Qing Fengling affectionately delivered message to all the graduates, and awarded the graduation certificate and degree to the graduates on site. Qing expressed his warm congratulations to the graduates from all over the world and said, “COVID-19 epidemic now becomes the common enemy of all mankind and our lives are interconnected and interdependent as we all live on the same planet. So, we shall work together toward a community with a shared future for mankind. You may have some regrets about the last period of study in DHU due to the epidemic, but regrets lead to hope. I expected that international students would return to their hometown or leave for every corner of the world with what they had learned in DHU, to create and write a new chapter of their life.”

She encouraged them and said, “We worked hard for the same goal in 2020 and here we reach the ending point which can also be regarded as the beginning. No matter how to choose, you will have a more realistic life in the near future. If you want to achieve more, please maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. Moreover, DHU will always be your strong backing.”
