The city of Hefei has become a promising land for many talents, especially for future generations, experts said on Thursday. "For
me, this is a big surprise. I've worked all around the world, and I
feel China has the most hard-working talent anywhere in the world," Gary
Hughes, director of the New Product Introduction Engineering Department
of carmaker Nio, told China.org.cn. "It
seems that the government can afford to nurture good ideas and also the
new ideas from young people at universities. So, it's very exciting to
be a part of this city's life and new development." He
added that he believes that all over China, the education system for
improving children and nurturing young talent is better than anywhere
around the world. Hughes, a veteran
British engineer who has lived in the city for 7 years, has found a
great work-life balance in Hefei. He has also paid attention to young
talent and 10% of his team are younger upcoming talents from
universities. Thomas Weise, an
artificial intelligence researcher with Hefei University, said Hefei's
investment in education builds a promising foundation for good
university students. "Our city has
more than 60 universities and colleges. The students who study in these
universities will be the next generation of leading scientists," he
said. In his opinion, Hefei has
attracted many great national and international scientists. "Many
outstanding professors come here to share their state-of-the-art
knowledge, to advise PhD students, and give guidance for the development
of the city. I met colleagues who are much better researchers than me. I
came here to learn." During recent
years, Weise said he saw more and more young scholars like that from all
over the world coming to Hefei. Many of them become strong researchers
by studying in the city and many of them want to stay. "Our
city becomes more and more international. It is a booming international
city of education, science, research, and tech, and also one of the
important national science centers of China. Here, world-class research
in quantum communications, nuclear fusion, smog prevention and cancer
treatment is conducted," he said. Kim Sang Jin, a TFT-LCD expert of Hefei BOE, has been living in Hefei for 10 years and witnessed its growth. "In
the past decade, the pace of Hefei's urban construction has been never
stopped, and the development of scientific and technological innovations
has been paralleled with the work of attracting fresh talent," he said. In
Kim's eyes, Hefei is now a vibrant city, and it stands at the forefront
of the world in terms of living environment, social security, education
and medical standards. He called it home. Just
as Yu Aihua, a member of the standing committee of the Anhui provincial
CPC committee and secretary of the Hefei municipal CPC committee, said
on Oct. 29 at the opening ceremony of the3rd G60 Yangtze River Delta
Sci-tech Innovation Valley Talent Summit, "As the most precious resource
of regional integration, talents need to be cultivated and shared
rather than competed for and stolen." "We will strive to help more talent come to Hefei. Hefei is really making every effort to implement this philosophy," he said.
