On the morning of September 27th, our school held a grand opening ceremony for freshmen of class 2021 in the wind and rain playground of Zhongdu campus.
Li Sijin delivered a speech at the ceremony. On behalf of all the teachers, students and medical staff of the school, he welcomed more than 3300 undergraduate students, more than 2200 graduate students and foreign students from 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions to Shanxi Medical University for further study.
In his capacity as principal, teacher and upperclassman, he raised two expectations of the freshmen. One is to become a person with an independent personality and a complete soul. He hopes that students will think independently, judge independently and adhere to their own principled positions in the process of pursuing the truth, instead of following others and swinging from left to right.
He stressed that only people with good moral qualities such as tolerance, kindness, modesty, trustworthiness, honesty, integrity and bravery can be regarded as having a complete soul. He uses the story of Charlie, the protagonist who insists on integrity and kindness in the film "smell incense and knows Women", to tell his classmates that a person with a complete soul is the most respectable. The second is to be a person with faith and lofty ambition. He enlightens everyone with an allegorical dream in Tolstoy's Confessions. He must have faith, look up, look forward, and look far away. Only in this way can life be meaningful.
He cited a long-term survey of the impact of goal orientation on the growth of young people at Harvard University as an example, emphasizing that "everything is established in advance, and failure without advance is wasted." success is for those who are prepared, reminding students to plan for the future as soon as possible. set clear goals.
He pointed out that as long as students strive to cultivate an independent personality and complete soul, have firm beliefs, set lofty aspirations, and constantly improve themselves morally, their dreams will certainly come true and will become the pillars of the country.
