XJTLU Anthem

To share the story of XJTLU, carry forward its spirit, and strengthen its brand identity, while celebrating the 20th anniversary of its founding in 2026, XJTLU launched the University anthem project at the end of 2024. Driven by the principle of “By XJTLUers, for XJTLUers”, the project is led by the XJTLU community and supported by professional resources. Through activities like anthem working group and creative reinterpretations, the project invites full participation from everyone connected to XJTLU – students, faculty, alumni, and all those who care about the university’s development-building a shared sense of belonging and pride.

XJTLU Anthem "Onwards We Go"

Created under the philosophy of “By XJTLUers, for XJTLUers, for education,” the XJTLU anthem was co-created by nearly 200 students, staff, and alumni, telling the story of global minds coming together in Suzhou to shape the future of education.

The XJTLU Anthem Lyrics

东方水城 诗意苏州 园林星布 历史悠久 独墅湖畔 时代潮头 引领未来 展望全球 西浦宛若鸿鹄而崛起 中外交汇 共创奇迹 探索教育 胸怀宇宙 拥抱世界 将未来握于手

Light and Wings 畅游智慧海洋 飞翔 为远方 梦想是我翅膀 点亮漫天星光

Onwards we go With a heart full of hope that lights the road Through all challenges we grow to triumph And face our future And help the human race improve We’ll change the world from XJTLU

时光的箭 锐不可挡 拥抱创新 变革启航 西浦伙伴 来自四方 教育生态 全球闪光 博学明道的初心不忘 笃行任事 勇敢担当 世界公民 和谐心智 融合智慧 成就人类梦想

Light and Wings 智慧绽放光彩 理想 在我怀 我们共赴教育 那片新的山海

Onwards we go With a heart full of hope that lights the road Through all challenges we grow to triumph And face our future And help the human race improve We’ll change the world from XJTLU We’ll change the world from XJTLU
