The theme of the 'Last Lesson' can also be life

2025-06-24   

At the graduation ceremony of Yanbian University, the words of a cafeteria auntie moved everyone to tears and also touched many people on the internet. No matter how cheap takeout is, it's not as clean as our own meals; Don't always eat instant noodles when working overtime and staying up late; Don't force yourself to endure sadness and grievances... "Auntie should have practiced standard pronunciation and speech rhythm diligently beforehand, but when it comes to daily trivialities and genuine emotions, she couldn't help but bring her local accent. The contrast between the front and back is full of sincerity, which inevitably reminds people of the advice and instructions from their parents before leaving. Many people refer to the graduation message from universities as the "last lesson". On this podium, some discuss the grand ambition of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people", some express their life pursuit of "serving the grassroots and rooting in the countryside", some praise the dream of building a strong country with "innovation changes the world, technology serves the motherland", and some depict the "philosophical starry sky"... However, beyond the ideal blueprint of "being tall", there is also a down-to-earth life for you and me. At the milestone of graduation in life, many things will undergo earth shattering changes: a new environment for pursuing career and ideals, richer resources and more freedom of choice, temptations and challenges of various ideologies... We need a lesson to sort out our past selves, cope with the overwhelming changes, and also need some perseverance and "never forget our original aspirations". No matter how busy work is, we cannot forget to take care of ourselves; No matter how tired life is, don't let those who love you worry or forget; Whether the taste is bitter or sweet, always keep your heart open to the sunshine. The reason why the cafeteria auntie's few words quickly gained popularity is that this "last lesson" not only reached the hearts of graduates, but also shone on those who have struggled in society: regardless of the industry, the "working people" have high or low job income, and many people have experienced overtime and have no appetite, only wanting to deal with it simply; Or the discomfort of working in unfamiliar cities or rented houses, licking wounds alone. The theme of the 'last lesson' is life, but it is obvious that this lesson cannot wait until the 'last'. University life is exciting and varied from person to person, one of the reasons being that young people who come to unfamiliar environments need to continue learning while also arranging their lives reasonably. Focusing solely on academic studies and losing oneself, or being overly social or addicted to the internet and making a mess of life, are not what we expect. Among the vast graduation team, some choose to continue their studies, some pursue careers they love, and some are dissatisfied with their career choices and hope to work hard to change the status quo. Different lives have different ways of living, and different people have different pursuits. The road to success is steep and steep, but some offer bouquets of flowers to you who have reached the summit, while others care about your sore arms. This summer marks the season of college entrance examination, graduation, college application, and new student enrollment. May this goodwill always accompany us and witness each other living the life we want. (New Society)
