“未来领导者”项目毕业生代表费以明：跨越国界，在差异中筑共识丨北大光华2026毕业典礼

近日，北京大学光华管理学院2026年毕业典礼在北京大学邱德拔体育馆举行。“未来领导者”国际本科项目毕业生代表费以明（Felix Martin Felgen）分享了自己作为一名卢森堡学子在中国求学的切身感受。他表示，光华让他学会了在多元文化背景下建立信任与协作。

以下为他的发言全文：

大家好，我是北京大学光华管理学院“未来领导者”项目的学生费以明（Felix Martin Felgen）。今天，很荣幸作为项目毕业生代表在此发言。

首先，请允许我简单介绍自己。我来自卢森堡，一个大约有七十万人口的国家。今天站在这里，环顾四周，我觉得这个会场里的人数，可能比我们卢森堡大多数城市的人口还要多。所以，请大家见谅——我从小到大，确实从未见过这样的场面。

两年前初到北京时，我带来的不只是一本与同学们不同的护照，还有不同的生活习惯、文化背景，甚至对“辣度”也有着截然不同的标准——这些在家乡我从不觉得需要解释的事情，到了光华，却成了我每天必须面对的课题。我需要向来自中国各地、亚洲各国乃至世界各地的同学一一说明。

但正是这个过程，让我意识到：这恰恰是我们来这里求学的意义所在。

因为，我们即将步入的这个世界，正面对着一系列复杂而严峻的挑战——气候变化、人口老龄化、人工智能的冲击、地缘政治的撕裂。没有哪个问题能靠某个国家或某种单一价值观解决。然而，令人遗憾的是，当今世界许多地方的选择恰恰相反——向内收缩，退回到只与观点相同的人为伍的圈子里。

而光华所做的，恰恰相反。它把我们这些背景迥异的人汇聚在同一间教室、同一场讨论之中。对我而言，感受最深的，是足球场。两年来，我在光华足球队和本地及国际同学一起踢球——其中很多人，若不是在光华，我可能根本无缘结识。在球场上，当所有人朝着同一个目标奋力奔跑时，我真切体会到：语言或背景的差异，在此刻都不再重要。

这一点在诸多其他场合也同样成立。我们学会了彼此信任，学会了在争辩中寻求共识，更学会了共同创造任何个人力量都无法企及的成果。

说到这里，便不能不提中国——正是这片土地，让这一切成为可能。如今即将离开这里，我不敢说自己已成为“中国通”，但我深知自己带走了一样更为珍贵的东西，那就是看待世界的视角。

中国不是一个可以被简单定义的国家，而是一幅充满强烈对比的图景——雄心与传统并存，超现代化的都市与古老村落同在，令人惊叹的发展速度与深厚的历史延续感交织——这些看似矛盾的特质每时每刻都在这里同时上演。这让我领悟到一个将终生铭记的道理：复杂性不是一个需要解决的问题，而是一种需要去理解和欣赏的状态。如果我们想要应对未来那些真正的挑战，就必须首先接受这一点。

尽管我们每个人从这里出发，前路各不相同。我们之中，会有未来的研究者、企业家、管理者、政策制定者和领导者，但我们共享着一样核心的东西——我们由光华塑造，也由坐在身边的每一位塑造。我们学会了在差异中协作，以应对复杂局面；真正的领导力，不是靠全知全能，而是知道在关键时刻，如何召集对的人坐到一起。

而这，正是当今世界最需要的力量。

感谢光华！感谢大家！

以下为发言英文原文：

大家好, 我是北京大学光华管理学院“未来领导者”项目的毕业生费以明。

My name is Felix Felgen and I speak today as a student of the "Future Leaders" Program.

First, a bit about me: I'm from Luxembourg, a country of about 700,000 people. Looking out at this audience today, I think there may be more people in this room than in most Luxembourgish cities. So, bear with me — this is not a scale I grew up with.

When I arrived in Beijing two years ago, I carried more than just a different passport than my classmates. Different habits, different cultures — and very different opinions on how spicy food should be. Backgrounds and values I never had to explain before, because back home, everyone understood them.

And then, suddenly, I had to. To people from across China, across Asia, across the world.

That, it turns out, was the entire point.

Because look at the world we're graduating into. Climate. Ageing populations. AI. Fractured Geopolitics. Not one of these problems lives inside a single country or worldview.

And yet, much of the world is responding by doing the opposite — pulling inward, retreating into bubbles of people who already agree with us.

Guanghua did the reverse. It threw us together — into the same classrooms, the same discussions. For me, one of the places that became most real was on the football pitch. For two years, I played in the Guanghua team alongside locals and internationals, people I wouldn't otherwise have met. I learned that different languages or backgrounds — none of it matters when you're chasing the same goal.

And that very much holds true for many other situations. The importance of trusting each other, of learning how to argue and compromise — and build something none of us could reach alone.

That brings me to China — the context that made all of this possible.

Now, I am probably not leaving China as an expert, but I am leaving with something more important: perspective.

China is not one static story, but a country of incredible contrasts — ambition and tradition, hyper-modern cities and ancient villages, breathtaking speed and deep continuity — all at once, all the time. And that taught me something I'll carry far beyond this campus: complexity isn't a problem to be solved. It's a condition to be understood and appreciated. That is, if we want any shot at the real challenges ahead of us.

Still, our paths from here are not the same. We are future researchers, entrepreneurs, managers, policymakers, leaders.

But, we do share something essential — we were shaped by Guanghua, and the people sitting next to us. To handle complexity by collaborating across difference. To lead not by having all the answers, but by knowing how to bring the right people to the table when it matters most.

That is what today's world needs more of.

Thank you Guanghua. Thank you all.

谢谢光华！谢谢大家！
