①Recently, an acknowledgements section from a doctoral thesis has gone viral. The author reviewed his bumpy, challenging road to reach this point, which touched a large number of netizens.
近日，一篇博士论文的致谢部分在网上走红。作者回顾了他一路走来，历经坎坷、充满挑战的人生道路，感动了众多网友。

②"I have come a long way and endured a great deal of hardships to present this dissertation before you. During 22 years of study, the road has been a rainy and muddy one. It was not easy getting here," the author, Huang Guoping, of the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, wrote at the beginning of his thesis.

作者黄国平毕业于中国科学院，他在论文致谢的开头写道：“我走了很远的路，吃了很多的苦，才将这份博士学位论文送到你的面前。二十二载求学路，一路风雨泥泞，许多不容易。”

③In the thesis, he mentioned he was born in a mountainous area and his mother left home when he was 12. His father died in a traffic accident when he was 17, and in the same year, his only remaining family member -- his grandmother — passed away.

在论文致谢中，他提到，自己出生在一个小山坳里，母亲在他十二岁时离家。在他十七岁时，父亲因交通事故离世。同年，唯一剩下的家人——他的奶奶也去世了。

④From middle school in a remote mountainous area to Southwest University in Chongqing, and finally pursuing his doctoral degree in University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the capital of China, he said "he couldn't remember how many times he had felt overwhelmed by the burdens of life."

从偏远山区的中学到重庆的西南大学，最后在中国首都的中国科学院攻读博士学位，他说，“记不清有多少次因为现实的压力而觉得自己快扛不下去了。”

⑤"But my belief has been simple. I wanted to keep studying, and get out of the mountainous area. I think it could prove I haven't lived in vain."

“这一路，信念很简单，把书念下去，然后走出去，不枉活一世。”

⑥His dream did come true. After getting his doctorate in 2017, Huang went to work for Tencent, a leading enterprise in the internet industry, as a senior researcher in the company's AI Lab.

他的梦想实现了。2017年获得博士学位后，黄国平入职顶级互联网公司腾讯，担任该公司人工智能实验室的高级研究员。
