My university, is the sea

103 years ago, when Mr. Chen Jiageng, a patriotic overseas Chinese, founded Xiamen University, he once said: I want foreign ships coming and going to Xiamen Port to be able to see a spectacular university at a glance from the sea. 98 years ago, when Mr. Lu Xun came to teach at Xiamen University, he mentioned in a letter to Xu Guangping: The sea is in front, and Gulangyu is opposite. 75 years ago, during the few months when the "homesick poet" Yu Guangzhong studied at Xiamen University, he rode his bicycle back and forth on the sandy road by the sea, "just a little bit short of catching up with the seagulls". As the first university founded by overseas Chinese in the history of modern Chinese education, Xiamen University is known as "one of the most beautiful universities in China". Facing the sea and blooming in spring is the first impression of many people on Xiamen University. Embracing all rivers and heading towards the world are the key words to interpret the spiritual endowment and pattern of Xiamen University.
