What is Courage?
Many people think courage is fighting a monster or being a superhero. But I think courage is different.
Courage is trying
Facing Challenges
Maybe you are nont gootata maths. Maybe you are bad at sports. It is okay.
The act of trying
If you try, you are brave.
If you fail, and try again...you are a hero
Courage is Honesty
Sometimes we do something bad.
But saying 'I am sorry' is very hard.
Telling the truth takes big courage.
Courage is Standing Here
To be honest... I am very shy. My legs are shaking. I am scared.
But I am speaking. I am doing it. This is courage.
Be Brave Today
Don't Wait
Do not wait for monsters.
Everyday Bravery
Be brave in the classroom. Be brave with your friends.
Act Now
Be brave today. Thank you.
许多人认为勇气就是与怪物搏斗,或者成为超级英雄。但我认为,勇气并非如此。
勇气是尝试
面对挑战
也许你数学不好,也许你不擅长运动。没关系。
尝试这一行为本身——
只要你愿意尝试,你就是勇敢的。
如果你失败了,再试一次……你就是英雄。
勇气是坦诚
有时我们会做错事。
但说“对不起”真的很难。
说出真相,需要巨大的勇气。
勇气是站在这里
说实话……我非常害羞。我的腿在发抖。我很害怕。
但我仍在发言,我正在做这件事。这就是勇气。
今天,做个勇敢的人
不必等待
不要等怪物出现。
日常的勇敢
在教室里勇敢,在朋友面前勇敢。
现在就行动
今天就开始勇敢。谢谢。

How lucky are you – do you even know?
Dear teachers and fellow students,Good morning!Today is the second day of the 2026 National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao): 12.9 million senior high school students are sprinting toward the dream they've nurtured through twelve years of hard study. And here we are, sitting quietly in this assembly, starting a new week at ease. This Saturday, we will hold the graduation ceremony and coming‑of‑age ceremony for the Class of 2026. Today, I want to talk with you about a simple yet lifelong topic: How lucky are you – do you really know?
Too often, we focus on our own fatigue, stress, regrets, and unhappiness. We complain about heavy schoolwork and tedious exam preparation. We feel anxious about an unknown future and confused about choices. We envy others' smooth sailing and glamorous lives. But if we step outside our small bubble and look back from today – this special Gaokao moment – you will realize that the luck we enjoy already surpasses that of most of our peers.
Your first piece of luck: the freedom to choose your future with ease.Today, millions of students taking the Gaokao across the country are giving it their all, risking everything on one exam that will determine their fate, hoping for a turnaround and a leap forward in life. Their youth is defined by staying up late to solve problems, fighting with no backup, crossing a single‑plank bridge under immense pressure – even thousands of impulses to just give up.
But every one of you here at Yinghua is incredibly lucky. You are on an international education platform. You don't have to be trapped by a single exam track that defines your life, nor let one test score determine your entire worth. You have diverse paths to grow, a vast global stage, more time to reflect on yourself and explore your passions, the confidence to grow at your own pace, and the opportunity to enter top universities around the world and unlock countless possibilities for your life. Not everyone's youth has the room to make mistakes, the freedom to choose – and this rare good fortune belongs to each of us right now. But I ask you: do we cherish this freedom to choose our future with ease?
Your second piece of luck: being rooted in a safe and nurturing environment, gently supported as you grow.
We are born in a peaceful and stable time, growing up in an atmosphere of respect and tolerance. We have teachers who guide us attentively and accompany us all the way, answering our questions and showing us the direction. We have family members who give silently and unconditionally, sheltering us from the storms and having our backs. We have a campus with excellent facilities and a pure learning environment, where we can stay away from distractions and study in peace.
Looking around the world, countless peers are struggling for a stable desk, fighting for the chance to study, and toiling for an ordinary life. The stable desk, the pure youth, the worry‑free schooling they long for – these are the everyday realities we have day after day, yet often overlook. The most precious luck in the world is never earth‑shattering adventures, but year‑after‑year stability and unhurried growth. But do we truly value this stability?Your third piece of luck: being young and possessing the limitless power to reinvent yourself.
The greatest confidence of youth is that there's still time, it's okay to lose, and we can still give it our all. We may feel lost and slack off sometimes, we may have weaknesses and shortcomings, we may experience temporary standstills and confusion – but that is the most normal shape of youth. This has already been proven by Yinghua alumni who have graduated: You can be lost and lazy, but there must come a moment when you wake up. Compared to those already set in their ways and powerless to change, compared to peers swept along by life with no say of their own, our greatest luck is that we still hold the initiative for our own growth. We can dive deep into our studies, refine our abilities, broaden our horizons, enrich our inner selves, correct our flaws, break through our limits – little by little, carving our ordinary selves into the ideal image. All unfinished dreams and unaddressed regrets have the possibility of being realized in this fervent youth.
Dear students, these three pieces of luck are not meant to make us complacent or lazy. They are meant to teach us self‑reflection, appreciation, and responsibility.
True luck is never an unearned gift – it is that only through enough effort do we deserve the extraordinary opportunities we have. Millions of Gaokao students are giving their all for their dreams. With our better platform, more abundant resources, and broader paths ahead, we have even less reason to waste time or treat our youth carelessly.
The Gaokao exam hall is the battlefield for millions of young people; our everyday life is our own arena. Don't envy others' sprinting, don't be anxious about different paths – everyone's youth has its own rhythm. I hope you remember: diverse paths do not mean an easy life, and a broad stage demands solid strength.
Dear students, the greatest wisdom in life is to see your own luck. The highest form of self‑discipline is to live up to that luck.
May every student of Yinghua, at the best age, seize the best resources, put in the fullest effort, and be worthy of the gifts of our times and our passionate youth!Thank you!
你有多幸运,你知道吗?
尊敬的各位⽼师、亲爱的同学们:早上好!今天是2026 年的⾼考的第⼆天:1290万⾼三考⽣正为⼗⼆年寒窗的奔赴⼭海之梦⽽冲刺。⽽此时此刻我们静坐在这⾥集会,以从容的姿态开启新的⼀周;⽽就在这个周六,我们即将为2026届毕业⽣同学举⾏毕业典礼暨成⼈礼。今天我想和⼤家聊⼀个朴素、却值得我们深思⼀⽣的话题:你有多幸运,你真的知道吗?
很多时候,我们习惯聚焦⾃⼰的疲惫、压⼒与遗憾,还有⾃⼰的不快乐。会抱怨课业繁重、备考枯燥,会焦虑未来的未知、选择的迷茫,会羡慕别⼈的顺遂与光鲜。但跳出⾃我的⽅⼨之地,站在今天这个特殊的⾼考节点回望,你会发现,我们拥有的幸运,早已超过了⼤多数同龄⼈。
你的第⼀份幸运,是拥有从容选择未来的权利。
今天奔赴全国⾼考考场的千万学⼦,他们拼尽全⼒、孤注⼀掷,⽤⼀场定乾坤的考试,争取⼈⽣的⼀次翻盘与跃升。他们的⻘春,是刷题到深夜的坚持,是别⽆退路的拼搏,是千军万⻢过独⽊桥的承压前⾏,甚⾄万千次想要⼀跃⽽下的冲动。
⽽在座的每⼀位英华学⼦,你们何其幸运。⾝处国际化教育平台,你们不必被单⼀的考试赛道束缚⼈⽣,不必⽤⼀次分数定义全部价值。你们拥有多元的成⻓路径、⼴阔的世界舞台,有更多时间沉淀⾃我、探索热爱,有底⽓按照⾃⼰的节奏成⻓,有机会奔赴世界各地的名校,解锁⽆数种⼈⽣可能。不是所有⼈的⻘春,都有试错的底⽓、选择的⾃由,⽽这份稀缺的幸运,此刻正属于我们每⼀个⼈,但我想问,我们珍惜这份从容选择未来的权利吗?
你的第⼆份幸运,是⾝处安稳沃⼟、被温柔托举成⻓。我们⽣⻓在和平安稳的时代,成⻓在尊重与宽容的氛围。有悉⼼教导、全程陪伴的⽼师,为我们答疑解惑、指引⽅向;有默默付出、⽆条件包容的家⼈,为我们遮⻛挡⾬、兜底前⾏;有设备完善、氛围纯粹的校园,让我们远离喧嚣、安⼼求学。
放眼世界,仍有⽆数同龄⼈,为安稳的书桌奔波,为读书的机会拼搏,为平凡的⽣活奔波劳碌。他们渴望的安稳书桌、纯粹⻘春、⽆忧求学,正是我们⽇复⼀⽇拥有、却时常忽略的⽇常。世间最珍贵的幸运,从不是惊天动地的奇遇,⽽是岁岁年年的安稳、不慌不忙的成⻓,但我们珍惜这份安稳吗?
你的第三份幸运,是正值年少、拥有⽆限重塑⾃我的⼒量。
⻘春最⼤的底⽓,就是来得及、输得起、拼得上。我们或许会有迷茫懈怠,会有短板不⾜,会有暂时的停滞与困惑,但这都是⻘春最正常的模样,这早已被业已毕业的英华学⻓学姐证明:⼈⽣可以迷茫懈怠,但⼀定要有清醒过来的时间节点。⽐起早已定型、⽆⼒改变的过往,⽐起被⽣活裹挟、⾝不由⼰的同龄⼈,我们最⼤的幸运,就是依然⼿握成⻓的主动权。我们可以深耕学业、打磨能⼒,可以拓宽眼界、丰盈内⼼,可以修正缺点、突破局限,⼀点点把普通的⾃⼰,雕琢成理想的模样。所有未完成的梦想、未弥补的遗憾,在滚烫的⻘春⾥,都有实现的可能。
同学们,这三份幸运,从不是让我们安于现状、躺平懈怠,⽽是让我们学会⾃省、懂得珍惜、学会担当。
真正的幸运,从来不是不劳⽽获的馈赠,⽽是⾜够努⼒,才配得上得天独厚的际遇。全国千万考⽣在为梦想全⼒以赴,我们拥有更好的平台、更多的资源、更⼴的前路,更没有理由虚度光阴、敷衍⻘春。
⾼考的考场,是千万少年的战场;⽽我们的⽇常,就是⾃⼰的赛场。不必羡慕他⼈的冲刺,不必焦虑不同的赛道,每个⼈的⻘春都有专属的节奏。希望⼤家记住:多元的路径不代表轻松的⼈⽣,⼴阔的舞台更需要过硬的实⼒。
同学们,⼈⽣最⼤的智慧,是看清⾃⼰的幸运;⼈⽣最⾼级的⾃律,是不负⾃⼰的幸运。愿我们每⼀位英华学⼦,在最好的年纪,把握最优的资源,付出最⾜的努⼒,不负时代馈赠,不负滚烫⻘春!谢谢⼤家!
