Time has a way of slipping through our fingers, and the past four years have felt like a fleeting dream. There were moments when I doubted myself, questioning whether I had the strength to persevere. Yet, here I stand today, one of the most outstanding students, thanks to the unwavering support and guidance of my teachers. From the very first semester, I have consistently held the top position in my classroom, a testament to the dedication and inspiration instilled in me by each and every one of my educators.

I would be remiss not to mention my thesis supervisor teacher Zhang Siyuan, whose words of encouragement became my guiding light."Fahim, you can do it. Try your best," he would say, igniting a fire within me to strive for excellence.

But it wasn't just my thesis supervisor, every respected teacher played a pivotal role in shaping me, not only as a student but also as a good human being. Their guidance, care, and support have left an indelible mark on my life.

Though I may not have expressed it often enough, I want to take this opportunity to say from the depths of my heart: Thank you. Thank you for believing in me and for helping me become the person I am today.

Despite the challenges posed by three years of online learning, which prevented us from meeting in person, my appreciation for my classmates knows no bounds. They were the driving force behind my academic pursuits, pushing me to study harder and providing unwavering support. I am forever grateful for their belief in me and the strength they gave me throughout this journey.

As an international student, navigating life in China wasn't always easy, especially given my limited Chinese language skills. However, I was blessed with the presence of Chinese friends who became my guiding lights. Chris, Jiayi, and Yuxin - three names that will forever be etched in my heart. From helping me find my way around campus to assisting me in various situations, their kindness knew no bounds. We may have completed our graduations this year, but the bonds we forged will last a lifetime. To you, my dear friends, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.

I would be remiss not to acknowledge the tireless efforts of our current international students affairs management office teachers, Wang laoshi and Li laoshi. When I first start my journey in CAUC, Liu laoshi was there to welcome me with open arms, her friendliness and support easing my transition into this new world. During the online period, Wang laoshi became our anchor, providing us with the guidance and assistance we needed. Now, Wang laoshi and Li laoshi continue to be our pillars of strength, working diligently to ensure our well-being. In the absence of my parents, you have treated all the international students as your own, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and for making our journey at CAUC an unforgettable one.

Last but certainly not least, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Ayi. Since my arrival here last year, Ayi has been a constant source of kindness and support. Though I may not have expressed it often enough, I want to take this moment to thank her for her tireless efforts. Ayi, your hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I am truly grateful for everything you do.
