New students and teachers:
Good morning
Today, 2022 class new students from all over the world meet on the net and offline to start your journey back to life. Here, on behalf of all the journalists, we extend warm congratulations to you! You traveled all the way, crossed the book mountain sea, made your dreams come true, became lucky success, and were able to meet at the journalism college in joahan。
How to get into college for four yearsUniversity lifeWhat? I think that many of our classmates have been prepared in advance, even with the combined efforts of the family and friends. You have many wonderful imaginations about college life; you have great expectations for your future. From now on, no matter how brilliant you may have been, you will have to decide and decide with your previous success, to put the pride of the past to zero, to put it in line, to sail and to start a whole new university life。
We are reluctant and reluctant to see you in vain. At this point, as a professional ferryman in the journal of jordan, i have something to share with you。
The first thing you have to decide is how to settle for four years in college. As a result, four years of university has become an extended version of high school. Qinghua university professor chan wingichi has cited seven major phenomena among chinese university students. One of the phenomena is busy, busy, blind, busy, confused and blind. University students are now generally more busy than high school. Then after he was busy, he became blind. The second phenomenon is that of performance. The third phenomenon is anxiety, harassment, and internalization. Is this the life you want in college
The university is a temple of knowledge and an ideal country for intellectuals. Did you read it in cold windows for more than a decade, just to move on? The ancient cloud: the way of the university, in vood, and among the people, is the end of goodness. The size of the university, the shape and vision that you can achieve, the strength of your heart, the ability to do it, the power of your mind. The university is not a “royal king” factory, but is the home of the great masters of the nation, the great masters, the great scholars, the great journalists, the great masters of the land, and the great writers. We therefore hope that you will not look carefully at the point of achievement, that it will be useful to “roll” it, that you will jump out of the short-sighted self-interest trap, that you will tear open the utilitarian tights, that you will return to your uncharted constant curiosity and pure love of knowledge, that you will forget the joy of seeking knowledge, that you will find yourself in the sea of wisdom, that you will be intoxicated in your knowledge, that you will pursue the integrity of the human person and the enrichment of the heart. We hope that you will be able to lift your eyes, your interests and your actions from the “small me”, take care of society, our country and human beings, extend the radius of responsibility and your strength beyond the walls of the university, dream as a horse, uphold the faith of the ideals, have the heart of the world, have the hearts of the people, preach truth, transform society, age, profession, youth。
As of today, students, you have become a member of the family of “retired journalism” and thank you for choosing the profession of journalism. Making such a dignified choice would require an ideal build-up and a firmer bottom. There have been many misunderstandings in society about our profession, about the low threshold of our profession and about the fact that today the professional nature of the dissemination of information is diluted in the media. This is a serious underestimation of our profession. The more popular the media are, the more pressing the demands of society and the state on the professionalism of information dissemination. Today, more than ever before, in a deeply mediated world, there is a need for professional vigilance and perseverance, as well as for our professional communicators to persevere in their efforts to document times, advance social progress and maintain fair justice. At a time when everyone is a witness, a recorder and a distributor, the responsibility of professional news communicators is either lighter or more important than tarzan, which we obviously chose. To uphold the ideals of journalism, to watch its beginnings, to maintain its professionalism, to strengthen its professional capacity, to strengthen its professional moats and to assume its due responsibility for society and the state。
The ideal is empty, one-sided, unable to escort, and the best is fragile. New communication technologies connect the whole world, media everywhere, forever online, wide-area connectivity, the news and communications profession has never met such a wide interface, and countless people are connected to us, and so many things are at stake, but we are not worthy of ambition. The web world, where we can't see it, and where we can't see it, drifts through information and knowledge of all kinds, full of homogeneity, fragmentation and shallowity of information, mud and mud, in which we've been immersed for a long time, with a constant sense of fatigue. In the age of information overload, knowledge became “fragile”. Information is intense and knowledge is invisible. Korean-german philosopher han bing chul was keen to find out that people accumulated information and data without any knowledge. There are thousands of mountains, but no lessons learned. People look at everything, but there is no insight. The information overload dilutes the concentration of knowledge, deconstructs the logic of knowledge and destroys the foundation of the profession. Therefore, it is necessary to include professionals in this room and on the internet, who are moving forward with a sense of urgency and responsibility that is not in my hands at all, to build up their professional skills, to build strong hearts and abilities, to set the tide of the times, to stand up for the tests and to live up to the expectations and choices of our people. And a few years later, when you look back at this time of college, life is worth it, neither regrets it, nor shames you for being idle。
From now on, every day will be a new beginning. May your classmates march forward and achieve the best youth
