16.A Chinese graduate's record-setting﹩8,888,888donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus,while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale's new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs,as well as fund(资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
Some asked why Zhang Lei,who graduated from Yale less than 10years ago,chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University,his alma mater (母校),for the donation.But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang's move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
"We should look at this news from an international standpoint,"said Chi Fulin,professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform.Chi said although Yale gets the money,the donation will also benefit China.
"It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs,and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges."He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors,and Zhang's move should be regarded with"respect,understanding and encouragement".
In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US,a larger part of financial aid comes from non-government organizations."China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future,"he said.
Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving."Yale has been helping China for more than 100years.he said,"Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale.But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
Zhang,who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002,worked for the Yale Investments Office.In 2005,Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd,a Beijing-based investment fund that manages﹩2.5billion.
