Yu Minhong inspirational speech
Fellow students and leaders:
Good morning, everyone! (applause)
I am very glad that President Xu has given me such a high honor to talk about my experience at Beijing university. (applause)
It can be said that Beijing University is a place that changed my whole life. It was a place for me to improve myself and make me go from a rural child to the world at last. It is no exaggeration to say that without Peking University, there would be no me today. Peking University left me a series of good memories, probably leaving a series of pain. It is between the good and the bad, in the middle of setbacks, struggles and progress, that you finally find yourself and begin to do something for yourself, for your family, for your society.
Student life is very wonderful, there are many good memories.
I remember there was a boy in our class who dropped the violin every day in the dormitory of the girls. (laughter) he wanted to attract the attention of the girls, and then the girls threw the water bottles. I still remember myself in order to attract the attention of girls, every winter vacation and summer vacation to help girls carry bags. (laughter, applause) and later I found out that the girl had a boyfriend. (laughter) I asked her why she wanted me to carry the bag, she said, in order to let her boyfriend take a break (laughter, applause). I remember when he first entered university I do not speak
Mandarin, when the class first class meeting each other, I stood up and introduced himself, the results of our monitor stood up and said to me: "Yu Minhong, you can not speak Japanese?" (laughter) I spent a whole year holding the radio and imitating the broadcast of the broadcasting station in the woods of Peking University. But I still can't speak Putonghua well today.
Man's progress may be a lifelong thing. At Peking University is the beginning, not the end, of our lives. There are a lot of things that are very moving. For example, we were very fortunate to have met Professor Zhu Guangqian. In his last days, the students of our class took turns in wheelchairs and walked with him in Peking University every day. (applause) every time I wheeled a wheelchair, I was filled with admiration for Professor Zhu Guangqian, a sense of holiness. So, the most important
area I read in college is aesthetics. Because he wrote a history of western aesthetics, the second book I read after I entered college.
Why second? Because this is the first, I entered the dormitory after the Beijing University, I have a student in the dormitory. The students lying on the bed to read a book called "the fall of the Third Reich". So I asked him a word, and I said, "do you still want to read this kind of book at university?"" He took the book out of his eyes, looked at me, ignored me, and went on with his book. This eye remained in my heart. I know that entering Beijing University is not only to study majors, but also to read a great deal of books. You will be able to qualify yourself as a student at Peking university. (applause) so I read the first book in the north "is the rise and fall of the Third Reich", and read three times. Later I went to this school, I
said: "let's talk" rise and fall of the Third Reich ", he said:"
I have forgotten." (laughter)
I also remember my tutor, Professor Li Funing, who was the head of the English Department of Peking University. When he gave us the fourth edition of new concept English, he wrote the blackboard on a blackboard every time. It was very complete and very beautiful. Always write from th
e top left corner of the blackboard. When the bell rings, it just writes to the bottom right corner. (applause) I remember my professor of English literature, Professor Luo Jingguo, who failed my exams in the last year at Peking University because of a bad mood. I found Professor Luo and said, "if I fail this course, I can't finish it."." Professor Luo said, "I can give you a passing grade, but please remember, you must make a worthwhile contribution in the future."." (applause.) therefore, the tolerance, knowledge, boldness and freedom of Peking University teacher can really make us a student of Beijing university,
Really get the spirit of Peking university. When I heard that President Xu Zhihong sang "invisible wings" to students, I opened the video and was moved to tears. Because I think the president of Beijing University should be like this. (applause)
I remember I had a lot of depression when I was in Beijing university. First, Mandarin is not good, second English level is a mess. Although my college entrance examination after three years of efforts to test to the North -- because I failed two times, the last time was accidentally entered the north. I never thought that Beijing University was the place where I could go to school. She was a sacred place in my heart. I felt I could
never reach it. But that year, third years of examination, my college entrance examination scores than the Peking University admission score of seven points, I finally determined to gnash the teeth "Peking University" four words. I know a lot of people will score higher than me. I don't think I will be accepted. Unexpectedly, Beijing University Admissions teacher is very rich eyes, I expected thirty years later today. (applause) but in fact, my English is poor. I can neither hear nor speak in the countryside. I can only recite grammar and words. When our class was divided into classes, fifty students were divided into three classes. Because my English test scores were good, I was assigned to the A class. But a month later, I was transferred to class C. Class C is called "pronunciation, intonation and hearing barrier"". (laughter)
I also remember that before I entered Beijing University, I didn't even read "the dream of Red Mansions", so I saw one of my classmates reading a book, and I was chasing like mad. The results of my university almost read more than 800 books, for a period of five years (applause). But I still haven't caught up with my classmates. I remember my monitor Wang Qiang is a Book addiction, and now he is in New Oriental, is the dean of the New Oriental Institute of education. Every time he bought
a book, I followed him, when Peking University gave us more than
20 yuan per month for living expenses, Wang Qiang has a hobby, that is, the cost of living in two, half used to buy books, half used to buy food tickets. Never spend money on books to buy tickets. If he doesn't have a meal ticket, he can borrow it everywhere and steal it everywhere he can't borrow it. (laughter) I found him a good habit, I also put my living expenses for a two, half to buy books, half to buy a meal ticket,
ticket after I stole his. (laughter, applause)
It is no exaggeration to say that our classmates were in Beijing University, which is one of the most reading classes. And our class was very active, and there were several poets. Later the famous a poet named Xichuan, real name Liu Jun, is in our class. (applause) I remember our class on the other, it was a good group of Beijing University, but one night you have fun, the dance veneer dance for second weeks, was criticized by the Ministry of education informed. The dance must jump very formal, and slightly closer to that violate discipline. So you're happier now than we were. Not only can dance, but also hand in hand in the campus walk, if we were male and female novices in hand in the campus walk, will be thrown to the side of the lake, it is generally after twelve in the evening on the campus walk. (laughter, applause)
I also remember fifty students in our class, just twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls. When I heard this ratio, I was very excited at the time. (laughter) I think everyone should be a match. Didn't think girls are those who looked handsome, casual and elegant bearing boys. Girls like me don't have a lot of looks and are full of feelings and have great potential for development in the future. Girls generally don't see it. (laughter, applause)
I remember I was fighting for two years to catch up with my classmates in the result, but just like LV Zhi teacher said, although you in the school entrance exam may very well, is the first, but the elite talent too much, around you may be very intelligent students,
