The 2023 graduation season is drawing to a close with the successive issuance of admission notices from Chinese universities and colleges by Xi'an Jiaotong University. On the occasion of welcoming the new year, the "last lesson" presented by universities across the country to students is even more memorable. At Xi'an Jiaotong University, when President Wang Shuguo delivered a speech to the graduates, it suddenly rained heavily. Lu Jianjun, the secretary of the Party Committee of the university, stood up to hold an umbrella for him, attracting the teachers and students present to cheer and salute. Coincidentally, when the graduation ceremony of Southwest University of Political Science&Law was held, it also came across a sudden heavy rain. When the students were ready for the "ceremony in the rain", the president Fu Zitang took it by surprise, replacing more than 3500 words of speech with a 14 word title, and ended his speech in just 20 seconds. The principal has truly achieved the unity of knowledge and action. "The two speeches in the rain have rapidly heated up on the internet, and" true education nourishes things silently "has become a consensus among netizens. At the same time, graduation scenes such as "moving into the cafeteria at the graduation ceremony," "the principal taking teachers to the homes of sick students to stir up ears," "urban landmark public screens" lighting up "college graduation blessings," and "university secretaries, principals, and graduates eating dumplings together to 'send off proud children," are constantly updated. In the "last lesson" before graduation, the school's every move is more eye-catching than words. But the 'last lesson' is not the end. Shenzhen University sent graduates "pillows with good sleep and dreams", and the president sent a message of "peace of mind, peace of mind"; The graduation gift box given to students by Beihang University contains aircraft building blocks, wishing graduates "dream of sailing"; Northwestern University has been using the Lantian Jade Seal as a graduation gift since 2015, using jade as a metaphor for the school motto "honesty, diligence, and simplicity"... Various universities use graduation gifts to encourage new graduates to continue moving forward. According to data previously disclosed by the education department, the number of graduates from ordinary universities in China in 2023 is expected to reach 11.58 million, setting a new historical high. When students leave the school gate, it seems that they have "separated" from the school, but their employment choices and life directions are still influenced by it. The "westward migration spirit" of Xi'an Jiaotong University has been passed down for generations. According to data released by the school, the 2022 graduates of the school actively went to the most needed areas in western regions, grassroots and frontline countries, with the employment proportion in the western region reaching 50.49%. As of July 1st this year, over 50% of the 2023 graduate students who have confirmed their graduation destinations at the university still choose to stay in the western region to work. The graduation ceremony is no longer just a ceremony, but a cultural symbol, "said Wang Xiaoyong, an expert at the Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences. The various details of the graduation ceremony are another manifestation of the school's culture and educational philosophy. He believes that this "out of the loop" scene has deepened the emotional connection between universities and students, not only showcasing the unique educational value of graduation ceremonies, but also helping to strengthen students' self-identity towards society, showcasing the humanistic details and warmth of Chinese universities.
