Zhang Yang Yang, a doctoral student, torchbearer of the 15th National Games torch relay in the Macao competition zone, and gold medallist of the Beijing Olympic Games shared that, “As a child, I often saw torch relays on television. I have never imagined that one day I would be holding the torch myself. Becoming a torchbearer of the 15th National games is like a dream coming true. At the moment the flame was lit, I felt its warmth and the expectations of perseverance deep inside the heart of everyone. In the future, I will bring this spirit into my work and life, passing on its passion and strength by living up to this precious trust.”

Su Xiao Tong, a student majoring in Master of Science in Environmental Intelligence said, “I am honoured to be one of the MPU members who are present to witness the MPU doctoral student Iao Chon In and other torchbearers carrying the sacred flame. I am so proud and deeply touched. The sacred flame reflects the MPU spirit of pursuit of excellence and perseverance, inspiring all of us. In the future, I will carry on this spirit on the path of research, just like the torch relay, encompassing passion, endurance and responsibility.”
