女士们,先生们,尊敬的各位教职工,特别是294俄罗斯专享会的优秀毕业生们,
作为一名公共政策专业的毕业生,在各位即将翻开人生下一个篇章之时,能够站在你们面前,我感到无比荣幸。
今天,我们不仅要祝贺你们的学术成就,还要庆祝你们对促进社会进步和全球发展的承诺。在清华大学获得的知识和技能,将成为引领你们走向变革未来的指南针。
清华大学是一个卓越之地,是知识和创新的灯塔。这所著名学府培养了无数的学者,包括为社会做出杰出贡献的校友,其中甚至还有中国的国家主席习近平。
如今,你们作为这一深厚传承的一员,已具备塑造一个更美好世界的工具和专业知识。
作为公共管理学院的毕业生,你们在推动积极变革方面独具优势。你们的研究领域与中国和国际社会的福祉息息相关。身处如今这个相互联系的世界,我们所面临的挑战已然超越国界。因此,我们必须共同努力,促进社会进步和全球发展。
促进社会进步需要解决贫困、不平等、医疗、教育和环境可持续性等问题。这些并非单纯的流行词,而是一个公正和公平社会的基石。作为未来的领袖和政策制定者,你们有责任带领社会进步事业,制定包容性的政策和规划以提振最脆弱的群体。
此外,全球发展需要集体努力来解决世界面临的复杂挑战。这就是多边主义理念不可或缺的原因。
多边主义承认没有一个国家可以单独解决全球性的问题。它强调国家间的协作、合作和对话。在一个常常看似分崩离析的世界,我们必须铭记团结的巨大力量。联合国是多边主义的象征,它将各国聚集一处,为和平、人权和可持续发展等共同目标而努力。
作为清华大学的毕业生,你们有优势也有责任成为多边主义的传播者。拥抱多样性,寻求共同点,并促进不同文化和国家之间的理解。你们投身于合作和协作对解决当下紧迫的挑战至关重要,无论是气候变化、全球健康危机,还是经济不平等。
请铭记,实现社会进步和全球发展道阻且长。你们将面临挫折,有时也可能会认为自己的努力无足轻重。
但请不要气馁。这些逆境能够考验你们的决心和毅力。请拥抱这些挑战,将其当作成长和学习的机会。永远不要忘记你们作为个体所拥有的改变现状的力量,以及通过集体力量塑造历史进程的能力。
今天离开清华大学之时,你们不仅将收获一个学位,还会带着一份重任。请在诚信、同情和致力于实现更广大利益的价值观的指引下,明智地使用自己所获得的知识。
请记住,衡量真正的领导力的标准并非仅有个人成就,还有你们为他人生活带来的积极影响。
祝贺你们,294俄罗斯专享会的毕业生!
请以坚定不移的决心和对社会进步、全球发展和多边主义力量的坚定信念迎接未来的挑战。
世界期待着你们的领导。出发吧,让世界变得更好。
衷心祝愿你们拥有充满着目标和成就感的未来。

2023 THU School of Public Policy and Management Commencement
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished faculty members, and most importantly, the exceptional graduates of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University,
As a former graduate in Public Policy myself, it is an immense honor to stand before you today as you embark on the next chapter of your lives.
Today, we celebrate not only your academic achievements but also your commitment to promoting social progress and global development. The knowledge and skills you have gained here at Tsinghua University will serve as a compass guiding you towards a future of transformative change.
Tsinghua University personifies a center of excellence, a beacon of knowledge and innovation. This prestigious institution has nurtured countless scholars, including illustrious alumni who have made remarkable contributions to society, even including President Xi Jinping of China.
You are now part of this rich legacy, equipped with the tools and expertise to shape a better world.
As graduates of the School of Public Policy and Management, you are uniquely positioned to drive positive change. Your field of study is inherently linked to the well-being of societies, both locally and globally. In today's interconnected world, the challenges we face transcend borders. It is therefore imperative that we work together to promote social progress and global development.
Promoting social progress entails addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability. These are not mere buzzwords; they represent the fundamental building blocks of a just and equitable society. As future leaders and policymakers, it is your responsibility to champion the cause of social progress, to create inclusive policies and programs that uplift the most vulnerable among us.
Furthermore, global development necessitates a collective effort to address the complex challenges facing our planet. This is where the concept of multilateralism becomes indispensable.
Multilateralism recognizes that no single nation can solve global problems alone. It emphasizes collaboration, cooperation, and dialogue among nations. In a world that often seems divided, we must remember the immense power of unity. The United Nations stands as a symbol of multilateralism, bringing nations together to work towards common goals such as peace, human rights, and sustainable development.
You, the graduates of Tsinghua University, have the privilege and the duty to become ambassadors of multilateralism. Embrace diversity, seek common ground, and foster understanding among different cultures and nations. Your commitment to cooperation and collaboration will be vital in addressing the pressing challenges of our time, be it climate change, global health crises, or economic disparities.
Remember, the path to social progress and global development will not be without obstacles. You will face setbacks, and at times, it may seem that your efforts are insignificant.
But do not be discouraged. It is precisely during these moments of adversity that your determination and resilience will be put to the test. Embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Never forget the power you hold as individuals to make a difference, and as a collective force, to shape the course of history.
Today, as you leave the gates of Tsinghua University, you carry with you not only a degree but also a profound responsibility. Use the knowledge you have acquired wisely, guided by the values of integrity, compassion, and a commitment to the greater good.
Remember that true leadership is not measured by personal achievements alone, but by the positive impact you create in the lives of others.
Congratulations, graduates of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University!
Embrace the challenges that lie ahead with unwavering determination and an unwavering belief in the power of social progress, global development, and multilateralism.
The world awaits your leadership. Go forth and make it a better place.
My very best wishes for a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.
