The Furong Lake, which is in front
of the Jiageng complex, is at the center of the main campus. This lake was
built in 1982; it took its name from the nearby Furong student dormitories. And
“Furong” is also the name of Lee Kong Chian’s hometown, Furong village. Mr. Lee
contributed a lot to the construction of XMU, so the lake was given the name in
memory of him. There is a giant stone on one side of the lake, carving with the
remark “Century Cultivating People”. There is also a Furong Lake in Zhangzhou
Campus.
