In order to give graduates an unforgettable and meaningful graduation ceremony, the Administrative Office had a full discussion about innovative forms and carefully organized programs and arrangements.

At the ceremony, President Yu Tian kindly said: "No matter how far you go, your alma mater will be always keeping watching on you, caring about you, and supporting you. We will always be your strong backing and reliable harbor. We look forward to seeing you become a great hawk spreading his wings and fighting in the sky and expect your frequent news of victory."

"The general mind of the sea, holding up the ship of life. The general spirit of the mountain, compose the fancy prose of life." When the student choir sang the school song "Holding up the Ship of Life", the familiar melody once again lingered in the ears, and brought many students to tears. The song evoked the youthful memories of the graduates of the ZMU, and it was full of gratitude and blessings to their alma mater.

The graduation ceremony ended in the violin quartet "Friendship forever". Graduates are about to open a new chapter in their lives. In this season of joy, every member of the office will also adhere to a working style of unity, efficiency, and enthusiasm to better serve the teachers and students of the university.
