Yale University received a pledge of $8,888,888 from Chinese investor Lei Zhang to help build a new business-school campus and to fund international scholarships.
Zhang’s gift will also fund scholarships at Yale’s Jackson Institute of Global Affairs and other China-related activities at the university, according to the statement.

Dân Tàu tức giận.
Zhang has said, in a first-person profile posted on the Yale School of Management Web site, that he gave the sum because “It’s no overstatement to say that SOM changed my life. I learned so much there, and not just finance or entrepreneurship. I learned about freedom and the spirit of giving, which to me is a great reflection of the American spirit.”
Some of the funds will provide scholarship support for Chinese students in international relations at Yale’s new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, and while another portion will be used to support a variety of China-related activities, such as Yale’s work with China’s Ministry of Education to train Chinese university presidents.
Zhang, who generally maintains a low profile, couldn’t be reached for comment. In his online profile, which is no longer available on Yale’s site but can be seen via Google cache, Zhang says “Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that.”
