wang liuyi, wang qianyi shenzhen is the starting point of the dream-chasing journey

"only by striving for perfection in daily training and ensuring that every move is perfect can we be at ease at the moment of competition and not be disturbed by nervousness." wang liuyi and wang qianyi were deeply moved when looking back on the preparations for the paris olympics. during that period, there was both pressure and intensity. during the most difficult period of preparation, their mother rushed to beijing and brought a lot of comfort and encouragement to the sisters, becoming an indispensable source of strength for them on their way forward. "family is an important pillar that enables us to overcome all difficulties and continue to fight."

"in addition to focusing on their studies, we also hope that shenzhen students can deeply explore their inner selves, carefully think about and carefully plan their future blueprints, and gradually outline a clear and definite growth path in the process." in the eyes of wang liuyi and wang qianyi, learning is a journey of continuous self-improvement and overcoming challenges for the vast number of students in shenzhen, just like sports competition is for them. "everyone will encounter obstacles on the road to growth. looking back on our past, we have been adjusting our mindsets and striving forward under pressure almost every day for the past 20 years. similarly, high school students also need to master a variety of methods to actively adjust their learning mindsets to ensure that they are in the best condition to meet every challenge."

since the initial training at the shenzhen sports school, wang liuyi and wang qianyi have embarked on their journey, and then underwent the rigorous training of the guangdong provincial team, and finally achieved self-transcendence on the broad stage of the national team. along the way, every step shines with the light of sweat and tears, condensed into the most precious wealth on their growth path. "shenzhen, this hot land, has witnessed our growth. there is a strong sports atmosphere here, advanced sports venues and facilities, and domestic and international competitions are held all year round, providing valuable training opportunities." the sisters said that the city of shenzhen is the starting point of their dream-chasing journey. the increasingly improved sports facilities and strong sports atmosphere have become the unique charm of this city. "the school's emphasis on physical education has also laid a solid foundation for us to embark on a professional path."

talking about their deep understanding and personal feelings about the concept of "adulthood", wang liuyi and wang qianyi said: "adulthood is the beginning of shouldering more responsibilities and obligations. it not only means that we have to pursue higher excellence in synchronized swimming, but also means that we have to actively devote ourselves to society and use our own strength to add a touch of color to the world. we hope that through our unremitting efforts, we can inspire more young friends to bravely pursue their dreams, fearless of the difficulties and obstacles ahead, and take every step firmly and move forward courageously."

jiang erman's "adulthood" is a process of continuous transformation

jiang erman was extremely excited to know that she would be a role model of youth and give a speech at this coming-of-age ceremony to share her experience. to this end, she deeply explored the rich connotations and profound significance of the "coming-of-age ceremony" and carefully wrote her infinite expectations for the youth of shenzhen. "while preparing my speech, i reviewed my growth footprints and life in the city of shenzhen. at the same time, i was full of longing for the new chapter of my life that was about to unfold." she deeply realized that "adulthood" is actually a gradual and continuous transformation process, and everyone is tirelessly exploring themselves and taking on responsibilities on this road. "i firmly believe that youth is a golden period of freedom and vigorous growth, and as we enter the ranks of adults, we need to cherish the cultivation of innovative spirit, independent personality and fraternal love even more."

at the age of 7, she wrote "the lamp burned a hole in the night", which caused a sensation on the internet. at the age of 10, she was named "motie poetry award·china's top ten poets in 2018". she has published 4 poetry collections so far. she has been invited to participate in programs such as cctv's "the reader" and hunan satellite tv's "day day up". her works have appeared in journals such as "poetry magazine" and "poetry tide". jiang erman shines on the literary stage, attracting widespread attention as a "shenzhen young poet", and continues to forge ahead on the journey of poetry creation. she said that the diverse and integrated cultural atmosphere of shenzhen has opened the door to a vast world for her. "shenzhen, this inclusive and innovative city, has given me unlimited freedom and courage in my creation, allowing me to break free from the shackles of traditional frameworks. i am lucky to be born here. the unique temperament and thinking mode of this city are deeply imprinted in every detail of my life."

"i am also full of longing for my life as an adult. i dream of getting a driver's license, embarking on a journey, and traveling around every corner of the world," jiang erman said. she longs to emulate the writer sanmao, travel around the world, meet all kinds of people, and turn the myriad forms of life into a constant source of creative inspiration for her writing. "although my original intention of embarking on the road of writing is pure and simple, i also hope that my words can touch the hearts of others and convey a free and unrestrained state of mind that refuses to be formatted. i hope that through the medium of writing, i can continue to dig deeper and explore the true face of society and life. this is the unshirkable responsibility and mission as a creator."

lin junfeng: shenzhen is the choice of "one city unchanged"

lin junfeng is always grateful when recalling his growing up experience in shenzhen. although he was not born and raised here, he is deeply rooted here. he has received education here since he was a child and has gained a lot. from shangbu primary school to futian middle school, the rich and colorful club activities on campus have had a profound impact on him. in particular, as the president of the japanese language club at futian middle school, this identity not only gave him a platform to learn japanese, but also allowed him to meet a group of like-minded friends and grow together. he organized activities with club members, wrote and directed promotional videos, and signed up to participate in the fuzhou micro film festival, and finally won the best promotion award. this experience made lin junfeng deeply appreciate the sweet fruits of experimentation and innovation.

it was this confidence that made him firm in his interest at the critical moment of the college entrance examination and apply for the experimental class of mathematical finance (double degree in finance and mathematics) of the school of economics of shenzhen university. after four years of undergraduate study, he continued his studies and obtained a master's degree in statistics from the school of mathematics and statistics of shenzhen university. during his college years, lin junfeng won more than ten competition awards, including the special prize (the highest award) of the american college mathematical modeling competition, with his enthusiasm for his profession. he has also won many honors, including the national scholarship, tencent founder scholarship, and liyuan excellence star nomination award. "i remember participating in the mathematical modeling competition for the first time when i was a freshman at shenzhen university. it was a challenging and difficult process. my teammates and i needed to complete a 20- to 30-page mathematical paper in three to four days. when we finally won the award and had the opportunity to represent the school in the provincial competition, the sense of accomplishment and pride made me unforgettable until now." lin junfeng said frankly that in the process of competition again and again, he became more determined in his love for mathematical modeling, and at the same time exercised the ability to be highly focused, which is a precious asset for him.

after graduating from shenzhen university, lin junfeng chose to join huawei and continue to stay in shenzhen. in the interview, he said with emotion: "shenzhen is not just the name of a city, it is my childhood, my youth, and my future." regarding his choice of staying in the same city, lin junfeng expressed his own views, "shenzhen not only has advanced teaching concepts, but also keeps pace with the international community, allowing me to be exposed to the latest theoretical knowledge from abroad, so that i can find more possibilities and directions on the road of learning. i believe that by staying in shenzhen to develop, i can realize more possibilities and play a greater role."

"youth at the age of 18 is a time of constant experimentation and self-challenging. in the process of experimentation and challenge, we slowly find out our own interests and make them our driving force. we don't need to care whether this path is right or wrong. as long as we try and pursue, that's enough." he encouraged students who are about to enter adulthood to bravely step out of their comfort zone, clarify their interests through continuous experimentation, and constantly accept challenges to help themselves form core competitiveness. "youth is a book that is too hasty, but as long as we write it carefully, every chapter will become the most exciting chapter in our lives." lin junfeng said.
