The biggest difference from the opening ceremony is that there are not many people attending the graduation ceremony.
From a freshman who obediently obeys the organization's arrangements, to a senior who has gone through many hardships and entered the society, the gap is more than just four years of college.
It means that the protective color called "student" that has marked the entire youth is about to disappear.
It is already a consensus that one should be called a social person after graduating from college.
From this moment on, the days of my twenties that were supposed to be carefree were filled with the lies of "it will be easy after going to college", the fantasy of "at least you can find a job after graduating from college", and the fantasy of "you can get into the spotlight as long as you work hard."
"The belief will repeatedly collide with the unreasonable reality of life.
When the bubble burst, I realized that the happy ending I had been looking forward to might not exist.
Children used to yearn to grow up and left the novice village of childhood in a hurry. After that, they could never return to the carefree time.
Not everyone can accept this calmly.
Therefore, many people are unwilling to go out even if they have not found a job. The number of graduates who come specifically to attend college graduation ceremonies is always more than half that of the opening ceremony.
But in order to make the scene beautiful, counselors from each college will always think of ways to fill up the auditorium.
But among the graduates of this class, how many are willing to run from bed to the gymnasium, listen to boring leadership speeches, and go through the process to get the number of people attending the event?
It's not like the opening ceremony that everyone pays attention to. At least you can see how good the new students are, adding a bit of freshness to the ordinary life.
"The twin towers are high, and the flowers are blooming. My campus is by the south lake. Willows are lingering, and the clear water is rippled. Here is my green young man..."
The familiar melody of the school anthem sounded, and graduates in bachelor's uniforms and a large number of uninvited spectators formed a crowd and continued to pour into the gymnasium.
On the first floor of the gymnasium, a huge sign reads: The graduation song begins, and youth will travel far away - the scene of the graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony of the 2014 graduates.
This graduation ceremony was also the first time that Nanhu University broadcast the entire ceremony live to teachers, students, alumni and parents at the same time, and it was held simultaneously online and offline.
Before the official start time, the stadium was already packed.
"Secretary Hua, if you please, you can go backstage to rest first."
The young girl with the school league committee staff logo hanging on her chest raised her hand to guide the visiting leaders in front of her.
"Don't be so polite in school, just call me senior."
The leader was Hua Shiyuan, who was invited to attend the graduation ceremony of his alma mater on behalf of the Youth League Committee of Donghu High-tech Zone.
She looks exactly the same today as she did in the student union a few years ago.
A set of simple business attire, a white shirt, and a black slim-fitting skirt on the lower body, the length just reaches the knees, suitable for the scorching summer weather.
She put on a little makeup, and her shoulder-length short hair had just been trimmed, revealing her delicate neck, showing off her capable and neat side.
Following the guidance of the staff, Hua Shiyuan walked into the reception room on the first floor of the gymnasium and skillfully greeted the leaders present.
"Principal Liu, long time no see~"
"Secretary Deng~"
As an outstanding graduate representative and president of the student union, Hua Shiyuan established a good relationship with the school leaders during her time in school. After graduation, she entered the system and became the main leader of the Youth League Committee, and her personal relationship became even more close.
"Look at our Xiaohua, she has really transformed into a woman. She has become more and more elegant in the few years since she graduated."
Principal Liu Jinlin turned his head, smiled and took a sip of the tea in front of him, and responded to Hua Shiyuan.
Besides him, there was a young man on the main seat, winking at Hua Shiyuan.
"Indeed, senior sister looks much younger than when she was in school. Otherwise, this system still supports people."
Gu Yun made a pun.
"Hahahahaha, you young people are still good at talking."
Liu Jinlin smiled and waved his hand. After receiving the signal from the staff, he stood up and walked towards the door of the reception room: "Let's go, Xiao Gu, it's almost about to start."
The guests and leaders returned to the gymnasium and took their seats. Amidst warm applause, the graduation ceremony of Nanhu University kicked off with the graduation commemorative film "Youth Track, Dream Chapter".
Each picture and scene records the passing of time and the passing of stars; each lake and one tower carries the green years of countless Nanhu students.
“This documentary is of great quality!”
"Wow, this editing, these special effects..."
"No, does our school's Propaganda Department have this level of quality?"
"Don't you understand? This term's head of the propaganda department has a very good relationship with the assistant to the chairman of the Paradise Group. His resources and connections are nothing but trivial matters!"
The documentary was produced by the Propaganda Department of the Student Union of Nanhu University. It is of extremely high quality and has attracted praise from many viewers.
After reviewing the wonderful moments in college, the students straightened their clothes and sang the national anthem together to welcome the most beautiful moment of their lives.
"I didn't expect that our school's graduation ceremony could be broadcast live. Was it you who arranged it?"
Hua Shiyuan and Gu Yun were sitting side by side in the front row. When it was the leader's turn to read the manuscript, she quietly came over and asked.
"I guess He Xuan asked someone to do it..."
Gu Yun shrugged, indicating that he had no idea at all.
[Facing the new journey of life that is about to begin, I sincerely hope that the students will light up the lights in their hearts, have stars in their eyes, hold sharp weapons in their hands, and have spring mud on their soles, so that they can accelerate on the track of youth and achieve good results...]
[... Hua Shiyuan, an outstanding graduate of the class of 2012, gave up her high-paying job and resolutely went to the grassroots to serve as the first secretary. This is an example of us moving forward with firm ideals and beliefs. ]
After taking stock of outstanding graduates from previous years, the staff also specially rotated the photos in the ppt behind them.
"Isn't there a big difference between your photo and other people's painting styles?"
Gu Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw the photo of Hua Shiyuan in Yingshan County on the screen.
Compared with the relatively hard daily work of other graduates, this daily photo that flaunts Hua Shiyuan's roots in the grassroots is a little different.
In the photo, Hua Shiyuan is wearing a round hat and is chatting with the staff around her about the specific matters of growing coffee in the field.
But the girl's cheeks, fair and delicate skin, and outfit details were too clearly magnified by the camera.
This doesn’t look like grassroots cadres working hard in the fields?
"Then what can I do?"
Hua Shiyuan curled her lips, looking helpless.
"People say that we should find a photo that is more down-to-earth in the fields. I don't have a photographer in Yingshan County, so this is the one that looks down-to-earth."
"But you... seem to have a pretty face, who took the photo?"
Gu Yun asked casually.
"What do you think? If I have nothing to do, why should I go to a plantation? Besides her, who else can take pictures of me?"
Hua Shiyuan fanned the hot air in the wind with her hand and gave Gu Yun a hard look.
"Oh oh oh... the picture is okay, not bad."
Gu Yun laughed awkwardly a few times and scratched his head before he reacted.
No wonder the style is so different from most promotional photos, and the girl in the field can be photographed so delicately.
This photo turned out to be produced by Wenju!
[True love is the source of strength for youth to run forward on the track. With true love in the heart, all mountains and seas can be leveled. I hope that in the days to come, the students will run forward with love in their hearts and be their best selves in every role. 】
While talking and laughing, Principal Liu Jinlin’s speech ended, followed by speeches from various representatives.
