Phys’89 Drivers

Huang, Xiaoming

Hi, buddies,

In this short report I just want to post some of my opinion about Phys’89 drivers.

I have ridden cars by some of 89 drivers. Among them, the most experienced (or appear to be) is Wang Jun. Great respect to him, and thanks for saving my life. When we were in Mount Washington, his brake didn’t work after we downhill from the summit. It was because he set the gear to neutral when going downhill, so he must use brake a lot. After a while, his wheel got overheated and didn’t work anymore. We waited some time for it to cool down. When we were about to go, I decided to sit in Jun’s car to accompany him to check out where we were going, the heaven, the hell or to see Marx. On the way, the leading car (by Lei Ming) led us to the reverse side for a short time to bypass a troubled car in our way. He did not even slow down a little bit. Both Jun and me did not notice that we were on the reverse side. So we headed on the coming car. Great great thanks to Wang Jun, he swerved our car suddenly back to our lane. Just within ONE SECOND. You know, he has an air bag in driver’s position but I don’t. So, strictly speaking, he just saved my life. Thanks to God, He let me still alive to write this stuff to entertain you (I hope so). Since I have sat his car for some times. I have to agree that he is the most experienced driver of 89 and the most dangerous one. The one who got drowned always can swim.

No.1 PHYS’89 Trip (Autumn, 1997)

Reported by Yu Zhang in Boston

As time passes by, something happened in the past will fade out gradually in our memory, but our trip to Mt. Washington and Maine sea shore is the one full of happiness and unexpected excitement which is not easy to be forgotten.

Early in late September, when our 7 Boston guys met in a spacious sunny lounge room in MIT’s Tong Hall and playing “TRACTORS” excitingly, Lei Ming and Tao Kao brought out this plan to see around the beautiful fall scenery of New England. As US new comers as I, Xiaofeng Liu (who is a super photo taken fan) and Miss Tian, we were all exited and applaused this good idea, and then the background labor works were undertaken by our kind hearted forerunners, Lei and Tao. Two weeks later, everything was ready and since Oct.13 (Monday), happens to be the Columbus’ day, that means we have a long weekend, it is ideal time to take this trip.
