Saturday, September 1, 1991. Counselor Sun Zhi arrived at the Bauhinia Building at half past eight in the morning, gathered the students of the 931 class downstairs, and took them to the teaching building of the Department of Computer Science.

Class 911 is located in a small classroom on the fourth floor, and the head teacher Wang Yilan is already sitting on the podium of the classroom.

There is a name written on each desk, which is the seat arranged by Wang Yilan and Sun Zhi according to the height of each student and their personal personality based on their observations during military training.

There are a bunch of textbooks and a class schedule on each table, Yu Ming's seat is in the 7th row of the 3rd column, Yu Ming walked to the seat and sat down, and looked at the textbooks of the previous semester, all of which are basic courses, including "Calculus", "Linear Algebra", "English", "German", "College Physics", "Introduction to Mathematical Equations", "Discrete Mathematics", "Operations Research", "Statistical Mechanics", "Computer Principles", etc.

The class schedule is much more relaxed than in high school, with four classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon, including two days without classes in the afternoon and three physical education classes a week.

There are 6 rows and 7 rows of seats in the class, and there is an empty seat in the middle of the front row.

After Sun Zhi entered the classroom, he sat on the empty seat in front of him, and Wang Yilan first introduced the situation of the school:

Huaqing University is a famous institution of higher learning in China, located in the beautiful Huaqing Garden in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, and is an important base for the cultivation of high-level talents and scientific and technological research in China.

The main location of Huaqing University is Huaqing Garden, located in the northwest suburbs of Shangjing, a private garden in the Song Dynasty, and became a part of the Old Summer Palace in the late Ming Dynasty, called Xichun Garden, which was divided into Xichun Garden and Jinchun Garden in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and was renamed Huaqing Garden in the summer of the "May Fourth" Movement.

At present, Huaqing University has a construction area of 2.187 million square meters, and the school covers a total area of 404.4 hectares. The campus is full of green grass, shady trees, lakes and mountains, and elegant scenery.

The predecessor of Huaqing University was Huaqing School, which was established in 1911 as a preparatory school for studying in the United States in the late Ming Dynasty. In 1912, it was renamed Huaqing School, and in order to try the local cultivation of talents, the university department was established in 1925, and the Institute of Chinese Studies was established in the same year, and in 1928, it was renamed "National Huaqing University".

In 1952, after the adjustment of the departments of colleges and universities in China, Huaqing University became a multidisciplinary industrial university, focusing on cultivating engineering and technical talents for the country, and was known as the 'cradle of red engineers'. Since 1978, Huaqing University has entered a new period of vigorous development, gradually recovering the disciplines of science, economics, management and liberal arts, and establishing a graduate school and a school of continuing education.

In 1989, the Academy of Fine Arts of Huaqing University was established. In 1990, PBC School of Finance of Huaqing University was established.

At present, Huaqing University has 19 colleges, 55 departments, and 74 undergraduate majors. It is a comprehensive, research-oriented, and open university with disciplines such as science, engineering, art, history, philosophy, economics, management, law, education, and medicine.

Many faculties and departments of Huaqing have realized the integration of talent training with international standards, adopted English teaching or bilingual teaching in many courses, used foreign original textbooks, and jointly organized courses and joint training with world-famous universities, all of which are aimed at providing students with an international vision.

Huaqing University provides a comprehensive and personalized education for each student. Each semester, Huaqing University offers nearly 2,000 courses for all undergraduates, covering almost all subject areas. More than 2,000 courses, with the exception of a few courses with strong majors, are open to all students. Under the guidance of the training plan, students can take what they need according to their own study plan and interests. This leading course selection system in China has broken the traditional problem of closed departments and small freedom of course selection among students in China, and truly realized the charm of a comprehensive university.

Huaqing has the largest and highest level student art troupe in the country's colleges and universities (most of the 800 members are students admitted to the general college entrance examination), and there are more abundant art courses in comprehensive universities in the country, including art history, aesthetics, appreciation, art performance and artistic creation, etc., with an average of more than 7,000 students taking elective courses every year.

Huaqing has the most abundant physical education courses in comprehensive universities in China, with an average of more than 25,000 students taking elective courses every year, among which orienteering, shooting, diving, rhythmic gymnastics and other special courses are popular among students.

After introducing the situation of Huaqing University, Wang said:

"Qingfen is very beautiful, and Huaxia is bright. We, Huaqing people, should uphold the school motto of "unremitting self-improvement and virtue", carry forward the fine tradition of "patriotism, dedication, and pursuit of excellence", the school spirit of "actions speak louder than words" and the academic style of "rigorous, diligent, realistic and innovative", so as to make Huaqing University rank among the world's first-class universities and strive for the Chinese nation to stand on top of the world! ”

Wang Yilan was deeply relieved to see the excitement of her classmates.

Wang then introduced the computer department and the class.

Yu Ming's class is the 931 class of the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Huaqing University, which is a computer science department with strong comprehensive strength and great influence in the field of computer science in China, and ranks first in the national computer discipline evaluation hosted by the Academic Degrees Office of the State Council of China.

The Department of Computer Science has two first-level disciplines: Computer Science and Technology and Software Engineering.

Among them, the discipline of computer science and technology is one of the first batch of national key first-level disciplines in China.

There are 42 students in Yu Ming's 931 class, 41 of whom have been reported so far, and there is also a student from the Crescent Country who has not yet reported, and it is said that he has come to the phone and is training Chinese in China, saying that he will come to report next week.

Among the students who have been reported, there are 27 boys and 14 girls, and the ratio of boys to girls is close to 2:1, of which 2 boys and 1 girl are from Shangjing. Yu Ming is a little envious of the 3 classmates in Beijing, local students are good, the girl in Beijing is called Cheng Yingxi, who has the lowest score in the college entrance examination in the class, and the whole metaphor is 200 points less.

After introducing the computer department and the class, Wang Yilan then talked about the purpose and requirements of the campaign, and asked the students to start writing speeches for the cadres of the election class.

Seeing that the classmates had already started writing, Wang Yilan nodded to Sun Zhi, and left the classroom first because there was something to deal with.

There are two periods of writing time in the morning.

Yu Ming wrote the speech in only one class, and the other students also wrote it after two classes.

Sun Zhi received the speech, and then announced that everyone was free to move in the afternoon.

Sun Zhi skimmed through the speech in the afternoon, scored all 42 students in the class, made a score sheet, and handed it to Wang Yilan, who was doing experiments, to the laboratory.

Yu Ming received three text messages that afternoon.

The first text message was from Xue Jun, saying that their military training for freshmen at Beijing University had ended, and that Yu Ming would get together next Monday, and he would wait for Yu Ming at the east gate of Shanghai University at 6 o'clock in the afternoon on Monday.

The second text message was from Li Ruozhu, saying that he and Zhou Jilan took the K508 express train together and would arrive at Shangjing Railway Station at 3:30 p.m.

The third text message was from Zhou Jilan, saying that there was a reception station for the school at Shangjing Railway Station, asking Yu Ming not to pick them up, saying that they would meet again after the military training.

Yu Ming sent a text message back to all three of them, promising Xue Jun to meet at 6 p.m. next Monday, and the text message to Li Ruozhu and Zhou Jilan was to wait for them to get together after their military training.
