Dear students, parents and teachers

Good morning, everyone!

Today, we gather in the cloud to solemnly hold the graduation ceremony of the 2022 students of Dalian University of Neusoft Information (DNUI), to witness 4, 159 graduates successfully completing their studies and opening a new chapter in their lives. Here, on behalf of all teachers and students, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you! At the same time, I would also like to express my high respect and heartfelt thanks to the teachers who have nurtured you and your parents who have nurtured you diligently!

The campus in June is full of green trees and bright sunshine. It was supposed to be a time to watch students put on your baccalaureate gown and leave the most beautiful figure on campus, but because of the epidemic, we could only meet in the cloud. Some students said that the epidemic had stolen half of their college time, but you never stopped moving forward. As one of the first batch of "post-2000s" college students, in the face of repeated epidemics, you are optimistic, overcome difficulties, practice your skills in professional learning, highlight the tight encirclement, gain important international and national awards, and win offer from famous enterprises and schools. You have honed your character in social practice, bravely spearheaded the anti-epidemic work, and ran hard on the youth track, demonstrating the positive spirit of contemporary college students! As your teacher and the president of our school, I am sincerely proud of you!

In the past few years, we have witnessed the important moment of the centenary of the founding of the Party, the unprecedented grand occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the great motherland, and the realization of the dream of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The school has also made rapid progress in various undertakings. The school running space has been expanding. Bochuan Campus and Phase II University Science Park, with a total area of 270, 000 square meters, have built a higher level interactive exchange platform for education, teaching, practice and training for the cultivation of application-oriented talents. The achievements of connotative development are remarkable. The total number of provincial teaching achievement awards approved for two consecutive sessions ranks first among private colleges in the province. The number of first prizes approved in 2022 accounts for half of the number of private colleges in the province; From 2019 to 2021, seven national first-class undergraduate program construction sites were approved for three consecutive years, ranking first in the number of private colleges and universities in China. The ranking of universities continued to be brilliant. The teacher teaching development index and teacher competition status data continued to rank first among the private universities in China. From 2021-2022, they were selected as one of the top 100 innovative universities in the world for two consecutive years. The Metaverse Education ushered in a new era of DNUI's education development. The digital construction of the school and the deep integration of production, teaching and research have further promoted the quality of digital economy talent training on a large scale!

Students, the great changes that have not happened in the world in a hundred years are accelerating the evolution, and the international environment is complex. We are going through a broader and deeper scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, with new technologies, new formats and new models emerging in endlessly. 5G, 6G, artificial intelligence, big data, block chain, human-computer interaction, digital twins and other cutting-edge technologies continue to make breakthroughs. The next generation of intelligent terminals and the meta-universe will further expand human digital capabilities and drive the vigorous development of industrial digitalization.

In the new era, you are bound to experience more trials and tribulations, and you will have a broader space for development. Students, as you leave, every bit of the campus has become a regret that you cannot take away. However, the spiritual wealth of generations of Neusoft people who cut through the thorns and continue to struggle is a cultural gift that students can take away, and it is also the "Neusoft Mark" that your alma mater blends into your heart. Here, I would like to put forward some hopes for you.

Looking forward to the future, I hope you will be filled with family and country feelings with your pure heart. Only when young people are able to distinguish right from wrong can they adhere to the right path, and only when they are ambitious can they stimulate their potential. Students, you are the witnesses of this great era, and you are also the pioneers in the forefront of the times. As a generation of young people striving together with the new era, you should firmly believe in your mission, keep in mind your mission, aspire to build a secure and prosperous country, practice the mission of serving the country, closely link your personal future with the destiny of the country and the nation, integrate your personal ideals into the historical torrent of national prosperity and national prosperity, and strive to become new people of the era who are worthy of the heavy task of China's rejuvenation.

Looking forward to the future, I hope you can improve your life with your hard work. He who will not seek change will succeed, and he who will not seek refuge will enter. Students, there are no towering trees in the greenhouse, and those who are lazy cannot achieve great things. The road of life will never be smooth. Only self-discipline, self-improvement, hard work and responsibility, continuous improvement of thinking ability, efforts to study professional knowledge, and continuous improvement of practical ability can we meet challenges, step on the ground and work hard, and sing the song of youth in the constant arrival of travelers.

Looking forward to the future, I hope you can cultivate the noble spirit with diligence and good thinking. The word "learning" comes first, and hard work leads to true knowledge; The word "thinking" is important, and deep thinking is the most important. In today's world, where new knowledge, new situations and new things are emerging one after another, only constant learning and rapid response can better adapt to the future. I hope that students will be diligent in learning new knowledge, be good at studying new problems, regard learning as a living habit and a life attitude, constantly expand the vision and field of learning, become learners who adapt to changes and create the future, and constantly win initiative and advantages in life.

No matter where you are in the future, I hope you have responsibilities in your heart and on your shoulders. I sincerely hope that in the new journey, students will live up to their youth and great times, stimulate their youth and create a better future!

The swan flies high and lifts a thousand miles at a stroke. The mountains are high and the waters are long, but the horizon is not far away. Today is the end of your college life and the beginning of your future life. I hope you will remember alma mater's magnolia in spring, wutong in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and snow in winter; I hope you will remember the expectations of the "Eighteen Bronze People", the blessings of the squirrels on the campus, the delicious food on the tip of the tongue of Neusoft, and the fact that your alma mater has always been your spiritual home and solid backing. I also hope you can go home and see it often!

I wish all the graduates a smooth sailing and a bright future!

Thank you!
