向光而行·为未来而来｜曼校新年致辞

亲爱的家人们,我和太太文静，两个儿子Alex和Luis在纽约向灯塔的家人们送上最美好的祝愿，衷心祝福家人们在新的一年身体健康，阖家幸福，事业进步，学业有成。

时光如梭，转眼间曼校和灯塔走过了8年的不平凡历程，从爱丁堡到深圳，从一粒种子在大湾区播种到收获了沉甸甸的丰收果实，8年时光我们一起经历风雨，一起迎接彩虹。

曼校和行知作为大湾区学术卓越最具温暖的国际教育和国际化教育的优秀代表，8年来用心服务每一位需要关注和帮助的孩子，在相互信任与尊重中，构建良好的师生关系，家校关系，社区关系，成为托举孩子们健康快乐成长，塑造灵魂与品格，知书达理，向上向善的中坚力量。我们真正做到了让普通的孩子不普通，优秀的孩子更优秀。

回首往昔，灯塔家人远离祖国，远离家乡，远离亲人，相聚湾区，为梦想而战，你们是最美的风景。

展望未来，灯塔之光更加璀璨。给人光明,给人目标，给人希望，给人力量是灯塔神圣的使命，灯塔家人们要时刻牢记将心注入以爱育爱的育人理念，用满腔热情和无私的爱奉献给孩子，家庭学校和伟大的教育事业上。

十年树木百年树人，教育事业需要积淀和持续性投入，更需要心力的注入，爱的奉献。我非常感激我的家人和金龙大家庭从办学之初对曼校和行知的巨大资金支持。此刻再向大家同步一个好消息，2026-2030下一个五年，我的家庭将再向曼校和行知注入1亿元资金，继续发力支持两所学校安全运营，高质量发展。

作为投资人把曼校和行知当做自己的孩子培养，家人们更要把曼校和行知的孩子当做自己的孩子培育，用假如我是孩子，假如是我的孩子与孩子们正确相处，建立信任和友谊，彼此珍惜与感恩，让我们在孩子们的心中拥有一席之地。

家人们，我大儿子Alex在母校学习，小儿子Luis在深圳曼校成长，我期待着你们的孩子也能够在曼校和行知找到属于他们自己的成长空间，在灯塔之光的照耀下策马扬鞭，向光而行。我们是心心相印，命运与共，一生相伴的战友。

圣诞与元旦放假了，大家回到自己的家乡好好陪伴家人，一起度过一个难忘而有意义的节日。

一个梦想,一个目标

一家人，一颗心

为未来而来，未来可期。

Dear Parents, Friends, and Lighthouse family,

My wife Wenjing and I, together with our two sons, Alex and Luis, send our warmest wishes from New York to all members of the Lighthouse community. We sincerely wish everyone good health, family happiness, continued professional growth, and academic success in the year ahead.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, MIS and Lighthouse have journeyed through eight extraordinary years. From Edinburgh to Shenzhen, from a single seed planted in the Greater Bay Area to today’s abundant harvest—over these eight years, we have weathered storms together and welcomed rainbows side by side.

As outstanding representatives of academically excellent yet deeply caring international and globally oriented education in the Greater Bay Area, MIS and MAS have, for eight consecutive years, served every child who needs attention and support with dedication and heart. Built on mutual trust and respect, we have fostered strong teacher–student relationships, healthy home–school partnerships, and a supportive community. Together, we have become a vital force in nurturing children to grow up healthy and happy, shaping their character and spirit, cultivating knowledge, integrity, and kindness. We have truly achieved our mission: making ordinary children extraordinary, and outstanding children even more outstanding.

Looking back, many Lighthouse family members have left their homeland, hometowns, and loved ones to gather in the Greater Bay Area and fight for their dreams. You are the most beautiful sight along this journey.

Looking ahead, the light of the Lighthouse will shine even brighter. To bring light, direction, hope, and strength to others is the sacred mission of the Lighthouse. All Lighthouse family members should always remember our educational philosophy—educating with love by leading with the heart—and devote boundless passion and selfless care to children, to families and schools, and to the great cause of education.

It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to educate people. Education requires long-term commitment, sustained investment, and, above all, the dedication of the heart and the giving of love. I am deeply grateful to my family and the broader Gold Dragon family for their substantial financial support of MIS and MAS since the very beginning. Today, I am pleased to share another piece of good news: during the next five-year period, from 2026 to 2030, my family will invest an additional RMB 100 million into MIS and MAS to continue supporting their safe operations and high-quality development.

As investors, we nurture MIS and MAS as if they were our own children. Likewise, we ask every member of the Lighthouse family to care for the students of MIS and MAS as if they were your own—interacting with them with the mindset of “if I were the child” or “if this were my child.” Build trust and friendship, cherish one another, and remain grateful, so that we may hold a lasting place in the hearts of our children.

Dear Lighthouse family, my elder son Alex studied at MCS before, and my younger son Luis is growing up at MIS in Shenzhen. I sincerely hope that your children, too, will find their own space to grow at MIS and MAS—walking toward the light under the illumination of the Lighthouse. We are kindred spirits, bound by a shared destiny, lifelong comrades on this journey.

With Christmas and New Year’s holidays upon us, may everyone return home, spend quality time with family, and enjoy a memorable and meaningful festive season together.

One Dream, One Target

One Family, One Heart

We come for the future, and the future is full of promise.
