Alumni Donated Anti-Epidemic Materials to College of Management and Economics

　　Hong-mei Shi, EMBA alumna, General Manager of Zhongpu Culture Communication (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., donated one infrared temperature measuring door, 2,000 bottles of 84 disinfectant, and 1,000 masks to College of Management and Economics (CoME). Shi did her utmost to help CoME to meet the material requirements for resumption of work, which fully demonstrates the entrepreneurial awareness of the new era.

　　Shi actively responded to the call of EMBA Alumni Association and donated 2,000 yuan to the Hubei epidemic area, 2,000 yuan to the EMBA International Alliance platform, and more than 3,000 masks to international students from more than 10 countries around the world. Meanwhile, she gave alumni and nearly 200 friends a free anti-epidemic package containing masks, disinfectants, tea, etc. with a total value of 100,000 yuan, and offered huge discounts to the medical staff who consumed in her store.

　　Originally, Shi had an enviable job as a senior executive in the marketing department of a state-owned enterprise. Ten years of work experience made her proficient in market business with superb execution and keen market insight. In 2016, she resolutely chose to study EMBA in Tianjin University where she was exposed to deep theoretical knowledge and felt the vigor of entrepreneurs from her classmates, then the idea of entrepreneurship gradually emerged in her mind. Shi’s hometown is located in Fengyu Town, Yunnan Province, so she is determined to share the tea culture in her hometown with more people, and finally successfully created her brand.

　　Shi has been away from home for nearly 20 years, but she cares for the children in her hometown all the time. Under the auspices of Shi, teachers, students, and alumni of CoME have gone to Fengyu Town, Yunnan Province to support teaching for six years. With the help of alumni, many students of CoME gave up their summer vacation and recreation to devote themselves to the volunteer teaching. They brought knowledge to the children that cannot be learned locally, such as art, music, calligraphy, and dance, which brought the children to the colorful world outside, inspired their longing for the future, and their desire for academics. The alumni also sponsored the children to visit Tianjin University on the spot. For the first time in life, these children walked out of the mountains, visited China's first modern university, and they were shocked by the experience. They are adhering to the yearning for institutions of higher learning and learning to persist no matter how hard life is.

　　Shi is not only an advocate and executor of public welfare but also a communicator. It is worth mentioning that she attracted the attention of excellent companies such as China Communications Construction and R & F Group by actual actions and personality charm. She called on a group of compassionate entrepreneurs to help invest in the public welfare. People with spiritual pursuits and strength will unite together and burst out infinite strength. Besides, their kindness will also radiate to places such as Honghe in Yunnan, they eagerly hope to help more children in poor areas to realize their dreams.
