Though a Buyi girl raised among Han people, she has, from very young,
kept a keen interest in the culture of her own minority--Buyi People.
Though greatly influenced by Han culture, there are still a lot of
minority customs are kept back in her hometown. Thus, Buyi culture and
all other culture of minorities in her province always exert great
appeals to her. During the past three and a half years in Peking
University, Huang chongfeng has joined a lot of activities organized by
PKU associations on the publicity and preservation of minority culture,
such as a social practice on Miao culture this summer vacation. Thanks
to YAPM which keeps an intense interest in minority culture, she is in
the hope that this international cooperation between Tsinghua University
and Peking University will achieve fruitful results.
Jingqian Li£¨Lisa£©£¬
I come from Peking University, and my major is finance. I take part in
this team because I am immersed in minority culture and education and
the most important reason is I¡¯m also one of Dong minority (a Chinese

in this group who devotes heart and soul to it. I believe we will do
more in the future.
