-Speech at the 20th15th Undergraduate Graduation Ceremony
Ding Lieyun
(June 65438, 2009)
Graduates of 20 15,
Good morning!
Today, the school held a grand graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony for you here to celebrate this important moment in your life. You have successfully completed your college studies through your own efforts. Here, on behalf of all the teachers and students of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you! At the same time, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the teachers and parents. It is because of their hard guidance and careful training that you have grown and changed today.
The word "witness" mentioned by Chen Jiale just now deeply touched me. In college, you experienced the 60th birthday of the school and witnessed the gradual changes and development of the school. You can see that the school ranks among the top 300 universities in the world, and 12 ranks among the top disciplines 1%. You see that the school has the largest school history museum in the country, and the facilities and environment of the student community and canteen are slowly improving; You have seen the "time story" customized by the HUB system for you, and even the seemingly identical roads on campus have their own names.
Similarly, the school has witnessed your growth. The school has seen that you have become practical and rigorous in your professional study and research, firmly established your responsibility in social practice and voluntary service, and increased your experience; The school saw that you gained the first pot of gold in your attempt to start a business and achieved a lot of success in the science and technology competition; The school has seen your tolerance and understanding of the problems and changes encountered in the process of school reform, and your concern and suggestions for school development.
Some students said that the graduation ceremony is the last report of the university; I want to say that the graduation ceremony is still your real bar mitzvah. At this moment, what is fixed in your hearts is not only the memory left by Huazhong University 1000 days and nights, but also the yearning and expectation for a new journey in life. After graduation, some of you continued your studies, some took up various jobs, some started businesses, and some went to places where the motherland needed them most. No matter where you are, your efforts and achievements are the most powerful support for your alma mater; No matter where you are, you must represent the new generation of adults in Central China.
No matter where you are, please be a responsible and self-loving adult in Central China. As contemporary young people, you shoulder many responsibilities. While being responsible for the country and society, please learn to be responsible for yourself first. In recent years in college, I believe you already know what is responsible for yourself: morning exercises and fun running every day are responsible for your health; Chatting with friends and teachers when the heart is blocked is responsible for emotions; Fighting in the classroom and the library is responsible for your study. These are all manifestations of your love for yourself. Only when you know how to love yourself can you learn how to love others. "If you love your lover, you will do your best." Hu Jiwei, who gave his life to save others, is a model of great love in Huazhong University. From last year to now, you have completed nearly 40,000 hours of volunteer service, which shows that Huazhong University cares about society and others. No matter where you are after graduation, I hope you will continue to love yourself. No matter how tired you are, don't leave your health behind. No matter how busy you are, don't neglect your family. No matter how difficult it is, don't forget to do your best for those in need.
No matter where you are, please be a sober and cautious adult in Central China. This era is an era of great changes and pluralistic values. This era has brought you both opportunities and puzzles. Looking back at the history of Huazhong University, Mr. Jiu Si's love for talents made the school break away from convention and develop rapidly. Academician Qiu Fazu made medicine belong to the public with the demeanor of benevolent doctor; Academician Yang Shuzi, with his emphasis on quality and humanistic spirit, set off a huge "humanistic storm" in the utilitarian education view ... countless adults in Central China, with their persistence in the changes of the times, kept awake and bright. "A gentleman is cautious and independent." Caution is thinking, introspection and cultivation. After graduation, no matter where you are, I hope you can resist the temptation in front of fame and fortune, thank you for your achievements, and Do not forget your initiative mind in the pursuit of Excellence.
No matter where you are, please be a unique and creative adult in Central China. At present, China is in the stage of innovation-driven, transformation and upgrading, and the development of China provides you with endless entrepreneurial opportunities. Huazhong University has always been committed to creating a rich ecological environment for innovation and entrepreneurship for students, from Wang Haibing, an alumnus who just spoke, to Wang Zhengyan, a small prescription doctor, and Zhan Mei, the "garbage chief engineer" in Qingdao, who silently contributed in ordinary posts; Yao Xin, founder of PPTV; Yang Yongzhi, developer of dolphin browser; Ke Zunyao, founder of Mi Zhe. , Jin, and are all famous entrepreneurs on Forbes' rich list. Adults in Central China have interpreted the connotation of innovation and entrepreneurship with their own actions, not only to create a career, but also to create youth. Innovation and entrepreneurship are not out of nothing, but need to learn and accumulate; Innovation and entrepreneurship is not a whim, it needs to be honed and persisted. After graduation, no matter where you are, I hope you will surpass yourself in innovation, achieve yourself in entrepreneurship and give back to society in creation.
No matter where you are, please be a noble and ambitious adult in Central China. In the face of the rapid development of the country, Huazhong University has always been aiming at the international academic frontier and the country's major strategic needs in terms of talent training and innovative country building, in order to repay the society and promote development. "Youth is strong, and youth is strong." As a new generation of adults in Central China, you are at the most energetic and dreamy age. The next 30 years will be the most wonderful 30 years in your life, and also the 30 years in which the Chinese dream of witnessing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be gradually realized. After graduation, no matter where you are, I hope you will closely connect your personal ideal with the national destiny, career dream, life dream and Chinese dream, and create a wonderful life in the great practice of realizing the Chinese dream.
Students, tomorrow, you will leave the beautiful Yuyuan Garden and bid farewell to your college days. No matter where you are, please don't forget the exclusive memory left by Huazhong University. No matter where you are, please don't forget that your alma mater has been paying attention to and supporting you. * said: "Looking ahead, the younger generation in our country will certainly make great achievements and will make great achievements." You are in this era of great change, please shoulder the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation and national prosperity. Facing the new beginning of life, no matter where you are, please be an adult in Central China who is worthy of yourself and the times. Huazhong University will always be your strong backing.
