribed the steadfast commitment of her life—this was Ms.Gu Jinghui, China's first female doctoral graduate in physics, a pioneer of modern physics, and the founding figure of physics at our institution. We hope that all students of mathematics and physics will remember Mr.Gu's spirit of scientific research serving the nation, always uphold the college motto— "Upholding Virtue to Promote Talent, Seeking Truth and Embracing Innovation" —and translate their academic achievements into contributions for our motherland.

The conference opened with an inspiring video review of honors, highlighting the outstanding achievements of the mathematics and physics students over the past year in areas such as Party building, academia, practical applications, and cultural and sports activities, while showcasing the college's fruitful results—guided by its commitment to laying a solid foundation in mathematics and physics and centered on talent cultivation.

Wu Yuan read out the 2025 Student Commendation Announcement and extended congratulations to all the outstanding collectives and individuals honored. In 2025, the college will continue to focus on the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, vigorously promote the spirit of educators, implement the distinctive "Steel Bones" educational model for the new era, and remain committed to cultivating talents for the Party and the nation, striving to write a new chapter on our new journey in the new era. We hope that the award-winning students will continue to let their dreams drive them forward and write their own brilliant chapters of success.

She expressed her hope that students would, in their future social practice endeavors, transform their reflections into profound insights, apply their acquired knowledge to real-world situations, hone their capabilities through grassroots practice, and ultimately contribute the vitality of their youth to society.

In the "Youthful Brilliance, Striving for Excellence" session, Gao Shuang and Wang Jing presented awards to representatives of award winners, including the first-prize recipients of the "Youth Innovation Beijing" 2025 "Challenge Cup" Capital University Students' Extracurricular Academic and Scientific Works Competition, recognizing their vibrant youthful spirit and encouraging them to overcome challenges and reach new heights!

Yu Jingui, a first-prize winner of the National Undergraduate Physics Experiment Competition, shared his experiences leading his team in participating in the competition. He called upon students to consistently apply "innovative thinking to address the challenges of our era," striving to become proactive practitioners of innovation, which resonated strongly with the faculty and students present.

There is a group of people who, with the voice of youth, embark on a contemporary pledge alongside their motherland; with the spirit of unity, they compose a march of progress from campus to public square! They transform their sweat into musical notes, presenting a flawless tribute through flawless performance! Through their songs, they carry forward the revolutionary spirit, and with their sense of responsibility, they demonstrate the patriotic devotion of the youth at the University of Science and Technology of Beijing! During the special honors segment, Zhang Dalin presented awards to student representatives of the University of Science and Technology of Beijing choir in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
