In the afternoon, the Qiuzhen Lecture Hall was filled with a solemn yet warm atmosphere. The ceremony commenced with stirring music. Professor Wang Wei, Dean of the college, delivered the opening address, extending warm congratulations on behalf of all faculty and students to the graduates who had successfully completed their studies. He offered three maxims as heartfelt exhortations: “be cleareyed optimists,” “be downtoearth idealists,” and “be scientists with warmth and doers with vision.” He encouraged the graduates to forever preserve their curiosity for truth and to integrate their personal academic pursuits into the great journey of national development and human progress.

Professor Lan Guangqiang, representing the faculty, shared memories of his own student years and recalled the unforgettable times of mutual learning and collaborative exploration with the students. He offered three earnest expectations for the graduates: uphold academic integrity, maintaining a quest for truth and a critical spirit; sustain a passion for lifelong learning, embracing change with an open mind and innovative courage; and cherish life, remain grateful, and treasure the bonds with family and friends. On behalf of all supervisors, he wished the graduates smooth sailing and a bright future.

Graduate representative Ke Ziyi delivered an emotional speech, looking back on his sevenyear academic journey at BUCT. He shared his research dedication in the field of physical electronics—"seeing clarity through chaos"—and expressed deep gratitude to his mentors for their guidance, to his classmates for their warm companionship, and to his family for their unwavering support. He stated that after graduation he would devote himself to the electronic information industry, confronting critical technological bottlenecks, breaking through barriers with his knowledge, and serving the country through science and technology, while earnestly practicing the university motto: "Great Virtue and Broad Learning, Transform Nature through Science and Technology."

During the solemn degreeconferring segment, Deputy Secretary Song Laixin read out the "Decision on Degree Conferral by the Academic Degree Evaluation Committee of Beijing University of Chemical Technology." Then, to the rousing music, Deputy Secretary Song and faculty representatives together turned the tassels and conferred degree certificates upon each master’s graduate. With the tassels gently moved, the rite of academic completion was fulfilled, and a new journey began from this moment.

The ceremony drew to a successful close with sustained applause, followed by group photos that captured this glorious moment. The master’s graduates of the Class of 2026 from the College of Mathematics and Physics, laden with their alma mater’s blessings and best wishes, will now embark on diverse paths in research, education, industry, and beyond, continuing to write new chapters of honor for BUCT students on a broader stage.
