On the morning of October 10, 2019, when the whole country was celebrating the 70th birthday of the People’s Republic of China, more than 70 alumni of the 1964 mechanism of our school were full of deep attachments to their alma mater. They rushed back to ZJU from all over the world to celebrate the birthday of motherland and attended the 50th anniversary of graduation.
The School of Mechanical Engineering held a grand welcome ceremony in the library lecture hall. First of all, Mr. Yan Xiaolong, director of the Party and Government Office of the college, gave a detailed report on the development of the college in recent years to the alumni, and focused on the college's scientific research team, scientific research results and scientific development direction that the alumni are most concerned about. The alumni are extremely excited and proud of the rapid development and fruitful results of the college. Subsequently, the college awarded the alumni a special honor certificate and badge of honor; Zhu Guotao and Chen Jinhuang from Class 641, Jiang Yongzhao and Lou Zhengqi from Class 642, Zhang Ronghua and Yang Bupei from Class 643, and eight Hu Zuliang and Shi Bisheng from Class 644 The alumni took the stage as representatives to receive certificates and badges. The alumni representatives all expressed deep feelings and expressed that it was the honor of their life to be a student of Zhejiang University, and they were extremely proud of being able to witness the great changes that have taken place in the country and the nation. At the same time, he also expressed that it is under the encouragement of the school motto of "Seeking Truth and Innovation" of Zhejiang University that I pursue my original aspiration, work hard, and contribute to ZJU and the people!
The college arranged unique lunches for the alumni. They gathered in the first canteen for dinner. The situation of dining in the student canteen 50 years ago is vivid, and they relive the interesting events of the year in a light voice. In the afternoon, accompanied by the teachers of the college, the alumni came to the Zijingang campus with laughter and joy. After visiting and understanding the layout of the east campus, they came to the Qiushi lecture hall in the west campus. Looking at the new building of the School of Mechanical Engineering, the alumni are full of expectations for the future of the school. In the history museum, volunteers introduced the school's development history and brilliant achievements. The sand table on the Zijingang campus in the lobby on the first floor made the alumni admire, and finally collectively "checked in" the "net celebrity museum"-Zhejiang University Art and Archaeology Museum.
The grace was flourishing; now, my temples are dyed with frost. Fifty years, just a flick of a finger. Meeting is short, but friendship is eternal! The 50th Anniversary Reunion of Class 64 of our school's mechanism came to an end with endless warmth and touch. ZJUME is looking forward to the 60th, 70th, 80th, and 80th anniversary of graduation of the old alumni... wish the old alumni health and longevity!
