• About Tsinghua Memory
• Tsinghua Memory—Digital Initiative on Oral History of Senior
Tsinghua Alumni, launched in the late 2006, is dedicated to
interviewing those who have experienced the history of Tsinghua
University via video recording.
• About Tsinghua University
• Established in 1911 with part of the “Boxer Indemnity” (庚子赔款)
fund, Tsinghua was at first a preparatory school called “Tsinghua
Xuetang” (清华学堂) for students who were to be sent by the
government to study in the United States.
• About Tsinghua University
• About Tsinghua University
• Presently, Tsinghua has become a leading comprehensive university
with engineering as its focus, while concurrently offering degrees in
science, liberal arts, management and law.
• Tsinghua University Library
• Origin of the Project
• In September 2006, when we were arranging Professor Huang Wanli
(黄万里)’s manuscripts, Ms. Hu Kangjian (胡康健) and Mr. Tao
Zhongyuan (陶中源) suggested that we collect renowned professors’
materials of Tsinghua University to become a special collection of
Tsinghua University Library.
• Development
• The project was funded by “Tsinghua University Humanities and
Social Sciences Development Foundation” (清华大学人文社科振兴基
金) in 2007.
• Since then, over 20 alumni have been interviewed.
• Workflow
• Considering the age problem, we first selected interviewees over 80
of age. At first, the list was mainly based on the historical materials
on Tsinghua University, such as Tsinghua University 90 Years (《清
华大学九十年》), Annals of Tsinghua University (《清华大学志》),
From Tsinghua Xuetang to Tsinghua University (《从清华学堂到清华
大学》), etc.
• Workflow
• We have three contact persons: Ms. Hu Kangjian, Mr. Tao
Zhongyuan, and Mr. Zhang Kecheng (张克澄), who are Tsinghua
alumni descendants.
• Workflow
• When the time and place were booked, we search the interviewee’s
information via the internet, books and journals, refer to relevant
historical materials, and then work out the interview outline.
• Workflow
• During the interview, the interviewees will first talk about their early
years, including their childhood, preliminary education, middle school
and high school times, and then the situation in various phases of
Tsinghua University, focusing upon their personal experiences, their
study, work and life in the campus.
• Mr. Wu Zongji (吴宗济) in the interview
• Ms. Kang Shoushan (康寿山), student of Xu Beihong (徐悲鸿)
• Post-editing
• The interview results will be imported to computer as lossless AVI
and edited with Sony Vegas.
• As to a specific video, there will be a brief introduction to the alumnus
at the beginning and a copyright statement in the end.
• Introduction of Prof. Shi Shisheng (施士昇) at the beginning of a video
• A frame of the video of Prof. Guo Shikang (郭世康)
