First and foremost I would like to recognize those who made this important day possible．Special thanks to our -families, -our governments, -the government of China, -MOFCOM our sponsor, -YUFE, the facility, school of Overseas, -our Dean, -our program coordinator, -our teachers, -and staff．
The decision to choose a suitable place to study and stay can be a daunting process, because of important factors to consider. Usually the three main factors would be: firstly, the quality of the education; Secondly, the living environment and culture. China truly offers the best: both living, learning experience and culture are friendly to foreigners.
YUFE is indeed an international university making dreams come true for promising students like myself and fellow international students. This is why the decision to choose China has been most fulfilling. And, thanks to China for choosing us.
It feels like yesterday when we received the good news about the scholarship. It feels like yesterday when we boarded the flight to China and waved our families goodbyes. Yes, it feels like yesterday when we started our first class, and introduced to our teachers.
I remember the first class, we were so eager. We met as classmates from different countries. We all became friends, studied together and shared meals together. As classmates we embraced each other’s cultures and background.
What a great time to have studied in China, witnessing the historical events that occurred; like winning of the battle against Covid-19. We will miss the upcoming Olympics 2022, all the Best! I must say, there is a strong bond that has been created connecting us to China, wherever we go in the world.
It’s been almost two years since we started our masters. We are an exceptional group with so much success. we have flourished in so many school activities including the published articles at national and provincial level, victory of the football game, participating in other sporting activities, social and cultural activities.
For all of us the Final year was the toughest, shifting to online learning, it required our full commitment and hard-work. The teachers offered us unlimited support and guidance. Indeed, this demonstrated that with great team work and dedication, anything is possible.
For this entire journey, it was made possible by our outstanding teachers who against all odds made sure we get the best education. It is from their selflessness act and professionalism that we are equipped with the skills and knowledge to deliver on project management. Not only that, they took good care of us.
Truth be said, not only did we benefit academically, studying here has taught us more; it has instilled in us the character of resilience, trust, togetherness sharpening our character. China’s YUFE allowed us to develop an international perspective. And most importantly understand the best of China, the colorful Yunnan-Kunming and our amazing school.
YUFE created a platform for us to interact and appreciate each other’s diversity cultures and lifestyles. Indeed, YUFE does deliver on its promises, and for that we have so much trust in the school and China as whole.
For us graduates we are deeply honored to becoming part of YUFE family, and making us ambassadors of China. This is a life changing milestone in our lives. China feels like the second home.
President Xi for China’s vision of "a bright shared Future" is most desirable for the world. Now that we have an international view. The aspirations to realize the shared vision for humankind, now dwells in us as individuals in our own unique ways.
Let’s aspire to be positive change markers. We are a step in the right direction to contribute towards our countries’ developments and the improvement of our people’s livelihoods.
We have made friendships and unforgettable memories to hold dearly in our hearts.
Farewell, farewell dear teachers, we will never forget you. Our hearts are filled with sorrow, because we are leaving you. But the beauty of our relationship is the deepest and will remain forever.
And to us fellow students, we made it!
Congratulations to class of 2019

首先，我要感謝那些使這一重要日子成為可能的人,，特別感謝我們的家人,、我們的政府和中國(guó)政府，以及項(xiàng)目的主辦方中國(guó)商務(wù)部,，承辦方云南財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué),、海外學(xué)院和我們的老師。
選擇到某個(gè)合適的地方學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)修可能是一個(gè)艱難的決定,，因?yàn)橛泻芏嘀匾囊蛩匦枰紤],，主要包括三個(gè)方面：首先是教育質(zhì)量，然后是環(huán)境和文化,。無論是生活,、學(xué)習(xí)、文化對(duì)外國(guó)人的友好程度,，中國(guó)無疑是最好的選擇,。
云南財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)確實(shí)是一所國(guó)際化的大學(xué)，能夠讓像我一樣有追求的國(guó)際學(xué)生實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想，這就是為什么我認(rèn)為選擇中國(guó)的決定是最有意義的,。而且,，也感謝中國(guó)選擇我們。
時(shí)間飛逝,，這感覺就像昨天我們剛收到獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的好消息,，昨天我們剛登上了飛往中國(guó)的航班，向家人揮手告別,。是的,，感覺就像昨天我們開始上第一節(jié)課，向老師介紹自己,。
我記得第一節(jié)課,，我們求知若渴。來自不同國(guó)家的同學(xué)成為好朋友,，一起學(xué)習(xí),，一起生活。作為同學(xué),，我們彼此接納了多彩的文化和背景,。
在中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)是非常美好的時(shí)光。我們見證了中國(guó)打贏抗疫之戰(zhàn),。我們將錯(cuò)過即將到來的2022年冬奧會(huì),，但祝愿一切順利。我必須說,，無論我們走到世界的哪個(gè)角落,，我們都與中國(guó)建立了緊密的聯(lián)系。
兩年以來,，我們成為了一個(gè)非常優(yōu)秀的群體,，取得了巨大的成功，我們積極參加學(xué)校的許多活動(dòng),，包括在國(guó)家級(jí)媒體（中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)）發(fā)表文章,，贏得足球比賽，參加運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì),，以及豐富的社會(huì)和文化活動(dòng),。
對(duì)我們所有人來說，最后一年是最艱難的一年,。轉(zhuǎn)向在線學(xué)習(xí),，需要我們?nèi)σ愿啊＿€好老師們給了我們很大的支持和指導(dǎo),。事實(shí)上,，這表明了偉大的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作和奉獻(xiàn)精神,，使得任何事情都是可能的。
在這整個(gè)過程中,，我們優(yōu)秀的老師們使得我們接受了最好的教育,，他們的無私奉獻(xiàn)和專業(yè)精神讓我們具備了項(xiàng)目管理的知識(shí)和技能，不僅如此,，他們還給予了我們無微不至的照顧,。
說實(shí)話，我們不僅在學(xué)術(shù)上受益,，在這里學(xué)習(xí)也教會(huì)了我們很多,，堅(jiān)韌、信任,、團(tuán)結(jié)的鍛煉,，磨礪了我們的性格。多彩的云南昆明,，我們令人驚嘆的學(xué)校,，讓我們開拓了國(guó)際視野，最重要的是了解了中國(guó)的精神,。
云南財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)為我們創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)平臺(tái),，讓我們相互交流，欣賞彼此多元的文化和生活方式,。事實(shí)上,，學(xué)校確實(shí)兌現(xiàn)了自己的承諾，為此我們對(duì)學(xué)校和整個(gè)中國(guó)都非常信任,。
對(duì)于我們畢業(yè)生來說，我們非常榮幸能成為云南財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)大家庭的一員,，這也自然而然地使我們成為中國(guó)的大使,。這是我們生活中一個(gè)改變?nèi)松睦锍瘫袊?guó)就像第二故鄉(xiāng),。
習(xí)近平主席對(duì)中國(guó)“人類命運(yùn)共同體”的愿景是世界最向往的?，F(xiàn)在我們有了國(guó)際視野，實(shí)現(xiàn)人類共同愿景的愿望現(xiàn)在以我們自己獨(dú)特的方式存在于我們作為個(gè)體的內(nèi)心之中,。
我們立志成為改革者,，正朝著正確方向邁進(jìn)，為我們國(guó)家的發(fā)展,、改善我們的人民生活作出貢獻(xiàn),。
我們建立了友誼，有難忘的回憶,，都將在我們心中珍藏,。
萬般不舍,，再見！親愛的老師們,，我們不會(huì)忘記你們,，我們的心充滿了悲傷，因?yàn)槲覀兙鸵x開,。但我們感情至深,，并將永存心間。
