The business environment has been greatly improved. More importantly, I have full confidence in the students of Xiamen University.

The century -old Xiamen University has a deep cultural heritage. To some extent, she is called "Xiamen University" because Xiamen is her mother's city. For Xiamen University students, Xiamen University is its alma mater, Xiamen is the second hometown, and it is the starting point for them to move forward and dream. Centennial Xiamen University has trained 400,000 alumni, which has the strategic height and international structure of global vision. They have personally experienced the development and revitalization of the country and Xiamen in the past forty years. Centennial Xiamen University has cultivated outstanding students with high quality and abilities. A considerable part of them are outstanding in various fields, and practice every process of entrepreneurship. The spiritual kernel of Centennial Xiamen University forged the unique temperament of "understanding and being responsible".

The above reasons, that is, what we usually say, have the emotions and conditions of "because of you, fall in love with a city". So I proposed that our corporate elite alumni were invited home to do something for their alma mater and Xiamen.

Wake up the emotional connection of alumni to "Mother City"

Question: What are the aspects of the alumni economy must be effective and long -term, do you think can you start from?

It can be seen from the practical feedback of Xiamen University alumni investment promotion work that gratitude cultural character is not only the inherent energy of alumni alma mater and society, but also provided strong support for the alumni economy. Therefore, in the future of the alumni economic work, it can further increase publicity, focus on empathy, and wake up the emotional connections of the alumni of various schools to Xiamen's "mother city".

In addition, the future economic development of alumni also needs to continue to build a better business environment, improve relevant supporting mechanisms, and formulate more targeted policies to allow the alumni projects of each school to attract, end, and keep it. Really give play to the role of "power sources" and "talent pool" in the process of urban construction and development.
