各位政府官员、各位师长与行政主管、杨明华馆长、各位校董、各位嘉宾、女士们、先生们：

世界各地的图书馆，形态、模样、规模千差万别，却都共享一份恒久的价值——服务于求知，让每一个人都能按自己选择的方式，过上一种智识的生活。我们身处一个变革的时代。那些我们曾以为亘古不变的真理，往往需要思想的敏捷与反省的能力，才能继续葆有其意义。当我们对人生意义的探寻日益深切，汕头大学的图书馆，便不止是一处便利求学的枢纽；它更应是一眼理想的泉源。

我也想借此机会，感谢项目管理团队的每一位成员——是你们的奉献、辛劳与付出，让这座美好的中心如期、且在预算之内圆满落成。你们的成就本身，便是一种激励。

从这里，今时与来日的无数学子，将在这四壁之间，发现真理、理想，以及一条条路径——它们不止通向个人的成长，更通向个体与社会共同的崇高。

谢谢大家。

Government Officials, Faculty and Administrators, Chief Librarian Yang, Council Members, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Libraries all over the world might come in different forms, shapes and sizes, but they all share the enduring value of serving learning, an enabler for everyone to a life of the mind in the way they choose. We live in a time of change. Truths we once thought as immutable often require intellectual agility and reflective ability to continue their relevance. As our search for the meaning of life intensifies, Shantou University’s library is more than a hub which facilitates learning; it should be a fountain of ideals.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank each member of the project management team whose dedication, toil, and contribution successfully completed this wonderful center on schedule and within budget. Your achievement is in itself an inspiration.

From here, countless students now and in the future will discover within these walls the truth, ideals, and pathways leading not only to personal growth, but to greatness for the individual and for society.

Thank you.
