The teacher in charge of class three Prof. Liu Shoufen expressed his feelings about change of students and thanked students for the satisfaction they had brought. The teacher in charge of class four Prof. Li Ming thought that thirty-year relationship of alumni had changed to kinship and students need to help each other. The teacher in charge of class five Prof. Sheng Minjie encouraged students to exercise and called on students to meet together thirty years later.

Alumni of 82-grade were concerned about development of school and established the ‘ 8215 alumni fund’ at the 30th anniversary commemoration. At the commemoration Prof. Wang Xin, as the secretary of the foundation council, thanked the alumni again for their unpaid donation and introduced the use of the 8215 scholarship. Student representative of Law School, undergraduate of 2014-grade Ding Hui said that he would model these old schoolmates and study hard, and pass down the goodness.

All the students have grown up and became elites of their field. At the end of the commemoration, alumni of 82-grade started to give registration record cards out. Getting their cards of admission, seeing the young face in black-and-white photograph and recalling their college life, alumni of 82-grade had mixed feelings. They felt proud because they were students of Peking University. But they were also evoked various of emotion about their past youth.
