In March 2007, there were many posts on the BBS of Wuhan University about Zhao Lin leaving Wuhan University for Xiamen University. Many students in Wuhan University even think that leaving such a good teacher is the loss of Wuhan University's personality, and many people have also raised the issue of brain drain. Xiamen University, on the other hand, kept a low profile on this matter. If Zhao Lin comes to Xiamen University, he will be the second person to come to Xiamen University after Yi Zhongtian.
On April 5th, an email sent by Zhao Lin to students was published in Luojia Mountain Water. The email said: "I really want to go to Xiamen University. As for the reason, I will openly confess to my classmates before I leave. "
In mid-May, 2007, relevant departments of Xiamen University confirmed that Xiamen University hired Zhao Lin as a professor, and relevant procedures had been sent to Wuda University.
Gu He's conversation lasted until the early hours of the morning. Gu said that after a pleasant conversation, Zhao Lin said happily, "I'm not leaving!" Zhao Lin said that only if he doesn't leave, he won't have any worries, and he will be worthy of his school and classmates, which will also be beneficial to his future development.
