我们為青年学子加油

每年春风吹过城市、美南新闻团队迎来麦当劳教育大展之时，大讲堂彷彿被一种柔和而明亮的力量充满。当我看见那一张张年轻的面孔踏入会场，那些带着梦想、带着未来光芒的眼睛，总会让我心底最柔软的地方微微颤动。

那不是普通的场景。
那是希望正在生长的声音，
是无数家庭深深的祝愿，
是国家未来在悄悄向我们走来。

我常在那一刻感到一股说不出的激动，像是一条温暖的河流，慢慢淹没了心房。於是我会轻轻抬起头，让泪光在灯下悄悄乾去，不让人看见，也不让那份感动被打扰。

我常对妻子、也对同仁们说：
能陪伴青年，是上天赋予我们的恩典；
能点亮梦想，是社会交给我们最神圣的责任。

这不是一场活动，也不是一份工作，
而是一个时代托付给我们的使命。

金钱能带来丰盛的生活，
却买不到孩子们眼中的光；
利益能换来短暂的掌声，
却无法替代那份看着青年起飞的心安与喜悦。

每当典礼结束，孩子们带着奖学金、带着自信、带着被肯定的笑容走出大门时，我总会在心裡对自己悄悄说：
——我们没有辜负社会的期待。
——我们做的，是一件真正能让世界变得更好的事。

而正是这些孩子，让我相信：
明天一定比今天更美好。
而我们，也因為能為他们加油，而让生命更加饱满、深沉、充满光亮。

Cheering for Our youngsters 

Every spring, when a gentle breeze sweeps across the city and our Southern News team gathers once again for the McDonald’s Education Expo, the grand hall seems to fill with a soft yet radiant energy. Whenever I see those young faces stepping into the venue—their eyes bright with dreams and the light of tomorrow—something deep and tender within me begins to tremble ever so slightly.

It is not an ordinary scene.

It is the sound of hope quietly taking root.

It is the unspoken blessing of countless families.

It is the future of our nation walking toward us with steady steps.

In those moments, I often feel a surge of emotion rising within me, warm and unstoppable, like a gentle river flooding the chambers of my heart. I lift my head just a little, letting the shimmer in my eyes dry quietly beneath the lights—unnoticed, undisturbed, yet deeply felt.

I often tell my wife, and I tell my colleagues as well:

To walk alongside our youth is a gift bestowed upon us by heaven.

To help illuminate their dreams is the most sacred responsibility society has entrusted to us.

This is not merely an event.

It is not merely a task.

It is a mission handed to us by our time.

Wealth can bring comfort,

but it cannot buy the light we see in a young person’s eyes.

Profit may earn applause,

but it can never replace the peace and joy that come from watching a new generation take flight.

Each time the ceremony ends and the students step out with scholarships in hand—carrying confidence, carrying recognition, carrying smiles bright with possibility—I whisper silently to myself:

—We have not failed the expectations of our community.

—We have done something that truly makes the world better.

And it is these young people who make me believe—

tomorrow will surely shine brighter than today.

And because we can cheer for them and walk beside them,

our own lives, too, become fuller, deeper, and illuminated with meaning.
