烽火台

This is a special place to all CU people, alumni, students, staff alike.
This is also a place of deep emotional attachment to i believe all who have studies in CUHK.
Located just in front of the university library, this is more than mere a sculpture. Rumors have it that whoever dares to pass thru the arch of the sculpture, he or she shall never graduate from the university unless he or she rolls down the steep flight of stairs next to chinese culture research center. I am not sure how true the rumor is, but i rarely see people date to pass through the arch.
It is also a place for big events to take place.
In the university dance community, during the first semester there will be joint-​U mass dance; dance teams of different universities will flock to this part of CU for a show. The statue serves as a backdrop to witness the show. While in the past it was actually the place for student to hold forums to discuss political issues, a place for different opinions to voice out. It is also a place to gather and to unite the students as an entity to represent themselves in critical times.
As an alumni, this is a place where I feel proud of; for it is a symbol of the students in CU has a deep tradition in playing an active role and standing firm on their own grounds. CU is a place not only to gain knowledge, it is also a nurture ground for social responsibilities.
