Celebration of 30 years graduation

April 18, 2018

Introduction


It is the reunion to celebrate the birth of Shanghai Jiaotong university 122 years, and also we met in Shanghai to celebrate 30 years since we graduated together back in 1988 with mathematics degree, we stayed together from 1984 to 1988, and took all courses together. For my case, I stayed with other six girls in the same dorm, and we discussed so many math problems together, and we went out together for so many activities.

One thing I like to do is related to my experience to the current China highly developed as a country and also open to new entrepreneurship. What I like to do is to relate my class 70141 to one of top celebrity in Forbes 2018, therefore it is very easy to make connection to the whole world, how education helps people to grow, nurture future leaders and motivate each other to work hard.

I sat in the front row, and rest of my class was in the classroom, including the third row Shen Neil, a billionaire and a Yale graduate. Great thanks to the math professor Xiang Longwan, our instructor of mathematics course took the picture and shared with us after 30 years, on April 14, 2018. My favorite reading of professor Xiang is here, who wrote the recommendation letter for my Florida Atlantic University mathematics Ph.D. program back in 1996.


My favorite reading from Shen Neil is here.

Shen Neil - Shanghai Jiaotong university alumni

Nov. 5, 2017

Introduction


It is so interesting to be an alumni of Shanghai Jiaotong University, China. I went back to have a vacation this October, I had to meet classmates of undergraduate 70141 and also graduate class 8902.

My undergraduate class is named as 70141, and my graduate class is names as 8902.  I had chance to meet some of my classmates and I had chance to follow more on wechat about their stories. One of 8902 classmate posted the blog about Shen Neil who is my undergraduate classmate of 70141, of course, he is no longer the first degree of my friend circle. My close friend's circle is engineers and teachers of alumni of 70141 and 8902 classes.

Here is the article written in Chinese for me to study in 20 minutes tonight. Chinese sentences are written like this: Four year Shen Neil makes 2 billion dollars, but he invested 50 billion first, in 11 years make 2600 billion dollars.

" 投资教父"沈南鹏,4年赚到20亿还嫌不过瘾,他一举砸下500亿 , 11年创下2.6万亿奇迹!

His partner of Sequoia: Michael Moritz


52 minutes interview called Sequoia's Neil Shen to Entrepreneurs: "Follow Your Heart", the video link is here published by Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Several arguments to look into from the article:

Arguments:

不过天才就是天才,在十几次面试的过程中,沈南鹏就摸到了门道。

此后不到两个星期,他就把江恩理论、5个波浪循环、MBS、CDO、中国国债、布伦特原油报价等问题搞透了。

Facts:

就在另外两个人绞尽脑汁在纸上比划的时候,沈南鹏不到5分钟已经给出了答案。

原来不太懂中国的商业环境,到了1999年,我已经比较‘土鳖’了
