【國立臺灣大學 109學年度畢業典禮 校長致詞】
Opening Remarks, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
President Dr. Chung-Ming Kuan
.
各位師長同仁,各位畢業同學以及家長們,歡迎大家參加 109 學年度的線上畢業典禮。
去年新冠疫情初起,學校雖仍舉辦實體的畢業典禮,但規模大為縮小,許多師生和家長均以無法參加典禮為憾。今年初臺灣的疫情持續穩定,大家原本期待今年畢業典禮能按照往年方式辦理。不料五月時疫情急轉直下,臺北市疫情警戒程度提高,我們於是推遲畢業典禮,並改以線上方式進行。這也是臺大首次以線上方式舉辦畢業典禮。
隨著疫情發展,線上活動如今已成為生活中的新常態。我們雖逐漸習慣線上教學,線上會議,線上交流,線上購物訂餐等,但連期待了四年的畢業典禮也只能在線上參加,許多同學與家長們難免失望。為此,學務處與許多同學攜手,精心策劃了今天這場特殊的線上畢業典禮,希望能讓大家留下不一樣,但仍美好的記憶。
因為新冠疫情,有些同學會抱怨:這樣大的疫情怎麼就正好被我們在畢業時碰上了?也有些同學則樂觀的想,一旦有了疫苗,疫情得到控制,世界最終還是會回到以前的軌道,大家仍可以過著平穩安定的日子。
然而這個世界從不曾平靜。今年畢業的同學多數出生於1999 年,那正是規模達 7.3 的 921 大地震發生的那一年。時隔四年,亞洲(包括臺灣)爆發了罕見的急性呼吸道感染病 SARS。不過五年之後,源自美國的金融海嘯席捲全球,影響全世界經濟數年之久。2009 更是不平靜的一年,臺灣出現莫拉克風災,造成慘重傷亡;全球則爆發了 H1N1 流感大流行,數十萬人因此死亡。這些當時都曾被認為是數十年(甚至百年)一遇的重大災難。
回顧二十多年來的這些事件(這還僅僅是一部份與臺灣相關的事件),我們就會發現:巨大的天災人禍,過去曾頻繁出現,未來應該也不會少見。
當然,新冠疫情的影響範圍遠超過 SARS 與 H1N1 流感,對世界的衝擊則更大於金融海嘯。近代能與這次疫情相比的是一百年前 (1918-1920) 的全球流感大流行;據後來估計,當時全世界人口三分之一染疫,約有五千萬人因此不幸喪生。
那次流感爆發時正值第一次世界大戰末期,對當時的德軍主力造成嚴重打擊。而後疫情時代,戰敗的德國被列強宰割,奧匈帝國及奧圖曼帝國亦隨之瓦解,徹底改變了舊的國際秩序,也為後來的世局(從歐陸,到中東和亞洲)埋下許多不安定的種子。
這次新冠疫情並未伴隨著世界大戰,但出現在國際強權針鋒相對,世界產業供應鏈重整的關鍵時刻;後疫情時代因此充滿不確定性。而重組後的國際政經秩序,我不知道那會是一個「美好或不美好的新世界」*,但它就是大家必須面對的世界。那裡將充滿挑戰和機會,如何善用所學回應挑戰,如何從機會中脫穎而出,都是大家新的功課。這些功課沒有標準答案,你們必須自己解答,自己審閱答案。
我也希望利用這個機會提醒同學們,對於正在醫療前線奮戰的眾多醫護人員,其中包括了許多學校師長與大家的學長姐們,我們一定要心存感念。當疫情大浪襲來時,他們勇往直前,力挽狂瀾,不僅保護病人,也捍衛著臺灣社會。他們是真正的英雄。只要大家共同努力,疫情終會過去,我們一定會贏得抗疫的最後勝利。
最後,我謹代表所有老師和行政主管,向所有畢業同學們表達最深切的祝福,也恭喜辛苦多年的家長們。敬祝大家未來一切順利,身體健康
最後我還想講幾句話。我記得我看過一篇外國人寫的文章,他說他在臺灣多年,注意到臺灣有個很奇怪的習慣,朋友分手時都常常會說:「要小心哦」。我看到這篇文章的時候,也突然心有所感;多年來我媽媽每次看到我出門時會跟我講這句話,而後來我跟自己的小孩,也會講這樣的話。所以在畢業典禮這個時刻,我敬祝大家未來一切順利,身體健康,大家都要小心哦!

==============================

When the COVID-19 pandemic began last year, NTU was still able to hold graduation ceremonies in person but on a much smaller scale and with the absence of many faculty members, students, and parents. Earlier this year, we were hoping to gather for a traditional commencement. But the sudden outbreak in May had forced Taipei City to raise its epidemic alert level. So we postponed the Commencement and made the decision to hold the ceremony virtually. This is the first virtual Commencement in NTU history.
To our faculty, new graduates, and parents, welcome to the National Taiwan University’s Commencement celebration for the Class of 2021.
As the pandemic unfolds, digital is the new normal. While we gradually adapt to online learning, virtual meetings, social media, online shopping, and food delivery, it is inescapably disappointing for many students and parents to have to celebrate the achievements of our graduates this way after anticipating this event for four years. And because of this, the Office of Student Affairs has teamed up with the graduates to ensure that this unique virtual Commencement is a moment that everyone will remember fondly in the future.
Some of you may ask, "why does this happen just when we are graduation?" And some of you may think optimistically that once the vaccines are available and the pandemic is contained, the world will be back to normal, and that we will all live peacefully.
But the world has never been peaceful. Most of the graduates this year were born in 1999, when the magnitude 7.3 earthquake happened on September 21. Four years after, SARS broke out in Asia, including Taiwan. Within another 5 years, the financial crisis, originated in the United States, affected global economies for years. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot landed and caused severe casualties in Taiwan; the H1N1 flu pandemic took hundreds of thousands of lives. These disasters were, at the time, seen as rare catastrophes that would only take place once every few decades, or even centuries.
Looking back to the past 20 years, we’d notice that, even just in Taiwan, catastrophes have never been in short supply. And they will probably never be in the future either.
Of course, the effect of COVID is far beyond SARS and H1N1, and its impact is greater than the financial crises. What came close was the Spanish flu that took place a century ago (1918-1920), when, according to estimation, one-third of the global population was infected and about 50 million people died.
The influenza pandemic outbreak took place at the end of WWI and hit the German military especially hard. And after the pandemic, Germany was forced to cede its territories to the great powers. What followed was the fall of the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires. The series of events reset the international order and formed the settings for many conflicts in the years to come.
While COVID did not break out during a world war, it came at a critical time when great powers bicker and the global supply chains face a reform. The post-pandemic ear is therefore full of uncertainty. I don’t know whether it’d be a "Brave New World"* once the international political and economic orders are reshuffled. But it will be a world we have to live in. There will be many challenges and opportunities, and it will be our new task to utilize what we have learned to tackle challenges and grasp opportunities. Unlike any standardize
d test, you will have to answer and grade the answers yourselves.
I also want to use this opportunity to remind the graduates, that we must have appreciation and gratitude for the healthcare workers who are on the frontlines fighting. Many of them are our faculty members and alums. When the waves of the pandemic hit, they stood up to save lives and protect Taiwan’s society. They are true heroes. As long as we work together, we will weather the crisis and win this battle.
Finally, on behalf of the faculty and management, I send you our deepest best wishes. And congratulations to the parents and families who have supported the graduates for years. I wish you success and good health.
One final thing, I remember reading an article by a foreign writer who said he had lived in Taiwan for years and had noticed that Taiwanese people have a strange habit of saying "be careful" when they part ways. When I read the article, this resonates with me from the heart. For years, my mother would say the same thing whenever I am leaving the house. Now I say the same thing to my children, too. So at this Commencement ceremony, I wish everyone great success in the future, good health, and "be careful."

🙏祭天求雨🌧之際,沒想到蹦出一則趣聞😆~
📰 iPhone missing for 1 year found after Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake recedes
🀄 台灣日月潭退潮後發現失踪1年的iPhone
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's worst drought in over 50 years has been a boon for one lucky tourist who was able to recover a fully functional iPhone that he accidentally dropped into Sun Moon Lake almost exactly one year ago.
📌 台北(台灣新聞)—台灣50年來最嚴重的乾旱,為一位幸運的遊客帶來了福音,他能夠找回他一年前掉進日月潭裡的iPhone,沒想到功能依然正常。
As Taiwan endures its worst drought in 56 years, Sun Moon Lake is seeing a drastic drop in water levels, with some areas completely bone dry. Over the weekend, a member of the Facebook group Bao Fei 1 Commune (爆廢公社) surnamed Chen (陳) announced his iPhone had been found after the area of the lake he dropped it in receded.
📌 台灣經歷了56年來最嚴重的乾旱,日月潭的水位急劇下降,有些地區甚至完全枯竭。上週末,爆廢公社的陳姓成員貼文說,在湖水退潮後,他找到了他去年丟失的iPhone。
Chen wrote that he had been wearing the phone around his neck while paddle boarding on the lake on March 15 of last year but frequently lost his balance and would flop into the water. He stated that on one of the occasions when he fell off the board, the phone disappeared.
📌 陳寫道,去年3月15日在湖上划槳時,他一直戴著手機,但頻頻失去平衡,而掉入水中。他說,當他掉到水裡,電話也不見了!
In anticipation of such spills, he placed the smartphone in a plastic waterproof phone pouch before setting out on the paddleboard. When he lost the phone, a friend optimistically told him, "Rest assured, you'll see your iPhone 11 pro max 512G again in a year."
📌 預料會被水濺到,他將手機放在防水塑料手機袋中,然後才踏上槳板。當他丟掉手機時,一個朋友樂觀地告訴他:“放心,您將在一年後再次看到 iPhone 11 pro max 512G。”
He also wondered aloud to his wife if the phone would be found by a passerby "floating on the lake." Over a year later in early April, as the drought had baked away much of the water from the area he had visited, he received notice that his phone had been found lying on the dry lakebed.
📌 他還跟他的妻子說,是否會被一個“漂浮在湖上”的路人找到電話。一年多以後的4月初,由於乾旱將他所造訪的區域都吸光水了,他卻接到通知說,他的電話被發現在乾燥的湖床上。
On April 2, Chen returned to Sun Moon Lake to find out what state his phone was in. Locals told him the location where his phone was found had not seen the water fully recede in 50 to 60 years.
📌 4月2日,陳回到日月潭,了解手機的狀態。當地人告訴他,手機被發現的位置,在50至60年內,水在這裡沒有完全退潮過。
They added that not long after they picked up his phone, the water started to rise again. Chen said he was so excited by the miraculous find that he suffered insomnia for a few days.
📌 他們又說,拿起他的電話不久後,水位又開始上升。陳說,他對這奇蹟般的發現,感到非常興奮,以至於他連續好幾天都失眠。

人生苦短,
其實人生難免會碰到一些不順利,會沮喪和失落,會有一些負面的情緒。
但其實生命很短暫也很脆弱,如果浪費太多時間在這些負面情緒上,其實真的很浪費生命,做人應該常常保持開朗的心情,樂觀面對每件事情。
我知道不容易,我知道也很難!
但盡力吧!加油!
Life is too short, In fact, life will inevitably encounter some problems, frustration and loss, and some negative emotions. But in fact life is very short and fragile. If you waste too much time on these negative emotions, it is really a waste of life. As a person, you should always keep a cheerful mood and face everything optimistically. I know it is not easy, I know it is also difficult! But do your best! Come on!

Optimistically thinking, the only good thing about me having root resorption (牙根吸收) is that I can provide everyone with an insight on my bad orthodontic treatment experience. This way, those of you who are considering getting braces or Invisalign can take root resorption into consideration (as well as other potential complications).
I will be MIA from my channel for a few weeks in order to fully recover from my surgery on the 28th ^^
我希望呢條片可以幫到諗住去箍牙既朋友!
我呢幾個禮拜都唔會可以上片, 因為我 28/9 做完手術都要時間康復~
