In recent years, with the support and help of the majority of alumni and the hard work of all teachers and students, the school has made outstanding contributions and achieved gratifying results in various undertakings such as talent introduction, discipline construction, teaching staff, social services and national strategic development. Patriotic struggle is the soul of Nankai, the pursuit of excellence is the tradition of Nankai, and innovation vitality is the gene of Nankai. It is hoped that all alumni will continue to care for and support the construction of their alma mater, integrate into the new journey of their alma mater's development, work together to spread the spirit of Nankai, and make new contributions to the development of the country and society.

Tianjin Nankai Middle School will continue to deepen the education of "public energy" literacy and continue to cultivate campus cultural genes. Facing the future, it is hoped that Tianjin Nankai Middle School will further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Beijing Alumni Association and alumni organizations from all over the world, jointly stimulate the vitality of the times of the Nankai spirit, and sincerely wish the alumni association a prosperous cause.

The development process of Nankai series of schools is a vivid embodiment of this ecosystem, and every Nankai person is a participant, builder and contributor to it. In recent years, the Nankai Beijing Alumni Association has continuously innovated mechanisms, gathered alumni consensus, deepened exchanges and cooperation with alma maters, and achieved fruitful results. Nankai is our spiritual root and common home, it is not only a thriving tree, but also a dense forest, but also an endless ecosystem. We originate from Nankai, grew up in Nankai, and should give back to Nankai. It is hoped that all Nankai people will work together to promote the sustainable and healthy development of Nankai and make greater contributions to the Chinese nation and world civilization in the future century-old journey.
Liu Yifang said in his speech that he was deeply grateful to the Nankai sages represented by the old principal Zhang Boling for establishing the Nankai series of schools, so that future generations can become members of the Nankai family; I am grateful to Mei Yiqi and other predecessors for pioneering alumni work, which has made the Beijing Alumni Association grow from dozens of people at the beginning to 60,000 people today; At the same time, I am grateful for the opportunities of the times, so that the alumni association, which has been stagnant in the Anti-Japanese War and restored under the advocacy of Mr. Cao Yu in the 80s, can be passed on from generation to generation and revitalized. He emphasized that as a Nankai person, we should always have a humble heart, always maintain a sense of awe, give back to our alma mater and alumni with a humble attitude, and contribute to the development of Nankai in a down-to-earth manner. Finally, he called on all alumni to uphold gratitude and humility, and continue to walk hand in hand and forge ahead for the future of their alma mater and alumni.
In his speech, Bai Chengming emphasized that the word "Nankai" is the most profound imprint and spiritual belonging in the hearts of all alumni, which has been integrated into the blood and has become the value coordinate of standing and serving the society. In the hot land of Beijing, it is the common cultural genes and spiritual pursuits that closely connect everyone. The majority of alumni work hard in their respective positions, contribute to the development of the capital with wisdom and sweat, and win wide respect for their alma mater, which is a vivid embodiment of the glorious continuation and spirit of Nankai. At present, Nankai University is moving towards the goal of building a world-class university, and the development of the alma mater is inseparable from the continuous support of alumni, who will always be the most valuable asset of the school. I hope that all alumni will continue to work together, carry forward the spirit of Nankai, achieve better results in their respective positions, and jointly contribute to the development of their alma mater and national construction.
Zhang Yuanlong gave a speech on the topic of "How to prevent historical tragedies from repeating themselves". He pointed out that as a school born out of national disaster, the southern beginning is closely linked to the destiny of the country and the nation.
