院长致辞全文
Dear distinguished guests, colleagues, and students:
Good evening! Welcome to the 2019 Harmonia College High Table Dinner! On behalf of all the Harmonians, I would first like to thank our special guests for being here tonight. I also thank many other colleagues and friends, our college affiliated faculty members, and our wardens and residential tutors for joining us in celebrating this great tradition of our college.
Thanks to the generous donation of Mr. Yang Xiangbo and his family, Harmonia College was established on March 29, 2018 as the youngest college at CUHK Shenzhen. We greeted the very first cohort of 700 students last August. This year, we are hosting another 573 new residents, bringing the total number of residents to more than 1,200.
Time flies. It’s been a full year since Harmonia’s first High Table Dinner. This past year has witnessed the fast growth of our college into a fully functioning community. Not only has our student population nearly doubled, the facilities of the college are also nearly complete. As of today, functional rooms for study, recreation, sports, and artistic purposes have all been put into use and are open for students’ booking. The construction of the noise barrier along the North Channel high way has also been completed, which effectively put an end to the excessive noise that bothered our residents for too long. We thank the city government and our university administration for their great support and effort to ensure a comfortable residential environment for Harmonians. The past year also witnessed great successes and achievements from our students. Harmonia’s first cohort of undergraduate students were all freshmen, who for the first time left home to start their adult life. I congratulate each of them for making the successful transition from a high schooler to a college student. Many of our students not only achieved excellence in academics, but were also well recognized in various competitions both on and off campus. Most noteworthily, Harmonians won the “Best Performance Award” for the second year in a row at the university mid-autumn festival celebration.
Congratulations to all our students and I cannot be more proud of you! We thank the hard-work and collaboration from everyone including our students, office staff, wardens and residential tutors for contributing to all the accomplishments in the past year.
As the founding college master, please allow me to take this opportunity to share my thoughts about our young college’s mission and the culture that we are going to build. Residential colleges are an essential part of our collegiate university system. Not only do they provide accommodations for our students, they also offer unique educational opportunities via informal programs and extracurricular activities that help our students grow well beyond their experiences in the classroom. The long and storied history of the college system around the world, dating back to centuries ago, has proven itself to be a very valuable addition to the university, one that complements the primary mission of an academic institution in a fundamental way. Harmonia College is honored to inherit such a great tradition and will try to accomplish such a great mission. In the past year, thanks to the efforts of our college office, wardens, and tutors, numerous activities, celebrations, workshops, lectures, and office hours have been organized. Among all these events, I was particularly involved in Tea Time with the College Master and English Corner, where I had a chance to meet and chat with many of our students regarding various topics including life as college freshmen, major choice and career path, time management, academic pressure, balance between academics and extracurricular activities, and many more. I found all these discussions helpful and enlightening, and I will certainly keep these and similar conversations going with many more of you in the future. In addition to Tea Time and English Corner, all other college events and activities are also thoughtfully designed and organized, which are meant to help our students in their whole-person development intellectually, physically, and mentally.
Moving forward, we will continue to build a collegiate community with a spirit of aspiration, perseverance, and excellence. We will work closely with the university, our donor, our friends and colleagues to make Harmonia College truly a “home” for thousands of young students for many years to come.
Finally, I would like to say a few words about our keynote speaker today, Professor Lawrence Lau, who is going to speak on “The China-US Trade War,” a topic that is most timely and important in our current global economy, especially the China-US bilateral relationship. Professor Lau served as the President of CUHK from 2004 to 2010 and is deeply loved and respected by our CUHK community. In February 2010, with his great foresight, vision, and leadership, Professor Lau signed the cooperation memorandum with the Shenzhen municipal government, which laid the foundation for the establishment of CUHK Shenzhen. He provided indispensable guidance and support at the early stage of development for this new university. Professor Lau is truly a founding father of CUHK Shenzhen. Other than his connection with our university, he is also someone very special to our college. It was Professor Lau, along with President Xu Yangsheng, who extended the initial invitation for Mr. Yang Xiangbo to make the grand donation, leading to the establishment of our college. In fact, Professor Lau was also the one who picked Harmonia as the official English name for our college. Personally I found Harmonia much easier to pronounce than the previous forerunner, Oceanus, and simply for that, I feel grateful to Professor Lau for his decisive pick. Finally, Professor Lau is also connected to myself personally. I was very fortunate to serve as Professor Lau’s Research Assistant for four years while I was a Ph.D. student at Stanford University, during which period I had a chance to work with him closely and learn a great deal from him in person. To me, Prof. Lau is a genuine scholar, a knowledgeable professor, as well as a great mentor and advisor. The topic of his keynote speech today also reminded me of a historical trip made by our former premier Zhu Rongji 20 years ago. In April 1999, Mr. Zhu Rongji visited the US in an attempt to resolve some major China-US trade disputes, aiming to clean up the last barrier for China to gain the membership of WTO. During that difficult visit, premier Zhu delivered a speech at MIT. While citing Prof. Lau’s research on the China-US trade deficit, premier Zhu Rongji referred to Prof. Lau as someone he personally respected and admired. It must be rare for premier Zhu to give such a high regard to a scholar, which says a lot about the academic reputation and policy impact of Prof. Lau’s work. Tonight, we will have the privilege to listen to an insightful talk from such a great scholar.
Thanks again Professor Lau for being here tonight. We all look forward to your talk. With that, let me stop here and give the floor to Professor Lau. I wish you all a great evening. Thank you!

主旨演讲
高桌晚宴主旨演讲嘉宾 刘遵义教授
主旨演讲嘉宾刘遵义教授用科学详细的数据和经济学理论知识,为大家深度解读中美贸易战的相关内容。刘教授深耕该领域的研究与分析,曾撰写《天塌不下来——中美贸易战及未来经济关系》一书,详细分析中美贸易战的现状及双方未来经济关系。
距今,中美贸易战已经持续了近两年的时间。这场经济战的起因是美国总统特朗普认为中美双边进出口差额过大,需要减少与中国的贸易逆差。但事实上,刘教授预估的中美之间的贸易差额的并没有美国声称的那样大。
虽然国内股市出现了明显的下滑趋势,但总体上仍在可以接受的范围。同时,中国季度实际国内生产总值增长率并没有因贸易战而出现大幅度的负增长,从长期来看仍呈现增长态势。
从中美贸易的结构来看,中国商品和服务及仅商品出口占中国国内生产总值的百分比接近20%,而其中超过1/5输出美国。而美国商品和服务及仅商品出口占本国国内生产总值的百分比接近12%和8%,而其中约有1/12输出中国。
投资层面,中国对内及对外直接投资总额都已经超过1,400亿美元。而在增长幅度上。中国国民储蓄、国内总投资和国内生产总值的百分比几乎是同步增长的。随着中国GDP的增长,投资额也会进一步增长。
在专利授予数和研发资本存量上,中国后来居上,近几年增长迅速,越来越被世界各国包括美国所倚重。最后,中国外汇储备和美国国债持有量及其增长率虽然有下滑趋势,但仍保持在三万亿的大关,对中美经济影响巨大。
可见,中美是对方极其重要的贸易盟友,在经济交互上唇齿相依。贸易战虽然影响了原先繁荣的双方贸易,但总体而言中美贸易依旧坚挺,且在未来很有可能继续维持良好的贸易往来,互惠互利。对美国而言。牛肉、鸡肉、猪肉和大豆等农产品以及原油和液化天然气等能源商品的生产和出口的长期协调增长,既可以促进美国国内生产总值的增长,也可以增加就业机会,并减少双边及美国总体贸易逆差。对中国而言,美国是最大的投资国,对中国经济发展影响巨大。本年第二季度,中国跨境贸易的人民币结算总量和百分比呈现大幅度上升,预示着中美贸易关系的缓和。
刘教授指出,“目前中国是几乎所有东亚国家和地区最大的贸易伙伴国,而且也正在成为这些国家和地区最大的外国直接投资者。从长远来看,如果中美能够保持良好的合作关系,包括世界贸易组织改革,无核化,防止气候变化以及非洲经济发展等许多全球性问题都将得到解决。如果两国保持良性竞争关系,在诸多领域取得创新性成果就有很大希望,例如在竞争中研发最快的超级计算机。中美两国也可以在寻找癌症和阿尔茨海默氏病等疾病的治疗方法方面展开合作与竞争,这样世界上的每个国家都将从中受益。中美在经济合作方面形成互利双赢局面仍有很大的可能,例如在汇率协调方面,整个世界都将因此受益。”
刘教授最后总结道,“天塌不下来”,中美贸易战看似是无解的棘手难题,但最终很有可能以双方的重新合作而告终。

杨祥波先生致辞
岁宝集团董事局主席 杨祥波先生
一直以来,杨祥波先生对祥波学子关心备至。晚宴中,杨先生对学生们提出了“三个问题”。三个问题包括:单纯问题、两难问题和棘手问题。
单纯问题指有明确目标和解决方案的问题,像我们平时的学业就属于单纯问题,只要努力学习便可以提高自己的成绩而解决问题。而两难问题则没有绝对的对错和固定的解答。学生们步入社会后,常常会面对这样的两难困境,“两权相害取其轻”,只能选择损害更小的一方。而棘手问题就像中美关系、全球变暖等世界级难题,需要高层次的智慧去解答。
杨先生希望祥波学子在未来的生活中努力学习,成为一位看待问题、解决问题的高手,为人类未来的福祉添砖加瓦。
