哈佛正面临“前所未有”的时刻。

哈佛大学本周四举行了2025年毕业典礼，而一位联邦地区法官在6英里外的波士顿法庭为学校争取另一次喘息机会。

毕业典礼开始时，哈佛大学校长艾伦·加伯现身，获得了毕业生们长达一分钟的起立鼓掌。

加伯欢迎“来自全美和世界各地的2025届学生……（世界各地）这正是理所当然的（just as it should be）”。

哈佛大学心理学教授描述这是“百感交集的一天”。

在川普政府宣布“大力撤销”中国学生签证的计划后，来自中国的2025届毕业生蒋雨融（Yurong “Luanna” Jiang）在毕业典礼上发表演讲，敦促毕业生们记住他们“共同的人性”，获得了全场起立鼓掌。

蒋同学即将从国际发展学院毕业，她在演讲中首先向其所在学院来自32个国家的77位同学表示祝贺。

“我所认识的国家，以前只是地图上五颜六色的图形，现在却变成了活生生的人，他们有欢笑、有梦想，也有毅力，在Cambridge度过了漫长的冬天，全球挑战突然变得切身相关。”

蒋同学说，哈佛大学国际发展学院的成立理念是“人类同兴同衰”。“如果我们仍然相信共同的未来，就不要忘记那些被贴上敌人标签的人，他们也是人，”她说。“最终，我们并非靠着证明彼此的错误而崛起。我们靠着拒绝放弃彼此而崛起。”

Harvard Commencement Speech 2025: Our Humanity

By 蒋雨融

Last summer, when I was doing my internship in Mongolia, I got a call from two classmates in Tanzania. They had a very urgent question: how to use their washing machine — because all the labels were in Chinese, and Google kept translating a big button as “Spinning Ghost Mode.”

There we were: an Indian and a Thai calling me, a Chinese in Mongolia, to decipher a washer in Tanzania. And we all study together here at Harvard.

That moment reminds me of something I used to believe when I was a kid: that the world was becoming a small village. I remember being told we would be the first generation to end hunger and poverty for humankind.

My program at Harvard is International Development. It was built on this exact beautiful vision that humanity rises and falls as one.

When I met my 77 classmates from 32 different countries, the countries I knew only as colorful shapes on a map turned into real people - with laughter, dreams, and the perseverance to survive the long winter in Cambridge. We danced through each other’s traditions, and carried the weight of each other’s worlds. Global challenges suddenly felt personal.

If there’s a woman anywhere in the world who can’t afford a period pad, it makes me poorer. If a girl who skips school out of fear of harassment, that threatens my dignity. If a little boy dies in a war that he didn’t start and never understood, part of me dies with him.

But today, that promise of a connected world is giving way to division, fear, and conflict. We’re starting to believe that those who think differently, vote differently, or pray differently—whether they’re across the ocean or sitting right next to us — are not just wrong. We mistakenly see them as evil.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

What I’ve gained most from Harvard isn’t just calculus and regression analysis. It’s to sit with discomfort. Listen deeply. And stay soft in hard times.

If we still believe in a shared future, let us not forget: those we label as enemies—they, too, are human. In seeing their humanity, we find our own. In the end, we don’t rise by proving each other wrong. We rise by refusing to let one another go.

So, Class of 2025, when the world feels stuck in Spinning Ghost Mode, just remember: As we leave this campus, we carry everyone we’ve met — across wealth and poverty, cities and villages, faith and doubt. They speak different languages, and dream different dreams, and yet—they’ve all become part of us. You may disagree with them, but hold onto them, as we are bound by something deeper than belief: our shared humanity. Congratulations, class of 2025！
