There are also her grandfather Li Shiping and father Li Qian. Different from ordinary send-off parents, Li Shiping and Li Qian have another identity: Li Yinglin's alumni.

​​Grandpa Li Shiping studied at the University of Mining, which was also called Beijing Institute of Mining and Technology at that time, , from 1959 to 1964; father Li Qian, received an EMBA degree from the University of Mining in June 2012, and was the first EMBA of the University of Mining.

Scores and majors are suitable, everything is just right

​​Li Yinglin is from Shaanxi and grew up in Shaanxi. Before coming to Beijing, this introverted girl never thought that one day she would come to Beijing and come to the University of Mining and Technology. "I originally wanted to stay in Shaanxi to study." Li Yinglin said.

​​Li Yinglin is a science student, with a score of 559 in the college entrance examination, ranking around 10,000 in Shaanxi Province. When applying for volunteers, Li Yinglin took a volunteer application guide and looked at it for a long time, and finally stopped at China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), "Grandfather and father both went to school here." I feel that both the score and the major are suitable." Because of the impact of the epidemic, there was no offline voluntary application consultation meeting this year, so Li Yinglin's father called and asked the teachers in the admissions office of the University of Mining and Mines carefully to see if this score can be passed and what majors are available. can choose. Under father's various inspections, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) finally became Li Yinglin's first choice school.

In 1970, Li Shiping actively responded to the call of the party and the country, supported the construction of the third line, and went to the front line of coal construction in the northwest motherland. The rigorous, dedicated, pragmatic, and innovative work qualities cultivated in school have made Li Shiping the manager of a large state-owned coal enterprise.

His father was very proud of what he said, and he was very yearning to hear it, hoping to feel and understand his alma mater in his father's memory more clearly.

The opportunity has come. In 2006, Li Qian participated in the training of coal professional managers and stepped into the campus of the University of Mining and Mining for the first time. "I felt very friendly as soon as I entered the school. I also took a photo of the National Building and took it back to my father. My father was very excited after seeing it." "

Although the training time was short, it made Li Qian firm in his dream of studying at the University of Mining and Mining. In 2009, Li Qian finally realized his dream of the University of Mining and Technology, and started his study career in the School of Management of the University of Mining and Mining as a master of business administration. Recalling the time of his advanced studies, Li Qian was very moved: the teachers are all famous teachers from famous schools, and the course content is very exciting; the school provides a broad platform, and can exchange experience and technology with more managers of coal enterprises, which broadens horizons and improves business Level.
