"as a sports fan, during the summer vacation, i saw senior deng lijuan break her personal best three times in a row in the olympic games through live broadcast, constantly breaking through herself and refreshing the asian record. i was very excited in front of the tv at that time. when i learned that she was the senior from donghua university, where i applied, i was looking forward to meeting her in person." said lou yuwen, a 24-year freshman in management science and engineering at glorious sun business school.
in the first class of the new semester, the students asked deng lijuan questions enthusiastically, and deng lijuan answered them one by one.
"representing the country and standing on the olympic arena, shouldering the expectations of the country and the people, every time i climb in the arena, i break through myself. this olympic silver medal is not only a reward for my years of hard training, but also a microcosm of the chinese rock climbing team's fearlessness and perseverance in the past few years. i am very happy to be able to take a short break in the intense preparation process, walk into the first class of the freshmen school and meet my younger classmates. we must do what we love and love what we do. if we have a dream, we must pursue it. while we are young, we must show our best side. we are all our best role models!" deng lijuan said when asked about her feelings about participating in the olympics and her advice to her younger classmates.
on that day, liu weiwen, deputy general manager of sunrise trading (china) co., ltd. and general manager of jeanswest electronics, presented the scholarship to deng lijuan as a representative of the company. "she set sail because of her passion, was not afraid of transformation, and took root in the world of rock climbing and went against the current; she surpassed because of persistence, and became stronger when facing strong opponents, and she deserved the title of speed queen; she inherited because of responsibility, climbed endlessly, and told the chinese sports spirit; she burned her will, carved with blood and sweat, and became the 'spider-man' on the rock climbing wall; she was neither sad nor happy, and worked hard to break her personal best record again and again." shen jie, director of the development liaison office of donghua university, read out the award speech for deng lijuan.
