At this farewell moment, Li Guozhong shared three hopes for the graduates: First, patriotism should always lead the aspirations--stand firm in beliefs and shoulder the mission in building a strong nation. Never forget to carry forward the revolutionary spirit of Guangxi University, nurture a deep sense of national pride, and unify “love for the country”, “determination to rejuvenate the country”, and “actions to serve the country” together. Remember to integrate dreams into the grand endeavor of Chinese modernization, take root among the Chinese people and dedicate to the country, crafting a no-regret youth journey. Second, stand firm on the ground of practical actions--persevere and advance courageously through challenges. Young people should aspire to be individuals with a pragmatic spirit and the ability to solve real-world problems. Keep ready for long-term efforts, face difficulties bravely, work diligently, and dare to venture into grassroots areas with tough conditions, frontlines of national construction projects, and cutting-edge research. Hone skills and grow through experience, using hard work and outstanding achievements to create a remarkable life. Third, fuel the life journey with innovation--be brave to explore and scale new heights in the pursuit of dreams. Young people should unleash imagination and creativity, ignite passion for innovation, and tap into potential. Break free from conventions and practice boldly. Accumulate experience through innovation and achieve meaningful results. Unceasingly discover, innovate, and advance--let innovation be the strong wind filling the sails of youth’s journey.
