This year, Chang Gung University sent off 1,613 graduates (49 doctoral students, 502 master students and 1,062 bachelor students) off campus. Lin Shanzhi, general manager of the plastic company, Huang Zhenqing, director, Chen Jianzong, president of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Huang Dongzhi, vice president of National Sports University, Zhuang Haihua, vice chairman of the Alumni Association, and other distinguished guests attended the ceremony.

Tang Mingzhe first congratulated the graduates for completing their studies, and please express your gratitude to their parents. He then said in his speech that even if everyone graduated from a professional college, don't think that the future will be smooth sailing. If you feel that everything is going well, you should reflect on whether your goals are too small, or whether you have not given full play to your talents. At this time, please look for the "Adversity Bodhisattva", and think about the future direction and the way to stand up again in the midst of failure.

Tang Mingzhe took the founders of Formosa Plastics, Wang Yongqing and Wang Yongzaixian, as examples. At the beginning of their business, they encountered many setbacks and encountered adversity. After overcoming all difficulties one by one, Formosa Plastics was able to achieve the scale it is today. However, he also reminded the graduates that when encountering minor setbacks, they should try their best to move forward bravely, but if the Bodhisattva of adversity becomes a fierce god, maybe they should think about whether to stick to the road ahead or change the course. At the end of the speech, he personally read a speech written with the help of ChatGPT. The principal said that the introduction of new technologies will make life and everything more convenient, and he also encourages students to apply more.

Before delivering his speech, Wang Wenyuan first wished the graduates success in their studies, and they will soon step out of the society to start another stage of study. Immediately after referring to the changes in the world situation and the challenges facing Taiwan’s industrial economy, he took South Asia Technology Company as an example, emphasizing that cutting-edge technology requires a lot of funds and talents. In the face of digital transformation and competition, it is expected that school education will be more integrated with practice, meet social needs, improve the competitiveness of students, and cultivate talents needed by the national industry.

In addition, Wang Wenyuan also reminded the graduates to keep in mind that there is no such thing as a free lunch when applying for a job, and don’t be greedy, as only hard work can yield reaping rewards. We should also give full play to the spirit of the school motto "diligence and simplicity", keep learning, improve knowledge and technology, and accumulate strength. I hope that everyone can be proud of Chang Gung University, use outstanding performance to improve society, and become a role model for younger students.

At this year's ceremony, Wang Wenyuan presented a special award in recognition of Wang Shaocheng, a graduate of the Department of Information Engineering. When Wang was 12 years old, his motor nerves were paralyzed by a virus, and he started a life with a respirator and an electric wheelchair. But he did not bow to fate, and actively developed his potential. He won the 2016 Presidential Education Award for his painting ability in junior high school. In 2023, with outstanding academic performance and outstanding performance in extracurricular activities, social services and off-campus internships, he has demonstrated his ability to give back to the society, and won the President's Education Award for the second time.
