Every time I attend the graduation ceremony, I don’t really like this part, haha. Therefore, I am just concisely speaking three key words, and will end my speech quickly.
First keyword: time
Time is long and is also not long. Every time I watch the film which took by Feng Xiaogang in 2017, called “Fanghua”, and I have different feelings. Feng Xiaogang’s film commemorates his youth in the art troupe, and the three or five years in the center is our “Fanghua”. In the summer of 2013, I first came to the NCNST. In the summer of 2019, I will graduate and will leave from the place where we have lived for five years. Since I attended the graduation ceremony for the first time in 2014, I did not absent at the graduation ceremony for five times. It is the sixth time until now and it is my turn to graduate!
The time is so slow somehow. During this period of time, the atomic building that once burned has quickly built, and the railway track of Wudaokou was gone. The Tsinghua Park subway station next to the youth apartment closed down and the sound of the train could not be heard in the midnight anymore. In the pastime, I have brought four batches of summer camp students in the center's enrollment activities. I also clearly remember that one winter, Dr. Zhang Xiaorui and I were in the cold wind for two hours to buy Wudaokou jujube cake, and two years ago it also closed down. A few days ago, Dr. Wen Wen walked and talked with after the dinner. She said: I find that you have changed from a hansom boy to such a rough old man who is not trimmed. This is the change that the time bring to us.
The time is so short somehow. Because we don't want to graduate, because after graduation we can no longer be called as “student”. I know that we will separate, so this precious memory will be hidden in my heart.
Second keyword: thanks
Thanks to our mentor. In the past five years, there may be harshness for us, but they always concern about us. Thanks to the teachers in NCNST. They have paid a lot from recruiting us to NCNST to helping us to graduate successfully. I am proud when I interact with students from other institutes, I deeply feel that the NCNST is a place with “warm temperature”. Rich cultural life, such as coffee and red wine, bring us a glimmer of light in our boring life. Thanks to the leadership of the center, they raised my salary in the fourth year of my doctor. Thank to my classmates, we are together for five years.
Third keyword: back feeding
Today, the key word is “graduation” and the protagonist are us in the degree suit. At this moment, we are the “pillars” on the stage, but we may be on the other side of the world tomorrow. However, no matter where we go, I think we all have the same identity - Nano alumni. I hope that no matter where we go, if we meet again, we can support each other. If we have strength and ability someday, we will think of the nano center once cultivated us. Use your own actions to maintain the image of the NCNST, and lend a helping hand when the NCNST or our alumni need it. These simple actions may be the best "backfeeding" of ours in the future.
Conclusion
Sorry, I actually said more. The last part is a blessing to all of you:
