everyone!
is honored to participate in the most important moment of your life at this special time, and I sincerely congratulate you on your successful completion of your studies and your satisfactory results.
I stand here today, I still remember Wang Yu
's graduation speech three years ago--- "Only the brave can take on the most selfless career." He lamented for the graduates "life is not the right time", for the lack of new infectious diseases and public health emergencies caused by the concept of disease prevention and control indifference and social forgetting uneven, "flying birds and good bows and hides" helpless hit the heart.
However, just three years later, a sudden outbreak in a rapid, decisive, single-knife straight into our lives, not to allow the slightest hesitation and hesitation, no one to open the road, no one to lead, we are in this watershed, forced to grow up overnight.
are you ready? You have chosen the cause of disease control and public health, you have to be ready for the "no flowers" career ..., Wuhan City, compatriots were killed, doctors forget to treat, after the success of someone sent flowers. Discover the virus, research and development diagnosis, careful flow, community prevention and control ..., disease control people get is complaining, blame, no flowers, no applause, bear the burden of humiliation ..., because you are selfless brave soldiers.
you ready for the next pandemic of infectious diseases and the next public health emergency? Can you fight bravely without flowers? Can you stand up to accusations and abuse? Students, comrades, you must be ready, brave and selfless, carry the burden of the forward, to defend the people, to defend the country, to defend the world, to defend the earth, to defend the universe ...
This "war", on the other hand, let me see that every Chinese are heroes! Viruses are rampant, the epidemic is raging, the demons take advantage of the chaos, everyone is fighting with blood. We have the great people of Wuhan, the great people of Beijing, Chinese people!
In this battle, hundreds of millions of people did not look across the shore fire, in the face of the needs of the crisis, from the first-line medical and defense personnel adhere to, sacrifice to the strength of ordinary people, self-discipline, we are surrounded by ordinary people have become their own and others' heroes, this is a hero without heroes do not need heroes but everyone is a hero of the times.
I am pleased to see that since the outbreak, many disease control students, you are here today, also spontaneously joined Wuhan anti-epidemic, national defense;
I believe this outbreak has given you extraordinary meaning, and then you say, "That's before the new crown outbreak, that's before the pandemic," and I--hold on! A part of your life will always be defined as "before", just as other generations have said, "That was before the war, that was before the Internet came out, that was before 5G came out", and that "before" means a lot in your life.
we must be responsible for history, to the people, no flowers, no applause, the same has our dedication to disease control. For "once-upon-a-time", we have wonderful "former" story sharing, we deserve this great era! This is an era of great change not in a hundred years!
First of all, this outbreak has allowed you to take one more course and one more credit than any other student, which, although not in the traditional sense of examination, will become the most important lesson in your life, the most meaningful "big test", which teaches you how to think about the changes and upheaers in your life, and how to be self-involved and make the right choices in the face of great changes
... Your graduates will not just do the work that must be done, but the people chosen by the times will form new structures, define new realities, and create new worlds.
this outbreak has made you a well-deserved graduate who was chosen by the times! You are the graduates under the pandemic, the graduates who fight the virus together, the graduates who leave the campus with the blessing and company of the whole world! You are the century people who travel through time and space! In the future, we embrace warmly together!
students, the epidemic will never be the biggest crisis in your life, every moment of existence, has its meaning. Even if it doesn't, every thought, exploration, attempt, understanding, feeling, and gain gives it meaning.
Now, all we have to do is calm, reflect and communicate as soon as possible after the crisis, find the root causes, sum up experience, guide the future, and learn, explore, improve and perfect in the ruins of every post-war war. A nation that will not reflect, will not learn will not stand in the world, a person who will not think, will not find the problem solved will not be successful.
Bill Gates said of the new crown outbreak: "Life is a cycle, and we are going through a phase of the human cycle. We don't need to panic, everything will be a thing of the past... The new coronavirus is a great corrector, it is to remind us of the important lessons we have forgotten, learn lessons or go it alone, it is up to us."
historical crisis is often an opportunity to nurture innovation, it is also a rare opportunity for everyone to innovate boldly and deploy future changes in the face of crises and new situations. You will survive this period of great sacrifice and great need, and no one will be more energetic and radiant than those of you who have been chosen to face the task of restarting normalization. Today, we're here!
, this outbreak makes you feel the interdependence and importance of the community of human destiny. "Infectious diseases without borders", "viruses do not apply for visas", the accelerated development of the economy, convenient transportation, frequent movement of people and expanding international trade and commerce, so that we are only "one plane away" from any new and sudden infectious diseases.
no country can stand alone in the face of major infectious diseases, and preventing and controlling outbreaks and epidemics of serious infectious diseases is increasingly becoming a global problem that countries around the world, including China, must face.
As Mr. Ma said in his speech at the new University of New York university in Shanghai, "There has never been a shortage of disasters in the history of human development, but few have, as they do today, great unease brewing in the world after disasters." The problems of today's world should not focus on their differences and differences, but should work to put aside their differences and move forward together".
the future prevention and control of infectious diseases, we should pay more attention to information communication and experience sharing between countries, should be committed to building a scientific integrated monitoring and early warning system, the prevention and control of the gate forward, adhere to promote the "building of a community of human destiny."
Students, where the world is headed in the future, and in which direction public health is going, the key lies in you, in the choice of young people and the actions of young people, to find a common direction for the world, which is your responsibility and responsibility. Only those —-- who are "brave and selfless" can accomplish such a task.
Today you graduated from one of China's most authoritative institutions in the field of public health and received your degree at such an extraordinary time in history, and I believe that your destiny will surely have a different mission, and that the world and the country will need your talents and energy, your passion and commitment more than ever before, and I hope you are well prepared to enter such a world." Tomorrow, I must be here!
, this outbreak has allowed you to gain a life experience of tolerance and weight loss. I believe that in the early stages of the epidemic, each of us experienced social and public doubts and even misunderstandings about the work of disease control. This new crown outbreak, as we survive the virus epidemic, but also to overcome the information epidemic.
this society, full of uncertainty, more do not understand, with complaints, information epidemic is also spreading, but also need disease control "fight." Some people in today's society are cloudy, an anger on the lion roar, a blow is not vigil, give some sunlight on the change of hands, to a piece of dark clouds into a soup dog. Students, cheer up the spirit, move forward!
students, venting emotions is instinctive, but silence is practice. In your future journey of life, it is impossible not to be wronged, but it is not easy to do not complain. Working in silence and strength is your only option. In fact, the outbreak is like a mirror, is it a Buddha? Is it a demon? Finally clearly understood.
through this difficult season, some people shine, some people are rusty. We must learn to control our emotions, to speak with facts and truths, so that behind every understatement, are filled with their own all-out efforts. Flowers and applause are not our pursuit. Mr. Rockefeller said, "Just saying no is like a garden full of weeds." Honest people, down-to-earth work is our nature of disease control!
dear students, the dogno of the past does not apply to the wind and rain of the present, we must rise, we must rethink, re-action. I am honored to fight with you in this crisis, to face the wall together, to experience responsibility and responsibility together, and to teach "must" and "last but last".
Really mature people, see themselves clearly, make choices, afford to pay, afford responsibility, the outbreak is like a big test, before the bell rings, we can do is, seriously do a good job can do every question!
dear students, disease control people to ask for heritage. This feeling is where you go in the future, the impact of disease control spread there; But whether your future is a success or a bumpy experience, your alma mater will always be here, with the warmest hug, waiting for you to come back. We have a date in the future!
"Know your times, lead your times", and finally I will be the Master of National Studies Mr. Qianmu these two sentences to you, may you iterate in the crisis upgrade! Match the youngest body with the highest soul!
thank you again for your hard guidance! I wish the graduates all the best! Thank you!
