Zhang Wenzhong said in his speech that the alumni and entrepreneurs of Nankai and WHU are closely related to each other for a long time. Wuhan University is a very lofty place in my mind.

In history, there have been a large number of brilliant masters. Today, a group of outstanding alumni are also role models around us.

Thanks to Chen Dongsheng's support for Nankai University, this donation will continue to focus on the discipline of economic management, and carry out cooperation in entrepreneur research, training young entrepreneurs and academic exchanges, so as to promote the common progress of WHUand Nankai two famous universities in the field of economic management.
