In the history of the party in the past hundred years, I feel the original intention and mission
Shoulder responsibility and responsibility in the journey of struggle
Dear students, teachers, relatives and friends of graduates,
Good morning, everyone!
Today, we held a grand graduation ceremony and degree conferment ceremony for 11,604 graduates of Xihua University. On the occasion of the students' farewell to their alma mater and the beginning of a new journey in life, on behalf of the school, I would like to express my warm congratulations to the students! High regards to the parents and faculty who have worked hard to nurture you!
The Class of 2021 is a special class and a lucky one.
Together, we have experienced an important historical moment in the development of the cause of the party and the country. In 2017, we welcomed the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the call of the Chinese Dream, you walked with youth and the new era; in 2018, we commemorated the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, from the reform pioneers, you felt the hard work of generations of young people; in 2019, we jointly celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China and witnessed the brilliant achievements of the great motherland; in 2020, we were in the same boat and fought the epidemic together, the "Xihua Responsibility" of the cloud classroom and the "Xihua Speed" of the nucleic acid of all employees. Let us feel the significant advantages of the socialist system more deeply; in 2021, we will witness the comprehensive victory of poverty alleviation and usher in the centennial anniversary of the party.
Together, we have witnessed the vigorous development of the school's cause. The school's engineering discipline entered the top 1% of ESI global ranking for the first time; 22 majors such as mechanical design and manufacturing and automation were selected as national or provincial first-class undergraduate professional construction sites; 5 majors such as electrical engineering and automation passed the international engineering education professional certification; successfully applied for the "Intelligent Air-Ground Fusion Vehicle and Control" Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education; jointly built the first emergency college in our province with the Sichuan Provincial Emergency Response Department; cooperated with Trinity University in Indonesia to build a Confucius Institute; and the first phase of the Yibin Campus was put into use. The completion of the second phase is imminent, and the first batch of 1921 students graduated this year; we jointly celebrated the 60th anniversary of the school, summarized the 60 years of experience in running the school, and drew a blueprint for the future development of the school.
We clearly know that to ensure the quality of talent training in the school, it is inseparable from the hard work of teachers who overcome various difficulties and travel between Chengdu and Yibin; to ensure the smooth operation of the campus, it is inseparable from the hard work of the front-line teaching staff; to ensure that the campus is clean and orderly, and it is inseparable from the silent efforts of every logistics staff. Here, on behalf of the school, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the teaching staff who have worked hard in all positions of teaching and educating people! Their boundless love for education and their high responsibility for talent training have paved the way for students to become talents.
The original intention has not changed, and the school strives to provide better learning and living conditions for everyone. During your studies, the school installed air conditioning for all the student dormitories, and Building 10 of the Dexinyuan Student Dormitory was put into use, a number of smart classrooms were built, the teaching building and canteen were repaired and renovated, and the Modern Agricultural Machinery Research Institute and the Engineering Research Center building of the Ministry of Education were built. However, the development of the school is still far from your expectations. You often say that there are not enough sports places, and the swimming pool is like "dumplings"; you sometimes complain that the internet speed is too slow, the library is too hot, the classroom projection is not clear, and the study room is not enough; you expect the dormitory to become a quadruple room like the Yibin campus, with hot water, dry and wet partitions. Subject to various objective reasons, your needs cannot be fully met by the school for the time being, but the school will certainly work harder. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the school will install air conditioning for the library, improve the teaching conditions of the classrooms, build the fifth student canteen and a new student dormitory, expand about 80 acres of sports venues, and the renovated gymnasium will undertake the volleyball competition project of the 31st World Universiade, which will further improve the sports facilities of the school after being delivered and used. With the active efforts of the school, the subway will also set up stations around the school. The school will continue to work hard to provide better conditions for Xihua students to grow into talents and provide better conditions for the working life of teachers and staff, please believe that when students return here, they will definitely see a better alma mater!
The years are like songs, and you have left a shining mark of youth with your struggle. Among you, there are countless shining "Stars of Xihua": Yang Tianju, a graduate student of the Marxist College, was named the "Excellent Teacher aiding Tibet" in Batang County; the papers of Liu Wei, a graduate student of the School of Electrical and Electronic Information, and Xiong Wei, a student of the College of Science, were selected as ESI1% highly cited papers; Jiang Chengshuai, a student of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, who has donated blood free of charge in Shanghai, Chengdu and Hangzhou in the past five years, won the "Sichuan Province Unpaid Blood Donation Selfless Great Love Heroic Model List", and won the 2018-2019 National Unpaid Blood Donation Gold Award Zhang Weihu, a student of the School of Mechanical Engineering, won more than 40 international and domestic design awards, and was exempted from studying for a master's degree at Zhejiang University... It is this shining star that has converged into a bright galaxy, you have published more than 1,500 academic papers, more than 400 authorized patents, you have participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, you have participated in the volunteer service of the 13th Global Confucius Institute Conference, you have gone to Tibetan areas to support education, and you have contributed the power of youth to poverty alleviation... The school applauds your growth and talents and praises your spirit of responsibility!
Dear students, over the past hundred years, the CPC has striven for national independence and the liberation of the people, realized the prosperity and strength of the country and the happiness of the people, and created one brilliant glory after another on the road of seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation and happiness for the Chinese people. Over the past hundred years, generations of young people have held high the banner and followed the party, fought bloody battles, marched forward to succeed each other, worked hard, and built a country of youth with the youth of me, so that today's China has prosperity. A new century has begun, and in the face of the great changes that have not occurred in a hundred years, you are born in a prosperous world, but also have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. By 2035, you are standing in the middle of the century, and by the middle of this century, you will be rich and powerful, and it is time to make meritorious achievements. A generation has a generation's mission, and what kind of answer sheet will you hand over to the motherland and the people when you are about to leave the school?
Today, the school held a graduation ceremony to award a degree to each student, which is not only an affirmation of the students' academic success, but also full of ardent expectations for you! As your principal and division chief, I would like to give you four hopes:
First, we should set great aspirations and shoulder the heavy historical responsibility of national rejuvenation
Not long ago, the TV series "The Age of Awakening" was popular, and there were countless "circle fans" among young people. The young and enthusiastic revolutionary ancestors were not willing to be mediocre, harbored the ideal ambition of serving the country and the people, and threw themselves into the difficult road of saving the country and saving the people without hesitation. In July 1921, on the red boat in Jiaxing South Lake, the average age of 13 delegates representing more than 50 party members across the country was less than 28 years old. Since then, the Communist Party of China, with the pride and ambition of "sacrificing more and more ambitions, daring to teach the sun and the moon for a new day," united and led the people to carry out a bloody struggle for 28 years, overthrowing three mountains, establishing the People's Republic of China, and completing the great cause of national salvation.
During this period, more than 40,000 young intellectuals came to Yan'an and gathered under the banner of the Communist Party of China. Yang Cheng, the first dean of Xihua University, was one of them, and in 1937, at the age of 21, he went to Yan'an to join the Chinese Communist Party and worked in Yan'an for nearly 10 years. At the time of national peril, countless young people have thrown themselves into the torrent of history and shouldered the responsibility of saving lives and trying to survive with their young shoulders.
The Chinese nation has experienced hardships and glory, always adhered to the same dream, and diligently pursued "national rejuvenation". Liang Qichao proposed "Young China", Sun Yat-sen shouted "rejuvenating China", and Li Dazhao called for the struggle for "the rebirth and reconstruction of the Chinese nation"... In the past hundred years, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has been a goal that countless people with lofty ideals and benevolent people have stubbornly pursued, and the souls of generations have been haunted by dreams and the hearts of hundreds of millions of people have been puzzled. I hope that everyone will look up to the revolutionary ancestors, set great aspirations, and make unremitting efforts for national rejuvenation!
Second, Ming Dade shoulders the heavy historical responsibility of seeking happiness for the people
During the period of socialist revolution and construction, the Communist Party of China began to explore China's own path of socialist construction. During this period, countless young people demonstrated their responsibility and responsibility with actions. In order to defend the people's peaceful life, countless young soldiers sacrificed themselves on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea; for the sake of the country's "three-line construction," countless young scientific and technological workers rushed to remote mountains. The 22-year-old Lei Feng died in the line of duty, but the "Lei Feng spirit" of serving the people has been passed down to this day; Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, chose to learn to be a farmer at the age of 19, and spent his life in the rice fields of the motherland, making outstanding contributions to solving the problem of Chinese's food and clothing and ensuring national food security.
During this period, in response to Chairman Mao's instruction that "the fundamental way out of agriculture lies in mechanization", the predecessor of our school, the Sichuan Agricultural Machinery College, was born. Since its birth, the school has shouldered the mission of educating people for the party and the country. The first generation of entrepreneurs of the school, represented by Dean Yang Cheng, "started from scratch" and started a business with difficulty, and cultivated a large number of agricultural machinery talents for the southwest region under extremely difficult conditions.
I hope that the students will feel the responsibility and responsibility of young people from the great cause of rejuvenating the country by changing the world and the earth, and strive unremittingly for the happiness of the people!
Third, to become a great talent, to assume the historical responsibility of the country's scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement
When science and technology prosper, the nation prospers, and when science and technology is strong, the country is strong. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "science and technology have never had such a profound impact on the future and destiny of the country as it does today, and have never had such a profound impact on the well-being of the people as it does today." "If China wants to be strong and prosperous and prosperous, it must vigorously develop science and technology, strive to become a major scientific center and innovation highland in the world," and "strive to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance!" Chinese youth have stood on the historical stage of scientific and technological innovation. On June 17, the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft took off, and Chinese entered its own space station for the first time, marking the arrival of the era when Chinese astronauts are stationed in space. In the field of China's aerospace science and technology, the average age of the Shenzhou team is only 33 years old, the average age of the Beidou team is 35 years old, and the average age of the satellite application team is 28 years old. "Chang'e" running to the moon, "Jiaolong" exploring the sea, "Beidou" networking, "Tianwen" exploring fire... Behind every major innovation, there are all vibrant and energetic youth figures. Wang Huaming, an alumnus of the 79th class of our school, overcame difficulties on the road of scientific research, grew into an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and as a "Chinese laser 3D printing guide", helped the motherland realize its flying dream. I hope that the students will shoulder the heavy responsibilities and opportunities entrusted by the times, take graduation as a new starting point, take "learning" and "seeking knowledge" as the inherent needs of a lifetime, combine "learning to be true" and "applying what they have learned", carry forward the spirit of patriotic and struggling scientists, forever climb the peak of science, become a great talent, and contribute to the high level of self-reliance and self-improvement of national science and technology!
Fourth, shoulder the great responsibility and shoulder the heavy historical responsibility of the country's prosperity and strength
Gradually realizing the goal of saving the country, rejuvenating the country, enriching the country, and strengthening the country is the solemn mission of the CPC's century-old history. After several generations of struggle, today's China is getting closer and closer to the center of the world stage and embarks on a new journey to achieve the great cause of a strong country in the middle of this century. In this new journey, our young people have lived up to the expectations of the people and shouldered a mountain of responsibilities with their arms. In the frontline of poverty alleviation and the battlefield of the anti-epidemic struggle, thousands of "post-95s" and "post-00s" are fighting in the frontline of the grassroots, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, showing the excitement of youth and showing the hope of the Chinese nation!
After graduation, Liu Yongxing, a 77-level alumnus of our school, threw himself into the tide of reform, founded the Hope Group, became a leader of China's private enterprises, and created a steady stream of wealth for the society; Zhao Jing, a 97-level alumnus, was stationed in the front line of poverty alleviation in Liangshan Prefecture, led the team to build roads on the cliff, helped the people in the depths of the mountains to change their ways, and was named "2020 Top Ten People Who Moved Traffic". There are many alumni like Zhao Jing, Luo Tianlong, an alumnus of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, who gave up the opportunity to work in coastal cities and rushed to Kashgar, Xinjiang, to contribute his strength to changing the local poverty and backwardness; Wang Qiang, an alumnus of the School of Civil Engineering and Environment, came to Meigu County, Liangshan Prefecture, and fought in the front line of forest and grassland fire prevention and improvement and rural revitalization... Countless Xihua alumni have taken root in the motherland and contributed to the country's economic and social development! I hope that you, like them, will shoulder great responsibilities and make unremitting efforts for the prosperity and strength of the motherland!
Students, although each of you has your own different life goals, I hope that everyone will cherish the greatness of the country, integrate the small self into the big self of the motherland and the big self of the people, see the spirit in doing every little thing, completing every task, and performing every duty, contribute to serving the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people, and let the flower of youth bloom on the new journey of building a socialist modern power!
Students, "lying flat" is not the background of youth, struggle is the mainstream of the times. After the development from scratch and from small to large, the school is in the third entrepreneurial period of "from large to strong". We are scientifically formulating the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the medium- and long-term development plan to depict a beautiful blueprint for the high-quality development of Xihua; we will accelerate the construction of high-level undergraduates, vigorously promote the reform of postgraduate education, comprehensively improve the quality of talent training, and send more and more outstanding talents to the society; we will give more prominence to the loftiness of academia and the honor of scholars, vigorously implement the strategy of strengthening schools with talents, strive to gather new impetus for innovation and development, and make greater contributions to economic and social development! Under the leadership of the party, we will shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by the country and the times, gather the magnificent forces to promote the development of the school, and stride forward towards the well-known provincial comprehensive universities in China with distinctive characteristics!
I hope that students will continue to pay attention to the development of their alma mater after graduation, support the construction of their alma mater, go back to their alma mater to see more, cheer for the struggle of Xihua, and praise the achievements of their alma mater!
It is difficult to give up, and you who struggle are the eternal concern of your alma mater. When you set off to run to your respective dreams, as elders, I also want to exhort everyone: all struggles, deep in the heart must not be willing to be mediocre, I hope that everyone will maintain their original intentions in the struggle, and accept the ordinary in the grinding. On the road to excellence, we must maintain a normal heart, not only with love, try our best, but also calm down, calm down, take it slowly, and give ourselves time to accumulate thick and thin hair. Not only to harvest the joy of struggle, but also to appreciate the beauty of life and live a happy life. When things happen, more understanding and more tolerance, you can harvest more beauty and more sincerity. Adhere to the regular routine and exercise, both physically and emotionally will be healthier, which is not only responsible for yourself, but also your responsibility to your family and society. You know, even your most mundane life and work is the other side that some people may never be able to reach!
Finally, may the students have all their thoughts in their hearts, work for the health of the motherland for 50 years, and live up to the good times in life!
Thank you!
