Given the highest honor by the university．He Jiang，who was born in a small village in Hunan province，said，"People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future．However，I cannot agree with them．Education can change a person's life．I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in studyand make their dream come turn．"
Different from many other families in the village，his parents never though about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care．His farther was strict about their studies．He and his younger brother studies at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields．Unlike his strict farther，his mother took her sons'side when her husband scolded the boys．She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village．
Getting the chance to speak at commencement is no accident．During his first days in Harvard，it was quite difficult for him to follow the professor in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English．Instead of giving up．He Jiang spent all his free time on English．He also make friends with natives to improve his speaking English．One year later，he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class．With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck，He Jiang decided to apply（申请） for the chance to speak at the commencement．"Few Chinese students had applied before，but I wanted to have a try．I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be．"said He Jiang．After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round，He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement．
