In his remarks, he encouraged students to keep pursuing better selves and all the faculty and students to make full use of the College as a platform to build a Teacher-Student Shared Community.

Yisheng Smart College is named after Prof. Zheng Tianting's courtesy name, Yisheng, who is the late great historian at Nankai University. The naming not only pays a tribute to Prof. Zheng, but also fosters students' determination to pursue their career goals and the strength to overcome difficulties on their way.
