Shantou University held a graduation ceremony for its 2020 graduates in Shantou, Guangdong on July 5. Affected by the epidemic, the school adopted a combination of online and offline models. Li Lanjuan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as the officiating guest, made a speech entitled "Choice, at every intersection in life" at the graduation ceremony.

  Through the video, Li Lanjuan addressed the young people in the "cloud", hoping that they would "rigorous and realistic, pioneering and innovative, bravely climb the peak and benefit mankind."

  Li Lanjuan said that since the outbreak, countless medical personnel, scientific research personnel, PLA soldiers, police officers and community workers knew that there was a risk of infection, but they were still heading against the wind.

  In this era, we must establish the "community of human destiny". She said that for the well-being of others is everyone's mission and responsibility. Whether in life or business, from the situation of the times to the emotions of others, there are many external changes and environmental factors that people cannot choose. What people can choose is their own way of coping, to choose what kind of decision to make at each intersection of life, and how to move forward bravely.
