Dr. Xie: Because all these three practitioners as well as myself started to practice Falun Gong when we were studying at Tsinghua University, we know each other.Among them, I know Wang Weiyu better because we both entered Tsinghua in 1991 and our dormitories were very close.At that time, I was a student in the Chemical Engineering Department, and he was a student in the Economics Department.He did things with a very rigorous attitude and highly respected Tsinghua's motto "Self-Discipline and Social Commitment."He was very popular among students and won a lot of scholarships.He was indeed a very good student of good character and scholarship.
