【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering

.
校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學，大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯，來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發，來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。

我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢？我小時候非常喜歡看武打片，然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影，主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫，所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文，到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人，她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師，她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課，我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時，我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時，我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學，那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校：臺灣大學之後，我感到雀躍不已，因為我既可以繼續學習中文，也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中，往電腦科學的方向精進自我。

不過老實說，當我回顧大一的時期，我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課，但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同，我其實很害羞，也很害怕舉手提問，我甚至不太敢參與社交，所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家，也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。

但更不幸的是，我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶，做了兩次手術，需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷，不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好，我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD，另外，美國高中的數學太簡單了，來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶，找不到自己的人生方向。後來，我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助，然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說，"Never give up"，雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題，不過，在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後，我下定決心，發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力，認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點，我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱，提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈，也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友，一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團，致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI，可以掃描我們的QR CODE。

最近，由於疫情的緣故，我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係，因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大，以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮，但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後，我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞： "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難，就有能力改變自己，甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的，"心誠則靈，只要你相信，點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

==============================

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.

What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.

But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.

For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

【歌曲介绍 】
碰碰2020 第一首單曲《你有什么用？》曲风为中文流行抒情歌曲（Mandopop）。继《不觉丢脸吗》 在网上火红，#碰碰车写歌企划，已进入了第三首企划！碰碰原在2019年，开始了和粉丝们（碰碰车）一起创作的写歌企划。这个写歌计划只用粉丝们的留言为作词，碰碰自己谱曲后，制作成单曲发表在网络上。第一首《不觉得丢脸吗》受到了多家台湾媒体报道，现今更在YouTube频道上获得了116万的点击量。

碰碰深受R&B和流行乐的影响，在这首单曲发挥了平时少见的爵士唱腔，编曲也加入了各种R&B元素。上千个粉丝们的评论当中选出，《你有什么用？》主题围绕在 “放弃”的主题，歌词表达了各种沮丧或心碎人的心声。

“你有什么用？站在黑暗的角落，come on, 没有人和你感同身受。” 副歌一响起，也许歌词会让人心酸。配上疗愈地伴奏，碰碰希望作品可以给予粉丝们疗愈的效果。 借着多人的负面情绪，凌乱的句子通过了音乐的洗礼，却变成了一支有意义的作品。作品想大声地告诉正在面对困难的人们，他们不是一个人。碰碰相信 “雨后有彩虹”。碰碰希望这首《你有什么用？》就像一道光，照亮别人黑暗的世界。

【Song Introduction歌曲介紹】

“你有什么用？” (Useless) is PongPong’s third songwriting project with their fans after “不觉丢脸吗 (Aren’t you embarrassed)” , a collaborative project with fans, which went viral on the Internet. Reported by various Taiwanese media, their previous project has gained 1,160,000 views on their YouTube channel. After the success, PongPong is back with their latest single entitled “你有什么用？” (Useless) , a Mandopop ballad hit.

The track showcases PongPong’s influence of R&B elements like R&B vocals, jazz piano, backing vocals and R&B chords. With the first project themed with hate comments, “你有什么用？” (Useless) surrounds the theme of “giving up”. The lyrics were made solely from fans' comments, which gave a voice for those who felt depressed or heartbroken in life.

The chorus features fans’ lyrics like, “You’re useless.” “Hiding in a dark corner.” “No one would understand your feelings.” it could be overwhelming to listen. However, PongPong believes this piece would be a medium to heal the broken-hearteds by showing them that they are not alone. The song ends with “There’s always a rainbow after the rain” . The sibling duo wanted this track to be a beacon of hope to their fans who are facing hardships and battling everyday.

Lisa 的創作心靈：
＂沒關係＂是Lisa 2016年五月份寫的原創歌曲。lisa 當時原本是為了愛情和新生命來臨而放棄了她最喜歡的音樂世界。也因為這種改變而令Lisa 那段時間意志非常消沈。
碰巧加拿大多倫多中文電台舉辦了＂第九屆中文歌曲創作大賽＂Lisa就藉著這個機會寫了＂沒關係＂參賽，因而重投音樂的懷抱.
這是她再次回到音樂舞台寫的第一首原創歌曲，描述關於一個為音樂而生的女生，經過不同的愛情歷練，走進愛情的虛假世界而迷失，連唯一支援自己動力＂音樂＂也放下不管。 可惜無論她多麼的努力都只是在渴望得到真愛的邊緣遊走，現實都給她重重的打擊， 今天這女生從謊言中醒覺，痛苦中成長蛻變，終於學懂了放下，再次回到她最愛的音樂世界，站上舞臺再次發亮。 她發覺原來只要走進音樂的世界，所有的委屈和痛苦都只是一個經歷，一切都不重要，因此這首歌叫《沒關係》。
希望觀眾會感到音樂的真實和生命，無論受多大傷害， 只要有音樂， 一切的苦難都會是《沒關係》。
這首歌有在「多倫多中文電台」有播放過，「A1 Chinese Radio Toronto Canada」，與商業電台 嘅《馬路的事 我哋的事》， 還有台灣電台「獨立音樂講堂 -第二十八集」（DJ罐頭）。
這是我的真實寫照，希望大家能在輕鬆中的音樂中感受到我的經歷。

"It's Okay" is an original song written by Lisa Hui in May 2016. Lisa had given up her beloved musical world for her love and new born son. The change in circumstance left Lisa very depressed  at the time. This song was written for the "9th Chinese Song Writing Competition", sponsored by the Canadian Chinese radio station. 

Lisa took the opportunity to write and record "It's Okay" while rejoicing in her return to music.

"It's Okay" describes a girl who is reborn to create music... capturing Lisa's return to writing original songs. The story of a woman who's experiences through a false world of love left her without  her creativity. Leaving her alone in a place where no matter how hard she tries the reality of lost love leaves her on the edge. The reality of life has hit her hard.

Today, this girl wakes up from the lies, grows and transforms the pain into strength. She learns to let go and return to her beloved musical world again. Standing on the stage and shining again is where she wants to be. She has realized that as long as she walks in the world of music the pain and hurt are no longer important... "It's Okay"

Lisa hopes that her audience and listeners feel the truth and the life in her music. No matter how much damage or trauma we have experienced as long as there is music "It's Okay"

This song has been played on stations such as ; "Toronto Chinese Radio" , "A1 Chinese Radio Toronto" ,”Industrial Radio station "The Road and us", "Taiwan Radio's Independent Music Lecture ep.28"and shown live on Fairchild Television

【歌詞Lyrics】
《你有什么用？》
作词：碰碰車
作曲：碰碰
编曲：碰弟Gaston

尽力了 不能了 太难了
受够了 不行了 白费了
（我努力了）
没希望了 放弃算了 做错了什么？
好累了 不想再继续了 我别无选择

放弃算了 白费力气 不能成功的
也许这个世界 没什么好留恋的
（我努力了）
不知道 自己做什么才是对的
我真的 很累了

你 有什么用?
站在黑暗角落
Come On 没人和你感同身受

有什么用?
心烦 心乱 心痛
活在这世界 有什么用?
有什么用?
没人看到我
没人看到我
不懂坚持什么
我不红

两极的 信念在打架 挣扎
我真的 呆不下 我怎么那么差
不知道啦
想怎样就怎样啦
输就输吧 我想喝奶茶

停下来 想一想 明天还 是一样
石头怎样都不会发光
像没灵 魂一样 只想躺 在床上
陪月亮到天亮

放弃算了 白费力气 不能成功的
也许这个世界 没什么好留恋的
（我努力了）
不知道 自己做什么才是对的
我真的 很累了

你 有什么用 (有什么用)
站在黑暗的角落
Come On 没有人和你感同身受

有什么用 (有什么用)
心烦 心乱 心痛
活在这世界 有什么用 (有什么用)
有什么用
没人看到我 (有什么用)
没人看到我
不懂坚持什么
我不红

努力那麼久
找堅持理由
看着天空
见星星闪烁

家人愛我
同學捧我
Never try never know
雨後有彩虹
雨後有彩虹
