Tang's speech at the graduation ceremony
Children, our old director, our old headmaster and our old teacher, together with us, witnessed the exciting moment when you graduated from Wuxi and Kuangyuan after three years of study.
I sincerely say, son, these three years have been really hard for you! I have been a teacher since 1980, and it has been 42 years now. I have never seen any student encounter an epidemic since the first year of high school, and it is still accompanied by an epidemic in the third year of high school.
In the past three years, you have experienced difficulties that ordinary people have never encountered, but you have overcome them. You're here, and I think this will also be an asset in your life. I have been working for 42 years. I remember that 1984' s college entrance examination mathematics is particularly difficult. At that time, the average score in Jiangsu was only 36. I remember that mathematics was particularly difficult in 2003, when our school just moved here.
It never occurred to me that there is such a rule in history that mathematics is difficult every few years, so mathematics is particularly difficult in 2022. But in the face of difficult mathematics, what I see is that after you come out of the examination room, your faces are still full of confidence; What I see is that there are melodious piano music downstairs in the dormitory at night, which is really not easy.
It is not only your character, but also your key ability to get out of the challenge of difficult problems quickly and respond to the next day's exam with a brand-new attitude.
