Features: "Among the beautiful sceneries of China, Xiamen stands out; among the landscapes of Xiamen, Xiamen University is the most renowned." As a foreign tourist visiting China once exclaimed. On behalf of Xiamen University, a family gathering place for friends from all over the world, I warmly welcome you to one of the most beautiful and international universities in China—Xiamen University. Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, a patriotic overseas Chinese leader hailed by Chairman Mao Zedong as "the Banner of the Overseas Chinese and the Light of the Nation." From its very beginning, our university has been guided by the motto "Perseverance and Self-Strengthening, Striving for Excellence," inspiring generations of Xiamen University students to overcome numerous challenges and achieve great success. Over the past 85 years, the relentless efforts and dedicated cultivation of the Xiamen University community have earned it the well-deserved reputation of "The Strongest in the South" and high acclaim both domestically and internationally.
