Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah-Kee, a well-known oversea Chinese patriot. The university is located on the resort-like island of Xiamen which has a reputation of Garden over the Sea and has direct flights to many major cities in Asia. Thanks to the contribution and influence of the late president, Professor Wang Yanan, a prominent economist who first translated Marxs Das Kapital into Chinese, economics study in Xiamen University has been among the very top programs in China. The Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics is a recent effort of the Ministry of Education of China and Xiamen University to build a first class research institute and facilitate domestic and international research and academic exchanges.
