题记:2020年6月27日,北京大学国家发展研究院暨南南合作与发展学院2020届毕业典礼在北京大学朗润园举行,南南学院2017级博士毕业生,来自马拉维的Chigaru Farai Anthony Muga代表南南学院38位毕业生发表感言。

Today I am humbled to speak on behalf of my fellow colleagues, as we commemorate our graduation. We would like to thank the Chinese Government for supporting us in our academic journey, and in a very special way we would like to thank President Xi Jinping.

In the words of Albert Einstein, "theory is when we know everything but nothing works, and practice is when everything works but we know nothing", The exciting lectures, adventurous field trips and insightful seminars offered a unique balance of both practice and theory; providing a combined deductive and inductive approach to learning. 

In the line of Adam Smith, we set out from our countries to inquire about the nature and causes of the growth of the Chinese economy; to which extent, we have managed to understand both the macro and micro foundations to China’s economic growth -- we say thank you. 

Sensitive to our countries' differing initial preconditions to growth from China's, it is imperative for us to contextualize these lessons to our individual countries, as one size does not fit all, and should not fit all.

A special recognition ought to go to our Professors and the ISSCAD administration. We acknowledge your unwavering efforts for the support and love we experienced during our academic journey. You shall always be remembered forever. To our supervisors, who worked day in and out to ensure our theses are on track, we salute you.

Lastly, I would like to wish all great health and safety.

今天,在我们毕业之际,我很荣幸能够代表我的同学们发言。我要感谢中国政府在我们求学路上始终如一的支持,尤其要感谢习近平主席。
 
爱因斯坦曾说:“理论就是当你知道一切但是却无从着手,实践就是所有事情都正常运转,但却没人知道为什么。”在南南学院,那些令人兴奋的讲座、丰富多彩的实地考察和极具启发的研讨会结合了演绎和归纳的学习方法,为我们提供了实践和理论之间的独特平衡。

追寻着亚当斯密的思路,我们从本国出发,探寻中国经济增长的性质和原因。从某种程度上来说,我们也设法了解了中国经济增长背后的宏观和微观基础——对此,我们表示感谢。
 
考虑到我们国家与中国在先决条件上的不同,我们有必要将在这里学到的经验与我们国家的客观情况相结合。因为一种方案并不能适用于所有国家,也不应适合所有国家。
 
我们尤其要感谢南南学院的教授们和所有行政管理人员。在我们的求学过程中,您们对我们的支持、关爱及为之所做出的不懈努力,我们将永远铭记在心。为了确保我们的论文按计划进行,我们的教授和指导老师们日复一日地工作,我们向您们致敬。
 
最后,我祝愿大家身体健康、事事平安。
