Strolling through the Wuhan University campus, every inch of the land exudes profound cultural heritage.

🌟 Wuhan University: A Century-Old Cherry Blossom Poem 📜 Tales of Luojia By the banks of the Yangtze River in Wuhan lies an academic sanctuary nestled at the foot of Luojia Mountain—Wuhan University. Established in 1893, this century-old institution is not only a witness to China's modern higher education but also a cultural gem woven together by architecture, cherry blossoms, and scholarship. Walking through the campus feels like stepping back into the Republican era, with every old building telling stories of time gone by. 🏛️ Architectural Museum 1️⃣ Old Library Completed in 1935, this palace-style building is known as the "Heart of Wuhan University." Its peacock-green glazed tiles shimmer under the sunlight. When Mr. Hu Shi visited, he marveled, "It rivals the Harvard Library!" The eighteen steps in front of the building are a favorite photo spot for graduates. 2️⃣ Cherry Blossom Top Old Dormitories Ascending along the Cherry Blossom Avenue, you'll encounter this Sino-Western architectural complex shaped like an "airplane." Built in the 1930s, it once served as a male dormitory. At sunset, standing on the rooftop offers a panoramic view of the entire campus, as if you've stepped into the fictional "Fortress Besieged" university. 3️⃣ Song Qing Gymnasium Named after the industrialist Li Yuanhong (courtesy name Song Qing) of the Republican era, this gymnasium preserves sports facilities from the 1930s. Its brick-red exterior stands out vividly in autumn. It's said that during the Anti-Japanese War, this was an important venue for patriotic speeches and gatherings. 🌸 Cherry Blossom Tales Every March, thousands of Japanese cherry trees planted in 1939 by the invading Japanese army burst into bloom. These trees have now become a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship. At dawn, you might spot silver-haired professors reading under the blossoms or young students cycling through petal showers, painting a breathtaking spring scene of Luojia. What moved me most was meeting a retired professor at the Sakura Garden Café. He told me, "These cherry blossoms have witnessed China's journey from poverty and weakness to great revival." In that moment, I realized Wuhan University's charm lies not just in its scenery but in the cultural power that transcends time. Wuhan University—a place where history is etched into every brick, a hall where cherry blossoms and scholarship dance together. Here, every falling petal whispers: Education is a nation's most enduring blossom.
