8. Vision

Strategic Positioning

Leveraging Guangming Campus as our growthanchor, we are pursuing three interconnected objectives:

Key revisions for internationalreadability:

Eliminated redundant "DepartmentHonors" preamble — 4 society roles converted to clean table;teaching, editorial, and award distinctions separated as distinct category.

Leadership timeline created — Threeformer directors presented chronologically rather than as undifferentiatedlist; "making great contributions" replaced with active "establishedfoundational strengths."

Technology innovation highlighted — MREachievement (2018) and Digital Imaging Center (2023) presented as milestonetable with case volume and network membership, replacing buried mid-textmention.

Research priorities clarified — "Mechanism of acupuncture effect" specified as neuroimagingcorrelates for international audience unfamiliar with TCM terminology.

Equipment completely restructured — Original equipment list (8 CT, 4 MR, 1 PET-CT + additional systems) reorganizedinto modality table with specific high-end systems named, replacing dense proseparagraph.

Collaboration section elevated — Threerecruited teams presented in structured table with institutions and leaders,replacing successively-introduced narrative.

Research output consolidated — Decadesummary unified in single metrics table, eliminating repetitive "developedrapidly" framing.

Vision restructured — Abstract future narrative converted into three strategic pillars with table,replacing "take Guangming Campus as fulcrum" metaphor with direct"growth anchor" positioning.

Active voicethroughout — "The business volume has grown steadily year by year" → "Annual throughput: ~¥100 million"; "continuouslyempower the high-quality development of TCM" → "continuous empowerment of high-quality TCM development."
