Alibaba Business School of Hangzhou Normal University was established in 2008 with the direct support of Ma Yun, an alumnus of Hangzhou Normal University and chairman of Alibaba's board of directors. It was the centenary of Hangzhou Normal University. Ma Yun, who was on a business trip abroad, made a special trip back to attend the event, and thus co-founded Alibaba Business School. ?

Ma Yun's gratitude and feedback to his alma mater has lasted for ten years. At the signing ceremony, Ma Yun was awarded the honor of "Outstanding Alumni of Hangzhou Normal University" by his alma mater.

As early as the beginning of 2006, Ma Yun, whose career was just beginning, quietly donated 1 10,000 yuan to start the "China New Rural Teachers' Professional Development Plan, Hangzhou Normal University" to train rural backbone teachers free of charge and help them become "New Tao Xingzhi" in the new era and new countryside. ?

In 20 15, on the occasion of the celebration of Hangzhou Normal University 17, Ma Yun personally donated 10 billion yuan to set up "Hangzhou Normal University Ma Yun Education Fund" to fund educational research and innovation, explore the development direction of normal education and basic education in China, and set a model for normal education. This is the largest single donation received by Hangzhou Normal University so far. ?

In addition to all kinds of financial and resource support, Ma Yun has always won the reputation of "the best university in my heart" for himself on various occasions.
