Chapter 115 Graduation Ceremony
"Our commencement ceremony will start in Alumni Memorial Park in 10 minutes."

"Undergraduate and master's candidates, please look for the flags of their respective colleges and wait in the square formation."

"Doctoral candidates, please assemble at the Bovard Auditorium."

"Once again, our graduation ceremony will officially begin in 10 minutes."

Every year, USC has many big days to remember and celebrate.

On Move-In Day in mid-August, tens of thousands of freshmen traveled from all over the world to report to the campus.They lug their luggage full of clothes, sneakers, books and dreams, filling apartment buildings and proudly calling Los Angeles their future home.

In late November, the Trojans take on the Bruins, one of the most high-profile sporting events in the entire United States. 11 people, wearing cardinal red or space blue, competed for the next year's school breath with football at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium and the Rose Bowl Stadium.

In early April, the USC Concert Committee, which is operated and managed by students, will also organize the biggest music festival of the year - Spring Fest, Katy Perry, Migos, 4 Chainz.In the McCarthy Square, the most representative music superstars in Los Angeles presented exciting performances for the best students in Los Angeles.

Of course, there are still many important seasons that can witness the crowds on campus. Whether it is half-term exams, final exams, or even normal game days, the 229-acre University of Southern California will be crowded.

Going through the tailgate party where you open the trunk of the car on the lawn or any open space, set up a barbecue grill, and drink cold beer while flipping pork neck, and go to the library alone to catch up on papers, at the time, it may have seemed like a dream. An annoying nuisance.But when Han Yi stood under the flag of the Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism, leaned on the metal railing, looked up at the national flags fluttering in the Bovard Administration Building, and waited quietly for the commencement of the graduation ceremony, all the messy emotions melted away. For a cavity hovering in the chest and throat, unspeakable emotion.

Sure enough, no matter how lively other big days are, for a student and a school, the most important thing is graduation day after all.

Han Yi is about to graduate again.

the second time.

There is no more symbolic life milestone than today.

When the dean turned the tassel of the hat from right to left, the best years of life passed quietly amidst applause and cheers.

Among the tens of thousands of graduates and the tens of thousands of ceremony audiences, Han Yi was convinced that he was the only one who could experience the same graduation ceremony twice.

This made him feel more deeply and sincerely grateful for his hard-won second life.

Even if there is no wealth and feedback mechanism, the extra seven years are the most precious gift box anyone can ask for.

In the gift box, there are many things that he dreamed of, but thought he would never get again.

such as……

Han Yi withdrew his gaze from the array of ten thousand national flags and turned to the four women standing in front of him across the railing.

Mom and grandma were a little farther away, holding up their mobile phones to take pictures of him.Standing in front of him were Xiaoru and Yuzhen who were helping him to organize his clothes and check his appearance.

"Yi Yi, you really know how to wear it, you..."

Taking off Han Yi's graduation ribbon that was randomly draped over his shoulders, and arranging it according to the pattern, Xu Yiru complained in a low voice.

"I just tidied it up for you, and messed it up again."

"Where's your rope of honor?"

Straightening Han Yi's square-topped graduation cap and smoothing the tassels that were blown by the wind, Zhao Youzhen took half a step back and glanced at him up and down.

"here."

Han Yi took out a golden honor rope with round knot tassels on both ends from his pocket, and waved it in front of Yuzhen's eyes.

"Why don't you wear it?" Zhao Youzhen asked, "Afraid that others will know that you are Summa cum Laude?"

"I wasn't afraid..."

Han Yi turned his head and looked at the familiar faces at Annenberg College who often appeared in the same classroom as him.Graduation ceremony is the happiest day in four years of college life. No matter how old-fashioned and dull a bookworm is, today they will allow themselves to discover the beauty and surprises of life as much as possible.

And what else can be more beautiful than two dazzling Far East pearls?

What could be more amazing than these two beauties standing in front of a boy at the same time, patiently and gently helping him arrange his graduation robe?
Those who didn't know each other very well stood at the edge of the crowd with their arms crossed, watching the show with a gossiping expression.Those who have met a few times will share the little information they know with their classmates on twitter.

As for Facebook friends in the same class or even in the same discussion group, they clapped and whistled.

"It's not fair, brother!"

A young man with an Indian face screamed strangely.

"You both went to the same college, why can you have two girlfriends?"

Following the laughter, Han Yi found that this was the member of his and Xiaoru's COMM209 speech team.Beside him, stood Zhong Limin, who graduated from the same year.

The latter is beyond ridiculous.

The second young master of the Dim Sum family doesn't look sweet at all.

Because, even if the person who was joking was standing beside him, Xu Yiru's eyes never moved away from Han Yi's face.

She is still helping him tidy up his academic robes.

"Because I am a dual cultivation!"

Never having been teased by others, Han Yi raised the ribbon around his neck and raised his voice a little.

This graduation ribbon, which he bought for 75 US dollars and estimated to be 75 cents from Yiwu, has the names of two colleges written on it.

USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.

USC Thornton School of Music.

"introduce!"

"Annenberg and Thornton... are the characters too small?"

"No, I mean, introduce your girlfriends!"

"Ah, okay, this is Grace-None Of-Xu..."

Han Yi generously spread his hands on both sides and smiled.

"Another one, Yujin-Your Damn Business-Zhao."

Han Yi's witty and humorous counterattack caused a burst of laughter from the surroundings. Afterwards, the students who had watched the fun returned to their temporary social circles.

For most people, there are many points to focus on today, and Han Yi, Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen are just an interesting episode.

What's more, no one thought that Han Yi could really have two girlfriends of this level at the same time.

What does he have?Billion dollars?
"That's why I don't wear a rope of honor."

Han Yi let out a long sigh of relief and shrugged.

"You two are enough to make eye contact, and if you wear a rope of honor, will others still survive?"

"You can talk, Yiyi."

Xu Yiru took Zhao Youzhen's arm and hummed twice.

"It's really ugly and kind."

"The heart is not good either." Zhao Youzhen added with a slight smile, "the one who gave me a nickname with dirty words."

"That's just in time..."

"Mom, look..."

Not far away, Ling Lan and Tian Zongyun have completed the punch-in shooting of the middle-aged and elderly tour group.Mother Han looked at the three noisy children and put her hand on the latter's shoulders.

"Your grandson is promising. Two in a row."

"What a string of two, nonsense."

The upright old lady glared at her daughter.

"One is enough."

At this moment, the passionate brass music from the campus PA system interrupted Ling Lan's rebuttal.

"Ladies, the 133rd graduation ceremony will begin in a few minutes."

"When the parade ceremony begins, the graduates will enter from the four corners of the Alumni Park. The students will follow behind the large cardinal red and gold college flags, led by the faculty holding a ceremonial baton with the university emblem on it. Accompanied by the ceremonial officer, sit in order."

"The rest of the faculty and doctoral candidates will enter the venue from Bovard Hall. They will be followed in procession by the coat of arms of the different faculties that confer degrees on students today. Recipients of the Ph.D. will wear the The cardinal red and gold doctoral gowns of the University of Southern California."

"It's time to start."

Han Yi glanced at the loudspeaker above his head, and he swore that this was the slowest and most standard English pronunciation he had heard in the four years since he came to the United States.

"Xiaoru, Yuzhen, I'm going to prepare to enter the arena first. Find a good seat and sit... No, don't find a good seat, don't take pictures!"

"What would you do if we had to take pictures?"

"I can……"

Han Yi scowled and said solemnly.

"Very, very, very disturbing."

"Then let's see how troublesome you can be." Xu Yiru became more and more enthusiastic, took out his phone and immediately took a picture of Han Yi, "If you don't leave, I will continue to take pictures."

"Okay, when you fall asleep on the road, you can see if I can take pictures." Han Yi smiled helplessly, and then waved to his mother and grandmother who were standing behind and were about to be overwhelmed by the crowds pouring into the venue .

"Mom, mother-in-law, I'm in!"

"Don't worry, you go quickly, we will take good care of them." Chao Hanyi nodded, Yuzhen pulled Xiaoru up, half-wrapped the thin and petite latter in his arms to protect, and walked through the crowd with difficulty, to and fro Ling Lan and Tian Zongyun moved away.

Just as the four rendezvoused, the invigorating brass of the USC Marching Band sounded again, this time accompanied by deep, melodious trombones and deafening timpani.

"Now! Ladies and gentlemen!"

"The entrance ceremony has officially begun!"

The "Hymn to Troy" composed by Ronald Broadwell, the former director of the military band, sounded in 1965, and the audience on both sides of the venue, including the student phalanx where Han Yi was, were all applauded like a tide , cheering and screaming drowned out.

"ladies and gentlemen……"

"A section on your far left, entering from the northwest corner of Alumni Park, includes degree candidates from the following schools: School of Architecture, Saul-Price School of Public Policy, Rossier School of Education, Thornton School of Music , the Academy of Motion Picture Arts, and the Leventhal School of Accountancy!"

Han Yi tiptoed a little, looking at the good friends from the Conservatory of Music who were entering the arena, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew stronger.In his last life, he stood in the phalanx of the Thornton Conservatory of Music, enjoying applause from all directions with those students majoring in the music industry who were taking selfies, dancing, singing, or waving.

As for why you have to stand in the team of the Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism this time?
Since I have graduated twice from my undergraduate degree, the second experience must be different.

After the main ceremony is over, he will go to Annenberg's college certificate awarding ceremony to see how the two colleges differ in their graduation process.

It's a pity that there is no Yelp specifically for graduation ceremonies, otherwise I would have two reviews.

"Also to your left, Block B, entrance from northeast corner of Alumni Park, includes candidates from the following schools: Marshall School of Business, and Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism!"

Regardless of the fact that the master of ceremonies only studied in two colleges, the total number of people in District B is actually much larger than that in District A.Marshall and Annenberg have always been among the top colleges of the University of Southern California and among the colleges with the largest number of students.

There are 951 undergraduate, master's and doctoral candidates graduating today from the Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.

You can't see the end in front, and you can't see the end in the future.The young girls of all ethnicities are the majority of the crowd around him, and they are basically hot girls who walk on the streets of Los Angeles with a high rate of turning heads.

Thinking of this, Han Yi subconsciously glanced at his mother, grandma, Xiaoru and Youzhen standing under the stairs of Wanqi in the Boward Administration Building.

As expected, all four women held up their mobile phones and took pictures of him seriously.

Shivering, Han Yi, whose every move was recorded, kept his eyes straight and followed the crowd to sit on the side closest to the auditorium.

It's over, it's not a live target.

Han Yi, who doesn't particularly like taking pictures, quietly tilted his academic cap to the left, covering most of his face.

A few seconds later, the WeChat group of three sent a message.

"Yi Yi, Auntie asked me to tell you that if you don't put on your hat properly, she will come and help you put it on."

Han Yi straightened his graduation cap at the speed of light, keeping an eye on his nose, his nose and his heart.

As long as he can't see it, he hasn't been photographed.

"Area C, also from the northeast corner of the park, near the Dohini Library entrance, Mrs. Chen Zengxi's Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy!"

Oh, yes, I forgot there is such a department.

Han Yi glanced at the "TH Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy" banner entering from the Dohini Library, and nodded slightly.

He is not the only rich Chinese betting on the University of Southern California.

On September 2014, 9, in the name of his mother, Chen Qizong donated 19 million US dollars to the University of Southern California as a development fund for the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy. This is the first named donation in the history of the academic field of occupational therapy in the United States. It is also the largest single donation.In return, President Nikias directly changed the name of the department to express his gratitude and respect for the gift from the head of Hang Lung Group.

You know, before writing a check to USC, the Chen Qizong family also donated 3.5 million US dollars to the School of Public Health of Harvard University, directly winning the permanent naming rights of the school.

The Chen family donated 2000 million to change the name of a department.

Donate 1000 million by yourself, what can you name it?

The graduates sitting around Han Yi would never have imagined that this Asian boy rubbing his chin in deep thought was thinking about such absurd questions that ordinary people seem to think.

The first graduates of Yue Wen and Yang College will not be able to officially receive their degrees until 2018.Therefore, in today's Alumni Memorial Park, except for a few people on the rostrum, no one knows Han Yi, and no one knows the huge donation he has officially signed and confirmed.

"Zone Z, sitting in the very middle of the park, is made up of candidates from the Gould School of Law, the Department of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, and the Doctor of Dentistry and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees!"

"The one entering from the northwest corner of Childs Road on the right is..."

"Continuing to fill Block F are candidates from the Rawski School of Art and Design..."

"...and the Viterbi School of Engineering!"

Nearly 1 graduates who are about to change their status from "students" to "alumni" lined up in order to enter the venue. This process alone took nearly 10 minutes.

It wasn't until Han Yi found out that the graduates around him put down their selfie sticks, which were fashionable in 2016, or the enduring Trojan cheer gestures, because of sore arms, that the ceremony entered the next stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please give us a warm welcome to the phalanx of USC faculty and staff as we approach us from Bovard Auditorium!"

The first to bear the brunt were two crooked rows of student representatives holding various coats of arms and flags, slowly walking into the Alumni Memorial Park.

"Each heraldic banner represents one of the twenty academic units that award degrees to graduates today."

"Faculty and staff wear academic gowns and hoods in a variety of colors representing the academic institution at which they received their degrees."

“This year, the USC Retired Faculty Association, one of the oldest associations of its kind in North America, is celebrating its 67th anniversary.”

"Ladies and gentlemen, degree candidates, please welcome your faculty representatives!"

Nearly one-third of the faculty and staff who walked into the venue were wearing USC academic gowns, and the rest of the gowns of various colors could be figured out without too much guesswork.

As one of the top 25 prestigious schools in the U.S. News, if you want to get a teaching position at the University of Southern California, you basically have to be a doctor or postdoctoral graduate from an Ivy League school.

"Ladies and gentlemen, members of the faculty and staff are taking their seats from either side of the fountain in the middle of the park...Let us once again extend a warm welcome to the USC faculty and staff!"

"Ladies and gentlemen...the presidium of the celebration is entering the venue from the Bovard Auditorium!"

"One of the columns is led by the Chair of the Faculty, Dr. Paula Canon, carrying a silver university scepter."

"Another column, led by Dr. Donald Manahan, USC Registrar."

"The back row of the queue, including members of the University Council wearing cardinal red administrative robes, the senior USC administrative team, the deans of each school, honorary degree recipients, and representatives of the 2016 graduate speakers and graduate welcome speech representatives .”

"Representing the colleges are... Dean Amber Miller, USC Dana and David Dorncieff College of Arts and Sciences, established in 1880."

"Catherine Quinlin Dean, USC Library System, 1880..."

"Dean Erica Moore, Ruskie College of Art and Design, 1883..."

Hearing that the master of ceremonies began to introduce the deans of the various colleges on the rostrum, Han Yi stood up and looked towards the center of the park.

However, unlike other graduates who were excitedly waiting for the name of the dean of their college to be pronounced, what Han Yi wanted to see was Principal Max Nikias who was walking at the end of the line.

In the next two years, he still had a lot of dealings with the principal.

Before and after the school doctor scandal broke out, Nikias, who was in deep trouble, needed enough support, and what he could use to give back to this support must be Han Yi's growing influence and voice in his alma mater.

The real wealth of the country must have a famous academic institution that is loyal to him, isn't it?
Han Yi, who is completely different from all the rich men in history, is the real Chosen Son, who can understand this truth earlier than others, and has the opportunity to take action earlier than others.

how early?

Start to settle down long before graduation.

What Mr. Chen Qizong did at the age of 65 with the strength of his family, he will do before the age of 25.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please warmly welcome the No.11 president of the University of Southern California..."

"Max Nikias!"

　A lost his family members, and the four more updates for the leader may not be completed until the end of the month... Now we can guarantee that the [-]D daily
