On April 26, 2025, with the arrival of spring, blooming bauhinia flowers, and the most beautiful days of April, Tsinghua University celebrated its 114th anniversary. Taking this opportunity, Liew Jin Yi, Founding President of the Malaysia Tsinghua Alumni Association, and Fabian Kong, Founding Vice President, returned to campus to attend the 20th Reunion of the Class of 2001 held at the Physics Department, Computer Science Department, and the New Tsinghua Auditorium. Fabian Kong represented the alumni in the Class of 2001 donation ceremony.
During this time, they also toured the library, Tsinghua History Museum, Schwarzman College, and the Art Museum, feeling deeply excited and proud of the university’s progress and achievements. They also reconnected with alumni from their respective departments, reminiscing about the past. In this joyful spring reunion, every sight brought back memories, and every step was filled with heartfelt emotions.
On April 27, 2025, Liew Jin Yi met with Kathryn Low, Executive Vice President of the Tsinghua Malaysia Students Association, and Jayson Chia, Head of Public Relations.
