Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

I am Yosef Arefi a senior student of IBS from Afghanistan.

We have come together on this beautiful evening of Sep 25, 2021 to officially launch the commemoration of a significant milestone in the history of the International Business School.

It is my pleasure to be with you today, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the IBS. Over the past two decades, BFSU has firmly established itself as one of the finest progressive universities in the China. IBS has produced generations of bright scholars, including the many of you here. Nowadays, with increasing globalization and the new challenges it brings, internationalization of the student body is almost essential for any mature higher education system. BFSU’s IBS has demonstrated its strength in this area.

We all have heard the phrase that time flies, It is now that i believe it, my time is coming to and end soon and this is my last year in BFSU. And that was because i had a quality and joyful life here. It just feels like yesterday, that i entered the campus for the first time. Having an equipped gym, library, swimming pool and good canteen made life much more easier. And meeting people from different countries and areas with different cultures made the journey more interesting and sweeter.

Studying economics and trade major in Chinese was a big challenge and seemed impossible for me at first, but i was blessed with the best professors and classmates that always assisted and helped me along the way which made the path a lot easier. Downloading PPTS and taking pictures of books and then translating them into English was the story of my life for the first semester. But the environment of BFSU and IBS improved my Chinese in a short period. Soon I was able to understand more and learn more everyday. I realized one of the key and vital part of studying is to know the language, without mastering in language, studying would be very hard. So i focused on studying the Chinese language and use Chinese to communicate with all my friends. Things got easier and finally I had a sigh of relief.

During my three years here in addition to my major, I have learned many new skills like giving speeches, debates, formal interviews and even teaching. They all added to my skill set and help me improve myself. Being part of IBS not only i got familiar with business and economics to highlight an experience would be my Service trade class where we didn’t only study abstract concepts of business but we did in practice, I took part in a trade simulator and we experienced the whole process of buy and sales of good between two international companies, which was very fruitful. I also got to closely witness the Chinese cultures and festivals and participate in it. From making dumplings, to making pottery I experienced them all. I even was lucky enough to be part of BFSU volunteer team to travel to the beautiful city of Yunnan. Seeing the beautiful scenery and seeing the making of silverware was and experience of a life time.

A point that I should mention today is that, I know all of us had a very hard time during the COVID-19. A sudden transition to online classes and staying off campus was unexpected and hard. But the IBS faculty regularly checked up on me and never left me alone, their companionship made me feel like I’m in home. I should thank the faculty and the university to make a suitable studying environment even off campus for us and make things go so smoothly.

At the end I want to express my best wishes to IBS and BFSU I am very happy that I had the chance to be with all of you tonight.

Thank you so much.

尊敬的来宾、女士们、先生们,

大家好!我是国际商学院的一名大四学生Yosef Arefi,来自阿富汗。

今天是2021年9月25日,我们相聚于此,共同纪念国际商学院历史上这一重要里程碑。

我很荣幸今天能和大家一起,庆祝IBS成立二十周年。北外国商培养了一代又一代的优秀学者,包括在座的诸位。如今,面临全球化日益加深及其带来的新挑战,对于任何一个成熟的高等教育体系来说,学生群体的国际化至关重要。北外国商在国际化、多元化这一方面已展现其优势。

像在座的许多人一样,我在2018年9月作为一名大一新生来到国商时年轻、缺乏经验,尽管当时我觉得自己充满了智慧和魅力。BFSU和IBS很快成为支持我个人发展的坚强后盾,指引我在专业领域追求卓越、扬帆起航的指南针,让我后来能代表学院和学校参加各个活动,这些都是我在踏入北外校园时从未想过能拥有的机会。

我们都听过“时光飞逝”,现在我相信了。一眨眼,我已成为一名大四学生,这将是我在北外求学的最后一年。正是因为在北外国商的生活充实而愉快,让我意识不到时间过得如此之快。我第一天来到校园的场景,仿佛发生在昨日。设备齐全的健身房、安静的图书馆、干净的游泳池和美味的食堂,为我们的生活提供了便利。遇见来自不同国家和地区、具有不同文化背景的同学们,让这段“北外之旅”更加有趣而充满惊喜。

用中文学习经济与贸易专业是一个很大的挑战,起初对我来说似乎是一件不可能完成的事情。但幸运的是,我遇到了最好的教授和同学们,他们一直为我提供各种帮助,让我的求学之路变得平坦。第一个学期,我的学习方式主要是下载课件、给书拍照然后翻译成英文。但是北外和国商提供的语言环境,促使我在短时间内提高了中文水平。很快,我能用中文理解更多内容,每天的学习上限也在提高。我意识到在中国留学很关键的一点,是掌握并会运用语言,否则学习会非常困难。因此,我专注于学习中文,并用中文和所有朋友进行交流。之后,很多问题迎刃而解,我也终于松了一口气。

还有一点我今天应该提到,那就是折磨我们的新冠疫情。疫情的突然爆发,使得所有人居家隔离、所有课程转为线上。但是国商的老师们从来没有把我忘记,经常关心我,询问我的状况,他们的陪伴让我感受到家一般的温暖。我想要特别感谢老师们和学校,让我们居家期间也能正常上课,为我们的远程学习提供一切支持和保障。

最后,我想向北外和国商表达我最美好的祝愿,也很高兴今晚有机会和大家在一起共庆此刻。

感谢聆听!祝福国商20岁生日快乐!
