Students’ messages

Xiong Xiao, Information Science Department of China Pharmaceutical University
I have spent seven years in China Pharmaceutical University, where a lot of interesting things happened, of which what impressed me most is my understanding of the importance of team work, which is required from the fundamental drug design to drug development.
Now in my third year as a graduate student, I have landed my first job in my life and will leave my university after the end of the next semester to work. I opt to return to hometown, where I could spend time with my parents and friends since childhood who would love back me up during my work.

Jiang Zhizhe, Information Management Department of China Pharmaceutical University
To me, what I’ve learnt most during my four years’ journey in university is to understand the significance of how to better interact with people, whereas I could learn a lot knowledge and lessons as well as the world’s development and what is required to better fit in the fast-faced society. Whether working in the Youth League Committee, or during my own school life, people skills are of high importance to me. I also wish to make certain progress in interpersonal skills in the coming 5 to 10 years when I go to work after graduation, and also hope that progress could render my life and learning more smooth through my own relationship-building efforts. 

Lin Fangzhen, Traditional Chinese Medicine Resources and Development Department of China Pharmaceutical University
In August 2011, I headed for Nanjing alone from Fujian, rosy, with many dreams in mind. I believe every day we should spare no efforts to come nearer to our dreams, the very motto of mine which drives me through till I am now recommended to study here at Peking Union Medical College for my doctoral degree. In the 5 years to come, I will be fully devoted to scientific research learning. After graduation, I plan to work as an educator in a university closest to my home, so I could spend more time with my family.
Soon will come the graduation, and I am very grateful for my university, for my parents, for their support. Also I would like to thank my university friends, for their friendships and company.
