Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

"Classmates, one, two, three, eggplant!"

"Another one, smile more naturally."

"Clap clap..."

Flashes flashed one after another, capturing countless brilliant smiling faces on the film.

Four years of college time flies by.

The years of youth are fleeting.

Several classes of CUHK's Electronic Science and Technology major are taking photos with department leaders and teachers.

Interestingly, Hao Qiang was wearing a graduation T-shirt and sitting in the first row next to the dean.

No one has any objection to this.

After the department photo was taken, many students took photos with Hao Qiang.

This was their only chance to take a photo with Hao Qiang, and it would probably be difficult to get such an opportunity again after graduation.

Hao Qiang stood quietly like a sculpture, forcing a smile and patiently taking photos with his classmates in the department one by one.

The photo marathon lasted nearly an hour.

Fortunately, the photo shoot was scheduled for the morning. If it was later in the day, with the scorching July sun and the heat waves, I'm afraid no one would be able to bear it and wouldn't be able to open their eyes to take pictures.

Today is July 3rd, and I took photos in the morning.

A grand graduation ceremony will be held in the afternoon and degree certificates will be awarded.

I will officially graduate tomorrow.

“What have I gained from my four years of college life?”

These days, Hao Qiang, like other students, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Looking back, he deeply feels that he has benefited a lot from this time.

Although college life is short, it is one of the most precious stages in life.

He made many academic connections and learned how to behave in society, which broadened his horizons. Some of the knowledge he gained was something he could not learn from books.

Over the past four years, the school has helped Hao Qiang with many things.

At two o'clock in the afternoon,

Hao Qiang and his classmates went to the school gymnasium and rented bachelor's gowns from the warehouse, while he took the master's gown.

Bachelor's gowns are black, master's gowns are blue, and doctoral gowns are red.

It is best to wear this dress with a shirt, casual pants and leather shoes.

Otherwise, I would feel ugly after putting on the dress.

"This dress is loose and not easy to wear." After Liu Yang got the dress, he fiddled with it for a long time but still couldn't get it right.

"I just put it on." Mu Shi put it on, looked at himself, and said self-deprecatingly, "Oh, if you're short, this dress really doesn't look good on you."

"Brother Qiang's blue is still the best." Liu Yang was envious. "I don't have a chance, but Wei Ge and Shi Tou still have a chance in three years."

After putting on their formal attire, they walked into the school gymnasium.

This was the graduation ceremony for the class of 2008. The stadium was covered with a red carpet and the auditorium was packed.

Hao Qiang will speak on behalf of undergraduate and graduate students, and is also an alumni representative, sitting on the stage with school leaders.

The school leaders were also embarrassed to let Hao Qiang stand on the sidelines.

I have to say, this is status.

But Hao Qiang’s blue dress was too eye-catching.

Because he was surrounded by school leaders and famous directors, all wearing red dresses.

"Brother Qiang is so cool, he can sit on top and we'll just stand below."

"There's limited space in the venue, so standing room is not an option. It would be nice to be put in the audience seats."

"Damn it! In the past few years, I've seen the principal less than three times: once at the start of the semester and once at graduation."

"Yeah, I'm pretty much the same. I'm doing pretty badly."

"After the ceremony, I'll report to Future Technology Group in a few days. From now on, you'll have to call Brother Qiang the chairman."

"Maybe you only see Brother Qiang a few times a year at Future Technology Group."

"Yes, there's a huge difference in status. Even the school leaders have to be polite to Brother Qiang."

"Not to mention the school leaders, even the powerful Yuecheng government officials treated him with great respect."

The ceremony had not yet begun, and the students in the audience were whispering and discussing.

Some students see the future, while others see an unbridgeable gap.

The graduation ceremony started on time at 2:30 sharp.

The school leaders walked up to the podium and delivered speeches in turn.

When it was Principal Liu's turn, he walked steadily up to the podium and began to deliver his speech.

He concluded by saying, "Over the 84 years since its establishment, CUHK has cultivated countless talented individuals who are capable of great service and shouldering important responsibilities.

Continuously supply high-level talents to the country and society.

The ten-character motto of 'Broad Learning, Inquiry, Prudence, Discernment, and Firm Action' has always inspired CUHK people to uphold the scientific spirit and change the world with practical and effective actions.

At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is profoundly affecting the future of mankind.

This provides a broader stage for CUHK students to achieve their careers.

"Mountains are high and rivers are long" is our common pursuit, which requires the joint efforts of every CUHK student.

I hope that all students will become CUHK students who are patriotic, pragmatic, determined to serve the country, rational, open-minded, proactive, and independent.

Strive to lead the future and actively change the world."

Countless graduates in the audience listened to the principal's words, and felt deep respect for their alma mater.

Whether it is four years for undergraduate study, three years for master's degree, or several years for doctoral study.

Everyone here has experienced a complete transformation.

After Principal Liu finished his speech, the two vice principals spoke one after another.

Then, the host announced in a resounding voice: "Warmly welcome to the stage alumni representatives, undergraduate and master's students representatives, provincial outstanding graduate, first achiever of the 2008 National Technological Invention Award, National Model Worker, National Moral Model, and founder and chairman of Future Technology Group, Hao Qiang."

Hao Qiang's titles of National Model Worker and National Model of Morality are honors he received this year, which are the country's recognition and praise for his outstanding personal performance.

The students in the audience were all in awe when they heard this series of honors.

Hao Qiang created the unprecedented "three consecutive representatives" in the history of CUHK - the most outstanding alumni, undergraduate graduates and master's graduates.

Hao Qiang walked calmly to the podium, gently adjusted the microphone, and spoke sincerely: "I sincerely thank my alma mater for its cultivation. It is CUHK that has given me the power of knowledge and the courage to pursue excellence.

I feel deeply honored and burdened with responsibility to stand here."

"Four years ago, when the college entrance examination scores came out, I was at a crossroads in choosing my next university and ultimately chose CUHK.

It can be said that this is the most important and wisest choice in my life.

I come from an ordinary rural family, but the environment at CUHK and the help from my teachers and classmates have enabled me to grow rapidly.”

Hao Qiang paused, and the teachers and students present gave him warm applause.

He looked around and continued with a determined look, “My fellow students, we are born at the right time.

This is an era full of opportunities and challenges, and new technologies and new industries are reshaping the world.

As CUHK students, we have the responsibility and ability to contribute to this transformation.”

If Hao Qiang was just an ordinary undergraduate student, his words would be ridiculous.

However, Hao Qiang's achievements are so great that given his identity and status, it is more appropriate for him to say this than the principal.

He is qualified to share his theory of success with the teachers and students present.

Today, I would like to share with you three of my experiences:

First, always maintain curiosity and passion for learning.

The world is changing, and only by continuous learning can we keep pace with the times and avoid being eliminated by society.

Second, be brave to innovate and dare to challenge.

Innovation is the driving force behind social progress and is also the responsibility that CUHK students should shoulder.

Third, care about the country and serve the society.

Personal success is closely related to national development, and I hope everyone can closely integrate their personal ideals with the needs of the motherland."

Hao Qiang's three experiences are also a true portrayal of him.

Especially the third point, no one dared to refute it.

The snow disaster and the 512 incident are the strongest proof.

Hao Qiang's words were powerful and passionate.

The graduates in the audience listened attentively, and many of them had a glint of longing in their eyes.

After Hao Qiang finished his speech, the entire auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.

His speech not only inspired every graduate present, but also made them full of confidence and expectations for the future.

There were also media reporters and TV stations at the scene to film and record the event, and CUHK also had a photographer. The school has kept the video as a treasure.

With the end of Hao Qiang's speech, the graduation ceremony entered its final stage.

The principal awarded degree certificates to the graduates, and everyone's face was filled with smiles of pride and joy.

The process was very long, and Hao Qiang received his bachelor's degree and master's degree certificates from Principal Liu.

When the melody of "Graduation Song" sounded, everyone couldn't help but burst into tears, putting a perfect end to the university life that was about to end.

After the ceremony, Hao Qiang was surrounded by many students and teachers, and everyone rushed to take photos with this outstanding alumnus.

After leaving CUHK and returning to the villa, Hao Qiang suddenly received a system prompt.
