尊敬的侯院长、白主席、李校长，亲爱的老师们，毕业生们，大家上午好！
我叫姜宗寿，来自韩国，很荣幸作为留学生代表在2021年度毕业典礼暨学位授予仪式上发言，分享我在国科大和植物研究所的学习经历。接下来我要用英文说，因为我的中文还不够好。
At this moment, I wanna share a famous saying with all you guys here. Former British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill said “To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often.”
I think several years for Ph.D. or Master studies provide enough time and enough environments for changing ourselves.
Through the times, I was able to stand here as a graduate, and now I’m standing at another door to keep moving forward.
What I felt during my Ph.D. study in China is, UCAS provides a very efficient curriculum, and all professors and all students in a research institute work really hard.
They have passionate interests in their own studies, and their studies were always moving forward to be more perfect.
Based on what I saw and felt, I will not be afraid of change, and try to be more perfect over time.
In anywhere, I will always try my best to become a researcher who is proud of the name of UCAS, and I wish all the best for the future of all students graduating together.
Lastly, I’m honored to have this opportunity to stand here, and would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Professor 张宪春 and other professors and management staff who have instructed me so far. At the same time, I also appreciate to Chinese Government for giving me a scholarship to study in an advanced educational environment like UCAS.
谢谢！祝愿大家前程似锦，一帆风顺！
