Centenarian and Century-long Tradition - A Visit to Alumna He Wenzhen
On December 16, Prof. Wang Tianfu and Prof. Sun Xiulin, Dean and Vice Dean of the School of Social Sciences at Tsinghua University, Ms. Li Caixia, a staff member at the General Office of the Department of Sociology, as well as Ph.D. students Zhong Yu and Chen Lan visited alumna He Wenzhen, extending cordial greetings and paying high tribute to her on behalf of the Department of Sociology as the New Year was approaching.
We reviewed the history of sociology at Tsinghua together, and Prof. Wang Tianfu also shared the work of the School of Social Sciences and the Department of Sociology in recent years. Before we left, Ms. He told her son to treat us to a meal, during which we continued to communicate with each other. This visit was not only a tribute to Ms. He, but also an endeavor to show respect for history, touching our hearts. It is often said that elders are treasures. Ms. He's story is not only the pride of the Department of Sociology, but also the valuable wealth of every member of the Department. The old-timers of the Department of Sociology are precious treasures, not only for the ties they have established with the Department, but more importantly, Tsinghua's spirit of self-discipline embedded in them. Let's keep on moving with this in mind, and contribute to the future of the Department of Sociology.
