This should be the most beautiful season of the year in Fudan. The golden leaves are falling gracefully, the refreshing autumn wind gently blows through the lawn, and the pools in Xiyuan and Yanyuan are also slightly swollen. A clear luster. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, this is the sixth autumn I have spent in Fudan. Six years ago, I walked into Fudan Garden with great admiration and looked at every corner of this school with joy and curiosity; it was also six years ago that I was honored to become a member of the Huaying family and reaped the rewards. The hard-earned honor also carries a heavy mission and responsibility. "We hope that the children of our hometown will be able to cultivate both morality and intelligence, work hard, and strive to achieve the future and build the nation." This is the sincere teaching and ardent expectation of Mr. Yu Jizhong, the founder of the Huaying Education Foundation, and it is also an exquisite summary of the Huaying spirit. In my opinion, the encouragement and impact of the Huaying Scholarship on each award-winning student has gone far beyond the material level of scholarship. Its unique tracking annual review system and regular exchange activities have inadvertently created a summit for Changwu students. forum. Every year when I return to the Huaying gathering during the winter vacation, there are always some Huaying student representatives who introduce their study and work experiences to share with everyone. And every time after attending the gathering, I always find that I still have many shortcomings, and I also gain a lot of opportunities to move forward. Motivation and methods. In fact, it was Huaying and the many outstanding students gathered under the Huaying brand that inspired me to go through four years of undergraduate study and the three years of graduate school that are about to end. As my college life is about to come to an end, the teachers at the Huaying Foundation hope that I can sort out my college life and have the opportunity to communicate with my junior brothers and sisters. In fact, I have also listened to other people's successful experiences along the way. The following words are by no means exciting enough to summarize learning rules and methods, nor arrogant enough to provide any suggestions. I just feel that they are my own experiences and insights. Talk to everyone.

Believe that you can do it, and believe that you can’t do it if you don’t work hard.

In 2000, I came to Fudan, the "No. 1 University in Jiangnan" that I dreamed of. At that time, the halo of being the top liberal arts student in Changzhou City in the College Entrance Examination had gradually faded, and I told myself that everything would start from scratch. Moreover, the classmates and classmates around me are all elites from various provinces and cities, so I must keep a low-key mentality and start from scratch. However, the difficulties encountered were somewhat unexpected, and English was the first obstacle. Although I passed the English entrance exam and was placed in the fast class, I immediately noticed the gap with my classmates in Shanghai as soon as I started speaking. Since I had long been focused on written English, oral expression became a weakness. In English class, I watched my classmates from Shanghai chatting and answering questions fluently with their teachers, and I felt envious and anxious at the same time. "Believe that you can do it, and believe that you can't do it if you don't work hard." Whenever I feel down and hesitant, this motto from Teacher Chen Yuping of No. 1 Middle School always makes me see hope and regain my confidence. Yes, although I am temporarily lagging behind, I have the time and opportunity to catch up: if others take one step, I will take one and a half steps. One day, the gap will become smaller and smaller until it disappears. After passing the college entrance examination with thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, what small stones can't be moved away? It is with this mentality that I started to get busy: seizing every little moment to expand my vocabulary, and insisting on listening to English I watched radio and English TV programs, imitated the pronunciation of the announcer, and read and recited the text aloud... In addition, I also organized an English corner with several English enthusiasts in the class to find some topics that everyone cared about, or debate Or discuss, relaxed and happy, during the communication process, some concise and wonderful expressions of other students can be absorbed by me and used by me. After one semester, my way of expression has become much richer without realizing it, and my oral expression has become much smoother. In English class, I am gradually willing to express my own opinions. Since then, consolidating and improving my English skills has been a constant task for me. Through my own efforts, I finally obtained the "Shanghai Advanced Interpretation Qualification Certificate", one of Shanghai's urgently needed talent projects. In fact, the certificate itself may not have much meaning. Through my solid efforts, I finally obtained it. The real value of this certificate lies in actually improving your English proficiency. In 2005, my teammates and I went to Hong Kong to participate in the 3rd Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Moot Court Competition on behalf of Fudan University. The pleadings and court oral arguments were all completed in English, and we faced many participating teams from English-speaking countries. , our performance has been highly praised by the competition organizing committee. Now, I am an intern at the Shanghai representative office of an international law firm. My usual working language is English. However, because I have always attached great importance to English in college, I feel comfortable at work, and my work achievements have been recognized and approved by my colleagues. . Looking back on the hesitation and confusion I felt back then, I deeply feel once again that turning points often lie in the effort of persisting a little longer.

Think a little earlier than others and do it a little faster than others.

It is said that the early bird catches the worm, which makes sense when you think about it. In real life, thinking quickly, acting quickly, and seizing the opportunity often establishes a leading advantage. In fact, it is not difficult to put it into practice on a personal level. The key lies in planning in advance. For example, during the holidays, you can make a comprehensive plan for yourself in the next semester, including which books to read, which issues to focus on, what goals to achieve, how to allocate time for study and work, etc. .

The advantage of planning in advance is that, firstly, you can have a good idea and you will not be in a hurry when many matters are unfolded; secondly, you can make relevant preparations in advance so that you can seize the opportunity once it comes. I remember that when I was a sophomore, I basically decided to continue studying for a master's degree after graduating from my undergraduate degree. Therefore, striving for direct research became my goal. At that time, many classmates in the class were still immersed in the free atmosphere of the university and enjoying life to the fullest. Because I am very interested in international law, in addition to the basic knowledge introduced by the teacher in class, I often spend time in the library and law school reference room to conduct in-depth research on various fields of international law. Hard work paid off. When other students began to worry about taking the postgraduate entrance examination or finding a job at the end of their junior year, my usual steady efforts gave me a great gift - I was successfully recommended to Fudan Law School to study for a master's degree in international law. During my studies, when everyone was blindly focusing on theoretical research, I began to realize that truly outstanding legal talents should have comprehensive qualities and abilities. In addition to theoretical research abilities, practical abilities and the ability to communicate with others are also indispensable. Therefore, I actively participated in various student work, summer social practice, court and law firm internships. My efforts have not been in vain. I have been rated as one of the three best students of Fudan University, an outstanding league member of Fudan University, and an outstanding undergraduate graduate of Fudan University. I have received school scholarships every year and been awarded scholarships by three well-known law firms in Shanghai (Jones Day International Legal Scholarship). , Baker McKenzie International Legal Scholarship, Quan Ya Inspirational Scholarship). I'm not a very smart person, I just keep thinking and keep trying.

Good at sharing and good at learning.

Remember there is a fable, the general idea is that if you have ten apples, never keep them to yourself. You can keep just one for yourself and give the other nine to others. Although it seems at first glance that you have lost nine apples, when others have bananas, grapes, and pineapples, they will also think of you. In this way, you not only get your own apples, but also bananas, grapes, pineapples, and ultimately you can taste ten different flavors. In fact, the same is true for college life. Whether you are studying or working, being good at communicating with others, getting support from others, and learning the strengths of others are also a magic weapon for getting twice the result with half the effort. I still remember that in 2003, in preparation for the first "Li-Li Cup" national moot court competition, my teammates and I had a heated debate. Everyone expressed their opinions without reservation and discussed all possible issues in advance. "Exposed", in order to make the indictment and defense flawless, the wording has been modified almost to the extent of picking out words. After intense brainstorming, we finally stood on the podium of the Best Letter Award. I still remember that when I was working in the student union, I came into contact with many students from other departments. Perhaps because I have studied law for a long time, my angles and entry points for analyzing and solving problems have gradually formed a fixed pattern. However, in communicating with students from other departments such as the School of Economics, School of Management, School of Journalism, etc., I can always easily find the shining points in their thinking styles and methods of doing things. I can learn from others' strengths to make up for my own shortcomings. In fact, learning is really a task that occurs everywhere and at all times. Watch more, listen more, and learn more. I feel happy that I have grown. While serving as the Minister of Literature and Art Department and the Minister of Life Department of the Student Union, I successfully organized the first national campus sitcom competition, the first Fudan University Freshman Star Competition, the Shanghai Station of the World University Games Torch Relay Ceremony, etc., and was responsible for managing the Fudan University campus service network. , serving as host of many large-scale evening parties and conferences inside and outside the school, etc. The broadened horizons and positive attitude formed in social work in turn allow me to devote myself to my studies with confidence, so that I can always find a balance between academics and social work.

Learn to be grateful.

I always feel that I am really lucky. I can’t get to where I am today step by step and realize my dreams one after another, and I cannot do without the help of many people. Therefore, learning to be grateful makes me cherish everything I have now, and it also makes me understand that hard work is not just for myself. I would like to thank Mr. Yu Jizhong. Although he has left Hexi, the Huaying spirit he left behind is still inspiring future generations in Changwu. I would like to thank the teachers at the Changzhou Huaying Education Foundation. It is they who I am willing to devote myself to the cause of Huaying in obscurity. Every time I see the teachers’ temples bleached by time and weather-beaten smiling faces, and hear the chatter of the teachers who often go home to visit, I will be easily moved; I am also I would like to thank my alma mater, Changzhou No. 1 Middle School, which has just celebrated her eightieth birthday, and it is from there that I started, approached knowledge and matured; finally, I have to thank my parents for helping me It seems that they have extraordinary courage and wisdom in life. My mother retired from home eight years ago due to health reasons, and my father retired three years ago due to the restructuring of his work unit. I can’t imagine how they could still keep my good feelings in my heart during the most difficult time. Life is full of confidence and hope... Therefore, only by working hard will I not let down those people who I am grateful for, and will I not leave any regrets in my grateful heart.

“Excellence is a habit.” I would like to encourage all Chinese and English students with this famous saying of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.

I often think that in three, five, or ten years, when more and more Huaying people are active on various fronts in the construction of the motherland, how proud Huaying and Huaying people will be!

I sincerely wish that the branches of Huaying will flourish and the spirit of Huaying will flourish!
