Why does Xiamen University Fort face the Twin Towers?

1. Historical reasons: In the late Qing Dynasty, when the country was in a critical situation, a group of military talents trained by Fujian Ship Administration School led a fleet to the Minjiang Estuary to fight against the invading enemy, with the aim of learning from foreigners and mastering their skills. For this reason, some people in both parties advocate the construction of twin towers in Xiamen University's seaside campus to commemorate the historical contribution of the School of Ship Administration.

2. Realistic reasons: Xiamen University was founded by patriotic overseas Chinese Chen Jiageng, and the Twin Towers were designed by Chen Jiageng. The Petronas Twin Towers are also the landmark buildings in Xiamen, and they will appear in many city publicity pictures in Xiamen.
