After the Battle of Songhu, in order to avoid the devastation of Zhejiang University, President Zhu Kezhen led teachers and students to begin to move west. In the war-torn era, Zhu Kezhen still called on teachers and students to shine and live up to their homeland.

Zhu Kezhen pays attention to leading teachers and students to serve the local area. At that time, Zhejiang University was relocated to the Taihe area of Jiangxi, and the school was built along the Ganjiang River. The Ganjiang River often floods and poses a serious threat to the lives of the local people. In order to serve the people of Taihe and to protect the safety of Zhejiang University, President Zhu Kezhen organized teachers and students of the Department of Civil Engineering to build a 15-mile flood control embankment for the area. Zhu Kezhen also discussed the issue of land reclamation with the governor of Taihe County, and finally reclaimed 600 mu of land in the long-abandoned shacun, solving the problem of resettlement of the victims.

Zhu Kezhen also organized teachers and students to set up a fire brigade to ensure the fire safety of the school and the local area. Because in times of war, grenades, guns, etc. may cause bloody tragedies somewhere at any time. Zhu Kezhen encouraged teachers and students to enthusiastically sign up and take on heavy responsibilities. At the same time, Zhu Kezhen also guided teachers and students to serve the front line of the War of Resistance. Zhejiang masters and students gave full play to their own advantages and created many dramatic works to unite people's hearts and boost morale for the War of Resistance. On the other hand, Zhejiang masters and students also played a role in rescue and liaison. Zhu Kezhen also organized teachers and students to comfort our troops in transit and sent many daily necessities to the soldiers. At the same time, Zhu Kezhen also organized teachers and students to donate money to help our troops improve their food and housing conditions.

Although Zhejiang masters and students are literati, while studying hard and preserving the cultural fire, they also do their best to serve the War of Resistance and dedicate themselves to the locality.
