Speech by Le Chuanzheng

On behalf of the university, Le Chuanzheng, President and Deputy Secretary of the CPC TU Committee, extended the sincerest congratulations and best wishes to all the graduates of 2024 who are about to embark on their new journeys, and delivered a “last lecture” to the graduates. He said, “Over the past four years, you have lived up to your youth and written the most splendid chapter of your youth; you have journeyed with the school and witnessed the changes of the times from beginning to end. Having you with us is the fortune of Taizhou University, and Taizhou University shines because of you!"

After leading the graduates to review the unforgettable journey at TU, Le Chuanzheng offered three hopes to the graduates:

To begin with, youngest should shoulder the responsibility given by the country, regard the needs of the country as their life creed, fulfill the responsibility and mission by the country and the times, and integrate their own efforts into the historical tide of national development, thus achieving greatness through efforts. They should shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to them by the units, regard the units as their homes and love their jobs, winning respect and recognition for their diligent and efficient work. They should shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to them by their families, learn to share joys and sorrows with their partners, and create a happy and fulfilling life together.

Besides, they should cultivate a spirit of perseverance, seize the opportunity while young, and make the most of it. Cultivate a spirit of never giving up halfway, maintain a sense of ambition and determination, and not be discouraged by difficulties or retreat in the face of setbacks. Cultivate a spirit of exploration, maintain a sense of curiosity and a desire for exploration, dare to take risks and be innovative, and strive to achieve more breakthroughs.

In addition, they are expected to keep a balanced mindset and master the basic skills; they are believed to find their own areas of expertise in the workplace and continuously enhance their “core competitiveness” so as to achieve a bright future. They are also hoped to resist temptations and endure loneliness, and steadfastly walk the path ahead, ultimately achieving a qualitative transformation.

“May you nurture a sense of national responsibility, establish a pioneering spirit, and hone your solid skills. Your alma mater and teachers will always stand by you, caring about and supporting your growth and progress!” Le ChuanYong wished all the graduates of the Class of 2024 good luck and a bright future!
