In the afternoon of March 20, 2012 Tsinghua MBA Schoolmates Union’s council conference and the donation ceremony of schoolmate Mr. Wang Jiwu were held in the intoxicating warmth of Sunshine Hall of Tsinghua Technology Park. The dean of Tsinghua SEM as well as the director-general of MBA Schoolmates Union Mr. Qian Yingyi and secretary-general of Tsinghua Schoolmates Union Mr. Guo Liang attended the donation ceremony. More than 80 people including representatives of directors of Tsinghua MBA Schoolmates Union from various corners of the country, persons-in-charge of departments of Tsinghua Schoolmates Union, representatives of industry associations of all kinds, MBA schoolmates, students representatives and faculty of MBA Education Center participated in the donation ceremony to witness this passionate moment.

     Mr. Wang Jiwu, MBA schoolmate (1997) of Tsinghua SEM, deputy director-general of MBA Schoolmates Union and president of China Private Ventures Ltd., donated 1 million RMB this time for the restoration and operation of Tsinghua MBA Schoolmates Union. Mr. Long Dawei, deputy managing director of MBA Schoolmates Union and president of Chengzhi Shareholding Co., Ltd., hosted the donation ceremony. The director-general Mr. Qain Yingyi signed the donation agreement on behalf of MBA Schoolmates Union and rewarded Mr. Wang Jiwu with the donation certificate.

     Afterwards, Mr. Wang delivered a speech with much passion, saying that Tsinghua incorporated the most important period of his schooling education and Tsinghua SEM left him with precious wealth of knowledge and spirit in particular. He said he could never gain such achievements without the education in Tsinghua and the long-term support from the faculty and schoolmates. As far as he was concerned, apart from the atmosphere of campus and the education of mentors, Mr. Wang thought the most valuable richness that Tsinghua University left with every student was generations of talented schoolmates. Therefore, he was very delighted to pay back to Tsinghua and make contribution to Tsinghua schoolmate works, including the works of Tsinghua Schoolmates Union, MBA Schoolmates Union and MBA Schoolmates Council when he was capable.

    Schoolmates are the core resources and valuable wealth of Tsinghua University. The donation from schoolmates has become a significant factor for the promotion of Tsinghua’s development. Based on incomplete statistics, from 2007 to 2011, 166 classes of MBA schoolmates participated in collective donation and 853 schoolmates took part in individual donation. After the ceremony, Mr. Wang Jiwu accepted the interview of Tsinghua MBA students. He said it was in the ordeal and upsets that he saw through the reality, perfected himself, accomplished the transfer from cocoon to butterfly and finally found the most suitable development road. He hoped more schoolmates could contribute to the development of Tsinghua MBA education and the building of Schoolmates Union, using MBA as a high-level platform to extend the educational resources and the schoolmate resources in a broader and deeper sense to benefit a large group of schoolmates and to achieve a win-win result.
