Item Information

Title:
WBUR Oral History Project: Minhui Zheng. Clip 4
Description:
Countless lives were affected by the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and their aftermath. The WBUR Oral History Project collects stories from individuals whose lives were immediately and irrevocably changed by these events. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of WBUR, our team of oral historians, and the participation of these interview subjects, Our Marathon has tried to ensure that these stories are not forgotten. We believe that these stories matter, and that they demonstrate the ways historical events transform the lives of the people who lived through them. Oral historians Jayne K. Guberman, Ph.D., and Joanna Shea O'Brien conducted the interviews for this project. Oral History Project Manager Kristi Girdharry, Our Marathon Project Co-Director Jim McGrath, and Community Outreach Lead Joanne DeCaro recorded the interviews and provided research assistance and post-interview processing. McGrath and Our Marathon Audio Technician Ryan McDonough provided sound editing and processing for all of the interviews and clips. The opinions and statements expressed in interviews and related content featured in the WBUR Oral History Project do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Our Marathon, WBUR, Northeastern University, or any employees or volunteers affiliated with these institutions and projects. Our Marathon and The WBUR Oral History project make no assertions about the veracity of statements made by participants in this project. Minhui Zheng is a graduate student from China who recently completed her Master's Degree in Statistics at Boston University. She was a very close friend of Lingzi Lu, who died as a result of the Boston Marathon bombing in April of 2013. Minhui describes her friendship with Lingzi, what it is like to be a foreign student in Boston, and how she and others coped with the tragic death of their friend, as well as the legacy that Lingzi Lu left behind for her personally and for the BU community. In this clip, Minhui reflects on what Lingzi's life meant, and how she will continue to keep her life alive.
