亲爱的留学生朋友们：

你们好。

仲夏初茫,七月未央，前方捷报频传。以竺琳同学为代表的优秀学生们陆续通过执业医师资格考试，让全校师生无不欢欣鼓舞，由衷为其高兴。近日更是收悉竺琳同学来信，心中有感慨无数、欣喜万分，盼与你们分享。

石以砥焉，化钝为利，岁月不会辜负任何一分刻苦认真的学习。

在这里，我想和你们分享一下我自己的故事。我成长于不富裕的普通工人家庭，从小我就坚信只有学习才能改变命运。成为医生一直是我的梦想。我深知学医艰难，但是敢于奋斗的人，心中不怕困难。忆及我在美国求学的时光，起初同你们一样，学习的脚步一度被语言障碍所束缚，每天都有大量知识需要消化，也有大量实验等待完成，而我不能完全听明白老师授课，也不太理解学术论文，心情郁结烦闷。一位公交车司机每天早晚的温暖问候深深触动了我，也把快乐传递给了我，心结解开了，我学习起来也更努力了。现在我希望我也能成为你们在中国求学的那个公交车司机，为你们导航，给你们温暖，陪伴你们徜徉医学知识的海洋。

同学们，你们在大好的青春时光里远走他乡，不远万里来此读书，我相信大家定是怀揣着自己的梦想抱负和家人的期盼。我们要坚信付出努力必然有所收获，正如竺琳等同学一样。这6年虽只是人生的一小部分，但它能为你的未来人生注入无限动力，赋予你面临人生困境时所需的勇气和智慧。希望你们能够珍惜时光，不负韶华，努力学习，提高医师职业技能，争取毕业后尽快发挥自己的专业特长，为你的家乡、为人类的健康事业奋斗。

中国有一句诗：此爱翻山海，山海俱可平。意思是，纵使隔了万水千山，只要我们的心在一起，就能跨越一切困难险阻，此爱无关种族，此情不限国界。你们远隔重洋，仍坚守一方屏幕与我们连线，克服时差和种种不便，坚持为学向学。求学的路上你们并不孤单，我们深知同学们的不易，对大家的所思所盼感同身受，学校也始终牵挂着你们。也希望你们此时此刻能在这里，和我们一起为成功通过执医考试的同学庆贺欢呼，更希望你们再接再厉，发愤图强，让青春之光闪耀在为梦想奋斗的道路上，祝福你们能在更高更远的天空翱翔展翅。

Dear students:

We have received messages one after another that some seniors have passed the FMGE(Foreign Medical Graduate Examination). All faculty and staff feel thrilled and inspired for what the students have achieved, and a few days ago, we have received a letter from HITAKSHI SINGH which I want to share with you.

There is an old Chinese saying that you can turn a blunt object to sharp by grinding with the stone. You should believe that all diligence and hard work will be paid in return. Here, I would like to share with you my own story. I grew up in an ordinary worker’s family. Since I was a kid, I have firmly believed that only study can change my destiny and to be a doctor has always been my dream. Just as everybody knows, I know    perfectly that studying medicine is arduous, but for a man who is ready to fight, he would not step back for challenges and difficulties. When I   furthered my study in the USA, just like you, my study was constrained by the language: I could not catch all points made by the teachers, and I could not fully understand the dissertation. Besides, there were plenty of knowledge to take in and lots of experiments to conduct. All these      made me so depressed. However, greetings from a bus driver warmed me and touched me deeply. He passed on happiness to me, which turned   to my impetus to study harder. Now, I hope I can be your bus driver during your study in China: to show you the direction, give you the warmth and accompany you to roam in the sea of medical knowledge.

Dear students, traveling from afar at a young age to pursue knowledge, you must harbor your own dream, ambition and the expectations       from your family. We should all believe that all our efforts will get paid, just like HITAKSHI SINGH. 6 years is just a small part of your life, but it will provide continuous impetus for your future life, equip you with the courage and wisdom you need to face the challenges and difficulties. I sincerely hope you can cherish your study here, work really hard to improve your professional skills, give full play to your expertise and fight  for and contribute to the medical and healthcare cause for your home country or even our mankind.

There is another old Chinese saying that only if our hearts stay together, we can overcome all difficulties and setbacks. The love is beyond   race and nationality. Some of you are hundreds of miles apart from us, but we try all efforts to overcome inconveniences like time difference to be connected with each other through screens. You are not alone in the process of pursuing your dream. We know your difficulties and feel your feelings. We care about you as usual. Here, I’d like you to cheer for those who have passed the FMGE and make persistent efforts in your study and achieve great accomplishments in your career.
