Tunghai University-News--“Keep On Learning to be Yourself! “ - from Founder of Giant Bicycles King Liu to Tunghai 2017 Graduates -
President Mao-Jiun Wang congratulated the graduating students as they became well-prepared for the next phase of their lives through the comprehensive education and training at Tunghai. President Wang further reminded the graduates that life is a journey running no short of difficulties, frustrations, and failures. It would always be important to stand firm with your faith; stay focused on your goals, check the compass in your heart and make sure you are standing at the right location on the map. On the other hand, he advised the students to take a failure as an opportunity for growth and to turn a stumbling stone into a pedestal that lifts you to another height. President Wang also took Mr. Li-An Huang, a graduate from the Institute of Fine Arts this year, as an example. Huang is physically deprived from birth and later diagnosed with cancer. However, he stood against the challenges and fought for his own life. President Wang encouraged the graduating students to soar like an eagle.
The special guest speaker Mr. King Liu
Towards the end of his remarks, President Wang quoted George Bernard Shaw’s words“… the true joy in life [is] … being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one” to encourage the 2017 graduates to devote themselves to the mission of life that will be meaningful and valuable to them. With a humble and grateful heart, proactive attitude, and exploitation of personal talent and potentials, you will be able to approach your goal and to make contributions to the society.
Pastor Chi-Hong Tseng, Chairman of the Tunghai Board of Trustees, quoted from the Bible Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Chairman Tseng encouraged the young graduates to take the chances given by God, enjoy the beauty created by God, and elevate the meaning and value of our lives.
The special guest speaker Mr. King Liu, the founder of world-renowned Giant Bicycles, told the audience that the society itself is a super university in which one will never finish studying. It was not until the age of 38 when he found his passion in the bicycle business and started releasing unlimited enthusiasm and innovation into the brand Giant. Besides making Giant a global brand, Mr. Liu considered his major participation in the creation of Taiwan's YouBike system and bringing it to become one of the best performing public service systems in the world the most meaningful occurrence in his life.

Mr. Liu then said that he did not start his business easy. It was through persistence and the understanding of market demands and future trends that made Giant a successful business. Mr. Liu used the Chinese saying “The duck knows it first when the river water becomes warm in early spring” to illustrate his point that only people who engage themselves seriously with their work can feel the pulse of the business and create real impacts.
Liu went on to share his life story saying that he was not a cyclist before founding Giant. However, at age 73, he rode around Taiwan on a bicycle for the first time, at age 80 he made an island-round cycling for the second time, and he will do it again in four years to fulfill his ambition of cycling throughout his life. This has been how he learned to be himself over the years of life experiences. Mr. Liu encouraged the Tunghai young graduates to continue learning to be themselves.
The Golden Eagle Award recipient Li-An Huang thanked the teachers at Tunghai Institute of Fine Arts for opening up his mind to the world, encouraging him to express himself with powerful paintings, and to restore his confidence and hope after the cancer trauma. Huang was the founding chairman of the Disabled Artists Association of Taichung City and is now a tutor for the disabled painting classes at the Social Affairs Bureau. He has been devoting himself in the art education of the disabled.
The graduation ceremony was full of heart-felt warmth and reluctances for departure. To all the graduates with the best wishes for a brand-new chapter of life!
