The representative of the new students who abandoned the full scholarship of the University of Hong Kong to enroll in the "DaZhao Class" made a speech
At the opening ceremony, Wang Yijin, the first Chengdu girl to receive an admission letter from Peking University this year, spoke as a representative of the new students, telling about the original intention and mission of studying Marxism.
The reporter learned that Wang Yijin was admitted to the "Dazhao Class" of Peking University's Marxist Theoretical Talent Training Project, which is the first time that Peking University has recruited undergraduate students in advance batches of this major. Previously, Wang Yijin received an acceptance letter from the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong and received a full scholarship of HK$684,000. However, she gave up her admission to HKU and decided to enroll in the Marxist theory major at Peking University.
In her speech, Wang Yijin said that she received an acceptance letter from Peking University on July 11 this year, becoming the first batch of high-level students to recruit "Dazhao Class". Since she planned to enroll in the Marxist theory major at Peking University, she has constantly accepted the "soul torture": Why did she choose Marxism? Wang Yijin said that it was the personal practice of the Communist Party members around her that made her firm in her choice: her grandfather, who has been in the 47 years of the party, taught and educated people in the harsh and remote Tibetan areas of Sichuan, her parents aspired to be a teacher from an early age, and Zhang Guimei of Lijiang Huaping Girls' Senior High School used knowledge to change the fate of children...
"For every student who studies Marxism, academic diligence is important, but the most important thing is to think about and remember why you started, so that you can get great motivation on the road of learning and exploration, and go straight, steady, and far." Wang Yijin said.
"Perhaps in the eyes of relatives and friends, you have embarked on the broad road of life, and the great future seems to be within reach." But in fact, you choose a thorny path for yourself, after entering Peking University, you may soon have a sense of frustration in your studies, you may find that the goal is no longer unique, the path becomes diverse, and even where the road ahead will become blurred, even this moment is already the most brilliant moment of your life... At the opening ceremony, Liu Ruochuan, a professor at the School of Mathematical Sciences who graduated from Peking University and returned to teach at Peking University, poured a basin of "cold water" on the new students.
He told the students that Peking University is an academic treasure, but the entrance to the treasure is often a labyrinth, and the trick to cracking the "labyrinth" lies in communication - students should learn to communicate with their classmates, communicate with teachers, and communicate with the sages and predecessors of Peking University. We had the best time together. ”
The principal sent a message to the new students to "be a new person of the times who benefits the country"

Hao Ping said that reading China means that the new students should study history in the new period, strengthen their convictions, and integrate study and scientific research into the lofty ideals and practices of building the country. ”
Reading the world means broadening international horizons, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and telling Chinese stories and contributing Chinese wisdom to a harmonious, different, complex and complex world. "This semester, Peking University will offer more than 6,500 courses, including the active participation of more than 100 foreign experts from 25 countries, and I hope that students can actively participate and gain an international perspective."
"At present, we are in the fourth industrial revolution characterized by digitalization, intelligence and low carbon, and the rapid development of basic science and technology has also affected our campus higher education." In the face of the rapid development of science and technology, Hao Ping encouraged new students to read the times and cultivate innovative thinking and adaptability.
Finally, Hao Ping admonished the new students to read themselves, maintain a rational and peaceful mentality, establish correct self-knowledge, and grow up down-to-earth and healthy in the new environment. ”
