Taking CUHK’s Educational Philosophy Northward 19 As Prof. Xu Yangsheng has noted, CUHK has sown the seeds of its cherished educational ideals across the border in the fertile soil of Shenzhen. He believes that careful and expert cultivation will ensure the young campus’s steady growth in the years to come. Of the first batch of graduates from CUHK (SZ), those who have chosen to work received offers from major domestic and foreign companies such as the Bank of China (Hong Kong) , HSBC, PWC, Deloitte, Tencent, Huawei, Procter & Gamble, and L’Oréal. Some of them had even started their own businesses while still at school. Li Zhixuan and Yan Danyang , both from the School of Management and Economics, founded the student service platform ‘Leadygo’ and turned a profit. Upon their graduation, they made a generous donation of RMB 1 million to their alma mater. It could well be a world record of the shortest time taken by alumni to give back to a school. Those who chose to continue their studies were favoured by world-renowned institutions overseas and locally, each receiving on average three admission offers. Tian Langyi , a graduate of double majors in global business studies and finance, received 11 offers from institutions in, among others, the UK, the US, France and Hong Kong. He chose to study quantitative methods in social sciences at Columbia University. What CUHK (SZ) has achieved today has proved the universality and tenacity of CUHK’s vision and legacy. By C.F.
