After thousands of sails, cheerful and open-minded, laughing at life

Famous teachers, green areas, architectural life
When Mr. Liang Hongwen entered the Department of Architecture at Tsinghua University, Mr. Liang Sicheng served as the head of the department. Mr. Leung Si Shing is knowledgeable and humorous. In the second grade, Mr. Liang Sicheng also commented on mr. Liang's small residential design work. Mr. Liang Sicheng's architectural history courses, as well as hand-drawn and watercolor paintings, also had an indelible impact on mr. Liang's professional learning.
Mr. Liang Hongwen was with Mr. Wang Tan, Mr. Li Chengzuo and other teachers and students
In addition, both Mr. Wu Liangyong and Mr. Wang Tan had an important influence on the growth of Mr. Leung Hung Man. In particular, Mr. Wu Liangyong's attention to art education and his practice of diligent painting have directly helped Him and influenced his views on the interaction between cities and architecture, nature and humanities. Mr. Wang Tan is a disciple of Mr. Wright, a master of modern architecture in the world, and the first head of the Department of Architecture of Shenzhen University, and his exposition of Wright's organic architectural and educational views has profoundly influenced Mr. Wright's design practice.
Shenzhen University Campus Plan
During his time in the Department of Architecture at Tsinghua University, Mr. Liang Hongwen participated in the architectural design of the National Day Project, the Mianyang Branch of Tsinghua University, the Library of Peking University, and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. In 1983, under the leadership of Mr. Li Chengzuo, he participated in the campus planning and design of Shenzhen University. The design won the "Excellent Campus Planning and Design Award" issued by the China Education Commission. On this basis, Mr. Leung completed the design of the central square and the concert center. In the design, more attention is paid to the design concept of the integration of nature, planning, architecture and environmental decoration advocated by Wright, so as to "conform to nature, introduce nature into architecture, combine new technologies with local materials, and design decorative elements such as sculptures, murals, fountains, greenery, and water flow at the same time as the spatial modeling; make full use of natural ventilation and lighting, and strive for economic savings." The concert center has become a prominent representative of low-carbon and energy-saving green buildings and "here and now" regional works. The central plaza has also become a model of excellent campus space due to its conforming terrain and atmospheric wide space experience, which has been widely praised by the industry.

Enthusiastic and tolerant, virtuous, exemplary teacher
Mr. Leung is deeply respected and loved by teachers and students. Whether he worked at Tsinghua University or Shenzhen University, he devoted great enthusiasm to teaching. At the beginning of his career as an art teacher after graduating, mr. Li was able to quickly integrate into the teaching group, respect and care for his predecessors, enthusiastically help colleagues, and be strict and loving to students. When teaching the preliminary course of architecture at Tsinghua University, Mr. Li left the students with the introductory message of "no matter how good the article is, there is nothing else strange, just just right; being a very good person, nothing else, just the nature". All these have deeply influenced the way students govern and behave.
In 1983, when he participated in the campus planning and design of Shenzhen University, the conditions were extremely difficult. Mr. Liang took the lead in the hot sun, taking other teachers and interns from the Tsinghua Department of Architecture to investigate the site, make models, repeatedly deliberate on the plan, and then implement it step by step. When designing the concert center, due to insufficient funds, the cost was limited, in order to find suitable and cheap materials. He often takes the design team and the students involved in the design to the building materials market to repeatedly select the available materials. When you can't buy the right building components, you personally take the students to buy materials to make your own. The students not only learned solid professional knowledge with Mr. Liang, but also were subtly infected by Mr. Liang's fearless, optimistic and open-minded attitude.
Mr. Leung Hung Man worked with the students to create a model of the rainwater inlet sculpture in the concert center
From 1984 to 1985, during a visiting lecture at the University of Michigan in the United States, Mr. Liang presided over the watercolor workshop at the School of Arts of the university. The final student's comment to Mr. Liang read: "I have never met such a good teacher! "The performance of American students in learning happily in the classroom, asking questions and expressing opinions without restraint, and treating teachers as friends has given Mr. Liang great inspiration and encouragement, and even influenced Mr. Liang's architectural design teaching after his return to China." In the early days of the Department of Architecture at Shenzhen University, most of them were young teachers who had just graduated from the school, and there were not many older teachers like Mr. Liang. He encourages students to speak freely, dare to express their academic views, improve their design level in discussion with teachers, and create a relaxed and free academic atmosphere in the department. In the project design, he encourages students and young teachers to participate in the design together, discuss together, and actively adopt the suggestions as long as they are reasonable. In leisure time, teachers love to chat with Mr. Wang's project team, and they can often get some design inspiration in the conversation.

When Mr. Liang donated a book to the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Shenzhen University in 2018, she talked about her deep love for students and quoted a poem from the Indian poet Tagore's "Birds", which moved countless alumni:
I love three things in this world.
Sun, moon and you.
Sun for morning,
moon for night,
and you forever.
I love three,
Day, month, secretary.
The sun is the morning, the moon is the twilight,
And Qing, towards the twilight...
Sir is our respected teacher, a model for our work, life and study. She is always smiling, amiable, warm and friendly, infecting everyone around her. As she said in "Liang Hongwen Painting Collection 2": "Looking back on the past, whether it is setbacks or successes, it is the travel process of life, there is no failure or achievement to speak of, but do not forget the Tsinghua school motto of 'self-improvement, virtue and material' and the school spirit of 'hard work, deeds are better than words', and strive to do everything well, will help us to continuously overcome difficulties and make progress." Mr. Li once talked to everyone about a couplet of famous artists in the Qing Dynasty: "No rich color, no noble color, no learning color, fang is a scholar; there is a book sound, an organic sound, a child's voice, is a person" (meaning: no wealth, no magnate-like, no learned performance, but showing noble character; there is a reading sound, there is a textile sound, and there is a child laughing, which is a normal person). The gentleman said: "This is the plain and natural portrayal of life that I pursue. ”
His design works have won the Creation Award of the Architectural Society of China, the Excellence Award of Chinese Environmental Art Design, the First Prize of Excellent Educational Architecture of the Ministry of Education, the Second Prize of the Ministry of Construction, the Second Prize of Guangdong Province, and the First Prize of Shenzhen Survey and Design. She has trained many outstanding talents for the country, written a number of paintings, was named the "Top Ten Tsinghua People Who Moved Shenzhen" in the centenary celebration of Tsinghua University, and was awarded the titles of Outstanding Chief Architect of Shenzhen Survey and Design Industry and Expert with Outstanding Contributions for more than 35 years.
Mr. Treats people sincerely, optimistically, has both learning and ability, and has noble teacher morality, and is deeply respected and loved by teachers, students and colleagues. Her death is a loss to the world of architectural education and practice! Family, friends and family, faculty, students and alumni are deeply saddened!
Mr. Liang Hongwen has been around for eternity! All the way!
