President Yangsheng Xu’s Remarks at the Graduation Ceremony for Bachelor Degree Graduates 2026
Prof. Lo, Mr. Huang, dear graduates, colleagues, families, and friends, welcome to the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2026! Today we have 1666 graduates sitting among us here: you are the stars of today. Please join me in giving them a huge round of applause.

Class of 2026, four years ago, I welcomed you to this university at your inauguration ceremony. Back then, this hall was still being built, and I remember your faces marked with awe, wonder, uncertainty, and a little bit of excitement. Over the past four years, more facilities have been added to the campus, and we have a larger community now. The university has grown, and so have you. I believe that through our academic rigor, you have grown in learning, critical thinking, global perspective, and cross-cultural communication. Through college life, student associations, and group projects, both in and beyond the classroom, you have also grown in open-mindedness, resilience, empathy, understanding of the world and of yourselves.
同学们,我还记得四年前在这里欢迎你们的样子,时光飞逝,今天你们已经学有所成,近来我常常收到同学们和我分享的好消息,我很欣喜地得知,在2026届本科毕业生中,大约85%的同学意向继续攻读硕士或博士学位,大部分同学已经拿到了世界最知名大学的录取通知书;约15%的毕业生意向直接就业。你们取得如此优秀的成绩,这是你们不懈奋斗的结果;另一方面,亦是这所大学历届毕业生所获得的认可与声誉的积淀!同学们,这是不容易的!是这所大学把你们推向了世界,也是你们把这所大学推向了世界!让我们为自己鼓鼓掌!
Dear students, your life has just begun. No one is more responsible than you for deciding what kind of life you want to live. This is a question and a challenge for everyone. On this important day, I want to share a simple message: Do not compromise. Do not settle for ease and mediocrity. Do not just get by.
I have often heard young people talking about just making do and settling. Somehow, it has become a common tendency to do things half-heartedly and to compromise because life is difficult, competition is intense, and the future is uncertain. So we give ourselves to a career, a relationship, not because that’s truly what we love, but because that’s immediately available. Instead of working towards an ideal where success is not guaranteed, we settle for what’s merely acceptable. We long for unique and extraordinary life experiences. Yet, under the weight of so-called ‘reality’, we gradually abandon these dreams. We tell ourselves that mediocrity isn’t so bad, and that being just like everyone else is no problem at all.
There is nothing wrong with these ideas in themselves. The problem is accepting them when you are still so young, when you are at an age where you can still be anything you want to be. Let me be clear. I do not mean that you should never adjust, never listen, never negotiate, or never accept reality. Life does require humility. It does require patience. It will require you to recalibrate your goals based on new understanding.
But there is a dangerous kind of compromise that begins quietly. It begins when you say “This is good enough,” even though you know it is not. It begins when you tell yourself “Everyone lives this way,” even though your heart protests. It begins when you say “I should be realistic,” when what you really mean is “I am afraid to try. I am afraid to fail.” Dangerous compromise begins when you choose comfort over courage, and habit over hope. Dear students, this is the compromise I ask you to resist.
同学们,近来和许多年轻的朋友们聊天,我发现在当下的年轻人中间有一种倾向,就是非常善于将就,得过且过——找一个差不多的工作,生活在一个差不多的城市,选一个差不多的男女朋友,过一种差不多的日子……
同学们,在过去的十几年中,你们可能已经习惯了在一条既定的人生轨道上行驶,别人读研我也读,别人进大厂我也投,别人结婚我也相亲,仿佛只要跟着“大多数人”走,就是最正确最稳妥的选择,可我要告诉你们:你们今天毕业了,从现在开始,我们人生的路要靠自己去走,自己的幸福要靠自己去争取。人生不仅是一段生命,人生应该是一段有质量的生命,生命的质量就在于每一天是不是你真正想过的日子。找一份工作,换一个城市,如果是为了幸福,那就应该去争取,不需要妥协,不需要怕人议论。即使对个人生活也是一样的,找对象结婚,如果是为了幸福,那就应该去争取;不找对象不结婚,如果是为了幸福,照样应该去争取;离婚,如果是为了幸福,也应该争取,也应该支持。
人生不是一场由他人设计好程序的游戏,而是一段发现自我的旅程,人生的路要靠自己一步一步走出来。你这一生是不是幸福,是不是成功,不是取决于你是不是聪明,是不是勤奋,而是取决于你是否有使命感、责任感,这种使命感不是对他人、对人类,而是对自己生命的责任感!同学们,在该争取的事上,不要选择放弃,在该奋斗的年纪,不要选择安逸。
同学们,去争取是什么意思?去争取就是要付出行动,歌德说过:“光有知识是不够的,还应当运用,光有愿望是不够的,还应当行动。”我愈来愈发觉有不少年轻朋友“懂得很多,想得很多,做得很少”,世上的事你要去做,才会知道问题在哪里,而不是把所有问题都想清楚了再去做。人生的路是要走起来,你才会看清路如何从茫茫大雾里显露出来,反过来,你如果不去走,看看窗外,永远是茫茫大雾,你会消磨掉时机,消磨掉青春,消磨掉对自己的信任。是的,行动起来,你会痛苦,你会看到一地鸡毛,但那不要紧,同学们,从现在开始,在这个世界上永远有两个“你”,一个在梦里,一个在泥巴里,其他人也一样。我们要在无趣的人生中过着有趣的日子。
你们当中有一位同学,将去一家著名的科技公司任职,我知道他心里有点激动,也有点不安。他的父亲是一位来自浙江的渔民,他对儿子说:“孩子,没有人一出生就知道捕鱼的,世界上没有人不需要每天学习就能把事情做好的。”我想把这位父亲的话转送给各位同学,你要学会每天在泥巴里打滚学习,只有在泥巴中你才可能走到极点,才能在生命的大境界中显出光芒。
最后,让我再次祝福你们,希望你们能够常回家看看!我在大学图书馆的墙上挂着那幅字——“哪怕整个世界都黑暗了下来,这里永远有一盏灯为你亮着”,同学们,再见了!竖起你的脊梁,立定你的脚跟,朝着你的梦想,昂首阔步地向前走去吧!
