On October 28th, the "Nanjing University Student Entrepreneurship Mentor - Taihu Science City Chief Consulting Expert" dual appointment program was held at the Nanjing University International Conference Center. Mr. Min Dayong, Chairman/General Manager of Suzhou Changguang Huaxin Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., was appointed as one of the first entrepreneurship mentors of Nanjing University.

As an important part of the "Campus Suzhou Day" — a series of events at Nanjing University, the dual appointment program received great attention from the Suzhou municipal government, Nanjing University, and all sectors of society. Leaders including Suzhou Vice Mayor Zha Yingdong, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Suzhou High-tech Zone/Secretary of Huqiu District Committee Mao Wei, and Nanjing University Party Secretary Hu Jinbo attended the event together with Nanjing University students and more than ten media outlets.

At the dual appointment meeting, Vice Mayor Zha Yingdong started from the perspective of Nanjing University students and, combined with Suzhou's positioning as a "paradise for entrepreneurs and heaven for innovators," painted a picture of a new era of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation for all." He also expressed hope to join hands with Nanjing University, move forward together with the broad student body, and jointly create a legendary story of a "prestigious university + famous city."
Mr. Min Dayong, as an expert in the Ministry of Science and Technology's expert database and a recipient of the State Council special allowance, is not only actively practicing talent cultivation but also planning long-term strategies for enterprise innovation and development.
In 2007, based on the development of the domestic laser industry, a "three-year layout plan" was set — "Ten years to sharpen a sword, aiming at the laser path." Within three years, the strategic layout of the core laser industry chain was completed. Through fourteen years of effort, the localization of mainstream core lasers was achieved.
To this end, Mr. Min Dayong came to Suzhou to develop and progress together with Changguang Huaxin. Today, adhering to the core values of "professionalism, dedication, service, and struggle," Changguang Huaxin has established a complete process platform and mass production line for semiconductor lasers, becoming one of the few companies worldwide to research, develop, and mass-produce high-power semiconductor laser chips. It has broken the long-term monopoly of core semiconductor laser chips by foreign chip manufacturers in the industrial and defense fields.
The achievements are the crystallization of Changguang Huaxin's respect for knowledge, courtesy to talents, active innovation, and relentless progress, as well as a record of Mr. Min Dayong's patriotic feelings, unwavering pursuit of lasers, and arduous entrepreneurial struggle.

During the event, Mr. Min Dayong said in a media interview:
I am honored to receive this award. Nanjing University, as a "Double First-Class" A-level university, has a long history and profound heritage, with its academic lineage tracing back to the Nanjing Imperial Academy in 258 AD. Nanjing University has stood firm on the foundation of "sincerity, simplicity, grandeur, diligence in learning, and earnest practice" through the rolling tides of history, continuously integrating, innovating, and transforming fearlessly, until it earned the international reputation as the "center of education in the East." Nanjing University students have inherited the fine qualities of innovation, striving for change, and determined practice, producing many well-known figures such as Tao Xingzhi, Cheng Kaijia, Yu Guangzhong, and Yang Jiechi, who have made important contributions to the country's development.
As a global leader in the research, development, and mass production of high-power semiconductor laser chips, Changguang Huaxin has higher demands and requirements for talent than traditional industries. This connection with Nanjing University is not only beneficial to the innovation and entrepreneurship of Nanjing University students but also crucial to the future development of Changguang Huaxin.
In Suzhou Science and Technology City, Changguang Huaxin is adjacent to Nanjing University's Suzhou campus. The academic planning of Nanjing University's Suzhou campus complements the industry characteristics and strategic layout of Changguang Huaxin. It is believed that the entrepreneurship mentor program will elevate the school-enterprise cooperation between Nanjing University and Changguang Huaxin to a higher level, laying a solid foundation for future deep cooperation between the two and for the entrepreneurship and employment of Nanjing University students!
