Xi Jinping Hails Fudan University’s 120-Year Legacy

Chinese President Xi Jinping praised Shanghai's Fudan University as \"a cradle of talent and beacon of innovation\" in a congratulatory letter marking its 120th founding anniversary on Monday. The prestigious institution, renowned for producing Nobel laureates and tech pioneers, stands as one of China's oldest and most influential centers of higher learning.

In his message, Xi emphasized the university's critical role in advancing China's education strategy, stating: \"Education is the cornerstone of national rejuvenation.\" He urged Fudan to continue cultivating \"new-era innovators\" capable of addressing global challenges through scientific breakthroughs.

Founded in 1905 as Fudan Public School, the university has evolved into a comprehensive research institution with 34 schools and 94 undergraduate programs. Its alumni network includes prominent figures in politics, business, and academia across Asia.

The anniversary comes as China intensifies efforts to develop world-class universities under its \"Double First-Class\" initiative. Fudan's recent achievements in artificial intelligence research and cross-border academic partnerships with institutions in 43 countries and regions position it at the forefront of this national push.
