Chapter 751 Opening Ceremony
At 8:55, Tang Su finally walked into the gymnasium.
She sat in row 16, zone E, which was relatively far back.
However, there was a large screen not far away, through which Tang Su could clearly see the leaders and teachers sitting in the front row of the gymnasium.
The exciting music suddenly stopped, and after a while the radio started again:
"Dear students, the 2023 undergraduate opening ceremony of Qinghua University is about to begin. Please turn your mobile phones to silent mode. Now let us welcome Vice President Professor Chen Yu to preside over today's opening ceremony."
Tang Su had already adjusted his phone before coming in.
She looked at the stadium stage in the distance, where sat several rows of leaders and teachers wearing white shirts and black trousers.
One of the teachers walked to the podium and said in a very sonorous voice: "Dear students and teachers, the 2023 undergraduate freshman opening ceremony of Qinghua University has officially begun. Please stand up, sing the national anthem, and raise the national flag."
Tang Su then stood up as well.
At this moment, she felt that this atmosphere made her feel very proud, especially when she saw the bright red flag in the middle of the stage.
Tang Su also sang the national anthem with everyone. She had never had any sense of mission or patriotism before, but at this moment she suddenly felt that she was the successor to the country's future development and that she had the responsibility to contribute her talents and strength to the country's future construction and social development.
The fact that she can sit here today is inseparable from her own efforts, the cultivation of her teachers and the country.
For example, now that she has come to Qingda, she has paid a pitifully low tuition fee to enjoy the education of a first-class university, lives in a comfortable student apartment and only needs to pay 1,600 yuan a year in rent, and even spends less than 1,000 yuan a month to solve three meals a day.
Tang Su knew that this was because the national finance gave a lot of subsidies to colleges and universities every year, so they only needed to pay a little money to go to college. In foreign private universities, students spend hundreds of thousands of RMB a year.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the host began to introduce the school leaders, department heads, etc. who attended the ceremony.
Tang Su didn't remember any of these. She only remembered that the director of the Department of Interdisciplinary Information Sciences was Professor Wu Qingdong and the president of Qing University was Academician Zhang Yuan.
However, what surprised Tang Su was that the school invited principals of 60 middle schools to attend the opening ceremony, including Principal Xiao, who is in charge of academic affairs at his alma mater, Haizhou Changde Middle School.
Next was the speech session, with speeches by representatives of Youqing University students, teachers, freshmen representatives, and the principal.
Tang Su listened carefully to these people's speeches, because their speeches were very wonderful, and the content of each person's speech could become a wonderful speech.
Tang Su obtained some information that he did not know from the president's speech: there are more than 4,700 undergraduate freshmen in Qingda University this year, of which more than 600 are recommended students, more than 270 are among the top ten in the province in liberal arts and science in multiple provinces and cities, including 24 provincial science champions and 11 liberal arts champions. Female students account for 25.1% of this year's class, which means only about a quarter of the students are female. In addition, there are more than 400 international students among the freshmen.
The speaker on behalf of the freshmen was a girl from the School of Humanities. Although she didn't look particularly pretty, she had a scholarly air about her and made people feel that she was a very talented girl.
Tang Su had some impression of this girl. She seemed to have participated in a poetry program and won the championship.
