With the patriotic enthusiasm of "serving the motherland and benefiting the mulberry", Li Ka-shing donated 600 million Hong Kong dollars to establish Shantou University, which has done a practical thing for the people of the motherland and hometown to benefit future generations.

Chaoshan area with a long history is full of talents. However, in this land of 65438+10,000 square kilometers, there are more than 9 million people, but there is no university. As early as 1940s, chaozhou people called for raising funds to run universities. At that time, Chen Jiageng also agreed with this idea very much, and wrote an article about Chaoda. In the article, he said: "Unfortunately, there is no university in Chaozhou so far." "Although isolated in southern Xinjiang, it is very convenient to communicate with Southeast Asia. Chaozhou founded a university ... not only in China, but also in Southeast Asia in the future. "

Chen Jiageng's wish was finally realized by Li Ka-shing.
