Hi, Wenge, Sikun and Zeng Feng,

I attended Peking University Alumni Forum at Zhu Hai on Oct. 28th, 2001. The

forum was combined and sponsored by Baida Education Investment Corporation

Limited who established a Baida Ke Ji Yuan at Zhu Hai, Guang Dong Province.

The management team of Peking University paid highly interests in this forum,

president Xu Zhihong and the Peking University Party Secretary, Prof. Wang De

Bin, vice president Hao Bin of PKU Alumni Association, Vice president Lü Zhao

Feng (from Peking Univ. Medical School) and some others attended the forum and

gave speech at the forum. There are about 80 representatives from various Baida

Alumni Association of almost all provinces and big cities of China.

Professor Wang gave a short opening speech, and then President Xu introduced the

current status of Baida and what Baida will do and its needs in the next one or

two years. Vice president Lu introduced the situation of the Medical School of

Peking University after the successful merge of two independent universities.

Vice President Hao Bin focused on the future work of the Peking University

Alumni Association Office and of the Education Foundation of Peking University.

He gave suggestions for all the representatives to discuss in the afternoon of

Oct. 28. One of important issues all the four University leaders emphasized was

the merge of the Alumni Associations of the former two universities - Peking

Univ. and the former Beijing Medical University. The leaders gave us a 16-word

guideline: "Duo1 Yuan2 Yi4 Ti1, Zhi4 Yuan4 Xie2 Xiang1, Ji1 Ji2 Ying2 Dao3,

Shun4 Qi2 Zhi4 Yan2".

I have more details in written documents distributed in the forum, and I will

gave them to you too.

Following the University leaders' speech, Peking University also presented the

honors to some alumni. They planned to give four types of honor to alumni: the

first one is the distinguished alumni of Peking University who made

distinguished contributions to the country and the nation - this one is of the

highest honor and criteria; however, due the selection criteria from different

alumni association is different and hard to judge during the very short time, so

PKU decided not to present this honor to any one this year, but leave the prize

to next time; the second type of prize is honor to those who are friends of

Baida - Bei1 Jing1 Da1 Xue2 Rong2 Yu4 Xiao4 You3; the third type of prize is

honored to those who are distinguished in the volunteering working for the

alumni societies (Bei1 Jing1 Da4 Xue2 You1 Shou4 Xiao4 You3 Gong1 Zhuo1 Jiang3);

the fourth type of prize is honored to those who contributed a lot to the work

of alumni and contributed their time and money to support the various Beida

causes - Bei1 Jing1 Da4 Xue2 Xiao4 You2 Gong1 Zhuo1 Gong4 Xian4 Jiang2). This

time, three alumni from PUAASC have got prizes, Mr. Lan Sikun got a "You1 Shou4

Xiao4 You3 Gong1 Zhuo1 Jiang3; Mr. Wen Run Zhi and Ms. Wang Li Zhen got "Xue2

Xiao4 You2 Gong1 Zhuo1 Gong4 Xian4 Jiang2".

I was the only representative coming from alumni from overseas and gave a speech

on behalf of PUAASC. Only 5 out of 40 Baida alumni associations were given the

chance to give a speech in the morning of the overall meeting, which is a honor

to PUAASC too. The title of my speech is How to Raise fund for the Education

Foundation of Peking University in Overseas. My speech mainly follow the outline

given by Wenge through the email and Wenge's speech given at the Bay Area in

middle of April when The Education Foundation of Peking University (USA) was

founded (the speech of Wenge and the photograph of you three with president Xu

are published the newest journal Bai Da Ren). I will gave the Journal Bai Da Ren

to you guys together with other materials.
