Chapter 551 1 Years Is Too Long
When the students present saw Principal Gao and many teachers appearing, they immediately stood up and applauded.

The venue burst into applause.

Although it was Su Chen who was going to speak on stage, he was not the first to speak.

Principal Gao walked quickly to the podium and said to the students below: "Everyone, good morning, everyone. There are many students from various departments here today. s student."

"We came to Tsingda University from all corners of the country. Among you, a large number of outstanding students who are hard-working, studious and have outstanding grades have emerged. The achievements have also won the appreciation and recognition of the teachers and students.”

"In recent years, our school has also had many students who went to study in the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union. At the same time, we also hope that more students can go out to increase their knowledge and return to the motherland."

President Gao's voice echoed in the venue: "I also hope that everyone can learn something and use what they have learned. Today, I invite you a student who just graduated from Harvard."

"I believe that when I mention this name, everyone should have the impression that he is not only the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but also a student with perfect scores in TOEFL and GRE. He is also a person who obtained a doctorate from a graduate student within one year."

"Participated in the compilation of books on TOEFL and GRE materials in China, and published "Principles of Economics" and "Macroeconomics" and several economics papers consecutively in just one year abroad.

Moreover, it is the first Chinese published by Harvard as an outstanding graduate, and Harvard makes an exception to allow doctoral students without a supervisor. "

"He is Su Chen!"

Hearing this voice, the students applauded even more enthusiastically.

The scene in front of him made Su Chen feel like he was coming back to pretend. He just wanted to be gilded, and he was still standing on the shoulders of countless people. But for these students, all his achievements depended on his hard work Got it.

Amid thunderous applause, Su Chen came to the podium.

"Student Su Chen, welcome home." Principal Gao shook hands with him.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, the principal, and the students for their applause."

"Then I will leave the rest of the time to you." Principal Gao said, "I hope you can clear up the doubts of these juniors and sisters, and I also hope that you can pass on your learning experience to these students."

"Thank you principal." Su Chen bowed to Principal Gao, and then bowed to the teachers under the podium, "Thank you teachers for your careful teaching in the past."

Then he bowed to the students present: "Thank you all for coming here to listen to my speech."

After bowing, he began to speak.

"Hello, everyone. Some students may have heard of me and have met me, and some students may have never heard of me. Let me introduce myself." Su Chen said: "My name is Su Chen, from Rongcheng, a student of the 80th economics and management class."

"Actually, before coming here, the headmaster told me, why don't you write a speech and tell the students about your learning experience and some things abroad, so that the students can have a general impression."

"But after thinking about it, I decided not to write a manuscript, so today I will speak casually."

"Since I went to university in 80, many students have been studying abroad one after another. One day, my head teacher, Mr. Cheng, came to me and said that there are government-sponsored places to study in the Soviet Union, and asked me if I want to go."

"At that time, what I thought was, isn't the Soviet Union the same as us? Why don't we just go to the United States? Anyway, I have never seen a capitalist country."

The students in the audience couldn't help laughing.

Su Chen continued: "Just in time for TOEFL and GRE to come to our country, I was thinking, what is this? Because I don't have any idea about these two, I just know that if I want to study abroad, I must take the test."

"So I thought, let's take the test, and I don't know what to test in advance, because we haven't had much contact with it, and there is nothing to refer to, so I just think about it by myself, don't care, read English books, don't care about anything English books, we all read."

"Not only to read, but also to be able to memorize it, and it is best to memorize it, so I frantically found books related to English and frantically tutored, but I didn't expect that I got a perfect score in the exam."

"Actually, neither TOEFL nor GRE is as difficult or as simple as everyone imagined. After I finished the test, I discussed with Mr. Cheng and simply wrote some teaching materials related to this aspect. Work hard, compile the teaching materials, and then..."

After talking a little bit about domestic affairs, he changed the subject, "...When I got off the plane with the team leader, Comrade Zhou Aijun, to be honest, I was really surprised at that moment, because the gap between the United States and us did exist. "

"The gap lies in the economy and development, but how long has it been since the founding of the United States? How long has it been since the founding of our new China? How many trials and hardships have we experienced?"

Barabara talked a little bit about the United States, and said: "But I believe that our Chinese nation will be revived, and others will surpass us. This is a fact, and it cannot be denied, but if we don't even have the courage to catch up, then we are the most pathetic. things."

There was another round of applause from the audience.

"Someone once asked me: Su Chen, do you think China can surpass the United States within 100 years?"

"I was surprised and asked him: Why surpass the United States? Why do we have such a goal of 100 years?"

"The great leader once said: 1 years is too long, seize the day!"

"We have been delayed for too long by various internal and external troubles, so we always have an extraordinary sense of urgency and a sense of the times. For time, we are all accustomed to calculating in centuries and millennia."

"How deep is our memory of falling behind and being beaten, and how strong our pursuit of seizing opportunities and grasping the future is. When I first went to school, the professors were worried and wished to hand over everything they knew to us."

"But the sea is formed by trickles and trickles; and epics are also written by hundreds of millions of people stroke by stroke. The new era belongs to everyone, and everyone is the witness and creator of the new era. , builders."

"Only by racing against time can we seize opportunities; only by keeping pace with history can we win the future. Seize the day and live up to the glory!"

"Thank you, students and teachers, this concludes my speech, thank you."

Su Chen bowed to the audience, and saw a flash of light. He didn't expect so many people to bring cameras to the scene.

At the same time, there was another thunderous applause.

Principal Gao came to the stage: "Thank you, Su Chen, for your wonderful speech, and I hope all of you can achieve good results."

Barbara.

Coming out of the venue, several reporters surrounded Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't even expect a reporter to be arranged for a speech.

"Student Su Chen, hello, I'm a reporter from "Beijing Daily". May I ask what is the meaning of your speech in the United States?" a reporter asked.

Su Chen smiled slightly: "I remember I said this, let me say it again, learn from the barbarian's skills to control the barbarian, we don't deny our backwardness, but we must learn with humility, and we must be able to use it flexibly."

"Hello Su Chen, I'm a reporter from Xinhua News Agency." Another reporter asked, "You major in economics. What do you think of the current domestic economy?"

"Opinions? I think Mr. Wu Jinglian is more qualified to talk about this issue than I am. He is a leader in our Chinese economics circle, and he is also an outstanding economist and a famous market economist in contemporary China."

Su Chen smiled and said, "I'm just a postdoctoral fellow, and I've only published two books. I still have a lot to learn from him."

After dismissing these reporters, Su Chen chatted with the teachers for a while, and then left directly after having a meal in the cafeteria.

The donation mentioned earlier has been credited to the account, and he doesn't need to come back to class now, but in the capital, he doesn't seem to have much to do.

Many people were busy, but he seemed to be very busy, he almost took a birdcage and went out for a stroll.

Going back to the magazine office to chat with Xue Yu for a while, originally he wanted to go south to see the film and television city, but now Xue Yu was pregnant, and Zhao Dongmei didn't come back, so he was worried.

……

In the evening, I saw newspaper reports about his speeches and photos of him.

It looks awesome.

During the meal, Xu You said: "Su Chen, these few words of yours are very good, very inspiring, 1 years is too long, seize the day!"

"He, he is called Teacher Su." Xue Yu said with a smile, "Anyway, I have heard many stories about him giving lessons to others, and I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured on them."

Then he said: "I see that you are wandering around all day, why don't you help me find the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", didn't you take a lot of photos of them before?

Now go and take a few more photos, otherwise there will be no photos left when the magazine is released in the future, and it is also close to the capital, you can come back after two or three days. "

"Okay." Su Chen naturally had no objection, he owed Xue Yu too much, so he did more things for Xue Yu while he had nothing to do.

After Zhao Dongmei came back, Su Chen told her that Xue Yu was pregnant now, so she should pay more attention, don't take her to work by bicycle, and take the bus when going out.

After explaining everything about the capital, Su Chen went to Zhengding, because the crew is filming there now.

The main reason is that it is close to the capital, so you can come back in time if you have something to do.

……

Going around, when Su Chen came to the guest house of the film crew with his luggage, he saw the director Wang Fulin and Ren Dahui with sad faces, and the cigarette butts in Wang Fulin's hand were almost burnt, so he was directly circled.

"What are you doing? There's a lot of smoke in the house, I thought there was a fire in the house."
