  • Four Chinese University Reunion on a Perfect Autumn Day in Boston

    By Beatrice Lee, bostonese.com columnist

    Boston, Oct. 22, 2013, –I went to the four Chinese university (Fudan, Jiaotong, Nanjing and Nankai) reunion in Brighton on Oct. 19. TaiDa wasn’t there. I guess that Tsinghua, Chiao-Da and PKU weren’t there either. Of course, Jeh-Kuo and Taipei 1st girls high school weren’t there. I had studied in Chung-King Nankai Middle School and Nanjing Chung-Da-Fu-Chung (Nanjing University) before I went to Taiwan. I wore so many “HATS”, being the oldest, probably the only white hair grandma there. I felt very much at “home” with these groups. I love to be mingled with the younger set, and the beautiful weather this Fall in Boston has been really awesome.
