Chapter 161: Graduation Ceremony

In a blink of an eye, Cheng Xiong's four years of college passed quickly. People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together.

The joys and sorrows of the 210 dormitory soon ended, and everyone in the dormitory sat together to eat and drink. Because graduation is about to begin, people start to make a fuss. After all, it's senior year, and people give gifts to each other at that time, and they are all poor college students at that time, so they don't have anything to give each other, so they can only go to the stationery store to buy some pens, notebooks and other things. These things in that era can already represent a good classmate relationship, everyone knows that each other is not rich, but the courtesy is light and affectionate. In particular, Boss Huang gave the sixth child a watch, which was something that was unimaginable in the class at that time.

I took graduation photos, and at that time, people did not have doctoral hats or bachelor's gowns after graduation, and some only had simple and clean clothes. The boys' fashionable blue-gray suits, the girls' fashionable long dresses, and handsome faces, they are so simple and energetic. Cheng Xiong's seven people in the same dormitory stood in the last row, their faces showing their sunniest and most brilliant appearances.

"Everyone looks at me and shouts 'eggplant'!"

"Eggplant ......"

Just listened to the "click", and the youngest and most beautiful appearance of the people in that class was frozen in this way. Cheng Xiong that year, with long hair, a thin face and those bright eyes, also stayed in that moment.

After taking a graduation photo, it is the graduation ceremony, which is held on the playground. There are a lot of people from all departments, about 1,500 people. The graduation ceremony that year was presided over by the president of the university, and I saw that the president was dressed very decently, in a pitch-black suit, wearing a white shirt and a red tie.

Although the principal is older, he looks like a child, but his voice is so loud.

"Distinguished guests, teachers, dear students, good morning!"

As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause rang out from the audience.

"Three years ago, we were here as a curtain and a platform to welcome the 90th class students of Linhai University of Land and Resources. Today, we are celebrating with the local community again with the graduation ceremony of the 90th graduate students of Linhai Land University here, witnessing more than 1,500 students completing their studies and starting a new journey in life. Here, on behalf of the school and all the faculty and staff, I would like to express my warmest congratulations to all the graduating students on their successful completion of their studies! ”

There was another thunderous round of applause......

"Students, when you go out into society. When I miss my alma mater, I also think of me as an old man. ”

The principal's humorous words made the audience laugh.

"The happiest time of the year is July, and the most grateful is June. After so many years, I have long been accustomed to July, and I have been used to June, but now that I stand here, I realize that I am still not used to waving goodbye to you! This may be the last time I will see many of you, and it reminds me of the bits and pieces of you in the past four years."

"In the past four years, I have seen that some of you have been sitting in the library for four years, and I have to ask him about some knowledge. In the past four years, I have seen that some of you can find so many no-man's corners for falling in love in such a narrow campus, falling in love with each other, talking to each other, and talking freely about ideals and the future."

Speaking of which, Cheng Xiong glanced at Boss Huang and Sixth, how much he wanted to know what Boss Huang and Sixth thought at that time? Whether it is really let go, or is it hidden in the heart, Chengxiong does not know.

"In the past four years, no matter what you have experienced, you have grown, the nourishment of knowledge, the spread of friendship, and the care of teachers, so that you are a little less young and frivolous, and a little more mature and steady. Students, from now on, you will leave the campus and the protection of the world and plunge into the ocean of the big society. In the future, for you, the ideal will encounter reality, the green shade on the bank of the Xiaoyue River may no longer be there, you will encounter difficulties in life, career difficulties, all kinds of competition is coming, and the pressure is great. However, I believe that these difficulties in life will soon be overcome and dissipated as your life stabilizes, your work unfolds, and your experience accumulates. I believe that the students of Linhai University of Land and Resources have such strength! ”

At this point, there was another round of applause from the audience......

The principal continued: "But then the society you are going to go to is in many corners deconstructed by entertainment, filled with lust and temptation. You will see obvious injustices, temptations, and occasional pains. All this will corrupt your spirituality, torture your soul, and shake your faith. What you have today is likely to be taken away and given up by yourselves. At that time, you will face unprecedented spiritual difficulties and spiritual deprivation, and this is what will really haunt you for the rest of your life and plunge you into the swamp of misery and misfortune. Your alma mater is afraid that you will sink, and the teachers are worried about you."

As soon as this sentence fell, the audience was silent. Yes, in the years when the reform and opening up has only been more than ten years, who knows what will happen in the future? Novelties from outside fill the whole Chinese society, both good and bad. The best and the worst......

Just when the students were quiet, the president spoke again: "Students, as students of Linhai University of Land and Resources (hereinafter referred to as the University of Land and Resources), you have been here for four years, and you have been exposed to the spirit, tradition and culture of the University. In the future, no matter where you are or what position you hold, I hope that you will cherish the mark of the University in your hearts. The first great seal of the land that you want to treasure is the splendor of humanity! ”

All the eyes of the students looked at the old principal on the stage, receiving the complaint of an old man and the baptism of the soul given by a wise man.

"In the future, when you see that human morality is shaking, social conscience is fading, morality is often eroding, and money and power are arrogant, please do not forget that you and I have been and have been pursuing civilization, order and progress, and you and I have been and have been pursuing the defense of dignity, the desire for freedom, and the protection of rights. These forces that push the wheels of mankind forward are actually the lifeblood of your and my life's work, and they are also the propositions that you and I ask all day long. For the students of the University of Homeland, you have a heavier responsibility, you will be the founder and guardian of the future, you have an unshirkable responsibility for this mission, your shoulders must be ready, you will be sore, you will be tired, and you will eventually be happy. As the German philosopher Fichte put it in his book On the Mission of the Scholar: "You are all the best elements, and if the best elements have lost their strength, then what can they be used to inspire?" Therefore, my alma mater hopes that you will not forget your original intention, guard the most tenacious rock of "fairness and justice" in your heart, and do not let the worldly dross hurt the most cherished value in your life. This is not only a will, but also a realm, a wisdom that distances itself from its surroundings and a belief that transcends earthly encounters. ”

The thunderous applause rang out again, and some students even cried excitedly!

"Students, when you go out from the National Land University, you are not nothing, but full of wealth. These wealth are the wealth of character, the wealth of knowledge, the wealth of ability, the wealth of wisdom and the wealth of spirit. These riches are the great mark of the land on you. The care for the brilliance of human nature, the unremitting pursuit of struggle, and the adherence to the belief in the rule of law are important parts of these wealth. Now that you've graduated, you can sell your textbooks, throw down torn sheets, smash old kettles, break guitar strings, and sing parting songs, but I want you to cherish the mark of the Nation and carry it with you for the rest of your life. Because these marks are the starting axes for you to resist all storms, face the problems of the world, and question the meaning of life; It is the red ribbon that connects you with the seven words of 'Linhai University of Land and Resources', and it is the alma mater's 'loyalty to the country engraved on your back', which will give you a foundation in your spirit, a source in your heart, and a place in your emotions. If you don't insist on and care for it, you will be worthy of being a 'native of the land for a lifetime', and if you cherish and cherish it in your heart, wherever you are, you will be a great land."

Applause, endless applause......

'Classmates!' Cluster one for another, lonely and thousands of miles of march. "Treasure the mark of the University for life, this is all that your alma mater has given you, and it will eventually become your classmates who give back, you will always be the 'flowers' of your alma mater, you will always be the 'youth' of your alma mater, I sincerely wish you a happy and safe life!" Good luck! ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

……

is worthy of the old principal, and his speech is really level! Truth, mantra. I don't know how many souls will be spared in the future, but they will be deeply baptized because of the principal's speech, and they will benefit from it for the rest of their lives. All the students stood up, and the applause was deafening for a long time.

Later, Chengxiong still remembers that he sobbed at that time. Yes, youth, isn't that person full of nostalgia?

Not only Cheng Xiong, but also other classmates, Sun Lao Wu was next to the second child at the time, and after the principal finished speaking, Sun Lao Wu fell into the arms of the second child with a "snap", and he was almost about to cry: "Second brother, we will not be students soon~Hey~"

The second child said: "Don't be discouraged, our life has just begun!" ”

Just getting started, yes! It was just the beginning for a college student of the same age as Chengxiong at that time. It was a new beginning for the whole of China at that time, the beginning of rapid progress, and the beginning of all-round strides! 166 Reading Network
