my life". These words were said by Gao Ming after the sending <strong>of</strong>f ceremony, who<br />

was just permitted to enroll in the army.<br />

Yingjie Communication Centre <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong>. Undergraduate student Gao Ming from<br />

Guang Hua School <strong>of</strong> Management got the approval to enroll in the army, making<br />

himself the first such one at <strong>PKU</strong>.<br />

Forces, read the enrollment announcement and approval letter <strong>of</strong> Gao Ming. Vice<br />
