Chapter 189: Alumni Gather

Tunghai University's centennial celebration has a long time cycle, and the activities are scattered throughout the academic year. Jiang Chao spoke as a representative at the school anniversary kick-off meeting, and the piano performance was at the school celebration gala the next night.

As the time of the kick-off meeting of the school celebration is gradually approaching, the entire Tunghai University begins to be filled with a tense and busy atmosphere, and the student union officers who decorate the school scene can be seen everywhere. At the same time, some school celebrations have begun to be prepared in advance. For example, the compilation of a series of books for the school anniversary, such as the layout of the exhibition hall of the centennial Tunghai University, etc.

The atmosphere was intense.

The outside world has also paid more attention to Tunghai University, and it is often seen that reporters from various news stations can be seen at Tunghai University in front of the camera to introduce the preparations for the celebration of Tunghai University.

During this time, there were also more people at Tunghai University than usual. There are many students from other colleges and universities who come to visit, and there are also many old alumni who have graduated from Tunghai University.

Jiang Chao often saw some middle-aged and elderly alumni coming in groups in the school, and some elderly people couldn't help but burst into tears after returning to campus. Having not experienced their era of extreme material and spiritual poverty, it is difficult for today's young people to understand that feeling.

Of course, there are also some seniors who have graduated in recent years. There are even several couples who met at Tunghai University to take wedding photos at their alma mater at a very meaningful moment such as the centennial celebration. Jiang Chao will of course think of Judy after seeing it, although they didn't meet here, but they officially fell in love here, thinking of the future of him and Judy, Jiang Chao naturally couldn't help but silently send blessings to those couples.

In such an atmosphere, all Tunghai University students pay more attention to their image and temperament than usual, because at this time, every Tunghai University student represents not only themselves, but also the face of the entire Tunghai University!

This moment of pride belongs to everyone at Tunghai University.

This tense atmosphere reached its peak in the week leading up to the school anniversary kick-off meeting.

First of all, a large number of CCTV reporters were in place, and Jiang Chao met several anchors who he used to see on news broadcasts. I have to say that they are dignified on TV, and they also look outstanding in reality.

With the CCTV reporters in place, followed by the inspection of national leaders. The day before the kick-off meeting, several national leaders who graduated from Tunghai University visited Tunghai University on behalf of the alumni of that year, visited the university's history museum, various science and technology centers, and research centers, and had cordial conversations with the students during the inspection.

Many outstanding students and researchers introduced the most cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements to the leaders of the central government. Of course, this kind of moment is not the turn of Jiang Chao's type of student. To be honest, Jiang Chao admires this kind of classmate who has made real contributions to the progress of the country. They may be unknown, but their careers may go down in history.

The students of Tunghai University did not have so many opportunities to come into contact with these big names, and they enthusiastically watched.

In addition, there is also a summit of Chinese and foreign famous universities, Tunghai University has invited hundreds of world-class universities to visit delegations, during this time, Tunghai University any foreigner who is not good-looking may be the president of an Ivy League school.

For the students of Tunghai University, it was like a holiday, and a strange feeling of sacredness lingered in everyone's heart.

Before the kick-off meeting, Jiang Chao would go to the venue every day to participate in rehearsals. His program is not a solo performance, but a performance with an entire symphony orchestra.

......

The time finally came for the day of the kick-off meeting.

The kick-off meeting was held in the auditorium of Tunghai University, and more than 1,000 seats were not absent. The people who were able to attend the kick-off meeting were all outstanding alumni who had received invitations or people who were of great significance to Tunghai University. Because he needed to speak, he sat in a front seat, and there were very few students like him in the room.

Next to Jiang Chao, there was an aisle on one side and a middle-aged man on the other. This middle-aged man is a little familiar, Jiang Chao saw that the middle-aged man's seat card had his name written on it, Li Meng, and suddenly remembered that he was a very famous entrepreneur in China.

Li Meng also saw Jiang Chao's seat card, and chatted with Jiang Chao casually with a smile.

The podium was filled with photographic equipment, and reporters nervously made the final adjustments to the equipment.

Outside the venue, Tunghai University's own TV channel broadcast the whole process, and the display screen in every corner of Tunghai University in the canteen, classroom, and dormitory was broadcasting the kick-off meeting.

In the announcement of the moderator, the conference finally officially began.

Be quiet.

Although Jiang Chao was not nervous at all beforehand, at this moment, in this situation, his heartbeat still accelerated slightly.

The moderator began to introduce the visiting guests.

"Central Leading ......"

"...... of alumni representatives in the 30s"

"...... of the 40s alumni representatives"

There are many alumni of Tunghai University who are active in various fields and many domestic scientists, and there are also many gray-haired old people who have returned from abroad as overseas Chinese, most of whom have settled abroad before the founding of China, donated money and materials to the country during the Anti-Japanese War, and made great contributions to the founding of the motherland. Sitting here at this time, I have already burst into tears.

After the alumni of the following periods were introduced in turn, when it came to the well-known alumni in recent years, there were finally many people who Jiang Chao could name, such as Yao Ming who sat in the corner but seemed to be standing, and the well-known singer Shang Wenjie......

Next, there are many non-alumni guests who have been invited to attend, but they are all bigwigs in various fields. Among these characters, Jiang Chao is not so dazzling.

It took more than ten minutes to introduce the guests, and finally reached the main stage of the conference. President He Yong announced the opening of the conference, the first agenda item, alumni representatives spoke!

The applause continued.

As the two girls Jiang Chao met a few days ago said, the first three were indeed Academician Zhao, Mayor Long and Teacher Su.

Academician Zhao is a respected old man, standing at the forefront of science and technology, and his contributions have penetrated into various fields of military, aerospace and civilian use. The social elite of that generation had feelings that are difficult for the people of the moment to understand, and they were great people who truly dedicated everything they had to the motherland and the people.

Jiang Chao listened to Professor Zhao's speech silently, and his inner reverence arose spontaneously, and at the same time, he was full of emotion. Maybe their names are not as well-known as a certain star at the moment, but history will remember them eventually, and in a few decades or even more than ten years, the names of those stars will have long been forgotten.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao couldn't help but think of himself...... I wonder if it's possible that I will also be remembered by history?

Without waiting for Jiang Chao to think about it, Academician Zhao's speech ended. He stepped down from the podium accompanied by the staff, and many people in the audience were moved to tears.

Next, Mayor Long and Mr. Su, a returnee, also took the stage in turn.

All in all, the three of them cut into their respective fields, telling their deep feelings for this century-old university, this country, and this nation, and their content is also deeply engraved with the imprint of their respective times.

Finally, it was time for the fourth alumni to speak.

All those who are paying attention to this kick-off meeting are curious about what kind of person the student union is as the representative of the new era of Tunghai University.

In the dormitory.

Because of some personal matters, it was difficult for Judy to go back to the dormitory and watch this high-profile kick-off meeting of Tunghai University with her roommates.

"I don't know who it will be!" Zou Ya looked at the TV in the bedroom expectantly, and suddenly asked Judy with a smile: "It can't be your boyfriend, right?"

Of course, she knew that it was Jiang Chao, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, but she still pretended to be dazed and said, "I don't know...... I'm so curious!"

Zou Ya guessed the clue as soon as she saw Judy's expression, and couldn't help but gently hit Judy nonsense, thought about it, and said in a tone of surprise: "Look at your little expression! Could it really be him?"

Judy giggled for a moment, then smiled without saying a word: "It's going on stage soon, don't you know when you see it?"
