摘要

Honorable Council members of the DHS, Chairs of Delegations, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:On behalf of the Chinese host, I sincerely and warmly welcome you to Beijing and the 22 nd International Congress of the History of Science. To my knowledge, in the 76 years of its history, this is only the second time that the Congress is being held in the Far East, and is also the second time the Congress is meeting in a developing country. For both of these reasons, we are deeply honored that you are here, and we appreciate the tremendous responsibility that comes with hosting the 22 nd International Congress of the History of Science.
