DAFENG NEWS

What is meant by reading the books of sages and worthies? It is to continue the lost teachings of the past sages and to open the way to peace for all generations.

Dear President Xie, fellow students, and distinguished guests: Hello everyone! Today, looking at all of you students, talented and brave, I, along with the representatives present, feel very gratified. As a capable, responsible, and socially conscious enterprise, Dafeng naturally wants to extend a gesture of love to students in need, helping them achieve their academic dreams. We also hope that through this form of charity, we can express Dafeng’s commitment to giving back to society and spreading and promoting the positive energy of helping those in difficulty. Dafeng was born and has grown up in Yuyao, and since its founding in 1991 nearly thirty years ago, although it has now grown into a globally leading enterprise, we have not forgotten to actively participate in charitable work in our hometown, earnestly practicing our corporate mission of 'spreading beauty and happiness.' Merely having a slogan is empty formalism; it must be combined with meaningful actions like today’s to truly bestow power and value upon our wonderful mission. This is also aligned with what our esteemed predecessor Wang Yangming advocated—the unity of knowledge and action. Love is precious because it is selfless, and Dafeng will always use our love to help those in need. When Comrade Xiaoping visited Singapore in the past, he asked then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew: 'China must develop and become prosperous; what will it rely on?' Lee Kuan Yew answered with just two words: education. Education is the foundation of the nation and the hope of the family, and young people are the future of the country.

Honorable President Xie, fellow students, and guests:

Hello everyone!

Today, looking at all the students, who are outstanding and full of vigor, I and the representatives present feel very gratified. As a capable, responsible, and socially conscious enterprise, Dafeng naturally wants to offer its care to students in need, helping them realize their educational dreams. We also hope that through this form of charity, Dafeng can express its commitment to giving back to society and promote and spread positive energy in supporting those in difficulty.

Dafeng was born in Yuyao and has grown up in Yuyao. Since its founding in 1991, it has been nearly thirty years. Although it has now grown into a globally leading enterprise, while vigorously developing itself, we have not forgotten to actively participate in charitable activities in our hometown, earnestly practicing the corporate mission of 'spreading happiness and goodness.' Merely having a slogan is just empty formalism; it must be combined with meaningful concrete actions like today to truly empower and give value to our beautiful mission. This is also what our predecessor Wang Yangming advocated: 'unity of knowledge and action.' Love is precious because it is selfless, and Dafeng will always use our love to help those in need.

When Comrade Xiaoping visited Singapore in the past, he asked then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew: 'China must develop and become powerful and prosperous. What does it rely on?' Mr. Lee Kuan Yew only answered with two words: education. Education is the foundation of a country and the hope of a family, and young people are the future of the nation. The reason the Chinese nation can stand firm among the world's nations is that we pay more attention to students' educational levels than any other nation and care for those diligent students who need help on their path to learning. Successfully obtaining an education relates to the happiness and future of thousands of families; donating to support education paves the way for students' dreams. This is the responsibility that every enterprise, every organization, and every individual should undertake. Contributions are not measured by size, and acts of kindness are not judged by order. Today's donation ceremony in Dafeng is not only to provide motivation for outstanding students to strive forward, but also to use love to pass on virtue. We hope that when you achieve success in the future and return to your hometown wealthy and accomplished, hosting grand gatherings, you will not forget to extend a helping hand to contribute to the construction of your hometown and to those in need.

Classmates, you are about to step into the gates of university and embark on a new journey. The future is uncertain and unclear, but it is also full of opportunities and brilliant prospects. I hope you continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work, study diligently, master new knowledge and skills, and aspire to achieve greatness! I also hope you aim high and strive for self-improvement ceaselessly! Finally, I would like to give you all a motto of mine: Reading the books of sages and worthies, what is it for? It is to continue the lost teachings of past sages and to bring peace for all generations! May our good deeds continue, may they help more students successfully complete their studies, and I also wish our motherland prosperity and flourishing!

Thanks to the Yuyao Charity Federation, and I wish all students academic success!

Thank you, everyone!
