Guo Li’s Tribute to Professor William P. Alford

Guo Li
Professor and Vice Dean of Peking University Law School

In the past decades, Prof. William P. Alford has proved himself as a prominent scholar, a visionary leader, and an amicable mentor and has helped Harvard Law School build up a true worldwide network with ever-increasing global impacts, from which the HILJ also benefits tremendously. There is a Chinese proverb to eulogize teachers: “Peaches and plums do not have to talk, yet the world beats a path to them.” As one of Prof. Alford’s students, I feel very proud to be on such a path, along with thousands of fellow schoolmates from almost every country and continent.
