当朱棣文在清华大学和天津大学做了关于能源和气候变化的演讲，清华大学是中国理工科的最高学府，朱棣文父母的母校。 朱棣文的爷爷曾任天津大学的校长。
When Chu gave speeches on energy and climate change at Tsinghua University, China’s most elite institution for science and engineering (where his parents had been students), and then at Tianjin University (where his grandfather was once President), he was received with enormous enthusiasm, overflow crowds, and standing ovations.
