Suzhou AODE Partners with Jiangsu Normal University Affiliated Kunshan Experimental Middle School to Establish a Dedicated Scholarship Fund

On September 11, on the occasion of the 42nd Teachers' Day, the opening ceremony for the first semester of the 2026–2027 academic year and the school's high-quality development conference of Jiangsu Normal University Affiliated Kunshan Experimental Middle School kicked off in the gymnasium.

Zhou Minhui, Deputy Director of the Social Affairs Bureau of Kunshan High-Tech Zone, and Li Hai, Chief of the Education Section, together with Zhou Dingshan, Chairman of AODE Group, gathered with all teachers, students, and parent representatives to jointly turn a fresh new page of "Meeting Beauty, Growing Toward the Sun."

At the ceremony, the donation ceremony for the "AODE Scholarship" was officially launched. A single donation, a certificate, a bronze plaque — strings together the mutual commitment between school and enterprise.

AODE will walk alongside Jiangsu Normal University Affiliated Kunshan Experimental Middle School over a five-year term, launching a dedicated public-welfare scholarship partnership to add a boost of growth for outstanding students of good character and learning.

Education is a matter of national significance, the warmest undertone of a city, and an important way for enterprises to give back to society and fulfill their responsibilities.

Rooted in Kunshan for many years, we know well: the growth of an enterprise cannot be separated from the nourishment of this fertile land; the development of an enterprise should, in turn, give back to local education.

It is with this original aspiration and sense of responsibility that we have decided to support campus education and empower student growth through concrete action.

The establishment of this dedicated scholarship fund is to commend diligent, hard-working students of outstanding character and learning, adding support to their educational journey and gathering a beam of light for their pursuit of dreams.

A scholarship, though limited in amount, carries profound and far-reaching meaning — it is not only recognition and reward for students' hard study and unremitting striving, but also embodies our passion for education and our expectations for the future.

In his speech, Mr. Zhou Dingshan, Chairman of AODE, remarked: "Education is the warmest undertone of a city." From a single passion to becoming "specialized, sophisticated, distinctive, and innovative" , he has walked his own path with a daring, pioneering spirit. Years later, when the students have achieved success in their studies, may this goodwill be passed on in turn.

Amid applause, the "Stars of Learning" from Grades 8 and 9 took the stage in batches. Chairman Zhou Dingshan and Principal Zhang Ping presented awards to them. This honor belongs to diligence, and also to every young person growing upward.

Public welfare is not a momentary enthusiasm, but a long-term responsibility. Five years of partnership is a solid starting point for our school–enterprise cooperation and scholarship-based education.

In the future, Suzhou AODE will always uphold its original aspiration as an enterprise, shoulder social responsibility, continuously deepen its public-welfare cooperation with the school, steadily increase investment in educational scholarships, focus on student growth, support school development, and contribute tangible strength to safeguarding the growth of young people.

We also hope that, with this modest effort, we can inspire more social forces to pay attention to education and care for students, so that a culture of valuing learning, embracing kindness, respecting teachers, and revering education takes root and flourishes in Kunshan.

Meeting Beauty, Growing Toward the Sun. AODE is willing to join the school, families, and society in adding a beam of light to every dream.
