Reporter Cui Panning
Hou Meng, Law w88 casino2010undergraduate student majoring in international economic law, has received an admission notice from Boston University.2014Year2Participate in the month12In the "Jessup" International Law Moot Court (English) Debate Competition, together with other contestants, we represented w88 casino and won the first prize of the national team with outstanding results of third place in the country. Individuals won the best debater award with second place and represented China in the international finals in Washington, D.C., USA, and achieved excellent results.
Wearing a pair of rimless glasses, Hou Meng looks gentle and has the rigor and solemnity of a legal person; but in life, he is still a big boy with a literary atmosphere. Growing up in Beijing, he liked to cycle around the alleys, read books, and enjoy history. Recently, he often kept a copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in his hand to read quietly.
“It was the most painful and happiest time in my college years,” Hou Meng commented on his experience participating in the “Jesup” International Law Moot Court Debate Competition. "Jessup" is currently the largest and oldest professional debate competition in the world and is known as the "Olympics of the legal community." In order to better show the style of the University of w88 and Economic Cooperation in the competition, Hou Meng and his teammates started from last year9I started preparing for the competition in March, and read a large number of laws and cases in the field of international law with my teammates. Every day after w88 casino was filled with difficult legal English; during the Spring Festival holiday, I went back to w88 casino early for practice on the tenth day of the lunar month. This kind of dedication and busyness eventually resulted in a good score of third place in the country, and went beyond the borders, showing the elegance of the students of the University of w88 and Economics on the international stage. Hou Meng encouraged juniors to actively participate in such competitions. Their English proficiency and legal document writing skills will improve by leaps and bounds under strong pressure. At the same time, the international platform will bring more opportunities, help you make more friends and see a broader world.
"I heard a saying before that you should have two good friends in college, one is the library and the other is the stadium. I think I have made these two friends." Hou Meng likes literature and once spent time in the library and read all Mo Yan's works. He talked about the dream buried in his heart: he hopes to become a writer in the future. The legal profession seems to be far different from the career of a writer. He said, "The law itself is cold, but people need to have their own thoughts." Hou Meng hopes to be like Lin Yutang and Lao She, using his life accumulation to win spiritual sublimation.
When talking about history, Hou Meng joked about himself: "Part of the reason why I like to read history is to show that I am different. When everyone was chasing "Little Times", I was watching Zhang Xueliang. This is also an externalization of the inner rebelliousness." This rebelliousness also manifests itself in life as being uneasy with the status quo, despite getting the enviable Boston University degreeoffer, he is still waiting for better results to appear, and is still working hard for a better future in his mind.
In addition to studying quietly, Hou Meng often appears in the stadium. He has been inseparable from football since middle w88 casino and fell in love with the green field. Recently, he is preparing for the marathon in Beijing. The five-kilometer long-distance running that is unattainable in the eyes of others is just part of his daily training. "You always have dreams, what if they come true?" Hou Meng cherishes every dream he has and believes that if he perseveres, one day his dreams will become reality.
During the graduation season, Hou Meng also had his own feelings. What he most wanted to say to his juniors was: "Everyone should have a psychological awareness of weaning, and quickly enter the next state of life from relying on family support to make achievements. The country needs some people who can do things, and they should regard this as their own responsibility."
