"Yue Heng, I came here specifically to thank you."
"If it weren't for your help this morning, my old bones would have been in real danger."
Upon entering the classroom, the old professor walked up to Wang Yueheng first, grasped his arm with both hands, and thanked him repeatedly.
Their attitude was affectionate, like that of a close relative or elder.
"Mr. Wang, you're too kind. It's fortunate you weren't injured!"
Faced with the old professor's heartfelt gratitude, Wang Yueheng, who was sitting on the bench, put down his guitar, stood up, and smiled as he helped the professor by the wrist.
“I heard what you said before you started singing.”
"On behalf of those researchers and comrades who sacrificed their lives in the desert without making a name for themselves, I also thank you."
"If they knew that they had such outstanding descendants as you writing and singing songs for them, they would be overjoyed in the afterlife."
"They'll probably laugh and say, 'Look, those descendants of the Dragon Kingdom still remember us and are singing for us...'"
As he spoke, Professor Wang's voice choked with emotion again.
A voice seemed to keep echoing in his mind.
Unsung heroes, the bus home is here.
And when the train returned to its hometown, a city of blooming flowers and towering buildings.
Most of the heroes in the carriage have passed away and will never witness the fruitful results of their struggles.
Principal Chang Guohua and the students present were all deeply moved by what they saw.
Zheng Ruirui and other sensitive young women heard the old professor's choked-up gratitude.
Thinking of those ancestors who sacrificed their lives and were buried in the Gobi Desert, I pursed my lips and tears fell again uncontrollably.
It was supposed to be a class meeting for college freshmen to get to know each other.
At this moment, however, it was elevated to a special level, becoming a patriotic education event for new students.
"Alright, we won't disturb your class meeting any longer."
I wish everyone a smooth and happy university life!
After seeing that Professor Wang had fulfilled his wish to thank the singer of the same name in person, Principal Chang Guohua immediately stood on the podium and smiled.
"Principal Chang, since you're already here, why don't you say a few words to us new students?"
Seeing this, Tong Hua took the initiative to make a suggestion.
"Oh~"
"Principal, please say a few words! Please say a few words!"
"Splash!"
Upon hearing this, the freshmen in the audience also hoped that the president of Tsinghua University could give them a few words of encouragement, and they applauded without hesitation.
After all, opportunities to hear this renowned president speak in person are rare on university campuses, especially at Tsinghua University.
Especially when it comes to speaking to a class alone, it's extremely rare!
All the students' attention shifted from Wang Yueheng to the principal.
"Alright, then I'll take the liberty of quoting my personal favorite line, which was written by Wang Yueheng before."
"I hope that all students can study and strive at Tsinghua University to establish a moral compass for the world, to secure a future for the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to create peace for all generations!"
"Keep in mind our school motto: Strive for self-improvement and cultivate virtue to carry the world!"
"Although the academic journey is tough, with dedication, no difficulty is insurmountable!"
To everyone's surprise, Principal Chang Guohua directly quoted a sentence written by Wang Yueheng to encourage the new students present.
It was clearly to save face for Wang Yueheng, and not to use his position as principal to forcibly steal the limelight from this new singer.
"Huh? Wang Yueheng actually wrote such a sentence?"
"To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to secure a destiny for the people, and to continue the lost learning of the sages! I have learned a great deal!"
"Really? When did he write it?"
"It seems that when he was teaching the students on the grasslands to sing the song 'Wanjiang,' he also rescued a girl who had been trafficked!"
"I think I was busy filling out college applications back then..."
"Wait a minute, he wrote 'Wanjiang' too? I always thought it was a song by the performing arts troupe, so they just did a cover!"
