Reference:

November 17, 1957 was an important day for Chinese students in the USSR. On that day, Chinese President Mao Zedong in the hall of the Moscow State University met with representatives of Chinese students in the Soviet Union, he told them: "The world belongs to you!". Chairman Mao Zedong said: “The world is yours and ours, but fundamentally belongs to you. You, young people, full of vigour and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you...The world belongs to you".

MPEI began to teach students from China in 1948. Since then, MPEI has trained more than 300 specialists for the PRC, including many well-known Chinese scientists who have contributed to the development of Chinese science and economy.
