Yun Guohong, president of IMNU granted a letter to Chen Guoxiang appointing him to the post of part-time professor in the university.

The exhibition was jointly held by IMNU and Wuhai. The two parties reached a talent cultivation agreement in 2008. Early this year, a new strategic framework agreement on pre-school education has pushed the two parties' cooperation forward.

Wuhai is recognized as "a city of calligraphy" with rich cultural resources and unique advantage in culture, which helps to pave the way for IMNU and Wuhai’s strategic cooperation, said Fan Guili, head of the city's culture bureau.
