Features: The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is the first university in the history of Chinese education that is entirely founded by "returning overseas students" of Chinese descent. In just a decade, it has achieved remarkable accomplishments that can be hailed as a major miracle in the history of both Chinese and international education! This book is a historical record of the author's involvement in the creation of HKUST. From the historical opportunities of establishing the university, the philosophy behind its creation, to the author's work experiences and emotional journey over the ten years, the book provides detailed accounts. Readers can not only learn about the reasons behind a newly established university achieving great success in just a decade, understand the outstanding contributions of a group of educational elites to HKUST and Chinese education, but also gain insights into the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, happiness and grief they experienced during the university's founding process.
