the longest dream

Chapter 548 Graduation Q&A
Huaqing Garden, Humanities Building.

In the supervisor's office, Zhang Qing said helplessly: "Teacher, didn't you tell me that the graduate representative should be left to someone else. It's the icing on the cake for me, and it's a rare qualification for others."

Bai Qi was also helpless: "It's not our decision, it's the graduates calling for you to do this report too loudly. Although you are very low-key, you have done so many things, especially now that you have entered the Internet age, Bay There are rumors about you everywhere in Wanwan, and you are described as a financial butcher. This matter is quite divided among the students, and it just so happens that you can also communicate with everyone.”

Zhang Qing wondered, "Is this necessary?"

Bai Qi became more serious, and said: "There are already a lot of rumors against you in the school. Not only the students, but even some professors have publicly said some complaints. They said that you are clearly a student trained by Huaqing, and the result is, Many projects have been distributed to NPU, Harbin Institute of Technology, Beihang University, and BIT, and the students in their own schools have hardly used them. Not to mention those donated, you have donated more than a dozen key laboratories to NPU, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Harbin Engineering. Expand All-round cooperation, how come there is no one here at my alma mater?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Because Huaqing has them all, Mr. Bai, the combined educational expenses of the seven national defense sons are not comparable to Huaqing's annual expenses. As a result, all the outstanding ones in Huaqing Garden have gone abroad. Go abroad Further study itself is good, but too few come back.”

Bai Qi said with a strange expression: "Other people can think like this, you shouldn't think like this. You respect the old man so much, how far-sighted the old man is, can't the above see this phenomenon? Go out a hundred, and if one comes back after learning, then This deal is worth a lot. It's not like you don't know that there are many things that you can't buy no matter how much money you spend. But foreign students can."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I know, so I never speak publicly except for a few private complaints. But, because of this, I think that the school's funds are already enough. I will go to add icing on the cake, there is no need. As for the project The cooperation is mainly because we are afraid that our national laboratories will not have the time to take care of my small projects..."

Bai Qi laughed angrily and said, "That's fine. At the graduation party, when your classmates ask questions, I'll see if these answers can convince them! Go back and prepare well. In the graduation speech, just talk about your life experience. "

……

"There is always a thousand words to meet, but only two words to say goodbye."

"I have seen peach blossoms bloom four times, and I have heard the closing bell of the library countless times. Finally, it is time for us to say goodbye."

"The morning sun on the playground, the ginkgo leaves falling on the side of the Qiushi road, the smell of rice rising from the canteen, everything is still in front of us, but it will soon become the best memory."

"The closer the parting is, the more we realize how precious this period is."

"Looking back on this period of youth, I am full of deep attachment to my alma mater, sincere gratitude to my teachers, and the most sincere blessings to my classmates and friends."

"In the past four years, Huaqing Garden has become our common coordinate and memory. No matter where our lives go in the future, our alma mater will always be here, and Huaqing is our eternal home!"

"The instructor said that many students hoped that I would speak and talk about my past and experience, hoping to be of some help to the students."

"I was born in a small village in Western Xinjiang. Even in Western Xinjiang, it is a remote frontier, more than 1000 miles away from the capital."

"I have traveled a long way and endured a lot of hardships to stand in front of everyone. The 22-year journey of my life has been rainy and muddy, just like a dream."

"The house is empty, doing homework or reading under a kerosene lamp is probably the happiest thing in my memory. But most of my memories are endless farm work and the bone-chilling cold in winter."

"Toil and cold weather are actually bearable, but poverty is the mountain that has crushed my liver and gallbladder several times, and I have almost given up on life."

"Father's health is not good, and in high school, he can only be bedridden."

"My mother was severely anemic and struggled to bear the heavy farm work."

"Even so, they still strictly require me to study, because for a family like ours, only by studying can the fate of the family be changed."

"However, even though the country waived my tuition fees and subsidized my basic living expenses, the travel expenses and some tuition and miscellaneous expenses are still difficult for poor families to afford."

"The last year of high school..."

On the rostrum of the auditorium of Huaqing Garden, Zhang Qing, who was making a graduation report, choked up for a while, and then continued: "The travel expenses and tuition fees for the last year of high school were paid by my 12-year-old sister, who borrowed a neighbor's scooter , pulling my bedridden father, and my mother pushing behind, went to the blood vendor at the entrance of the village to sell blood to raise money."

Under the auditorium, there was an uproar, and the sobbing of some female students.

Zhang Qing paused again, and said: "This is what my sister told me after I cut [-] mu of wheat in the field. She said regretfully that blood dealers are very annoying because she thinks she is too young to Willing to accept her blood. I told my mother, I really don’t want to study anymore, I should go home to take care of this family. But my parents said that it’s already the last year, so if I give up now, the hardships ahead will be gone. I ate for nothing.

Next, it is the past few years that everyone is more familiar with.I wrote my first novel and took my parents to Jiangjing to see a doctor. After all, fate favored me.

I don't really want to talk about this, because there is too much suffering.And suffering itself should never be revered.

I am more willing to bless my classmates, use my youth to write the most magnificent Chinese dream, use my dreams to achieve the future of the country, we, strive to be the backbone of China!
Finally, I also wish my classmates who have similar experiences to me: poor but strong, never fall into the sky!

Congratulations everyone, we graduated!

May we not be afraid of difficulties along the way!May our future be bright! "

After Zhang Qing finished his speech, the auditorium was full of Huaqing students who were not graduates, and they all burst into warm applause.

After a full 5 minutes, the applause finally stopped under Bai Qi's vain pressure.

Bai Qi took the microphone and said with a smile: "Very touching and sincere graduation speech. Zhang Qing's past made me feel distressed, and made me feel proud of him. His impressive achievements today are not only It is his personal glory, and it is also the brilliance that Huaqing is proud of! The cadres of the student union told me that today they not only hope to hear Zhang Qing’s speech, but also hope to have a direct dialogue with him. So come on, please ask rational questions... ...Oh, Principal Wang, you have to be the first person to ask questions."

Amidst a burst of laughter, the microphone came into the hands of Wang Ziqian, the principal of Huaqing. After he got the microphone, he stood up and said, "First of all, like Zhang Qing, I wish you all a happy graduation and wish you all the best in your future studies, On the road of work and growth, I have always been able to strive for self-improvement and be generous. I will stop rambling, after all, my legend is far inferior to that of Zhang Qing. Then I will start asking questions. How do you think of Zhang Qing? What about Huaqing University, my alma mater?"

Zhang Qing calmly smiled and said: "There is no doubt that Huaqing University is a world-class university. Our university's rate of going abroad, plus the quota of the neighboring university, is more than all other universities in the country combined. The number of Huaqing people working in Silicon Valley in the United States is several times larger than the number of people in the auditorium today. They have a colorful life, and they are all proud of Huaqing.

But I believe that more and more Huaqing people will choose to stay in China and contribute their strength to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "

Wang Ziqian smiled and said: "Student Zhang Qing, since you want everyone to stay, your Dujuan department should recruit more talents from your alma mater. In the past year, many old professors and students have complained to me Yes, Zhang Qing, who is from Huaqing, is closer to Xigong University. President Zhao of Xigong University is very proud of me every time he meets with me.”

Amidst a small laugh and a lot of scrutiny, Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Principal, you really wronged me. Every time the group recruits new students on a large scale, Huaqing graduates are always the first batch to be solicited for opinions. However, the effect was very poor. Let me give you an example. During the school recruitment in 98, the manager of the personnel department brought a large number of people into the campus. At that time, there were 2251 graduates in total, but 1744 of them had a firm intention to go abroad. The rest , half of them choose to be transferred to official careers, and the other third choose to enter the financial circle. I really have no choice."

Wang Ziqian smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then I understand. It turns out that everyone's choices are different. It's also very good. Let the students speak."

The microphone came into the hands of a girl, who stood up and asked, "Hello Zhang Qing, I am Lu Yan, a graduate of the Nuclear Research Institute of the sixth-character class. I did not choose to go abroad, but continued to study in this school. The construction of a 10MW high-temperature gas-cooled experimental reactor. Many of my parents and relatives did not understand, thinking that I should go to the United States, to Silicon Valley, to realize my ideals and improve my life. Zhang Qing, do you think my choice is right? ?"

Zhang Qing said seriously: "Student Lu Yan, your choice is [-]% correct! The importance of nuclear power technology is a major event that greatly benefits the fate and future of the country. Will it be okay to go abroad? I can take responsibility Let me tell you, as far as I know, the vast majority of the [-] Huaqing people in Silicon Valley are mediocre low-level employees, and their status is far from comparable to that of Indians. It is impossible to participate in the key projects you are participating in now, and the salary you get is just above the middle class in the United States.

To be a little arrogant, I need them to work hard for ten years to barely pay for the fuel money I consume on a plane.However, my plane has been flying for ten years, and it is not as important as one minute of your work.

When your experimental reactor is successfully tested and realizes full power grid connection, I will definitely congratulate you personally.

Just now Principal Wang said that I have little cooperation with my classmates. Principal, look, I am working with Lu Yan right now? "

Wang Ziqian laughed and said, "Why did you cooperate? You didn't donate money to her project investment."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I hold 30.00% of the shares of CLP Hong Kong Island, and CLP owns 25% of the shares of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. After Lu Yan's experimental reactor is successfully connected to the grid, shouldn't we cooperate?"

"Hahaha!"
