One Student Is Just Like a Flower
My dear Mr. and Misses, my fellows schoolmates,
Good morning! As you know and see, it is a sunny bump harvest season. In the city, in our school campus, everywhere is surrounded with roses which we together planted 4 years ago. Today may these roses and our friendship as well be together and comfort our excited hearts!
It was four years ago that everyone of us came from every part of China and formed a new collective. As we are young, it’s very easy for us to communicate. It was in the past four years that we were ambitious. It was in the past four years that we worried. It was in the past four years that we were content. It was in the past four years that we were vexed. It was in the past four years that we were friendly and lonely ... and it was in the past fours that we studied, lived and respected each other with genuine and with our ambitions. Nothing in the world is more significant than we miss all of these.
We miss you─teachers who are tireless in teaching; we will keep your gestures and your white hairs in our hearts deeply; we will miss the quietness with the lights at night in the classroom; we will miss the race and exercise on the playground; we will miss even the crowds in the dining hall and the quarrel on the beds; we will still miss every green piece and every piece of waste paper flying like flakes in the air ... However, today we will leave nothing but the first rose with our Alma Mater and our teachers which is entrusted with our love and respect.
4 years seems very long but 4 years seems very short. From now on, we all will go into the society. The society is broad and wide for us. We will shoulder heavy responsibilities; we will work diligently; and we will expect to be informed of good news from one another. Now, I beg you all to cherish the occasion; to remember the names, the status, appearance and the character of the person around you. Now let’s be hand in hand together; let’s present the rose to each other. May the rose carry our appreciation and blessing! We are very closely linked no matter what the world may be. May the fresh rose in our hands keep its fragrants!
Thank you all again!
學友們：
大家都瞧見了，這是一個陽光燦爛的收獲季節。在這座城市，在我們的校園，到處都是玫瑰朵朵，這是4年前我們共同栽培的。今天，就讓鮮花和友情聚攏，安撫我們激動不已的心吧!
4年前，大家從天南海北來到這裏，組成了一個新的集體。年輕的心是最容易相通的，盡管4年中有追求有失落，有得意有煩惱，有歡樂有憂慮，有友愛有孤寂......但我們都曾懷著真誠而美好的初衷去學習、生活、相愛，沒有什麽比這些更有意義，更令我們懷念。
我們懷念每一位誨人不倦的老師，你們的手勢或白發會刻在我們的記憶中;懷念教室裏的靜夜苦讀，運動場上的奔跑跳躍，甚至食堂裏的擁擠和高低床上的爭論; 懷念每一塊綠地和每一片風中飄零的廢紙......今天，我們沒有更好的禮物留下，這第一朵玫瑰，就獻給我們的母校和老師，她寄托著大家的熱愛和敬意!
4年很久，4年也很匆匆。以後的日子，大家又要飛，天高地闊，任重道遠，我們將在躬身的勞作中和奉獻中等候著彼此的好訊息。現在，請珍惜和永遠記住這一 時刻，記住你左邊和右邊的任何一個人吧，記住他(她)們的姓名、儀表和特點，請讓我們彼此握手，彼此贈佩一朵玫瑰，讓她表達我們的感謝和祝福。不管地老天 荒，我們彼此息息相關，我們的手指上永遠保留著贈人鮮花的芳香!
謝謝大家!
