HARBIN, China, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Recently, The Stargazers , a large-scale panoramic drama produced after three years of creation by Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), staged three consecutive performances in Harbin, striking a chord with the public with the spirit of educators and scientists. Professional actors and university teachers and students shared the stage, bringing to life stories of scientists and educators who rooted themselves in Northeast China, educated students, and strove to achieve breakthroughs in scientific research.

These figures share a common name - HIT "800 Faculty Pillars". In the 1950s, more than 800 young teachers and students converged on Harbin Institute of Technology from all over China. This teaching team, with an average age of merely 27.5, undertook discipline-building and teaching tasks, cultivating urgently-needed talent for New China’s industrialization efforts.
