Dear Shouwen Dean, respected Janus secretary, distinguished guests, parents, classmates: good morning. 　　

Today, it is an important day in our life of students. I like a devout Christian came to the church, with a heart of gratitude and joy in your heart, in this sacred place to witness this important moment. Thanks to the school of law for the honor and trust me, give me the opportunity to share with you the joy. After today, "the students" will become the "alumni", although in youth, but has more than half. No regrets, the slogan of "long live youth will be youth can not be no regrets," long live youth not feeling. 　　

Five years ago a Peking University law school graduates to treaty law firm to work with me, the first day I told him, from now on we are the relationship between employers and employees, that is to say I want to exploit your surplus value. He answered seriously: "the teacher, I would like to give you my exploitation of surplus value." So, I asked him: "your surplus value in where? Is how much?" He was silent for a long time to say. A few months later, he told me: "the teacher, I do not have any surplus value now, because you are in my work to pay the cost of training, but I can't give you any income." He had this kind of cognitive ability, I know I can talk to him seriously. I told him a few points:

A: our undergraduate education University School of law is the foundation of education, not the skills education; while a qualified legal workers must be familiar with and master the professional skills.

Two. An excellent legal talents must have strong ability to learn. After leaving the University, as a legal worker, not only to complete the process from students to professional training and self training as soon as possible; but after continuous learning, knowledge structure of an open, constantly improve their cognitive abilities, and constantly improve their knowledge system.

Three. Four years of university courses and education, from the aspect of knowledge is too narrow, from the culture value orientation too shallow. Law students need to continue to work in political science, history, sociology, psychology, education in the humanities is the best from Platon, Aristotle to Russell, the western humanism, political and ideological work read it again, in order to complete the "Liberal Art" education, humanistic education should be is the basis of a liberal arts education. 　　

I'm very proud of my young brother. Five years later, he met the requirements of my. Everyone is a carrier of information. Although we say "everyone is born equal", but the amount of information, information processing capability, the quality of people is different, the professional workers quality determines the ability. The text of Marxism education and self education is the most important legal workers. 　　

Twenty years ago, I pay to go to canada. In order to survive in the Seven-Eleven work, then met a professor teaching at University of Toronto. He asked me, "Mr. Li, what to do with you in the future?" I told him I stumbled Shandong English, "I want to be a lawyer." The professor told me, "a lawyer to read undergraduate course in Canada in canada." I said, "I know, I still want to do a lawyer." The professor said to me very woodenly, "a person will become the man he wants to be." He said to the! Today I took the professor's words and talk you through it, "a person will become the man he wants to be (A man will become what he wants to)." Each of us has an ideal self - -- self image. The image we close to self process, is also the self improvement.

In order to become the person we want to be, we will also go a long way. There is a causal logic.

I do. I paid. I got. 　　

In this way, I would no regrets. 　

I do -- conscientiously do the do, reliable things, good things. Think should do before making any important thing, how to do. In the process of making the time to reflect on, need not to need to adjust their own, to do an action of intellectuals. Do things right.

I pay -- as much as I can, the intention to pay, not careless, don't meet up, play their roles in the,, have passion to pay. The only input, passion will enjoy pay pay, pay more meaningful. Parents, is to raise their children, and enjoy the process, because of raising children is a kind of investment, pay the passion. You are in love, is also the investment and have the passion to pay, that this process can be absorbed, let person be overwhelmed with joy.

I got -- as did, because pay, so as I pray, I get what I want. My income, not too much, not too little, it is best not too much, and I is proportional to the pay, have a causal relationship with my pay. Priority needs of each person is different, want to know what you want, what you want if you must choose, how to make choice according to your priorities.

People have me have, whether it is a virtue or ugly. People like me love, regardless of beauty or money. Don't be too greedy, can not what should be, what will likely result is what is not. To what? What's most important to me? After leaving university, this problem confused me more than a year. Power good? Of course is good stuff, in the traditional oriental society, authority gold content is too high, the power will allow individuals to become strong. Have a niche in history is good? Of course, very good, it is a form of life can be eternal. As the master of our law school teacher, after a few generations, people will study, cited in their article, they are the modern Plo Michel J, watch the civilization, the rule of law China lit Road, wisdom and courage to them, to praise the people suffer after. Compared to them, I am very small.

To me this small individuals, to be the most important, have maneuverability is: free, rich, personality dignity.

Free -- the independent individual, arrange the path to go according to their own will, respect social evaluation system, but to have the independent self evaluation system, the two evaluation system can be compatible but do not completely overlap;

Rich -- dual spiritual and material wealth, a pauper Prince refused on the spiritual and material selection. In order to experience life, enjoy life, in order to take for the son of man, as a father should play, rich;

Personality, a human dignity -- respect for every person you meet, your leaders, your colleagues, your mastery of official career, give you serve dinner hall attendant, should respect. Just say you believe it, not for the benefit of their own personality.

The students left the school, the first face the problem of survival, but also to be in the face of the problem of development. How to develop is a choice. In the realization of freedom of choice at the same time, the path to choose their own. I believe you all have their own dreams, in the present era, in the notes, prices are rising. But the dream of the consumer, is free, you don't have a free lunch, you can get a free dream. We should have a dream, but should not be just a dreamer, said a person. Legal person's common dream, that is the legal society, in that society closer to the ideal, the fairness and justice than the sun and air, is cheap, cheap to our consumption of them can be neglected the consumption cost. This common dream, depends on our common efforts, even by the joint efforts of the students, their students.

The students each individual dreams, should be a riot of colour, each with different. I hope you will become their people in dreams. Whether you become what kind of person, an independent, free spirit, free will of the people, is the only true to himself. People are people, because he is man. The reason for his people, he must be different from the others. Independent, spiritual freedom, will freedom talent is different from the others, it is his own. Market economy is a diversified era, everyone can pursue their own interests. You think about what is the biggest benefit? Just do myself, live. Independence, freedom, spiritual freedom, no free will, no good at all, without the wonderful life that will be the greatest loss.

The reason why we study the law, because learning the legal needs of the community of professionals. Because society needs to have the order, fairness, justice. Order, fairness, and justice form the basis of a civilized society, I believe some people here who will become the pillars of the Republic of the future. There will be the prime minister, ministers and some excellent legal talents. Whether we have much value, we are in the maintenance of social order, and the pursuit of fairness and justice. This value is the pursuit of play each of our laws, every legal person's mission.

A few years ago the law department of grade seven seven students in the the Summer Palace party, on the way encountered heavy rain, all in a shelter under the eaves, speak with shouted three times: "people in under the eaves, insist on not down." The integrity, seven seven elder brother's this responsibility, it is our traditional Peking University Law School, I believe that this tradition will inherit, also will be you the integrity, tradition and play. In addition to "people in the under the eaves, insist on not down" this responsibility, I will give the students a suggestion: floating in rivers and lakes, it is best not to get knife. If you want to is not the knife, should practice the internal strength, grasp their own, grasp the era. Handle me and I, all kinds of relationship between the individual and society, put themselves in a correct position, good location, good location! The students have is Beijing University law school graduates, you are facing the era is what appearance?

We live in a great era, changes of the times, the transition time. The Chinese nation has two great era in the ideological, cultural history, the Warring States period, each ethnic group in Central Plains States, conflict, fusion have thought in the history of all classes of authors, which constitute the traditional Chinese culture background; Tang period, in the conflict after agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization of Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, the fusion of Hu, Han nationality, quiet and disturbance in the Sui Dynasty, the western culture and the Central Plains culture settle down, constitute the Confucianism, Buddhism, the road into one of the characteristics of Chinese civilization.

Since 1840, since the Opium War, China is opening to the outside world, science and technology and culture of the west, in the Chinese, henceforth, conflict and blend of Eastern, Western civilization of the curtain went up. Farming civilization, can eventually absorbs the grasslands civilization, but in the face of the ocean civilization, industrial civilization, lost confidence.

Backward to learn, but what? How to learn, let Chinese tangled in the recent two hundred years, the opening of various schools of thought, from Europe, from Russia, from Japan, from USA come in, affecting Chinese world outlook and life. Christian doctrine, Marx doctrine, anarchism, nationalism, the Lenin doctrine, the Stalin doctrine, the constitutional monarchy, constitutional, legal, political party system, freedom, equality, capitalism, socialism, fascism and so on. Westerners believe in first practice first thought, social system, all the way to Chinese dumping imports, imports, some of these things have been placed on the vintage warehouse, some were on the customs supervision warehouse, some formed a monopoly in the China. In people's consumption capacity is insufficient, it is difficult to use the best products, in order to let oneself can survive, only the most suitable products consumer price.

Now Chinese has become the second largest economy in the world, the survival of our problems seem to have been solved. Live a better has become a dream of you I. Only use the best products, in order to have a better day. What is the best product? Good stuff is no national boundaries. In the ideological level, spirit level, the social system level, welcome to the human civilization, hug, recognition is the best. When Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, the essence of the essence of the traditional culture and modern civilization of human society to be made one, will be the Chinese civilization and carry forward the revival time. I am sure you will witness this moment. This is the times in which we live and you will take the time.

The classmates, at this moment, is Saturday at midnight, Weiming Lake Youth Dance draws to a close. This summer, is the classmate of adolescent Sunday, after that, you will have the life work, for the community to contribute their strength. Hope you enjoy working during the day, everything goes well, the life of a row, the high toss, falling slowly. Don't drop the high, vertical drop; don't throw up slowly, quickly falling. The arrival of the next weekend, when you retire, gather in the green mountains and rivers, a cup of wine, drink, sing a song: life is a regret, but not in this lifetime.
