He said: at the just concluded 96th Academy Awards ceremony, "Oppenheimer" won seven awards, triggered a global heat, for a scientist's conscience. The film's protagonist under great pressure but still adhere to the original heart. Coincidentally, this year's Chinese New Year film "Article 20" has also been widely welcomed.

As an institution that trains world-class leaders, one of Harvard University's mottos is VERITAS, which can be translated as the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of conscience.

At the end of the speech, Guo shared the classic poem of Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism - "Bodhi has no tree, a mirror is not a platform, there is nothing, where to cause dust."
