Background
“Enlai Special Fund of Zhejiang University Education Foundation”, established in 2019 with the donation of Beijing Enlai Foundation, is used to support the selection of Zhejiang University Zhou Enlai Class and Enlai Honorary Student Association, aiming to integrate the mission of “Studying for the rise of China” and the University’s values of “Diligence, Virtue, Wisdom and Honesty” into guiding the students to stay true to the Party’s original aspiration and the founding mission.
