Wuhan University program aims to inspire innovation

Xie Mengfei's WeChat account "Wuhan University Assistant" has attracted more than 20,000 followers as it provides course results, class information and even lectures.

Since its launch last February, his account on the popular text and voice messaging app has been dubbed the "Siri of Wuhan University" by his followers after a famous phone app.

Thanks to Wuhan University's unique credits system, Xie, 21, a junior computer science major, has already achieved all his necessary credits for the year and dropped all his courses for the second semester.
