It also acknowledged his distinctive vision of university leadership\u2014one grounded in advancing scientific frontiers, serving national priorities, and strengthening academic collaboration between UM and PKU. Prof Gong\u2019s journey, from entering PKU at the age of 15 to leading one of China\u2019s foremost universities, reflects the trajectory of his scientific career: precise in focus, far\u2011reaching in impact, and transformative in influence. A pioneer of nonlinear optics and a steadfast advocate of educational cooperation between Beijing and Macao, he has left a lasting imprint on the development of science and higher education.<\/div><div><\/div><div>A lifelong research journey rooted in PKU<\/div><div><\/div><div>In 1979, at just 15 years old, Prof Gong entered the Department of Physics (now the School of Physics) at PKU after achieving the top science\u2011stream score in the National College Entrance Examination in Putian City, Fujian Province. His arrival coincided with a period often described as a springtime for science at PKU. Although material conditions were modest, intellectual ambition ran high, creating an atmosphere that left a lasting impression on the young student. Even today, Prof Gong recalls those years with clarity and energy. \u2018I remember lining up at the library entrance at six in the morning just to find a seat,\u2019 he says. \u2018Everyone carried a belief in revitalising China.\u2019 That shared conviction became a quiet but enduring force shaping his academic path.<\/div><div><\/div><div>In an era without computers and with limited experimental resources, young scholars were driven not only by curiosity, but by confidence in the country\u2019s future. While many of his peers chose to pursue further studies abroad after completing their undergraduate degrees, Prof Gong made a different choice, remaining at PKU for a combined master\u2019s and doctoral programme. Later, during academic visits overseas in the 1980s and 1990s, he again declined opportunities to stay abroad under more favourable research conditions, choosing instead to return to China. What began as a personal decision gradually became a lifelong commitment\u2014more than four decades devoted to PKU. A pivotal moment came in 1995, when Prof Gong received funding from the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. \u2018The grant amounted to 600,000 yuan, which was a substantial sum at the time,\u2019 he recalls. He used the funding to purchase his first laser, marking the true beginning of his research career. \u2018Without that support,\u2019 he reflects, \u2018I might not have achieved what I have today.\u2019 Over time, this sense of gratitude evolved into a sustained commitment to supporting younger researchers, fostering a culture at PKU in which emerging talent is encouraged to grow from small sparks into guiding lights.<\/div><div><\/div><div>This virtuous cycle\u2014linking individual dedication with national support\u2014has enabled successive generations of researchers to thrive. Long devoted to nonlinear optics and small\u2011scale space-time optics, Prof Gong has emerged as a leading figure in the field, making systematic and innovative contributions spanning fundamental mechanisms, novel physical effects, and practical applications. His achievements have been recognised with numerous honours, including the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award and the First Prize of the Ministry of Education Natural Science Award. His work has been selected three times among the \u2018Ten Major Scientific and Technological Progress of China\u2019s Colleges and Universities\u2019 and twice as the \u2018International Optics Progress of the Year\u2019. Beyond individual achievements, Prof Gong\u2019s influence has reshaped the institutional landscape of optics research at PKU. Under his leadership, the university\u2019s optics discipline has grown into a research base of international standing. At the same time, the Frontiers Science Center for Nano\u2011optoelectronics of the Ministry of Education and the Yangtze Delta Institute of Optoelectronics at PKU\u2014both established under his guidance\u2014continue to advance the frontiers of global science and technology while responding to national strategic priorities.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Leadership in science and education<\/div><div><\/div><div>As an education administrator, Prof Gong draws on his personal experience to shape PKU\u2019s approach to talent cultivation. Central to his educational philosophy is a careful balance between strategic direction and intellectual freedom. Reflecting on the evolution of China\u2019s higher education system, he observes, \u2018Earlier generations relied on diligence and conviction to overcome material scarcity. Today, following the implementation of national initiatives such as Project 211, Project 985, and the Double First\u2011Class programme, universities benefit from substantially improved research environments, many of them now comparable to world\u2011leading standards. However, our original mission of advancing science in service of the country has not changed.\u2019<\/div><div><\/div><div>At PKU, this philosophy is translated into a two\u2011track model. On one track, the university preserves its tradition of inclusiveness by safeguarding faculty members\u2019 freedom to pursue curiosity\u2011driven basic research. On the other, it advances major scientific and technological breakthroughs through organised, mission\u2011oriented research programmes. \u2018We adopt a top\u2011level design to address some of the country\u2019s most significant scientific and technological challenges,\u2019 Prof Gong explains. \u2018By forming teams and encouraging collaboration, we aim to strike a balance between free exploration and national priorities.\u2019 In his view, this balance embodies the enduring spirit of PKU, in which patriotism, progress, democracy, and science are inseparable values. Interdisciplinary integration has thus become a defining feature of the university\u2019s research strategy. For example, PKU has established cross\u2011disciplinary teams in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum information, respecting academic freedom while aligning with national strategic needs.<\/div><div><\/div><div>The same philosophy also guides Prof Gong\u2019s approach to education and mentorship. He often recalls an episode from 1997, when he was supervising his first cohort of doctoral students. On the eve of Hong Kong\u2019s return to China, the group was still struggling to obtain reliable results from a fluorescence upconversion experiment. After months of frustration, late that night they finally captured a critical signal. \u2018The students were under intense pressure to graduate,\u2019 he recalls, \u2018but I encouraged them to persevere and trust that sustained effort would lead to a breakthrough.\u2019 The experience became a lasting lesson in patience, resilience, and scientific faith. Today, this spirit of perseverance is embedded in PKU\u2019s system for cultivating top\u2011level innovative talent. By immersing students in challenging research environments, the university seeks to develop not only technical competence, but also strategic vision and a resilient scientific mindset.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Shaping a new era of educational cooperation between Beijing and Macao<\/div><div><\/div><div>In Prof Gong\u2019s view, the Doctor of Science <i>honoris causa<\/i> he received from UM is not only a personal honour, but also a testament to the enduring friendship between UM and PKU. Through his sustained efforts, the more than 20\u2011year partnership between the two institutions has evolved into a deeply collaborative strategic relationship. In 2023, Prof Gong and UM Rector Yonghua Song\u2014long\u2011standing academic acquaintances\u2014signed a new strategic cooperation framework agreement, committing both universities to the shared goal of developing into world\u2011class institutions with Chinese characteristics. Seeing UM as an important partner, Prof Gong emphasises the university\u2019s distinctive position. Located in a city shaped by a rich blend of Chinese and Western cultures and situated within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, UM serves as a strategic bridge linking China and the wider world. This unique combination of cultural heritage and geographical advantage, he believes, gives the cooperation between UM and PKU particular significance.<\/div><div><\/div><div>The blueprint for collaboration between the two universities is now taking clearer shape. In addition to long\u2011standing cooperation in fields such as Basic Law studies and Portuguese and Spanish language and culture, new initiatives are being developed in faculty and student exchanges and the development of residential colleges. The two universities have also jointly launched the Digital Intelligence International Development Education Alliance to address the opportunities and challenges posed by the digital transformation of higher education. Looking ahead, they plan to leverage UM\u2019s new campus in the Cooperation Zone in Hengqin to carry out joint research and contribute to the development of the Greater Bay Area. Reflecting on new models of international education, Prof Gong notes, \u2018Peking University aims to become a world\u2011class university by around 2030. We hope to work with the University of Macau to attract and jointly cultivate more international students, thereby enhancing the internationalisation of education.\u2019 In his view, this partnership represents not merely a sharing of resources, but a convergence of educational philosophies. By combining PKU\u2019s strengths in fundamental disciplines with UM\u2019s international outlook, the two universities are well positioned to develop a distinctive model of talent cultivation.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Gong also speaks highly of UM\u2019s development trajectory. \u2018From its beginnings as a community college to its emergence as a research university with multiple state key laboratories and major research platforms, UM\u2019s achievements have benefited from the strong support of the central government and the Macao SAR government, as well as from its strategic integration into the national science and technology system,\u2019 he says. He particularly commends UM\u2019s ability to align closely with national needs while preserving its own unique characteristics, describing this as a development model worthy of broader reference.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Looking ahead, Prof Gong envisions further expanding cooperation with UM to promote collaborative research innovation and joint talent cultivation between Beijing and Macao, thereby helping to shape a new model of regional higher\u2011education cooperation in China. Previously, he delivered a lecture titled \u2018Invigorating China through Science and Education, and Accelerating the Building of World Hubs for Talent and Innovation\u2019 as part of UM\u2019s University Lecture Series\u2014a concise expression of this shared philosophy. When PKU\u2019s profound academic heritage meets UM\u2019s open and international vision, and when the rigorous scholarship of PKU\u2019s Weiming Lake converges with Macao\u2019s fusion of Chinese and Western wisdom, the partnership between the two universities is poised to become a vital hub for both talent and innovation.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Charting China\u2019s path in the decade ahead<\/div><div><\/div><div>As global competition in science and technology intensifies, China\u2019s capacity for breakthrough innovation in the decade ahead has become a central focus of international attention. Prof Gong argues that meeting this challenge begins with confidence\u2014confidence rooted in sustained commitment to basic research. \u2018Universities must not only tackle existing \u201cbottleneck\u201d problems,\u2019 he says, \u2018but also look beyond immediate demands and pursue original, forward\u2011looking research that defines the future rather than reacts to it.\u2019<\/div><div><\/div><div>From entering PKU at the age of 15 to leading one of China\u2019s foremost universities, Prof Gong\u2019s career has unfolded in parallel with the country\u2019s transformation in science and higher education since the reform and opening\u2011up era. His personal trajectory mirrors both the perseverance of an individual scientist and the evolution of China\u2019s university system itself. It carries the legacy of two generations of scholars: one forged by a steadfast belief in national revitalisation, and another shaped by the modern imperative of scientific and technological self\u2011reliance. Grounded in national priorities yet informed by a global outlook, Prof Gong continues to embody the dual role of scientist and educator. With steady resolve, he presses forward to build a world\u2011class hub for talent and innovation\u2014one defined not by short\u2011term gains, but by confidence, originality, and a long\u2011term vision for China\u2019s place at the frontiers of science.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Profile of Prof Gong Qihuang<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Gong Qihuang is a world\u2011renowned expert in optics and a distinguished educator. He currently serves as president of Peking University and was among the first professors appointed under the Ministry of Education\u2019s Changjiang Scholars Program. Prof Gong has long been engaged in frontier research in nonlinear optics and small-scale space-time optics. His work has produced systematic and innovative contributions to the understanding of material properties, the discovery of new optical phenomena, and their practical applications. In recognition of his academic achievements, Prof Gong was elected a fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK) in 2007, a fellow of Optica (formerly the Optical Society of America) in 2010, and a fellow of the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) in 2018. He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013 and a fellow of the World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in 2018.<\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><div><div>Chinese Text: Gigi
