Xiamen University was founded in 192 1 by patriotic overseas Chinese Chen Jiageng. That year, he donated almost all his possessions, with an organization cost of 1 10,000 and a recurrent cost of 3 million! Thus, Xiamen University, the first university founded by overseas Chinese in China, was born. Xiamen University, which was founded at the beginning, was called by the national government as "sufficient funds, excellent achievements and perfect equipment, which are unparalleled in other places".
Later, due to the world economic crisis, Chen Jiageng was unable to continue to support Xiamen University, which was forced to be handed over to the government and became a national Xiamen University in July 1937.
