Campus with patriotism

The play My National Southwestern Associated University will be staged at Peking University Centenary Hall next Tuesday and Wednesday, telling a story about passion and patriotism.

The play is based on students' stories at National Southwestern Associated University, which only existed from 1937-45 but was said to be the best university in China at the time. Formed collectively by Tsinghua University, Peking University and Nankai University when the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, students struggled for knowledge and fought for their country.

The play conveys a vivid picture of their hard work, recalling the relationship between teachers and students, love and hatred, life and study.
