Friday, July 3rd, 1981 - Me with the Wuda students and faculty members who came to see me off.

English graduate student class, Wuhan University, 1979-1981.
The first group of graduate students in many years at that university. I'm hoping a thirty-year reunion of this group will occur in the spring of 2011, when we can get caught up on the many different lives this outstanding group of individuals have led since our parting. (The pictures are copied from slides; thus the rather poor quality).
Back row, from left: Shi Kuan, Li Qing-sheng, Chen Jian-ling, Ying Lai-xi, Zhou Xin-ping, Huang Ke, Liu Han-bing, Song Xiao-ping, Yang Ya-sha, Cao Lu-bin.
Front row, from left: Luo Cheng, Zhang Yu-jiou, Xu Hai-lan, Yang Yu-sen, Xuan Shen, Huang Mu-qiang. The right hand five in the front row are teacher colleagues.

June 1981: the class of 1977. I wonder where they are now and what they're all doing?
I'm going to be uploading various pictures from that time to this blog, and hope that some of the students from those days may run across them and contact me when I'm in Wuhan during the 2010-2011 academic year.
