On the afternoon of October 25, more than 20 alumni of the Class of 2003 MBA program of the School of Economics and Management (SEM), USTB, carrying a deep attachment to and long-standing fond memories of their alma mater, gathered on campus from all corners of the country to renew the bond of classmates on the 20th anniversary of their graduation. Wu Sen, Secretary of the School Party Committee, attended the seminar and exchange session.

At 2:30 p.m., the alumni, accompanied by a guide, slowly walked into the University History Museum. They lingered before the yellowed photographs, listening to the stories of bygone years as if returning to those youthful days filled with the sound of reading aloud and high spirits. They not only revisited the university's inspiring journey of serving the nation and pursuing excellence, but also, amid the light and shadow of history, caught sight of the traces of their own youth left behind in the past.
