The Lianda Ethos

Abstract

It has been almost forty years now. Southwest Associated University, created through the joining together of Peking University, Qinghua University, and Nankai University, has long ceased to exist. And yet for those who once shared her worries and her suffering, and who once lived in her straw-thatched barracks, there are, time and time again, visitations of many intimate memories, recollecting with fondness the life and learning in those difficult days and years. We hope, too, the scholars of the history of Chinese education will reserve for her some space in their writing.
