尊敬的各位来宾，亲爱的老师们、家长们，毕业班的同学们:
我是林圳。作为2019届毕业生代表，欢迎你们的到来，感谢你们和我们一起庆祝这个特殊的日子。
最近在MIT有一个很有意思的场面。那边的学生在一起谈论自己本科的学校。之所以说有趣，是因为除了MIT，哈佛，普林斯顿这些经常听到出现的名字之外，有一个同学说了一个很长的校名 —— 香港中文大学（深圳）。而那个学生，就是我。
今年二月份，我作为香港中文大学（深圳）的本科生收到了包括MIT等多所世界名校的全奖直博录取。
上个月，我受邀去MIT访问。站在曾是梦想的MIT校园里，我回想起前香港中文大学校长沈祖尧教授曾在我获奖证书上写下的“祝前程无限”，回想起徐扬生校长几年前送给我的 “腹有诗书气自华”这句话，回想起我的导师罗智泉教授常在我耳边的鼓励“你要有非常自信的领者风范”，回想起我所做的不懈努力。
高中毕业后，我带着无限的激情，来到香港中文大学（深圳）经管学院，开始了我的大学生活。不过很快，我追求挑战，怀着对数学的浓厚兴趣转到理工学院，成为了我们学校第一个转学院的学生。
在理工学院，我除了将学业成绩追求到极致，我更享受数学课程锻炼思维带给我的乐趣，包罗万象的知识带给了我无限的精彩让我去发掘。我担任本科生教学助理，这让我的英语表达也得到了进一步的提升。我跟着导师在深圳市大数据研究院开始做学术。在这个过程中，我独立攻克难题的能力得到很大提升。在国际会议发表论文，并获邀去美国做学术演讲，让我有机会同国际上顶尖的学者交流。我相信，无论你来自理工学院还是经管学院，你一定也在这里有了四年精彩的经历。
我们很幸运能够在香港中文大学（深圳）就读本科，在这里，我们每个同学的英语真正得到了锻炼，我们跟随大师的脚步培养思辨能力，我们可以真正追求自己的兴趣，多样化的课程让我们全面发展，前瞻的研究机会让我们灵活运用所学知识，不断挑战自己。在这里我们可以享受丰富多彩的大学生活，在这里，教会我们独立，且充实而快乐。
香港中文大学（深圳）毕业生代表林圳发言
大学生涯，给了我们知识和梦想的实现，培养了我们自律和坚韧的品质，赋予我们友善和感恩的情怀。我想在这个非常的时刻，代表同学们，感谢大学，感谢徐扬生校长，感谢每一位教授和老师，感谢一直在背后默默支持我们的父母。我还想特别感谢我的导师罗智泉教授，也想感谢和我一起成长的同学们。我还要代表同学们，祝福我的母校更加美好！
我们即将离开这里，但我们会带着这里满满的收获和美好回忆走向世界。当人们问起我们为何如此优秀时，我们可以骄傲地说出我们的故事，并告诉他们，我们来自香港中文大学（深圳）。
最后，我想跟大家分享我最喜欢的一句话：“不是每个人都可以成为伟人，但是伟大的人可以是任何人。”
现在，让我们再次出发，开启新的旅程吧！

Distinguished Guests, Dear Professors, Teachers, Families, and Fellow Graduates,
Welcome!
I am Lin Zhen. On behalf of the graduating class of 2019, I want to thank you for celebrating this special day with us.
Last month, there was a very interesting phenomenon among the students at MIT. They were talking about where they did their undergraduate studies. As usual, people heard names like MIT, Harvard and Princeton. However, this time, it was a little bit different. There was an incoming PhD student. When people asked him what his undergraduate university was, he said a very long name — The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. That student was me.
This February, as an undergraduate student of CUHK-Shenzhen, I received official offers of admission with full financial award from PhD programs at top universities including MIT.
Last month, I was invited by MIT to visit their campus. When I was standing on the campus of my dream school, what I had in my mind were the words “wish you all the best” that former CUHK President Shen Zuyao wrote on my award certificate, the words 腹有诗书气自华 our president Xu Yangsheng gave me a few years ago, the words my supervisor Prof. Luo Zhi-Quan always said to me: “You should be confident and act as a leader,” and all the efforts I had made.
2019年本科生毕业典礼现场
After high school, I joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen with great passion. My undergraduate journey began at the School of management and economics. I was excited to study how real-world problems could be described by models in economics. Challenge was always one of my key words. I was eager to study much more advanced and amazing theories and applications of math and science! So I decided to transfer to School of science and engineering to pursue my strong interests in mathematics. I was the first student who transferred to another school at our university.
In SSE, besides maintaining top level academic performance, I enjoyed challenging myself with various interesting math courses. Having been working as a Undergraduate Student teaching fellow, I have further improved my English. I have been doing research with my supervisor in Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data and I learned how to tackle difficult problems independently. I felt so lucky because I was able to have exciting discussions with the best scholars around the world when I presented my published paper at an IEEE conference. I believe no matter you are from SSE or SME, you must also have four-year wonderful experiences here.
We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to study at CUHK-Shenzhen. This is the place where we can receive solid training in English and learn to think critically. At CUHK-Shenzhen, we are guided by our interests. The interesting and advanced research projects enable us to be creative, to challenge ourselves and to explore the various possibilities of the world. Thanks to this fast-growing university, we have learned to be independent and to enjoy colorful university life with great happiness.
CUHK-Shenzhen realized our dreams and equipped us with knowledge, self-discipline, persistence, kindness and gratitude. On behalf of my fellow students, I would like to take this special moment to thank our university, President Xu Yangsheng, other professors, teachers and our parents. I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to my supervisor Prof. Luo Zhi-Quan. I also want to thank my fellow students who grew up together with me.
Today, we are about to leave here. You might forget almost everything of my speech. But the gains and fond memories stay with us, in this moment, and into infinity so that when people ask why we are so outstanding, we will be excited to share our stories and we will be proud to tell everyone: we are from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen!
Finally, I would like to share one of my favorite sayings with you “Not everyone can become a great person, but a great person can come from anywhere.”
Now, let’s begin our new journey towards the world! Congratulations, class of 2019!
