Features: Every university has an inherent spirit. The four characters "Shui Qing Mu Hua" may well be seen as a symbol of Tsinghua's spirit. Indeed, while Tsinghua is renowned for its strong programs in science and engineering, the Tsinghua people who take the world upon themselves also possess fervent humanistic sentiments. The literary lineage inherited from the "Old Tsinghua" students is vividly embodied in the new generation of students, with these young authors at the prime of their youthful vigor. Their surging passion naturally translates into an inexhaustible flow of poetic creativity. The combination of strengths in both the humanities and sciences, complementary expertise, rigorous critical thinking, and fresh ideas are the distinctive traits showcased in these original works from Tsinghua campus.
