At nine o'clock, the award ceremony officially began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Xiangyang, Dean of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong Chinese, wore a bachelor's gown and a bachelor's hat and walked to the rostrum of the auditorium.

He held a gilded bookmark in his hand, and when he stood in front of the podium on the right side of the rostrum, he smiled and said loudly to the already full audience: "I declare that the ceremony of conferring the degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa, on Mr. Barkin!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into warm applause, and the clicks of flashes and cameras were endless.

After the applause stopped, Wang Xiangyang spread out the gilded calligraphy in his hand and read the praise into the microphone with emotion: "Mr. Ba Jin is a strong athlete of China's new literary movement, and he has been unremitting in creating for life and ideals for 60 years, and his works are very infectious, which has a great relationship with his insistence on 'telling the truth' writing attitude, which is very worthy of our learning...... The Chinese University of Hong Kong confers upon Ba Jin the degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa, in recognition of his great contributions to the Chinese New Literature Movement over the past 60 years, in recognition of his moral courage and spirit of seeking knowledge and truth, and in recognition of his powerful appeal to the people of Chinese to pursue progress in this turbulent century. ”

The praise of nearly 1,000 words was repeatedly interrupted by applause from the audience.

As written in the testimonial, Hong Kong people not only love Mr. Ba Jin's works, but are also deeply attracted by the personality of the old man.

When Wang Xiangyang said that he would confer an honorary doctorate of literature on Ba Jin, the applause and cheers finally reached the highest point.

The whole auditorium roared, boiled, and noisy, and many people got up from their chairs excitedly, and it really meant to them to be able to participate in such a ceremony. Whether it is Hong Kong's primary school textbooks, secondary school textbooks, or even university Chinese textbooks, you can see the works of the elderly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have grown up under the influence of the elderly.

After Wang Xiangyang stepped down, several representatives from the Chinese University of Hong Kong took the stage to recite several of Ba Jin's articles, and each reading aloud could cause huge applause. When several college students recited Ba Jin's works selected from Hong Kong language textbooks, many people present couldn't help but recite them affectionately along with these college students.

"Stars", "Hong Kong Night", "Bird's Paradise", "Poem of the Machine", "Lamp" ...... These works are all things that they have learned and memorized, and they have brought them the strength to forge ahead and the confidence to pursue the light.

"I love lights like this. The glimmer of a few lamps or even a lamp cannot illuminate the darkness, but it can also bring a little courage and warmth to some sleepless people on cold nights......"

Govin was already stunned, he was a little at a loss, he only felt trembling all over his body, and tears were flowing down unconsciously.

It's exciting, it's exciting!

In the past, many Hong Kong people said to themselves that he liked Ba Jin, and when Hong Kong people knew that they were Ba Jin's disciples, it caused a great sensation, and he could feel that Ba Lao had a high status and influence in Hong Kong. But only at this moment, in this occasion with Hong Kong students, citizens from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and well-known people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, listening to this recitation, did he really realize what kind of charm Ba Jin has and what this name represents!

Govin is deeply proud!

Govin is proud of Palao!

At this moment, Govin knew that it was worthwhile for the dying master to overcome physical and mental hardships and create! And only such vigorous, enthusiastic and immortal works created by the old man can be loved and respected by the majority of overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots!

In this life, I must be as good as Ba Lao, so as to live up to Ba Lao's expectations!

Flusteredly wiping away the tears from his face, Govin took a deep breath.

On the right side of the rostrum, Ni Kuang and the pro-British faction looked as if they had eaten, and their faces were extremely ugly.

The entire auditorium was clapping and cheering, only a few of them were lazily pretending. Ni Kuang, Councilor Li and the others looked at each other, and they didn't feel that the other party was hateful for a while.

After the students' recitation, Li Zhuomin, who was also dressed in a bachelor's uniform and hat, came to the stage, followed by two ceremonies.

Li Zhuomin, who was standing behind the podium, first stretched out his hand to signal the audience to be quiet, and after the auditorium was quiet, he smiled and said into the microphone: "Mr. Ba Jin is unable to receive the degree in person due to physical reasons, and now we have asked Mr. Ba Jin's disciple Mr. Gowen to come to the stage to receive the degree certificate on behalf of Mr. Ba Jin!" ”

It was only then that most of the people present knew that it was Govin who was collecting the certificate on behalf of Ba Jin today, and the auditorium burst into applause again, and the reporters gathered around the audience also hurriedly turned around to take pictures of Govin who was sitting in the first row.

Govin got up from his chair, walked up to the rostrum with solemn steps, came to Li Zhuomin's side, shook hands, and received the honorary doctorate certificate from Li Zhuomin's hand.

The moment Govern's hands touched the gilt certificate, the applause, the sound of photographs, and shouts from the audience were deafening.

After Govin received the certificate, Li Zhuomin personally put on the bachelor's uniform and bachelor's hat that he was holding in the manner, and then slowly retreated to the podium, shouted loudly at the microphone: "Next, I would like to invite Govin to give an award speech, everyone is welcome!" ”

After shaking hands with Govin again, Lee Zhuomin left the rostrum, which he left to Govine.

Standing in front of the podium on the right side of the rostrum, Govin saw Ni Kuang and the pro-British parliamentarians sitting at the front on the right side at first sight. Govin ignored them, then turned his gaze to the center of the auditorium.

The old Mr. Ai Qing, who was not smiling, had a relieved smile on his face at the moment, and he was looking at himself gently.

Govyn nodded, then surveyed everyone present.

He saw a lot of famous people in Hong Kong, including the patriarchs of several major business families in Hong Kong, Li, Huo, and Bao that he met on the first day of his visit to Hong Kong, the beautiful Ziye and several rich second generations he met when he first arrived in Hong Kong to attend the dinner, the cultural celebrities he met at Jin Yong's house, and the people he met one after another these days, as well as those Hong Kong citizens and students from all walks of life who simply came to congratulate Ba Lao.

No matter who it is, whether it is famous or not, everyone is staring at them with expectant eyes at this moment.

Govyn took a deep breath, and he secretly told himself that he must finish this battle perfectly.

Then he smiled and said the first sentence of his speech, which was a self-mockery.

"I remember that there is an idiom in China called Mu Monkey and Crown, in fact, I feel like a monkey now, after all, I am not Mr. Ba Jin, and this dress on my body is not a ...... granted to me"
