Inherit the spirit of May Fourth and compete for a new track of green technology

The May Fourth Movement in 1919, with the spiritual core of "patriotism, progress, democracy and science", awakened the awakening and responsibility of Chinese youth. Today, 106 years later, this spirit is still surging - the 19th "Haiwu Cup" China Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry College Student Science and Technology Competition sponsored by the China Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association and the Teaching Guidance Subcommittee of Building Environment and Energy Application Engineering in Colleges and Universities of the Ministry of Education was officially launched. This event with the theme of "Digital Intelligence and Green Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology" is the most vivid interpretation of the May Fourth spirit of young people in the new era: responding to the propositions of the times with innovation and helping the "double carbon" goal with science and technology.

Use competition as a medium: let youth wisdom resonate with the future of the industry

Under the background of the national strategy of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the refrigeration and air conditioning industry is facing the challenge of green and intelligent transformation and upgrading. This competition focuses on three core directions:

• Technological innovation: encourage breaking through the boundaries of traditional technologies and explore low-energy, energy-efficient refrigeration and air conditioning solutions;
• Digital intelligence integration: combine AI, Internet of Things and other technologies to promote the intelligent development of the industry;
• Green practice: From materials, systems to energy utilization, the concept of sustainable development is practiced throughout the chain.

The competition has built an integrated platform of "display + practice + industry" for college students across the country:

✅ Top stage: in-depth interaction with industry experts and Haiwu enterprises, excellent projects are expected to be incubated;

✅ Practical training: through case design, technical defense and other links, temper students' ability to solve practical problems;

✅ Career assistance: Those with excellent performance will receive internship opportunities in famous companies and lock in industry resources in advance.

Footnote to the new era of the May Fourth spirit: Strivers are young

"Youth is like early spring, like the rising sun, like the budding of a hundred flowers." A hundred years ago, the May Fourth pioneers promoted social progress with scientific enlightenment; today, young students are leading industrial transformation with scientific and technological innovation. This competition is not only a competition of technology, but also a relay of the mission of youth——

• Pay tribute to labor with "hard work": water innovative achievements with sweat and practice the May Fourth tradition of "labor creates value";
• Respond to the times with "green": integrate personal ideals into the national "dual carbon" strategy to show the global vision of contemporary youth.
