Dear leaders and guests, hello everyone!
My name is Patrick Lee, and I am the cofounder of Loughborough Alumni China. I am honored to be invited to attend today’s National Day gathering.
On behalf of the Alumni Association, I would like to congratulate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and wish the motherland prosperity and its people peace and contentment in their lives and work!
Looking back at modern Chinese history, we can see that the prosperous and convenient living environment we enjoy today in mainland China is all due to the selfless dedication and struggle of generations of our ancestors.
As Chinese overseas scholars, we not only understand the essence of domestic culture but also learn about foreign cultures and systems. We are keen to participate in the construction and development of our motherland and pass on our experience to the public, especially the younger generations.
My own involvement with the UK university alumni association stems from my belief in the power of these organizations. The alumni association can continue the study abroad experience and expand the platform for future career development for international students. Furthermore, China has a huge population of overseas returnees and has great development potential.
As we all know, our country has highly efficient transportation and communication infrastructure. This means that products and resources in remote rural areas can be easily sold to domestic big cities and even overseas markets, successfully making people in remote rural areas wealthy.
Similarly, the alumni association is like the infrastructure of interpersonal communication. It can help alumni socialize and empower themselves. It can also accelerate personal learning and career development. In addition, the alumni association is like a safe haven where alumni find guidance and communication within the alumni group.
The overseas alumni group in the Greater Bay Area, China, has been well developed, with online social groups and frequent gatherings. Alumni are welcome to contact alumni association representatives to jointly build the alumni association and contribute to building a better China!
Thank you all!

各位领导, 嘉宾, 大家好!
我是李國強, 是拉夫堡中国校友会共同創始人, 我荣幸获邀参与今天国庆聚会。我代表校友会祝贺 中华人民共和国成立75周年, 并祝愿祖国繁荣昌盛, 人民安居乐业!
回顾近代中国历史, 我们今天在中国大陆享受到富足和便捷的生活环境, 是全靠我们祖上几代人民的无私付出和奋斗建立起来的。
作为海外归国留学生 – 我们既懂得国内的文化精髓, 同时进修了国外的各专业知识; 我们很希望参与祖国的建设发展, 服务于大众, 尤其是年青一代。
二十年前，我开始参与大学校友会在中国的拓展, 是因为我认为，校友会能作为留学生延续留学体验和扩展日后事业发展的平台。其次，中国有庞大的海归人口, 校友会的发展潜力丰厚。
经过几十年发展，我国建成了高效的交通网络和通迅基础建设, 偏远乡郊的物产和资源能容易地卖到国内大城市, 甚至海外市场, 成功地让偏远乡郊人民富裕起来。
同样地, 校友会好比人际沟通的基础建设, 可帮助校友社交和赋能，轻松链接到不同校友资源，加快个人学习成长和事业发展; 校友会也像是个避风港湾, 校友们在校友群里找到友谊和知己。
目前，湾区的海归校友群已发展成一定规模, 有线上的社交群组, 有定期大型活动和聚会。 欢迎校友们多联系校友会代表, 共同建设校友会, 建设美好中国贡献!
多谢大家!
