2023-04-04

In the College English IV course, students were asked to vote for the TOP 10 items on must-do list for ZJUers. Let’s see what ranks No.10 on ZJUers’ list.

The Alma Mater of Zhejiang University was written by distinguished Chinese scholar MA Yifu and composed by celebrated composer YING Shangneng in 1938. It is one of the integral parts of campus ceremonial events to sing the Alma Mater. While singing this song, we will feel intoxicated by its charming tune and immersed in its profound meaning. As the Alma Mater is sung in the very beginning, “Being vast need ne’er occasion complacency, The Sea will a myriad of rivers embrace.” ZJUers will carry the baton and pass down Qiushi Spirit mirrored in the Alma Mater from generation to generation.
