Listen to Tommy's narrative at the graduation ceremony

"Become the youngest person in the end of the Ming Great Wall"

"Starting from Jiayuguan, passing through the desert, entering the Loess Plateau, crossing the Yellow River, turning the mountains and ridges in the Taihang Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains, and running to the Great Wall of Hushan in Dandong. I want to be the youngest person in the Ming Great Wall. After graduating, I will go to the 'Long March Road'. "This is the" Great Wall Dream "of Tommy Links.

The Great Wall and Peking University took the dream of Tommy's two generations.

Tommy's father, William Lindsi, was the first foreigner to be the Great Wall. It took 28 days. After running 2470 kilometers, he wrote the book "The Great Wall" and organized various Great Wall protection volunteers. Pick up the trash and promote the "mountain and the mountain". He is also a scholar who devoted himself to the research and protection of the Great Wall.

In William's eyes, the Great Wall is towering, and it provides itself with a solid heritage and life background; and Peking University, as the highest school in China, has the rigorous and profound academic research, but also has a long history and warmth. William particularly hoped that his two sons could study at Peking University, and the two children did not live up to his father's ardent hope -Tommy and his brother successively entered Peking University, and he also took the mission of exploring and protecting the Great Wall from his father.

Tommy often uses my spare time to swim in the Great Wall, almost traveled to the Great Wall of Jiayuguan to the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan. He also filmed with his brother with a drone to complete a aerial documentary "Great Wall of the Great Wall" and aired in more than 40 countries including China and Britain. The immortal "Great Wall Love" is inherited, stretched, and developed on the two generations of people who love the Great Wall.

Appreciate the work of Tommy and his brother "Leap the Great Wall"

"Different seasons, different weather, different moods, and different experiences will affect the feeling of climbing the Great Wall. Climbing the Great Wall allows me to clear my brain and relax my body and mind."

The bricks and tiles of the Great Wall, one grass and wood, are as familiar and kind as old friends. In the eyes of Tommy, the Great Wall is a great manner, and it is a symbol of the unity of the Chinese nation. So when he saw someone destroying the Great Wall and losing garbage on the Great Wall, he would stand up as soon as he stopped.

"The Great Wall is a world cultural heritage, and we love it even more." Tommy said that he was willing to be a communicationman and protector of the Great Wall culture like his father.

The depth of this situation is Yanyuan

"More and more international students come to China, come to Peking University, and read China at Peking University. I also urgently think of walking around China to see it, and understand the real China more deeply. , For a long time, long -distance is the way. "

As a British living in China, multi -cultural education makes Tommy's perspective of the world diversified. He said that there is no "us" or "you" in his eyes. Everyone is "us". At the graduation ceremony, Tommy told the original intention and gain of his own arrogance in Peking University with a fluent Mandarin. He joked that he had lived in Beijing for so many years, "not native, but also none." When it comes to Shaanxi, he also used Shaanxi dialects, humorous.

The relationship between Tommy and Peking University began at the time of children. Tommy's brother graduated from the Department of History of Peking University. Peking University witnessed his brother's youth and growth. Tommy also wanted to leave his unique story and memories in Yanyuan like his brother.

Tommy always maintains a heart that is practical and positive, and is eager to contact and understand different aspects of knowledge. Looking at the world in three dimensions, this coincides with Tommy as an international student who is eager to "understand China and let the world understand China".

Tommy likes to listen to the class of Mr. Guo Guan Lei Shaohua. Teacher Lei follows good temptation. It can make the boring and hard knowledge in simple, vivid and interesting, so that students are like spring breeze. Because he likes history very much, he has also taken courses such as "History of Western Art" and "Rise of the Great Power", looking back at the past and remembering the times in history. Yoga class is also one of the "treasure classes" in Tommy's heart. It can not only improve its body's acuity, but also adjust the mentality and maintain a good mood. When emotional fluctuations, Tommy also uses the meditation learned in yoga classes to relax himself, which benefits well.

"Compatible and inclusive are the traits of Peking University and Peking University. Regardless of teachers and students, regional differences."

From Guoguan Class to the daily activities of the rowing club, from watching the top ten singers competitions to participating in the "May 4th" long -distance running, Tommy, who likes to make friends, has gained a cute companion at Peking University. He is good at discovering the flash point of friends and promoting his growth.

Tomple loves to run by the Lake in the evening. The cloth bird sings in the air, the breeze blows through the ears, and the sun is sprinkled from the leaves of the locust. This is Tommy's favorite Yanyuan style, and it is also his deep affection.

Exercise, naturally as breathing

“在外面长途拉练的时候，有时累得真是不想跑了，但是我有走出低谷的方法：不想跑了是吧？没事儿，那就走几步。等心率下来了，内心也平静了，闭On your eyes, imagine that you are running the Great Wall and encourage yourself to persist in the next beacon. "

In addition to studying at Peking University, Tommy's daily activities are related to exercise: 15-25 hours of exercise per week, exceeding 500 kilometers per month. In his heart, there is always a dream to "run" to the Great Wall.

During the training process, his perception of his own limit was expanded, and his daily persistence also brought him to constantly breakthrough. This feeling is projected into life, making him more motivated to do everything to make him better and better. For Tommy, the exercise is the best help to push him every day to start and set foot on a new journey.

Participating in the competition is the way he challenges himself and proves himself. Introduced the Spartan Warriors, which I had participated in Greece, Tommy was vibrant. The game took a full 60 hours, and the number of participants was small and difficult to complete. In the beginning, the instructor confiscated most of the food. If you want to survive, you need a strong will, a strong physique, and the ability to unite others: "This kind of competition makes you feel strong, and it is also a way to prove your training results. . I was 19 years old and was the youngest in the history of the game. "

He does not want to study deserted because of exercise. He uses the running time to listen to audiobooks; he does not want to let the occasional interference that occasionally appears, and he uses the meditation learned in yoga class to adjust his mood. In addition to exercise, he also pays attention to diet and sleep health. Whether in life, exercise, or study, he maintains strong self -discipline and rationality.

At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, he sang Greek "Olympic Songs" with his classmates when he dropped the Olympic flag; at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, he watched "Big The light of "snowflakes" went out of the circle, and finally left the fire in the middle.

Olympic flames are embraced by the snowflakes that symbolize the world. The Olympic spirit of the Olympic Games without borders, the nation of the country that is connected with, and the "faster, higher, stronger, and more united" Olympic pursuit left a deep mark in Tommy's heart Essence

"At that moment, I was deeply affected. From the for Olympic Olympic to Olympic Olympics, from the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics, China and China Sports have gone far away. At the same time, I also told myself that I am reading China and knowing the world. On the way, I still have a long way to go.

The road under his feet towards the Great Wall, and the light in the eyes turned to the starry sky. It is down -to -earth and for a long time. A student of Peking University who is thinking about the world and the future of the eyes is ready to go to the dream.
