Jinan University (JNU) is known as a "hub for Macao talents". With the largest number of Macao students among universities in the Chinese Mainland, JNU has over 30,000 alumni in Macao-a SAR of over 600,000 people-spanning sectors like healthcare, media, and finance. In Macao's public healthcare system alone, JNU alumni are about 480, accounting for nearly 70%. In the financial sector, the alumni make up nearly 300 employees at the Bank of China, Macao's largest financial institution. In 2021, seven of the 33 legislators elected in the seventh Legislative Assembly of the Macao SAR are JNU alumni.

JNU reopened in Guangzhou in 1978, establishing a medical school, the first of its kind founded by a university covering comprehensive disciplines in China. At the time, modern medical education in Macao was still developing, prompting many Macao residents to study medicine on the Chinese mainland. Ho Son Fat, now head of the urology department at Conde S. Januário Hospital (CHCSJ), was among the students who enrolled in JNU medical school in 1983. "Back then, more than 20 of my classmates from Macao came to JNU for its reputation. We've grown into a significant group in Macao, serving as the backbone of the medical field," said Ho with a smile. "During my time at JNU, I not only built a solid academic foundation but also found my love-both my wife and sister-in-law are JNU alumni from Macao."

In the media sector, about 70% of the staff in the interview department of Macao's largest newspaper, Macao Daily News, are JNU alumni. One notable example is Choi Chi Tou, the chief editor of Macao Daily News and secretary-general of the Macao Journalists Association (AJM). Choi has witnessed historic events such as the return of Hong Kong and Macao to China. Choi remains dedicated to narrating the development of the "one country, two systems" framework and telling compelling stories about China, the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), and Macao.

JNU is also a pioneer in higher education reform for overseas Chinese and a hub for cultivating innovative and entrepreneurial talent in the GBA. Recognized as a model university for innovation and entrepreneurship, it fosters a free and inclusive academic environment that encourages creativity. Ho Son Fat received the "Fok Ying Tung Award for Outstanding Chinese Physicians in the World" for his contributions to medical innovation, while alumna Lei Wai Yan benefited from creative teaching to win the "Galaxy Award."

There are numerous Macao associations at JNU, where Macao alumni play a key role in many of them. They also founded the alumni association to promote local prosperity. For example, after Typhoon Hato, alumni established a volunteer team that served over 7,000 elderly residents and distributed medicine worth more than 500,000 patacas. The JNU Macao Students' Union, established in 1995, has helped students adapt to life in the Chinese Mainland and recently launched training programs to enhance students' overall abilities. Through such efforts, JNU continues to inject vitality into Macao's development, fostering a large number of outstanding talents.

每6个澳门家庭就有1名暨大人——澳门发展中的暨大力量

暨南大学素有“澳门人才库”之称,在校澳门学生数居内地高校之首,总人口60余万的澳门,有3万多暨大校友,遍布医疗、传媒、金融等行业。在澳门的公立医疗系统,暨大校友有约480人,占近70%。在金融界,澳门最大的金融机构中国银行有近300名暨大校友。2021年,澳门特区第七届立法会选举,产生的33名议员中有7名暨大校友。

1978年,暨大在广州复办并创办了医学院。这是中国第一所由综合性大学创办的医学院。当时,澳门的现代医学教育尚未发展成熟,不少澳门人选择来到内地学医,现任仁伯爵综合医院泌尿外科主任何舜发便在1983年考上暨大医学院。“当时我们班就有20多名澳门同学慕名而来。如今在澳门早已是一个庞大的群体,成为医疗界的主流。”何舜发笑言,“我在暨大不但扎稳了学业基础,还收获了爱情,我的太太、小姨子都是暨大澳门校友。”

在传媒界,澳门最大的报馆《澳门日报》的采访部,有70%人员是暨大校友,《澳门日报》总编辑、澳门新闻工作者协会秘书长崔志涛是其中代表。他见证港澳回归等重大事件,努力做好新闻传播工作,用心记录“一国两制”伟大方针如何落地发展,讲好中国故事、大湾区故事、澳门故事。

暨大还是华侨高教改革开拓者、大湾区创新创业人才摇篮,入选多项创新创业示范高校。其学术氛围自由包容、鼓励创新,何舜发借此对传统医疗方法加以创新,获“世界杰出华人医师霍英东奖”;校友李卉茵受益于创意教学,获“群星奖”。

澳门社团众多,暨大澳门校友是诸多社团骨干,还发起校友会推动当地繁荣,如“天鸽”台风后成立义工队,服务超7000名长者,送出50多万澳门元药品。1995年成立的澳门学生联合会,帮澳生融入内地生活,近年开设的培育班提升学生综合素质。暨大凭诸多努力,持续为澳门发展注入动力,培育大批栋梁之材。
