Gold Medal
Introduction of the Work:
The work, titled “Memoirs of an Egret”, tells the story about ecological protection of Chaohu Lake in Anhui Province of China from the first perspective of an egret. It is a legend of the coexistence of technology and nature, but it is more than that. The microcosm of a digital China and the fragile yet profound bond between humans and nature are shown. We can’t help but ask ourselves: What is the meaning of numbers? Is it cold data, or the love and hope hidden within? Is it the end of technology, or the reconciliation between humans and nature? Chaohu Lake has answered its fate, but what about us? When I slowly walked towards Chaohu Lake, I kept asking myself: Have you come? What generation of guardians are you?
Student Representative’s Speech:
I have always found it meaningful to share stories about my hometown with everyone. Why can truth and beauty always touch people’s hearts? They are moving because of authenticity and sincerity. Remember what you love, and you will have something to pursue. No matter how far you go, you will know where you come from, and you will not be confused.
Silver Medal

Introduction of the Work:
“Hope for Tomorrow” is an inspiring short video reflecting the digital transformation of education in China. The story begins with Su Mingtian, a rural girl from Anhui Province of China, who struggled to pursue her education at the early age. Through the Project Hope education charity and her efforts, she gradually became an outstanding figure in the information industry, and finally returned to her hometown for the development of digital campuses with her strength. This short video shows the great leap of Chinese education, and a new world that digitalization opens up for students.
Student Representative’s Speech:
The story of Su Mingjuan has always been in my mind and moved innumerable people across China. Her story is a personal history of struggle and a microcosm of the progress of Chinese education.
The School of Economics has always supported and encouraged students to actively participate in high-level competitions. It will integrate discipline competitions into the whole process of talent training, enabling students to learn through practice and grow through communication.
