On April 3rd, representatives of faculty and staff members and students from International Campus, ZJU, came from Haining to Wansong Academy at the foot of Phoenix Mountain by the West Lake and launched a special party history learning course to pay homage to YU Zisan, a student from Zhejiang University, a practitioner of truth seeking and revolutionary spirits, who sacrificed heroically in the patriotic student movement.
At nine o'clock, the memorial ceremony officially began. YUAN Chentai, the Executive Chairman of the International Campus Student Union presided over the ceremony and introduced the life deeds of Martyr YU. With full of admiration, LIAN Xinyu, the representative of the student party member and the Executive Chairman of the Student Union, told the thrilling student movement happened more than 70 years ago. By tracing back to the past, they are grateful to revolutionary pioneers such as martyr YU Zisan for carrying the hope of the country and the nation with their lives. They passed on the fire of ideals and beliefs, and let the revolutionary cause be inherited from generation to generation and perpetuate. Students on the International Campus, ZJU today are at the forefront of the school’s “double first-class” construction and international schooling. They must also inherit the spirit of martyr YU Zisan to combine their pursuit of life with the party’s commitment to a better life for the people and the country's modernization, to devote their best years to the people.
WAND Yufen, the Deputy Secretary of the China Party Committee of the International Campus, ZJU, said that seventy-four years later, the world is still that world, but China is no longer the old China it was then. It is precisely because generations of ZJUer like martyr YU Zisan continued to fight for the independence of the country, the liberation of the nation, and the construction of a modern and powerful socialist country. The spirit of Martyr YU Zisan showed the lofty patriotism and ambition of the people in Zhejiang University which inspired generations of teachers and students in Zhejiang University. Studying in a campus characterized by Sino-foreign cooperation, each student must be firmer consciously in the correct political direction, always keep in mind the promise of "taking the world as one's own responsibility", and actively participate in the construction of the "international cooperative education model area". All students should consciously integrate their patriotism, aspiration and action into the great practice of building a modern and powerful socialist country, carry the mission on the shoulders, consciously combine the personal future with the future of the country, stand up to the forefront, and strive forever.
All the teachers and students stood solemnly and bowed deeply to the martyr. The blossoming white flowers, like the pure love only for China, pay the highest respect and infinite remembrance to martyr YU Zisan.
