The idea of grouping alumni from Beijing Tsinghua in the Silicon Valley
can be traced as early as 1994. Led by Hong Dong, the very first Spring
Picnic was held on a sunny spring day in 1994. A small group of Beijing
Tsinghua alumi with their friends and family gathered in Bayland Park
started the fire that has united the alumni of Beijing Tsinghua University
every since. The next year (1995), more than 150 Beijing Tsinghua
Alumni and their families showed up at the spring picnic. The event
was organized by more volunteers, among them there were
Jay Deng, Yu Liu, Lifeng Wu, Xusheng Zhang, Liansheng Xie, Datong
Chen, Yu Guan, Ying Chen, Jian Li, Don Zhao, Xingping He, Kewei Yang and Li Gong.
Witnessed the success of the event, organizers decided to make the
spring picnic a tradition for the Tsinghua alumni in the Bay Area.
Held every year in the early May, around the same time of the anniversary
celebration of our Alma Mater, Tsinghua University in Beijing. The
spring picnic has since become a tradition for alumni in the Silicon
Valley to reunite with friends from the school days and to make connections
with new ones. It’s a day of sunshine, friendship and delicious food.
