Editor’s note:In Huiyuan, there are such a group of young role models: they are studious and enterprising, and have won national scholarships; they persevere, break through themselves, and make significant progress; they study diligently and strive for self-improvement, demonstrating the spirit of struggle. These outstanding students use hard work to interpret their youth and responsibility, and use their actions to practice the w88 casino motto of “Erudition, Integrity, Searching, and Practicing”. A special collection of the outstanding deeds of the top ten outstanding students (undergraduate students) in 2025 under "Youth Role Models" is now launched. Let us draw strength from the role models around us and jointly write the chapter of youth in the new era.
Song Yixuan, female, probationary member of the Communist Party of China, undergraduate student majoring in finance in the class of 2022 at China University of Finance and Economics. In his sophomore year, he ranked 1/137th in his majors, and in his junior year, he ranked 2/139th. He has won honors such as national scholarship, w88 casino-level outstanding student, comprehensive first-class scholarship, and w88 casino-level outstanding student cadre. He once served as a member of the ministerial group of the literary and art department of the w88 casino student union, deputy director of the media center of the college party committee, and senior class member. He won the second prize in the Beijing Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Competition and the Beijing Second Prize in the Undergraduate Statistical Modeling Competition. His paper was selected into the National Undergraduate Economics Undergraduate Annual Conference and won the first prize of the Hongru·Qihang Forum. He was admitted to Renmin University of China to study for a doctorate in finance.
“How can a Guanghua coupon issued during inflation in the border area stabilize the currency value and calm the people’s hearts?” Three years ago, when Song Yixuan encountered this financial story from the flames of the Anti-Japanese War while studying party history, she suddenly understood that finance has never been a cold numbers game, but is deeply rooted in the blood of the country’s destiny and the people. Since then, a clear desire has taken root in her heart - to be the inheritor of red finance in the new era.
Searching for roots: In the depths of theory and history, touching the temperature of faith
For Song Yixuan, understanding the connection between finance, the country, and the people is a more important first lesson than professional knowledge. In the Party's 20th National Congress Spirit Publicity Competition, she interpreted high-quality development from a youth perspective; she was selected for the w88 casino's Youth Horse Project and joined the National College Student Jinggangshan Spirit Volunteer Lecture Team. She connected the spirit of "relying on the masses for victory" with the pledge of "I will have no self and live up to the people" in the new era. After polishing her speeches and standing on the podium again and again, she realized more and more clearly that every financial pulse should be consistent with the rhythm of the country's progress and resonate with the people's yearning for a better life.
Quest: In the field of academics and research, define contemporary "serving the people"
At the University of International w88 and Economic Cooperation, "Educating the world and benefiting the people" is never an empty talk. In Song Yixuan’s view, the inheritance of red finance must be rooted in professional skills. She has won a national scholarship for two consecutive years, achieved good results in multiple subject competitions, and obtained a doctoral qualification from a top university with excellent results. This is her academic answer.
However, she did not stop at paper scores. In the digital economy research team of Peking University, she was deeply involved in the impact of 5G base station construction on the national economy, and examined how finance can empower scientific and technological innovation. She wrote the topics of "preventing risks" and "protecting people's livelihood" into the econometric framework, and her paper was selected for the National Undergraduate Economics Annual Conference. For her, academic research is not only a journey to break through the unknown, but also to find contemporary answers to the fundamental question "What is finance?"
Practice: Let ideals take root at the scene of service and dedication
“What you see on paper is ultimately shallow.” Song Yixuan firmly believes that true inheritance must take root and sprout in concrete service and dedication. During the rural revitalization practice in Shilou Town, Fangshan District, she and her team produced a plan and normative documents of more than 50,000 words, and won the second prize for the rural revitalization practice of teachers and students in the Capital University, truly experiencing the real feeling of knowledge empowering rural revitalization.
She serves as the director of the literary and art department of the w88 casino student union, and organizes large-scale cultural and artistic activities such as the top ten singers competition on campus and the clothing and fashion contest, covering more than 10,000 people. As the deputy director of the college's integrated media center, she leads the team to build the college's publicity matrix, recording the stories of teachers and students again and again, and also understanding more of the responsibilities and responsibilities of financial people in practice.
More than two hundred hours of volunteer service record her journey: in the classroom of rural teaching, she told the children about the progress and dreams of this land; at the China International w88 in Services Fair, she introduced China's rapid development to foreign businessmen, was rated as the top ten volunteers of the college, and was reported by many media such as Lightning News. She used the simplest way to make her original intention of "serving those in need" tangible in daily life."
Lead the direction with ideas, forge skills with academics, and interpret responsibility with practice. Her growth trajectory clearly proves that the fire of red finance, in the hands of a new generation of young people, is being transformed into conscious actions to forge personal ideals into the needs of the country and the country.
Inspiration for growth
I always believe that "flowing water does not compete to be first, but to keep flowing". Excellence never has a standard answer, but the diverse brilliance displayed in every upward climb. There is no need to wait for good cards in life, as long as you stick to your own game and move forward step by step. Those days of running with all your strength will eventually illuminate your own galaxy.(Written by: Song Yixuan Reviewed by: Li Feng)
