Gao Xuegang, an MBA alumnus from the 2007 class, is the Chairman of Hubei Jingguang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.
Returning to the School of Business Administration (SBA) at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law fills me with deep emotion. Every ray of sunlight here reflects the dreams we once had. Over 75 years of trials and tribulations, my alma mater has witnessed the thriving development of business education in China and nurtured generations of business elites. Here, we witnessed the power of knowledge and the realization of dreams. In this place, we not only learned professional knowledge but also learned how to be a person, how to do things, and how to embrace the world with a heart full of gratitude. The MBA education, with its unique curriculum, practical teaching, and international perspective, has cultivated numerous high-level management talents with international competitiveness.
As alumni, we deeply understand the kindness and guidance of our alma mater and SBA. I have focused on the agricultural industry and founded Hubei Jingguang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. The company is engaged in the research and development, seedling cultivation, planting, and processing of new space agricultural varieties, and is soon to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Last year, Hubei Jingguang Agricultural became the only seed company in the country to receive the national "Specialized, Refined, Unique, and Innovative" (Small Giant) enterprise honor. In the same year, it participated in the CCTV high-end interview program "Dialogue with Brands" with its space-grown fragrant rice and contributed to the drafting of the "Technical Specifications for Screening Space Breeding of Crops" as a group standard. Additionally, the company obtained the first-level certificate in the Chinese agricultural technology industry, and is recognized as a National Agricultural High-tech Enterprise, a Gazelle Enterprise, a Key Leading Agricultural Enterprise in Hubei Province, a National Science and Technology Innovation Enterprise, a "Golden Seed" Listed Company, a Champion Enterprise, the Vice President Unit of the Hubei Seed Association, the Vice President Unit of the High-tech Enterprises Association of Wuhan, the Vice President Unit of the Hubei Chamber of Commerce, and the Vice President Unit of the Hubei Veterans Care Association. These achievements are inseparable from the careful nurturing and selfless dedication of my alma mater and SBA.
Now, standing on the familiar campus, I feel as though I can once again hear the sound of diligent reading, see the hurried footsteps, and the determined gazes. All of this will remain an eternal memory and invaluable treasure in our hearts. As alumni of SBA, we will continue to uphold the spirit of our school’s motto. With greater enthusiasm and unwavering belief, we will contribute to the development of our alma mater and to the progress of society with our wisdom and hard work.
