On November 29, 2023, in the 130th anniversary year of Wuhan University, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, gave the university 1.3 billion yuan. He had entered its computer science department in 1987. “The journey of fulfilling a vow, which began with my first donation to my alma mater 26 years ago,” he said, “has today finally reached its wish.”
He added that every donation is an alumnus’s love for the alma mater, “and each one weighs the same.”
