各位领导，各位来宾，各位家长[微博]，老师、同学们：

　　大家好！

　　首先，向已经顺利完成学业，即将从枫叶走向世界的2013届毕业生们和家长表示衷心的祝贺！

　　枫叶国际学校第15届毕业生大连校区807名，武汉校区364名，天津校区150名，重庆校区53名(共1374人)同学拿到了国内外大学的录通知书。加上推迟到年底升学的毕业生总计1500人，升入世界前100位大学比例继续保持50%以上，其中进入世界排名第23位的多伦多大学达100人(其中大连60、武汉35)。枫叶应届毕业生再一次向国际社会证明了枫叶模式培养掌握中英双语、兼具东西方两种思维精英人才的高效能。

　　在同学们即将离开母校的时刻，我依然讲三点希望：

　　第一、不要忘记父母的养育之恩：到达大洋彼岸深造，要刻苦学习，确立好自己的奋斗目标并且坚持不懈的努力，以优异的成绩报答父母；同时，要保持一个健康的体魄。

　　第二、不要忘记祖国：不管走到哪里，都要牢记自己是炎黄子孙，不忘记生于斯、长于斯的这片土地。只有保持了民族传统的人，才能赢得不同族裔的尊重。

　　第三、有空回母校看看：几年来你们与枫叶一同成长壮大。你们一生中最宝贵的一段时间是在枫叶度过的，你们在这里付出了艰辛，留下了足迹，你们的名字已载入枫叶史册。因此，我希望你们有机会回母校看看，看看培育过你们的老师，看看你们生活和学习过的校园，看看枫叶在读的同学们。

　　最后预祝同学们成功！

　　谢谢！

　　Chairman & CEO Address to Graduation Ceremony 2013

　　Dear guests, parents, teachers and students:

　　At this exciting moment when our graduating students, 827from our Dalian School , are leaving Maple Leaf and going abroad, what I would like to say is still my three hopes for all our graduates I have mentioned before。

　　Firstly, I hope you never forget what your parents did for you。

　　Upon arriving at the other side of the Pacific, to further your education, you are expected to work hard, to clearly identify your goals and to make perseverant efforts for it, so that you can repay your parents’ affection and care with your outstanding achievements; and at the same time you are expected to keep good health。

　　Secondly, I hope you never forget your motherland。

　　Wherever you go, remember where you are from. Don’t forget the piece of land where you were born and brought up. Only those who cherish their own national heritages can win respect from other nations。

　　Thirdly, I hope you can come back to see your Alma Mater if possible。

　　The past years witnessed your growth along with Maple Leaf development. You have spent your most valuable time in Maple Leaf where you paid out your sweat and left your footmarks. Your names have been recorded in Maple Leaf history. So, I expect you to come back to our school from time to time, to greet your teachers who have cultivated you, to have a look at the campus where you have lived and studied, and to visit your schoolmates who are still studying here as you did before。

　　Finally, I wish you all success! Thank you。
