尊敬的嘉宾,尊敬的各位家长,亲爱的老师们、同学们:

大家晚上好!

今天我们在这里隆重集会,热烈庆贺东北师范大学附属中学IB国际课程实验班2018届毕业生取得的傲人佳绩。你们经过国际课程三年的锤炼,凭借优异的学业成绩和过硬的综合素质,获得了世界一流大学的垂青,在这里,我谨代表东北师大附中全体师生,向各位毕业生致以最热烈的祝贺!我也要把同样的祝贺献给在座的各位家长,同时也感谢你们对附中国际课程的信任与支持!我还要向国际部的各位老师献上最诚挚的问候,感谢你们兢兢业业的付出!

此刻,欢聚在一起的各位来自亚、非、欧、美等各个地区,拥有不同的文化背景。而我们的毕业生们也将奔赴世界各地、踏上求学以及感受文化差异的旅程,这样的场景可以说是全球化进程的一个典型缩影。

全球化这一词汇诞生于20世纪三十年代,80多年后的今天,全球化进程已经深入到了大家生活的方方面面。从我们使用的生活用品和电子产品,到文化娱乐生活,再到各位同学所享受的国际教育资源,再到我们脑海中诸如地球村万维网国际视野等种种观念与图景,我们享用着全球化带来的便利,我们的思维经历着全球化的洗礼,并习以为常。

地理科学是全球化的基础。大家是不是知道我是学地理、教地理的。地理一词最早见于中国《易经》:仰以观于天文,俯以察于地理,是故知幽明之故。地理学是一门古老的研究课题,曾被称为科学之母。古代的地理学主要探索关于地球形状、大小有关的测量方法,或对已知的区域和国家进行描述。德国博物学者及地理学家洪堡是兴起现代地理学的一位关键人物,他坚信,唯有对大地进行实地测量,人类才能够掌握世界的尺度。他走遍了西欧、北亚、南北美。在南美考察就用了五年,出版了30卷本的《17991804新大陆亚热带区域旅行记》。洪堡最先确定了等温线与等压线的概念。绘制了全球等温线图。他也是研究动植物群落与地球环境关系的先驱。

在地理学家的努力下,地理学的潮流是汇集全球性的地理知识,编绘出越来越完整的世界地图。这些地图在指引勇敢的航海者和追逐利益的资本家航向的同时,也把全球化的图式烙印在人们的思维之中。

牛津大学历史学家卜正民在他的著作中写到:任何地方的历史使我们与每个地方相连,而且最终使我们与整个世界的历史相连,则过去的任何一部分——所有的屠杀与成就——没有一个不是我们的共同遗产。在这个全球化的时代,无人是一座孤岛,无人可以自全。我们可以怀着轻松愉悦的心情去享受全球化带来的无尽丰富的物质和精神资源,也应该对我们生活中的各种物品和现象有足够深刻的理解,才不负这个日新月异的时代。

未来的一带一路建设,需要全球化的视野来拓展亚非欧旧大陆的发展机遇。中国与东欧、中国与东盟、中国与非洲、中国与欧盟,所有的跨区域合作,都需要我们建议在国际理解、求同存异的全球思维中持续发展。人类命运共同体,既是人类发展的共同体,更是人类生命的共同体,我们共同生活在全球化的时代,合作共赢是未来发展的基础认识,和谐共存是持续发展的基本认同。即将站在世界舞台中央的00后,你们是强国一代。

同学们,经过IB课程的学习,你们已经逐渐成长为知识渊博、善于反思、富有共情的全人,而附中勇开风气、兼容并包的校园精神,也是你们坚持理想、追求卓越坚强后盾。

在即将离开附中,走向社会的时候,请记住附中的校训志存高远、学求博深,在未来追求学术的道路上,一定要求真务实、勇于创新,一定要胸怀祖国、心系天下,做世界级的优秀人才。

在即将离开祖国,奔向世界的时候,请记住习近平主席在五四青年节前夕嘱咐广大青年的四个希望要爱国、要励志、要求真、要力行,在未来实现价值的道路上,一定要立报国之志,一定要崇尚真理、知行合一,做新时代的好青年。

最后,再一次祝贺所有毕业生!让我们一同分享你们的喜悦!谢谢大家。

Distinguished guests, Parents, Teachers and students, 

Good evening

 

Today we gather here celebrating the graduation of the class of 2018 and the outstanding results they obtained. After 3 years of hard work, you have won the favor of the most prestigious universities in the world with excellent academic performance and competitive overall qualities. Today, on behalf of all staff and students of HSANNU, I would like to say congratulations to all the graduating students as well as all parents, thanks for your trust and support for our program. Also I would like to give my best regards to all teaching staff in the IB center, thank you for your perseverance in teaching.

 

At this moment, we, people from different geographical regions in the world and of distinctive cultural backgrounds gather together to celebrate this great moment; In the near future, all students sitting here will go to different countries, start a new journey of pursuing knowledge and experiencing exotic culture. This can be seen as a typical miniature ‘globalization’.

 

The term ‘globalization’ was created in 1930s,and Now, 80 years later, this process has pervaded every aspect of our lives from daily commodities and electronic products to culture and entertainment, from the diverse international education resources to the various concepts such as ‘global village’ ,‘website’ and ‘international perspective ’ in our minds. We take the convenience brought by globalization for granted and get used to allowing our minds to be impacted by it. 

 

Geography is a foundation course for globalization. My major in university was geography and I used to be a geography teacher. The Chinese words for geography‘地理’appeared for the first time in one of the classical works I- Ching ( the book of changes), which saysBy astronomical observation and geographical survey people know the mystery/rules of the world. Geography was once considered the mother of all sciences. The focus of ancient geologists was to explore how to measure the shape or size of Earth or how to describe the known regions or countries. Alexander von Humboldt, German naturalist and explorer, was a major figure in founding the modern geography. He advocated long-term systematic geographical measurements and travelled extensively in West Europe, North Asia and Latin America. The surveying of South America alone took him five years, and finally upon these arduous travelling he published a 30-volume set of book named Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of the New continent, During the Year 1799-1804. Not only did he pioneer in defining isotherm, isobar and drawing the map of isotherms, he also led the research on relationships between biome and Earth’s climate. 

 

At that time, geologists were working on the collection of geographical knowledge on a world scale and the completing of a world map. These maps guided the most brave sailors and interest-seeking capitalists to their destinations and branded the patterns of globalization in people’s mind. 

 

Timothy Brook, a history professor in Oxford, wrote in his works: the history of anywhere links us to everywhere, and finally connects us to the history of the world, and any part of the history-any massacre and achievement-is part of our shared heritage. In the era of globalization, no man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. Not only should we happily enjoy such abundant material and spiritual resources brought by globalization, but we should also have sufficient understanding about various subjects and phenomenon around us so that we can live up to this fast changing era. 

 

The construction of the Belt and the Road requires a global perspective to expand opportunities in developing the old Asia, Africa and Europe continent. The seeking of cross-region cooperation, between China and East Europe, China and Africa, China and EU, must be built on the understanding of regional differences and the allowing for disagreements. A community of shared future is not only a community of shared development but also a community of common survival. In the age of globalization, a maintainable long-term development rests on the basic understanding of mutually beneficial cooperation and agreement on a harmonious coexistence. You, who are going to perform in the center of the world stage, will be a generation essential for enhancing our overall strength.

 

IB educates you to be a knowledgeable, reflective, empathetic ‘full man’. HSANNU’s spirit of  ‘leading the ethos, being inclusive and equitable’will always encourage you to stick to your dream and pursue excellence. 

 

Now you are going to leave school and enter the society, I would like to remind you of HSANNU’s motto: aim high, and seek deep learning. On your future journey of learning, please be practical and creative; have our country in mind and the entire world in view.

 

Soon you are leaving China and walk into the world, please remember President Xi’s words: love your country, have a dream, seek the truth, and try hard. On your future journey of proving yourself, please reward our country, respect the truth, and practice your knowledge. 

 

Again, congratulations! All graduating students! Let us share your happiness! Thank you!
