徐霖宁同学中英文发言全文
环顾这美丽的校园，我很高兴终于能够在漫长的疫情封闭期后与大家重聚于此。我想邀请大家搭乘属于你自己的时光机，穿越回1370天前，回到我们第一次踏入香港中文大学（深圳）的那一天。我想，对大部分在座的教授而言，那可能是普通得不能再普通的一天。但对于各位亲爱的同学们，以及我们的家人来说，那是非常重要而难忘的日子。我依然清晰地记得父母帮助我们搬进宿舍的画面，记得第一次与室友们打招呼的情景；记得入学第一周的迎新活动，记得与微积分课程接触的第一个"蜜月"，也记得随之而来的第一次期末考试.......时光荏苒，今天我们走到了终点线，即将结束这四年的旅程。
【成长与改变】
四年来，我们共同见证了彼此的成长与进步，共同见证了大学与深圳这座城市的发展。2020年是深圳经济特区建立40周年。创新的精神一直流淌在深圳的脉络之中。而我们的大学在秉承这种精神的同时，以一种更加开放和包容的方式丰富和塑造着我们的思维，给予我们充足的支持。
"成长"是我们大学四年的代名词。大学生活对我的改变，远远超出了我的预期。三年前，我选择了统计科学作为我的专业。但在那个时候，我还不懂读博士的意义，更不知道各个领域的前沿研究是在如何突破边界。但如今的我，有了崭新的模样。大学课堂内外的指引、培养和教育，都使我变成了一个更博学、更有毅力、更有韧性的人。在我即将踏上攻读博士学位的旅程之际，我想在此特别感谢各位杰出的教授，以及优秀的同学们对我的无私帮助，感谢你们一路上给予的支持！
虽然我的探险之路是独属于我的故事，但“成长、改变和拓展视野”的轨迹却与大多数港中大（深圳）人相似。在这里，我们拥有着丰富的学习机会和资源，被赋予了自由提问和上下求索的特权。我们的大学给予了我们最大的自由，让我们无论在学术领域还是课外生活都能够自由地追求自己的热爱。在这里，我们与全球顶尖学者们为友。他们不仅是我们人生的榜样，更是帮助我们实现梦想的“青春制作人”
对许多像我一样的同学来说，正是港中大（深圳）让我们能够挖掘真我、突破最大的潜能。
【大学生活：快乐与挑战】
香港中文大学（深圳）不仅仅是我们学习技能和知识的地方，更是我们温暖的家，一个甜蜜而赋予我们归属感的家。在思廷书院里体会全人发展的魅力，在高桌晚宴上与朋友们岁月言欢，在“咖啡慢谈”活动中与老师们谈天说地，在潘多拉美食广场里与教授共进午餐.......
然而，在香港中文大学（深圳），快乐与挑战是并存的。作为毕业生，你我深知大学四年并不是轻轻松松地度过的。但是，如果没有这些奋斗与挑战，我们无法拥有今天的成就：如果没有了这些高深的课程，我们便不会拥有那些疯狂通宵达旦却让人怀念不已的日夜；如果没有收到顶级会议、研究生项目或心仪工作的拒信，我们便没有机会将自己的“作品”打磨到最佳状态，也不会意识到原来曾经的Dreamoffer并不是最适合自己的；如果不是因为新冠病毒，我们也不可能拥有与家人在各自的家乡拍摄毕业照合影留念的机会……
【感恩常在】
我们都曾经历过快乐、喜悦、挑战和艰辛。一路走来，我们离不开许多人的爱和支持。请允许我代表2020届的毕业生们，向港中大（深圳）的所有老师们、同学们、朋友们和家长们表达衷心的感谢。感谢各位教授和老师一路以来的悉心教导，和不计其数的鼓励支持。与此同时，我也想借此机会感谢我的爸爸妈妈，感谢你们一直以来对我的支持，感谢你们给予了我自由，让我勇敢地追逐梦想。
各位2020届的毕业生们，各位求知若渴、敢于探索、坚韧不拔的年轻人们，在过去的四年里，我们共同“飞速”成长。此日一别，我们将各奔东西。无论你将继续升学，就业，抑或是踏入艺术、音乐、文学的殿堂，请记住，无论我们走到哪里，彼此一直同在。在今后的漫长岁月里，我们可能再也无法再见曾经朝夕相处的一些同学，但我们在这里共同创造的爱与回忆，将永远伴随着我们。
同学们，过去四年的青春里认识了你们，是我最大的幸运。那些独属于我们的 “Play Hard, Study Harder” 的岁月里，我从大家身上学会了年轻的勇气与执着、学会了对社会的担当与责任、学会了立足世界找寻自我的意义。它们早已成为了港中大深圳学子的烙印。
临行前，希望我们不要忘记徐校长的嘱托：“聚是一团火，散是满天星”。不论我们去到哪里，未来的我们要秉承母校的优良传统，在青春的道路上努力奔跑。成为胸怀天下，兼具国际视野和家国情怀，能在世界舞台上代表中国发声的新时代青年。
亲爱的毕业生们，请为自己感到骄傲。祝愿各位鹏程万里，大有可为。谢谢。
徐霖宁在2020年本科生毕业典礼上致辞
Dear professors, dear teachers, fellow graduates,
Good morning!
It is a privilege to speak on behalf of my fellow graduates. All the while, I’m fully aware that the great diversity and uniqueness of this graduate cohort can hardly be represented. First and foremost, allow me to offer you a resounding congratulations, Class of 2020!
Looking around at this beautiful campus, I’m so glad that we have finally reunited after the long isolation. Let me start by asking you a question, imaging that you step into your time machine and travel back in time about 1370 days ago, to the day when we first stepped into CUHK-Shenzhen. For most of our professors here, I guess, it was just a fairly regular day. But for the rest of us – my classmates and our families – it was really a big day. I still remember how our parents helped us move into our dorms, where we greeted our roommates for the first time. I also recall our first-week orientation, our first “honeymoon” month with calculus, then came our first final exam… And finally, we are today standing at the finishing line of this four-year adventure.
【Growing Up and Change】
Over the past four years, we have witnessed the progress of one another, together with the development of our university and the city of Shenzhen at large. This year marks the 40th anniversary since Shenzhen was established as China’s very first special economic zone. The spirit of innovation flows in the veins of Shenzhen. Our university, while embracing the same spirit, shapes our mind with extra openness, tolerance and abundant support.
“Growing-up” characterizes our past four years. Three years ago, I chose statistics as my major. Back then, I didn’t know what it meant to do a PhD, let alone how frontier studies in this area are breaking new grounds. But today I have a different story to tell. The guidance, training, and learning that I have received at this university, in its classrooms and beyond, has transformed me into a better informed, more resilient, a different person. While determined to pursue my PhD studies in the future, I owe a huge thanks to our wonderful professors and excellent peers who have given me the very support I needed.
Although my own path of adventure is unique to me, the experience of growing, changing, and expanding our vision is shared by many CUHK-Shenzheners. We have enjoyed many opportunities to learn, resources to use, and the privilege of raising questions and seeking answers to them. Our university has given us the maximum freedom to pursue our interest in academics as much as in extracurricular life. World’s leading scholars treat us as friends, acting as our role models, helping us fulfill our youthful dreams.
To me and many like me, CUHK-Shenzhen helps us uncover who we truly are and encourages us to realize our utmost potentials.
【College life: Joys and Challenges】
CUHK-Shenzhen is much more than just a place to gain skills and knowledge. It is also our sweet home that fills us with the sense of belonging. High-table dinner with friends, weekly coffee chat with teachers, and lunchtime with professors at Pandora… Our university life is filled with joyful moments.
However, at CUHK-Shenzhen, joys and challenges come hand in hand. As graduates, we know too well life here is not always easy. But without the challenges and struggles, we would never have become who we are today. Without those tough courses, we wouldn’t have had those crazy all-nighters to nostalgically look back on. Without getting rejections from top conferences, schools or job offers, we wouldn’t have polished our works to our personal best, neither would we have realized that the dream offer which we once deemed ideal doesn’t prove to be our best fit. Without Covid-19, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to take our graduation photos with families in our own hometowns.
Every challenge we overcame added to our stories, giving our life more facets to shine.
【Thankfulness】
We’ve all had our fun, our joys, our challenges and hard times, but all of these would not have become possible without the love and support of many people. Allow me, on behalf of the Class of 2020, to express our heart-felt thankfulness to the entire CUHK-Shenzhen community, the faculties, our friends and families.
[1] Dear professors and teachers, thank you for your kind instruction and guidance. You have helped us in more ways than we can count.
[2] I would also like to take this chance to thank my mom and dad for supporting me all along, for giving me the freedom to chase my dream with courage.
[3] To the Class of 2020, the intelligent, explorative, and resilient young men and women, we have grown up together so quickly over the past four years, and we will go our separate ways after this day. Some going to graduate schools, some venturing into the industry, some sailing into the world of art, music, and literature. Wherever we go, we will always have each other. In the long years to come, we might not be able to meet some of our class again, but the love and memories we have co-created will stay with us forever.
Dear graduates, it has been my greatest blessing to have known you during the last four years of my youth. Throughout the years of "Play Hard and Study Harder", I learned from you all the courage and perseverance of youth, the responsibility to society, and the significance of finding a true self in the world. All of these have long been an indelible attribute of CUHK-Shenzheners.
Before setting sail, let's not forget what President Xu said to us: "A flame we ignite when we are together, a starry sky we create when we separate." Wherever we go, we should always carry on the fine tradition of the alma mater and strive to advance in our journey of growing up. It is high time we became global citizens with an international outlook, and patriotic youths who speak out for China on the world stage.
I’m so proud of us! Class of 2020! Wish all of us the brightest future.
