JNU held a ceremony appointing Cong Bin an honorary JNU professor on Sept. 26, followed by an academic exchange meeting. Cong is a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, and vice president of the Jiu San Society's Central Committee. JNU  invited Cong; JNU President Song Xianzhong and Vice President Ye Wencai; Xu Guoquan, deputy to the National People’s Congress, a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiu San Society's Central Committee and director of Social Services Department; Wang Guilin, vice president of the Jiu San Society in Guangzhou and director of Guangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau; and Chen Jian, secretary of the Party Committee in JNU's School of Medicine.

Since 1978, Jinan University, a pioneer of medical education in a comprehensive university, has cultivated a huge medical talent pool for Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao as well as regions in the Belt and Road Initiative. Song said Cong's appointment as an honorary professor was a new opportunity for the development of medical education at JNU and would help it embark on a new journey in talent cultivation, discipline construction, academic research and other respects.
