Theme: 探奥索隐｜Into the unknown

As the renowned naturalist and French novelist Zola once said, "The full meaning of life lies in the endless exploration of unknown things, in the continuous addition of more knowledge." From the moment ancient humans made fire by drilling wood, all exploration of the unknown stems from the longing for a better life. Every progress and development we have experienced has benefited from our predecessors' brave exploration of the unknown.

2023 is a new beginning and we need more courage and strength than ever to explore the unknown. We believe in the power of exploration!

Into the unknown

If you are exploring the unknown and struggling to move forward.
If you are forging ahead and breaking through the clouds and rain.
Whether you are an explorer of society and humanities,
Or an explorer of technology and art, or an explorer of history and culture······

Join us for the spirit, experience, and unparalleled courage to explore the unknown. We have the story that needs to be heard in 2023! Ideas worth spreading～
