When it comes to Jimei University, the first thing that comes to mind is the glorious history of women's basketball. In the 30s of the 20th century, thanks to the support of Chen Jiageng, the Physical Education Department of Jimei School vigorously developed women's basketball. The school has formed a tall and high-quality women's basketball team, which is not only invincible in Xiamen and southern Fujian, but also became one of the top three in the country at that time, writing a glorious chapter in the sports history of Jimei University.
However, Jimei University is not limited to achievements in the field of sports.
