w88 casino News Network (Intern reporter Wang Mingwei Photography Le Haonan)Have you ever had the dream of becoming a war correspondent? Do you also fantasize about head-to-head confrontations with political celebrities? Are you also looking forward to showing yourself at Harvard w88 casino?11month519:00Ran Wei brought a dream-pursuing journey to the students of the University of w88 and Economics in the third-floor international conference hall of Ningyuan.

Ran Wei’s speech

Wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and a pair of glasses, Ran Wei gives off a serious but friendly feeling. As the winner of the "China Youth May Fourth Medal", he is keen to observe the current situation and development trends of the world from a Chinese perspective. From being a reporter for Xinhua News Agency in Baghdad to now being an assistant to the president of a well-known education group, Ran Wei has a lot of experience and has many dreams. "The first thing people talk about is the American dream, and the Chinese dream is often mentioned by us recently. Nowadays, each of us should have a dream."

Dreams are meant to be realized

Ran Wei talked about his three dreams with the theme of "The Power of Dreams". His first dream was to be a war correspondent. He said that although many people have the dream of being a war correspondent, few actually realize it. When he arrived in war-torn Iraq, he discovered that he had gained more than he had imagined. The battlefield, for Ran Wei, means harsh living conditions, unfamiliar living environment and threats to life. But when he endured the harsh environment, witnessed Saddam's trial in person, and experienced the process of running up and down just to publish the article in time, he realized the value of battlefield experience.

The real stage is in China

The days of working as a resident reporter in Washington brought Ran Wei an unusual experience. Whether he was asking questions to Hillary Clinton on behalf of the country at the "China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue" or having a heated debate with U.S. spokesperson Nuland on the Diaoyu Islands issue, Ran Wei felt the importance of English communication skills. What represents the strength of this ability is not the level of scores, but the proficiency in using English. At the same time, Ran Wei found that Americans respect strength. When he actively responded and asked insightful questions at the "China-US Economic and Strategic Dialogue", his opportunities to be invited to participate in interviews in the United States gradually increased. However, Ran Wei emphasized that the experience and achievements he gained in the United States were all aimed at exerting greater power after returning to China. "I am Chinese, and my real stage is in China!"

From Harvard to Success

Talking about his postgraduate experience at Harvard, he said that the most important thing at Harvard is character. Although they have achieved success, people who are selfish and do not know how to repay society will not be welcomed by Harvard. Harvard also focuses on ability and execution, dreams and passion, courage, insight and vision. Harvard hopes that students can persevere for their dreams and see opportunities for long-term development. At Harvard, Ran Wei met many successful people. Their careers were not smooth sailing, but they were always self-motivated to succeed, and that was why they became the last ones.
