We all passed Prof Liu's 3000M test!
Many times when I go long jogging with several new friends, some of them got exhausted and gave up in the middle. But yesterday's jogging was an exception. The two new friends, at least ten years older than me, were leading the jog and continued to the end.
I was so curious and asked where they finished college. Oh well, they are all from CS@Tsinghua! All 9#ers! And we all remember Prof Liu, the PE Professor who drove every 9#er to go 3000M jogging every week.
Think about that, the rule was so cruel that no one can get graduated unless he passes Prof Liu's 3000M test in 15 mins (later the rule was relaxed to 17 mins after Liu's retirement, not sure now...) People hated him so much for that rule. But people also love him so much, for his dedication to our department and his enthusiasm to sports. And people used to call him "Lao Liu". Every afternoon, you could see Lao Liu in campus, driving some class of 9#ers running and running.
In my last year of college, Lao Liu retired and helped his children to manage a restaurant outside Tsinghua. I still remembered he "awarded" us extra soup when we finished hiking and had a great hot pot in the restaurant. :)
Now, three years later, four years later or ten years later, we are so proud to be from 9#, to have been trained by Lao Liu and to have survived the 3000M test. Confidently, we can work healthily, for fifty years.:)
