为了培养德、智、体全面发展的新一代大学生,近几年来我校开展了形式多样、丰富多彩的社会实践活动。1991年的寒假和暑假,先后有7000多、14000多人次参加了“寻访校友足迹,探索人生之路”、“寻访奉献者足迹,寻找共和国脊梁”的主题实践活动。同学们分赴祖国各地,深入工厂、农村、部队、科研单位等,了解国情、学习工农、认识自我,回校后纷纷召开座谈会、研讨会、演讲会等,总结、交流思想收获。《新清华》编辑部、广播台和校团委还联合举办了“实践归来话奉献”征文活动。本期,我们刊登两篇获奖征文,从一个侧面反映大学生参加社会实践活动的所见所闻、所感所思…… In order to cultivate a new generation of undergraduates with moral, intellectual and physical development, our school has carried out a variety of diverse and colorful social practice activities in recent years. During the winter and summer holidays of 1991, there were over 7,000 more than 14,000 people participating in the theme activities of “finding alumni footprint and exploring the road to life”, “finding the footsteps of devotees and looking for the spine of the republic”. Students went to all parts of the motherland and went deep into factories, rural areas, military units and research institutes to learn about their own conditions, learn from their workers and peasants, recognize themselves and hold seminars, seminars and lectures, etc., and summarize and exchange ideas. The “New Tsinghua” editorial department, the radio station and the school youth league committee also jointly organized the “practice returning words and contributions” essay activities. In this issue, we publish two award-winning essays, which reflect from one aspect what students see and think about participating in social practice activities.
