The world is like a fleeting show.
It seems but a few years ago,
we came to Tianjin University the first time,
with longing for learning on our minds.
During the hectic campus years,
To fulfill our long-held dreams,
We have worked hard to enrich our lives
to make our country rich and thrive.
Waving goodbye to Tianjin University,
We think of triumphs and of adversity
But standing by us was our alma mater.
Thank you for being there before and ever after.
Happy or sad, we spent all the time together,
Creating precious memories and laughter.
Over many years TJU always gave us the best
So, we fought in the playground and in every debating contest.
From all the corners of the land,
We gathered together, hand in hand,
Like one big family,
Caring for each other happily.
We may feel dejected as we soon part,
But together we’ll make a brand-new start,
Just like a boat not far from shore.
The coming years will bring us more.
Because of your warm companionship,
The coming years promise life-long friendships.
We enriched ourselves with efforts day and night.
Because of you, our future’s bright!
We will long retain precious memories.
And time shall not be our enemy,
But will continue our growth like a cedar tree.
Bending forward with wisdom and gallantry.
It’s so lucky to meet all of you.
Time is too short to explain how true
our deep friendship has now grown,
To enrich our lives as we head home.
In our last moments in the school,
Take time thanking those who helped you.
Linger a while as you clear the dormitory
And the love you have for Tianjin University
Our nurturing home for the best four years,
A time of laughter, struggle, and a few tears
It may be a time for us to depart
A time to look forward with joy in our heart.
No matter what our futures will hold
Our minds are sharp and our hearts are bold
After these years of life in TJU,
Our will is strong and our doubts are few.
Dear graduates,
The farewell day comes. Maybe you still have a lot of words to say, such as thanks to your teacher, words to your friends, expectations for the future, and love for Tianjin University. You could write down your message on the message area.
We are collecting Tianjin University landscape pictures and graduation photos.
Maybe you are a graduate, who is taking pictures on campus to retain youthful memories.
Maybe you are still a student at school, who likes to record TJU’s scenery with camera.
Do you want your work to be posted on the Tianjin University website and the official Weibo and WeChat?
Please submit your work to us, and once adopted you will get a gift!
