Nanjing University alumni crowdfunding "8 Cafe"

There is an 8-house cafe in Shanghai, which is named after the 8-house dormitory for girls in the Drum Tower Campus of Nanjing University. This is this year's Nanjing University Shanghai Alumni Association President Zhao Pu launched a call for nearly 200 Nanjing University alumni crowdfunded birth of the eight-house cafe. In Zhao Pu's words, about half of the 300,000 alumni of Nanjing University know it. "for alumni who are far away from home, we have grafted the online conference model. Starting from October and starting at 8pm every Saturday, alumni can simultaneously watch the live broadcast of eight cups of coffee online." What makes many alumni sad is that the singers singing in the "eight houses cafe" are all campus singers, some have graduated for many years, some are going to school, and they are all "campus idols".

Alumni crowdfunded 8-house cafe because of "eight-room complex"

8 sheds are the impressions of the youth of the adults of Nan in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, in the old campus of Nanjing University in the Drum Tower of Nanjing, the largest dormitory for girls was 8 houses, which was called "3000 Beauty House" by seniors. There lived batch after batch of "goddesses". The once youthful boys of Nanjing University all yearn for the eight houses and hope to become the other half of someone in the eight houses. I have heard that at the farewell party before graduation, many boys will unanimously declare that their dream is to live in a higher commercial building opposite the eighth house and stare at the girls they loved every day.

At that time, they were foolishly waiting for their beloved girl downstairs, but now some of them are business tycoons and some company bosses, looking back on the past, the kind of unforgettable sweet and sour feeling, perhaps like the aroma of a cup of coffee, and that bitter aftertaste, lingering in the bottom of my heart. What is hard to give up is far more than pure campus love. In my memory, I will not forget the brothers who sleep in the upper bunk, the songs hummed in the bathhouse, the self-study with a smile at each other in the library, and the surprise attack for the exam for the paper all night. Once again standing at the intersection of time, I will recall the beauty and tenderness of those who have passed. So after Zhao Pu launched the "8-house cafe" crowdfunding plan, it received a lot of response from alumni.
