Prof. Cheng-zong Luo, Director of the law institute at STUST, said in his closing speech that due to the pandemic this year, STUST, as a co-organizer was even more prudent before in holding an actual meeting. Whether one is a lecturer or a guest, it was even more important for him or her to wear a facemask and observe the pandemic prevention regulations in the meeting. However, with the development of the pandemic, he hoped that in the next Law Scholar’s Lecture, everyone would be able to conduct discussions and debates on legal topics without any restrictions on this beautiful campus.
