Cheng Lesong, head of Peking University's Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, delivered a speech at the university's 2025 opening ceremony that quickly went viral for its reflections on life, authenticity, and anxiety.

“与其给大家一大堆的学术和学习建议，形成一个空洞且并无多大价值的‘共识’，还不如与大家说一些学术以外的生活经验”，结合“北大哲学人”公众号的标注，程乐松在2025年开学典礼的致辞中，有不少“金句”被网友“划线”转载：
就我自己而言，生活的根本任务在于，找到属于你的、适当且愉快的生活方式。
The essential task of life is to discover a way of living that is genuinely your own — both fitting and joyful.
在我们这个时代读哲学最大的挑战不是来自学科的知识难度和持续学习的耐心，而是无处不在的质疑，特别是基于工具理性和实用主义的、那种自以为是的精明带来的无知的傲慢。
The greatest challenge of studying philosophy today lies not in the difficulty of knowledge or the patience it requires, but in the ceaseless questioning we face — above all, the arrogant ignorance born of utilitarian rationality and a false sense of cleverness.
我给各位的建议是，即使没有专注读书，也不要像一个花蝴蝶一样出现在校园活动和社交的每一个场合，太多的选项与没有选项在本质上是一样的。
Even if you are not devoted to constant reading, don't flutter through every campus event like a butterfly. Too many options, in truth, are no different from having none at all.
实际上，相对于不断涌向我们的无限丰富的不确定性，任何高瞻远瞩的人生规划，和十分精密的算计在时间面前不仅是脆弱的，甚至是可笑和荒谬的。
Against the boundless uncertainties that surround us, any far-sighted plan or meticulous calculation proves fragile — at times even laughable and absurd.
我希望大家不要用精明的利益算计来代替深入内心的反思，也不要用虚无缥缈的伟大前程来消磨投入当下的热情。
Do not let shrewd calculations of interest replace deep inner reflection, nor allow lofty visions of the future to drain your passion for the present.
如果可以在当下保持心灵的平静，且在未来不反复懊恼和悔恨，那么任何一段时光都是值得的。陷入焦虑和懊恼且无法自拔，是我能够想象的、唯一浪费生命的方式。
If you can keep your heart at peace in the present and avoid repeated regrets in the future, then every moment is worthwhile. The only true waste of life, as I see it, is to be trapped without escape in anxiety and remorse.
今年6月，程乐松毕业典礼致辞中的一句“生活的最大天敌就是不自觉地陷入虚假的表演——不是做自己，而是在表演别人眼中的自己”，被众多媒体转载。
This is not Cheng's first viral moment. In June, his graduation speech drew wide attention after he cautioned students against "not being yourself, but performing the image others hold of you."

如今的开学典礼致辞，在带动高频转赞的同时，也引发了不少年轻人对“哲学研究”“生活状态”的思考。
你有什么收获，欢迎聊聊！
