Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1270 Jinan University
On January 1, less than a month before the Spring Festival in 20, Duan Yun and Qin Wenjun came to Jinan University in Guangzhou.

Jinan University is China's first overseas Chinese institution of higher learning established by the state. It was jointly established by the Ministry of Education and the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of Guangdong Province. It was the most prestigious institution of higher learning in Guangzhou at that time, and it was also a first-class key university in China.

Compared with Shenzhen University, which Duan Yun sponsored before, Jinan University has a larger scale and higher reputation. As early as 1981, it became the first batch of units with the right to grant bachelor's degrees.

Moreover, Jinan University has a characteristic, that is, this school mainly recruits the children of overseas Chinese.

In October 1978, the State Council reapproved the Ministry of Education and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council's "Request for Instructions on Restoring Jinan University and Overseas Chinese University". At the same time, a small number of domestic students should be recruited (mainly the children of returned overseas Chinese and relatives of overseas Chinese)", and it also specifically stipulated that the policy of "freedom to come and go" should be implemented for overseas Chinese students from Hong Kong and Macao.

It is precisely because of the introduction of this policy that by 1988, the children of overseas Chinese had accounted for 90% of the number of students in Jinan University.

In the past few years during the tenure of President Liang Lingguang, Jinan University has adopted the practice of adapting to the actual situation of overseas Hong Kong and Macao, and expanded its enrollment. In 1980 and 1983, more than 1984 foreign candidates applied for Jinan University. By 1985, 1986% of the total number of overseas Chinese students were in Jinan University, making it the veritable highest institution for overseas Chinese.

Therefore, compared with ordinary university students, many overseas Chinese children here have lived in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreign countries since childhood, and many of their parents are overseas Chinese who do business in the mainland or return to China. To a certain extent, Jinan University It is an international university with strong external attributes, and it is a school founded by the country to expand its international influence.

Due to the relatively strong openness of this school, the whole campus has a free and different school spirit, and many students have different ideologies from domestic students.

In addition, the faculty of this university is also very strong, and some international scientific research technology exchange seminars are often held. Compared with the education model of domestic ordinary colleges and universities, students here can receive more advanced theoretical education and ideas.

Knowing that Duan Yun and Qin Wenjun came to visit Jinan University, they were received by Vice President Zhou Yaoming.

The current president of Jinan University is Liang Lingguang, who seldom comes to the school, so Zhou Yaoming, the vice president of Jinan University, is in charge of the usual school affairs management.

"Hello, Secretary Qin, hello, President Duan!" Seeing Duan Yun and Qin Wenjun get off the car, Zhou Yaoming, who had been waiting for the door, immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

If Duan Yun came here before he became the vice president of the chamber of commerce, Zhou Yaoming would definitely not have greeted him so warmly, but now it is different. Duan Yun is not only a well-known entrepreneur, but also a semi-official vice president of the chamber of commerce. , Jinan University naturally dare not neglect, let alone Qin Wenjun, the deputy secretary of the SZ Municipal Party Committee.

"Hello, Principal Zhou!" Duan Yun immediately greeted Zhou Yaoming with a smile on his face, and at the same time stretched out two hands to hold him together.

"Come and sit in my office!" Zhou Yaoming quickly invited Duan Yun and Qin Wenjun into the campus.

At this time, the campus of Jinan University seemed very deserted, because the students had already gone home last week, except for some janitors and students whose families stayed far away for the New Year, there were not many people on the campus.

Walking along the main road of the campus, they soon came to the office building of Jinan University, and Zhou Mingyao's office was located on the third floor of this office building.

"Drink tea." After entering the office, Zhou Mingyao immediately poured tea for Duan Yun and Qin Wenjun, and said with a smile on his face: "I really didn't expect you to come to the school at that time, and now there is no one in the school, I said earlier If it is Yue, I can organize a welcome ceremony for teachers and students..."

"Principal Zhou, you are too polite. There is no need for any welcome ceremony. My visit this time is just an ordinary work visit." Qin Wenjun also said with a smile on his face.

"Speaking of which, our Guangzhou Jinan University often organized a group to visit your Shenzhen before, and your SZ government attached great importance to it and provided us with a lot of convenience. As the school leaders, we are also very grateful for this." Zhou Yaoming paused. Dun, then said: "SZ City is the window of our country's reform and opening up. The students of our school have always paid close attention to the development of your Shenzhen in recent years. At the end of last year, our school specially organized a Shenzhen The development prospect seminar, when you Mayor Li was invited to participate in this seminar, you introduced the current situation of Shenzhen’s development to us teachers and students, and the speech was very inspiring.”

"This is what it should be. You Jinan University is a university for the children of overseas Chinese. Over the years, many patriotic overseas Chinese have provided us with a lot of funds and help for the construction of Shenzhen, and have contributed a lot to the development of Shenzhen. Our city of SZ is also obliged to let These overseas Chinese children introduced the current development of the special zone, allowing them to establish a sense of responsibility and pride for the motherland." Qin Wenjun said.

"You're so polite..." Zhou Yaoming turned his attention to Duan Yun at this moment, and said, "I've heard of President Duan's name a long time ago. Congratulations on becoming the vice president of the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce for Small and Medium Enterprises. It is a very remarkable thing that private enterprises can develop to the greatest scale and achievements. Regarding your deeds, many teachers and students, including me, feel very admirable. I am also very happy to see you today. pleasure."

"I am very honored to meet President Zhou today." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "Jinan University is the earliest university established in our country. It has a history and heritage, and it will definitely become a world-class famous school in the future. , is the pride of our Chinese education circle, and it is a lifetime honor to be able to visit the school today and meet with Principal Zhou."

Because the two parties met for the first time, both sides spoke very politely. Generally speaking, after Duan Yun became the vice president of the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce for Small and Medium Enterprises, his fame and status have indeed improved. Zhou Yaoming also expressed his gratitude to him. Show enough respect.
