Hi, Yidao:
In the posted message about Dean Fan Minwen's visit, I got the wrong
information about the positions and titles of some delegate members. Dr. Bian
Zhuan's email corrected them. Accordingly, I corrected them in the revised
text. Please replace the posted message with the following corrected version.
Sorry for the inconvenience this correction causes.

Thanks.

Welcome Dinner for the delegate led by Dean Fan Mingwen

At 8pm on April 6, 2000, outside the Dongdu Restaurant on the outskirts of
Washington DC, Spring breeze caressed one's face, and the land was enveloped
in a quiet curtain of darkness. Inside the Restaurant, jubilant twelve sitting
around the long table just turned night into daytime. They were happily
gathering under the same roof. It was the event that several representatives
of Hubei Medical University Overseas Alumni Association were entertaining the
delegate led by Dean and Professor Fan Mingwen and Vice Dean and Professor
Bian Zhuan, College and Hospital of Stomatology, Hubei Medical University,
Wuhan, China. The other members of the Delegate included Dr.Long Xin,
Associate Professor and Associate Chairman in The Dept. of Oral Surgery, Dr.
Chen Zhi, Associate Professor and Chief in The Dept. of Dental Research, Dr.
Zhang Ping, Associate Professor and Associate Chairman in The Dept. of
Endodontics, and Dr. Guoqiang Wei, the former Director of Oral Research
Institute and the current visiting Scholar in University of Illinois at
Chicago. The Alumni representatives from Washington-Baltimore area were Drs
Zhi-Ming Zheng, Huaxian Chen, Shen Zhong, Ke Ren, Jiancheng Tu and Shui Qing
Ye .
Dr. Shui Qing Ye, current president of the Alumni Association, first delivered
a brief greeting address to welcome the delegate to attend the meeting of
International Association of Dental Research (IADR) and to visit Washington
D.C., and to inform the delegate the aims of the Alumni Association to
facilitate the communication among the alumni, to serve as a bridge between
the alumni and the Alma Mater, to help promoting the development of our Alma
Mater.
Then Dean Fan Mingwen, who himself had studied in Canada for two and half
year, and later another half year in France, told his personal crusade to lead
the College and Hospital of Stomatology to the national front with respect to
the Stomatological education, research and treatment and usher her to catch up
with the international trends in the field of Stomatology in the future. A
genial remark by Dean Fan Mingwen's successor apparent, Vice Dean Bian Zhuan,
ensued. Drs. Chen Zhi and Long Xin gave an outline of past, present and future
of the College and Hospital of Stomatology via power-point presentation. One
of the highlights was that last year, they successfully hosted The
International Symposium on Stomatology Facing the Challenge of 21st Century in
Wuhan. This time from April 3 to 9, 2000 in Washington D.C., Professors Fan
and Bian have cohosted the prestigious meeting of International Association of
Dental Research (IADR) and all other accompanying members have given oral
presentations in the meeting. The attended alumni were very proud of and
deeply impressed with the progress of the College and Hospital of Stomatology.
We are all appreciative to Dean Fan Mingwen for his intelligence, wisdom,
leadership and stalwart driving force behind the magnificent development in
The College of Stomatology for our Alma Mater. Prof. Fan also dropped an
anecdote of how he pushed a unification between Hubei Medical University and
Wuhan University three years ago by talking to the Governor in Hubei province.
Dr. Fan's effort may be realized soon. Dr. Zhi-Ming Zheng, a former Director
of Virus Research Institute and current tenure-track investigator in NCI
applauded the action, so did Dr. Ke Ren, a former student in the College of
Stomatology and current associate professor in College of Stomatology,
University of Maryland. In fact, both of them on behalf of our alumni
association pushed the idea of the unification in various occasions when each
of them served as president for the alumni association. Dr. Jiancheng Tu,
President-elect for our overseas alumni association, and Dr. Huaxian Chen, a
researcher in NIH, mingled well with the delegate. The other delegate members,
Drs. Zhang Ping and Wei Quoqiang, also had their light moments in the party.
Dr. Shen Zhong, the former DDS in the College and Hospital of Stomatology and
now a computer guru in Stanley Foundation, initiated the activity. He is an
able councilman for the current alumni association. We are indebted to his
time and energy to communicate between the alumni and the delegate and service
to the delegate. We apologize for failing to inform everybody who may be
interested at this activity in advance owing to the uncertain and tight
schedule of the delegate.
Approaching 10 pm, the night was drawing deep, everybody in the party was
still in high spirit, but restaurant had to close. The delegate and the alumni
reluctantly shook the hands and left the spot. Every attendees concurred that
it was a wonderful evening and a fruitful gathering.
