Song left Changchun - the capital city of Jilin province - 30 years ago, after she graduated from university. She feels particularly excited at the prospect of being able to return to her hometown now that the Party committee, the provincial government and Jilin University have created opportunities to return.

Jilin is a livable place with a high forest coverage rate, while Changchun has a strong industrial base, which provides a good foundation for further development in the future, specifically in the field of developing high-end equipment.
