To gain a deeper understanding of the university’s graduate education history and to inherit and promote the Harbin Military Engineering Institute spirit, the School of Foreign Languages recently organized a visit to the “Chronicle of Major Events in 70 Years of Graduate Education” exhibition. Through a rich collection of photographs and archival materials, the exhibition systematically presented the development and outstanding achievements of the university’s graduate education across three historical stages—Harbin Military Engineering Institute, Harbin Ship Engineering Institute, and Harbin Engineering University—since its founding in 1955.

The exhibition not only showcased the enduring inheritance of the Harbin Military Engineering Institute spirit across different eras but also vividly reenacted the dedication and perseverance of generations of HEU people who have contributed to national defense and upheld the mission of education. During the visit, students were deeply inspired, expressing that the experience helped them gain a more profound understanding of the core values of the Harbin Military Engineering Institute spirit—absolute loyalty, service to the military, pioneering courage, academic rigor, perseverance, and confident openness.

Wang Shuo, a postgraduate student majoring in Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, remarked that as a member of Harbin Engineering University, one should carry forward this spiritual strength, remain diligent in scientific research and academic exploration, and contribute to the university’s disciplinary development.

Lian Pengsen, a student majoring in Russian Language and Literature, also shared his excitement after visiting the exhibition. He said that the exhibition deepened his understanding of the university’s mission and inspired him to devote himself to study and research with even greater determination.
