The hero in the “The Three Families in Wenzhou” Zhang Lu sent a blessing video. In the video, he said since he had been to WZBC for shooting, his entrepreneurial experience in the play is also the epitome of many alumni’s entrepreneurial experiences.

Cheng Weidong, the screenwriter of “The Three Families of Wenzhou” shared many interesting stories happened in the collection and creation of the TV series, as well as his understanding of the Wenzhou spirit. He said that when Ye Zifan, the protagonist of the TV series, left his father’s big business and ventured to make his own life, he thought that although he had a high degree of law, he still had to go to WZBC to attend economists’ lectures. Because WZBC is rooted in Wenzhou, a hot spot for entrepreneurship, taking entrepreneurship education as a school-running feature, it is the cradle for cultivating entrepreneurs in the new era. He said affectionately that in interviews with young people in Wenzhou, he was inspired and moved every moment by the pulse of Wenzhou young people’s desire for success. He encouraged WZBC graduates to work hard, inherit and carry forward the spirit of Wenzhou people in the new era, and feel the blood surging of the time.
The whole ceremony was divided into five chapters: Glory, Gratefulness, Inheritance, Farewell and Blessings. A series of programs such as flash mobs, recitations, singing and dancing, and chorus have been performed to send off all the graduates. After singing the “Wenzhou Business College Song” in unison, all the leaders watched the graduates leave.
May the graduates overcome obstacles, move forward courageously, break into a new world on the new journey, and remember to come back. WZBC has always been waiting for you!
