No one can stop the passage of time, as they say. This year, amidst Beijing’s beautiful autumn, amongst the vibrant colours of the falling leaves, RUC will celebrate its 80th anniversary. Eighty years through sunshine and pouring rain, RUC has persevered in its goal of being a university of academic excellence serving the people and the nation. We strive to be amongst the best, sharing a common destiny with humanity, and march towards our target of being amongst the world’s best institutes of higher learning.
In order to mark this momentous occasion, and to honour the beating heart of our university, that is to say, our students, we are inviting all RUC international students past and present to create a short video for our celebration, expressing their feelings toward their alma mater in celebration of our 80th anniversary celebration.
1. Eligibility

2. Video requirements
i The theme for the content is “what you’d like to say to your alma mater on her 80th anniversary.” If you graduated a long time ago, focus on reflections from your time at RUC. Recent graduates can express their hopes for the future. Please end your video by saying “happy 80th birthday Renmin University!” (祝人大八十岁生日快乐 – zhù rén dà bā shí suì shēng rì kuài lè!)
