Tsinghua Ph.D. Forum, 9/3/05

Invited by Prof. NIU Zhisheng 牛志升, I went to Tsingua for this forum. The first picture has Prof. GONG Ke 龚克 giving his keynote speech. He taught a couple of lectures in the advanced communications technology seminar when I was in the graduate school here.

In the second picture, I especially like the tea cups which was shot by Nicolas Bonneau of INRIA, France. The poem in the right side of the cup means:

Coming back to my hometown that I left as a youngster,
with the same accent, but white and torn sideburns.
Meeting kids who I have never seen.
They smilingly ask where I am coming from.
