On the morning of April 9, Professor Sally Chan, President of Hong Kong's Tung Wah College, and her delegation visited Chengdu University.

Peng Xiaolin extended a warm welcome to President Sally Chan and provided an overview of Chengdu University's history, discipline and major construction, talent cultivation, and advancement of its internationalization strategy. She mentioned that since the university's founding in 1978, its overall strength and quality of education have greatly improved through multiple mergers and the integration of high-quality educational resources. In the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023, the university was ranked between 49th and 95th among mainland Chinese institutions, with four disciplines—engineering, agricultural sciences, chemistry, and materials science—entering the top 1% globally based on ESI. She expressed hope for deep and meaningful cooperation in the medical field between the two institutions, given Tung Wah College's significant advantages in the fields of healthcare and nursing, and looked forward to more pragmatic cooperation in scientific research, student exchange, and faculty visits.

The college comprises the School of Arts and Humanities, School of Management, School of Medical and Health Sciences, and School of Nursing, offering bachelor's degree programs, associate degree programs, and certificate courses. The average monthly salary of its graduates is among the highest in Hong Kong. Professor Sally Chan expressed the desire to use this exchange as an opportunity to initiate educational cooperation between the two institutions, combining their respective educational strengths to expand collaboration in areas such as short-term faculty and student exchange visits, joint training, scientific research cooperation, and big data analysis, to better serve societal and economic development.
