General and profound knowledge is the source of innovation, and interdisciplinary and accessible aesthetic consciousness is also indispensable for innovation. Academic research is no easy job, and therefore requires a peaceful state of mind, prudence, and practical work. Only in this way can achievements be made in creation and innovation.
In addition to the passion for academic research, a heart as pure as the glass and perseverance are also needed.
