2025年6月7日，在北師香港浸會(huì)大學(xué)（BNBU）第十七屆畢業(yè)典禮暨榮譽(yù)院士頒授典禮上，校長(zhǎng)陳致教授以三個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞和三位校友的故事，向畢業(yè)生們闡釋了BNBU賦予學(xué)子們的深刻烙印——選擇·鉆研·創(chuàng)意。致辭視頻和全文如下：
尊敬的各位嘉賓、家長(zhǎng)，親愛的同學(xué)們：
大家好！
今天和大家相聚，慶祝BNBU
2025屆的同學(xué)畢業(yè)，作為校長(zhǎng)心里滿是感慨。此刻我要向每一位畢業(yè)生致以最真摯的祝賀，也借此機(jī)會(huì)特別感謝兩所母體學(xué)校、全體教職工、支持我們的家長(zhǎng)，以及所有為學(xué)校發(fā)展傾注心血的朋友們，你們堅(jiān)定支持，是我們前行的力量。
親愛的同學(xué)們，今天我想跟大家分享幾個(gè)校友的故事，聊聊BNBU想賦予你們的是什么，希望它們能夠伴隨你們一生。
第一個(gè)故事：關(guān)于“選擇”。
今年在迪拜，我遇到了一位校友。她在北師港浸大讀的是國(guó)際新聞專業(yè)，畢業(yè)后卻做了一個(gè)不循常規(guī)的選擇——她放棄了美國(guó)和英國(guó)諸多名校的研究生就讀機(jī)會(huì)，轉(zhuǎn)而去阿聯(lián)酋航空當(dāng)了空乘。入職后的兩年間，她飛遍除南極洲以外的每一個(gè)大洲，在云端體驗(yàn)生命的遼闊，但她內(nèi)心始終渴望更大的挑戰(zhàn)。
2018年3月，她做了個(gè)更“大膽”的決定：辭去工作，獨(dú)自飛往南非接受飛行培訓(xùn)，考取商業(yè)飛行駕駛員執(zhí)照。有人說她“折騰”，但她卻說：“我喜歡駕駛飛機(jī)在天上馳騁的感覺，這是我真正想做的事�！比缃�，她已成為一名女飛行員，駕駛著飛機(jī)穿梭于世界各地，在萬里云端書寫著自己的人生。
她的故事讓我們看到：人生最可貴的，不是按別人的期待走一條“穩(wěn)妥的路”，而是知道自己要什么，并且有勇氣去追尋。BNBU教大家數(shù)學(xué)、會(huì)計(jì)、人工智能、傳播學(xué)、語言、藝術(shù)等專業(yè)知識(shí)，但更希望你們學(xué)會(huì)“選擇”——不管做什么，都別丟了心里那個(gè)“真正的自己”。在人生的道路上，在不同的時(shí)期、不同的臨界點(diǎn)，你們總會(huì)面臨不同的選擇。BNBU教會(huì)你們的不是選擇別人期望你走的路，而是走一條在你心中最適合自己的路。
第二個(gè)故事：關(guān)于“鉆研”。
去年我去波士頓出差時(shí)，見到了一位專門研究非洲地緣政治和文化的校友。他本科畢業(yè)于我們學(xué)校人文社科學(xué)院，畢業(yè)后憑借扎實(shí)的學(xué)術(shù)基礎(chǔ)，拿到了耶魯大學(xué)的錄取通知書，攻讀東亞研究碩士和政治學(xué)博士。他的研究聚焦華人華僑在非洲參與國(guó)家獨(dú)立斗爭(zhēng)的歷史。為了加深對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)匚幕驼巫兏锏牧私猓３＊?dú)自前往撒哈拉以南的非洲國(guó)家，在艱苦的環(huán)境中開展田野調(diào)查。
當(dāng)我們?cè)趧蚴械男〔宛^見面時(shí)，他穿著洗得發(fā)白的舊襯衫，眼里閃著光芒，他說：“在BNBU上的每一堂跨文化課程、寫的每一篇論文，都教會(huì)我用‘全球視角’看世界。如今我只是把課堂上的‘好奇心’變成了一生的志業(yè)。”
從他身上我們看到：真正的鉆研，不是為了考試或文憑，而是把某個(gè)領(lǐng)域的“火種”，燃成照亮世界的“火炬”。這，就是BNBU想讓你們擁有的“學(xué)術(shù)韌性”。
第三個(gè)故事：關(guān)于“創(chuàng)意”。
在創(chuàng)業(yè)領(lǐng)域，我們一個(gè)校友團(tuán)隊(duì)創(chuàng)立的“極簡(jiǎn)匯率”，已成為具有國(guó)際影響力的專業(yè)匯率服務(wù)平臺(tái)。2018年，我們的一位校友注意到外籍老師和留學(xué)生在換匯中碰到一些困難，于是拉著幾位校友，一頭扎進(jìn)了跨境金融科技領(lǐng)域。他們?cè)谥楹ｄ堪膷u改造一間舊樓，創(chuàng)建了自己的辦公樓，白天跑銀行談合作，晚上窩在沙發(fā)上寫代碼，硬是開發(fā)出一套“實(shí)時(shí)追蹤全球匯率、零手續(xù)費(fèi)跨境轉(zhuǎn)賬”的系統(tǒng)。
如今，極簡(jiǎn)匯率不僅成為留學(xué)生和外貿(mào)企業(yè)的重要工具，還在中國(guó)香港，以及新加坡、馬來西亞、印度尼西亞設(shè)立了分部。團(tuán)隊(duì)里很多成員都是BNBU校友。去年校慶，他回學(xué)校分享時(shí)說：“創(chuàng)業(yè)最艱難的時(shí)候，我常想起學(xué)校的‘創(chuàng)新工作坊’——老師教我們用‘用戶思維’解決問題。原來最好的創(chuàng)意，不是憑空想象，而是蹲下來，看看大家腳下的‘坑’。”
這個(gè)故事告訴我們：創(chuàng)意不是天才的專利，而是用“同理心”發(fā)現(xiàn)問題，用“執(zhí)行力”解決問題。這，就是BNBU想讓你們擁有的“創(chuàng)新基因”。
這些故事背后，藏著學(xué)校的“育人密碼”。三個(gè)故事里的主人公，有的在選擇中果敢，有的在學(xué)術(shù)中深耕，有的在創(chuàng)業(yè)中突破，他們身上都有BNBU自立自強(qiáng)的“烙印”。在我們這屆同學(xué)中，是不是也處處有著這些“烙印”呢？回答是肯定的！在你們當(dāng)中，我欣喜地看到，有的同學(xué)以扎實(shí)的專業(yè)成績(jī)和創(chuàng)新的科研精神，在各自的學(xué)科領(lǐng)域探索前沿；有的同學(xué)巧妙平衡代碼與音樂的雙重?zé)釔�，憑借跨學(xué)科的融合與不懈努力，成就自己；有的同學(xué)用系統(tǒng)筆記構(gòu)筑知識(shí)基石，借豐富實(shí)踐搭建職業(yè)階梯；還有的同學(xué)勇敢打破專業(yè)邊界，在支教、傳媒實(shí)習(xí)與學(xué)術(shù)研究中不斷探索，成功邁向自己夢(mèng)想的學(xué)校去深造；有的同學(xué)選擇創(chuàng)業(yè)，果敢地繪制自己的藍(lán)圖；有的同學(xué)選擇步入社會(huì)，以實(shí)干精神投身到祖國(guó)的建設(shè)中。
親愛的同學(xué)們，你們或則振翮高飛，或則積蓄力量，無論是在厚積薄發(fā)中尋找契機(jī)，還是在靜默沉淀中孕育鋒芒，你們都在用自己雙手去編織自己的理想。你們的故事是對(duì)BNBU教育理念的生動(dòng)詮釋，也將激勵(lì)每一個(gè)后來者勇敢追夢(mèng)，在未來的道路上閃耀自己的光芒。
從今天起，你們多了一個(gè)身份——BNBU校友。所謂BNBU，就是Be Novel， Be
Unique，或者說Be Novel，Be
You。不管以后是讀研、工作，還是創(chuàng)業(yè)，無論你們?cè)谑澜绲氖裁吹胤�，�?qǐng)記住，你們都是BNBU的代言人，學(xué)校則永遠(yuǎn)是你們的“精神家園”：累了，就回鳳凰樹下坐坐，看看當(dāng)年上課的教室；迷茫了，就翻翻校園手冊(cè)，里面有老師們寫的“人生建議”；有空了，就回學(xué)�？纯�，和我們聊聊你在遠(yuǎn)方的故事。
同學(xué)們，畢業(yè)不是終點(diǎn)，而是“真正成長(zhǎng)的開始”。愿你們帶著在BNBU學(xué)會(huì)的“選擇、鉆研、創(chuàng)意”，去闖出讓自己驕傲的人生。無論走到哪里，記得：你們的背后，永遠(yuǎn)有一所叫BNBU的學(xué)校，為你們亮著燈，等著你們回家。
祝福大家：前途似海，未來可期！
President Chen Zhi's Address at the 17th Graduation
Ceremony: Choice, Diligence, Creativity: Be Novel, Be
Unique!
Dear students, parents, and distinguished guests:
Hello everyone!
Today, we gather to celebrate the graduation of the
Class of 2025 from BNBU, and I am filled with emotion.
As president, I have witnessed your transformation from
inexperienced students into confident and independent
young adults, and I am genuinely proud of you. I would
like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt
gratitude to our founding institutions, to the dedicated
teachers, supportive parents, and all the friends who
have contributed to the growth and development of our
university. Your unwavering support means the world to
us.
Dear students, today I want to share a few inspiring
stories from our alumni and discuss what BNBU seeks to
impart—lessons that will serve you on your own journeys.
The first story: on “choice”
This year in Dubai, I met an alumna who majored in
International Journalism at BNBU. After graduation, she
made an unconventional choice—she turned down offers
from prestigious US and UK universities to become a
flight attendant for Emirates Airlines. Over the next
two years, she travelled to every continent except
Antarctica, experiencing the beauty of life in the
skies. Yet, she felt an urge for greater challenges.
In March 2018, she made an even bolder decision: she
resigned, flew solo to South Africa, and self-funded her
flight training to obtain a commercial pilot’s licence.
While some may have called her “reckless”， she said: “I
love the feeling of driving a plane and galloping in the
sky; this is what I truly want to do.” Today, she is a
female pilot, navigating the globe. As one of the 1% of
female pilots in China’s civil aviation industry, she is
crafting her own aviation story high up above the
clouds.
Her journey teaches us that the most valuable aspect
of life is not to follow a “safe path” dictated by
others, but to know what you truly want and have the
courage to pursue it. BNBU aims to equip you with
knowledge in various fields such as mathematics,
accounting, artificial intelligence, communication,
languages and the arts, but more importantly, we want
you to learn the “wisdom of choice”—to stay true to your
“authentic self” in all your endeavours. Throughout your
lives, at different stages and critical junctures, you
will face various choices. BNBU teaches you not to be
following the path that others expect but to discover
the one that best suits you.
The second story: on “diligence”
Let me tell you another story about one of our
graduates.
Last year, while on a business trip to Boston, I met
an alumnus deeply engaged in geopolitical studies and
cultural participation in Africa. He graduated from the
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at BNBU and,
with a strong academic foundation, received an offer to
pursue a PhD in East Asian Studies at Yale University.
His research focuses on highlighting the history and
contributions of the Chinese diaspora in Africa’s
national liberation movements through international
advocacy. To deepen his understanding of local cultures
and political shifts, he often travels alone to
sub-Saharan African countries, conducting field research
amid challenging conditions.
When I visited Boston, he had just returned from
research in Kenya and met with me and other alumni at a
small restaurant in Cambridge. He wore a well-worn
shirt, but his eyes sparkled as he shared his ongoing
research plans—he hopes to provide precise policy
recommendations for China-Africa cooperation through
academic insights. Before leaving, he remarked: “Every
cross-cultural course and paper I wrote at BNBU taught
me to view the world from a ‘global perspective’。 What I
am doing now is simply turning the ‘curiosity’ from the
classroom into a lifelong vocation.”
From his experience, we see that true diligence is not
merely about passing exams or earning degrees; it is
about igniting a “spark” in a particular field and
transforming it into a “torch” that lights up the world.
This is the “academic resilience” that BNBU aspires to
instil in you.
The third story: on “creativity”
My final student story highlights yet another
important attribute I hope you have acquired.
In the realm of entrepreneurship, a team of BNBU
alumni founded “xCurrency Hubs”， which has become an
internationally recognised currency service platform. In
2018, one of our alumni noticed that foreign teachers
and international students faced challenges when
exchanging currency. He and several peers ventured into
the cross-border fintech sector. They transformed an old
building on Qi’ao Island in Zhuhai into their office,
negotiating with banks by day and coding late into the
night, ultimately developing a system for “real-time
tracking of global exchange rates and fee-free
cross-border transfers”。
Today, xCurrency Hubs is an essential tool for
international students and foreign trade enterprises. It
has established branches in Hong Kong, China; Indonesia;
Malaysia; and Singapore, with many team members being
BNBU alumni. During last year’s homecoming, he shared:
“During the toughest moments in entrepreneurship, I
often recalled the ‘innovation workshops’ at
school—where teachers taught us to solve problems with a
‘user-centric’ mindset. The best ideas often emerge not
from thin air but from understanding the ‘pits’ beneath
everyone’s feet.”
This story illustrates that creativity is not the
exclusive domain of geniuses; it is about identifying
problems through “empathy” and addressing them with
“execution”。 This is the “innovative spirit” that BNBU
aims to cultivate in you.
Behind these stories lies the “educational ethos” of
our school. The protagonists in these narratives each
embody the BNBU spirit of resilience and determination.
Among this year’s graduates, we can undoubtedly see
these indelible “marks”。 I am thrilled to witness
students exploring frontiers in their fields with solid
professional achievements and innovative research; some
skillfully balance their dual passions for coding and
music, achieving success through interdisciplinary
integration and relentless effort; others build
knowledge foundations with systematic scholarship,
constructing pathways for career advancement through
rich practical experience; and some bravely break
professional boundaries, exploring teaching, media
internships, and academic research, successfully
advancing to their dream institutions for further study.
Some choose entrepreneurship, boldly charting their own
paths; others enter the workforce, dedicating themselves
to the development of our nation with a practical
spirit.
Dear students, whether you soar high or accumulate
strength, whether you seek opportunities through hard
work or cultivate brilliance in silence, you are weaving
your dreams with your own hands. Your stories are vivid
interpretations of BNBU’s educational philosophy and
inspire every student to bravely pursue their dreams,
shining their own light on the road ahead
From today onward, you gain a new identity—BNBU
alumni. BNBU stands for “Be Novel, Be Unique”， or “Be
Novel, Be You”。 No matter whether you pursue further
studies, work, or entrepreneurship, and no matter where
you are in the world, please remember that you are
ambassadors of BNBU, and the school will always be your
“spiritual home”：
When you’re tired, come back to sit under the phoenix
trees and reminisce about the classrooms you once
attended;
When you’re uncertain, browse through the campus
handbook, which contains “l(fā)ife advice” from your
teachers;
When you have time, return to the school and share
your stories from afar with us.
Students, graduation is not the end, but the “true
beginning of your journey”。 May you carry forward the
“wisdom of choice, diligence, and creativity” that you
learned here and forge lives that make you proud. No
matter where you go, remember: behind you, there is
always a school called BNBU, lighting the way and
waiting for you to come home.
Wishing you all a bright future and limitless
possibilities! Thank you!
