Until now, it was only a hearsay that Chinese are friendly and nice people; but now, I can vouch on that as primary evidence that Chinese are very nice and friendly people. They are truly excellent hosts. The days spent together with friends would be cherished forever.

This summer programme on International Law is the most exhilarating and comprehensive academy on International Law. The quality of the programme and the delivery of the Professors are uniquely balanced and superb. The professors are undoubtedly the best in their chosen areas. The diversity of the students also invigorated the programme and made the academy truly international. Indeed, the academy is “a must” to every international lawyer particularly from developing countries, who wishes to progress to the peak of international legal practice or academic career.

This is my second time to attend the summer programme of Xiamen Academy of International Law. The beautiful environment of Xiamen City is still the same. And with a better arrangement of the program and more participants this year, it is really a great chance for me to learn the knowledge and experiences from international scholars and academics.

--Thomas Kuei-Han LAI, Chinese Taipei

I think it is fair to say that participation in this program and having had the chance to study with classmates from numerous parts of the world, has provided all of us an excellent opportunity to familiarize ourselves with countries and cultures previously unfamiliar to us. For those of us coming from outside China we have had the added chance to experience Chinese culture first-hand by living here for three weeks.

I am Arash from Tehran capital of Iran. This is my first time I participate in this course. It was a good opportunity for me. I found many friends from different countries in XIAMEN. I found Chinese people are very kind. So I will never forget this summer. I miss all my classmates.

I feel delighted to have such a chance to study here and live here in Xiamen, the most beautiful city here in China. Peoples are welcoming and the temperature is pleasant, I felt myself falling in love with this city. I really hope to have another opportunity to study here in XMU with so many colleagues and friendly friends. Here I show my sincere thanks to the host party: Xiamen University and the volunteers, thank you all！

To study in Xiamen Academy of International Law represented a significant step in the path of construction of my International and Comparative Law career. It was an excellent opportunity to learn with renowned professors in a prestigious institution, Xiamen University. In class, we had the chance to think about the different topics of International Law by different perspectives, by exchanging views and perceptions during the debates. However, we also had the chance to learn outside the classroom, as we had the possibility to have contact with the Chinese culture.

Within the very short time of its existence, Xiamen Academy has made a tremendous impact on the international law stage. I have been to The Hague Academy twice and having been here, I can say that this Academy will be a great success.

--David Ighojohwegba EFEVWERHAN, Nigeria

I wish for us all to become ambassadors of the program and promote it in our countries and regions and with that allow more people to become part of Xiamen Academy International Law community. I hope this summer school has helped some of the students to find out that international law is what they love and are passionate about.

--Carolina MORENO, Dominica

This is my first chance participating international summer school. At the first sight, I fell in love to Xiamen. This beautiful city is so attractive and I’d really love to visit Xiamen again. Xiamen Academy of International Law is also wonderful and I would never forget the time I spent here and, I have learned so many precious things from great professors and judges, also from amazing students. I will study hard in my hometown Korea and hope I can meet all of you in the future! Thank you all!

--Ji Hye LEE, Korea

First time in my life I participate in a summer program and it was excellent. I met so many friends not only from different universities of China but also from various countries of the world. I have been studying in Xiamen University for one year and did not have much time to visit so many places of China. But through this program it seems to me that whole China came to Xiamen. I exchange their culture and life style here in the program. Also world famous professors’ lectures encourage me to go further in the fields of law. Hope I will join the next summer program.

“听君一席话，胜读十年书”，是我听完多位教授的报告后，油然而生的一个念头。我为他们渊博的知识所折服，为他们的平易近人、完美的人格所叹服。在研究生暑期学校里，认识了很多新朋友，还锻炼了我与人交流、沟通的能力。研究生暑期学校，虽然时间短暂，但是，它给予我的却是一笔难得的财富，教授们的报告，不仅扩大了我的视野，他们的思想也为我以后的学习和研究起了指导作用。

在这个炎热的夏季，我们相约厦门，相约厦门大学法学院，在国际班聆听国际大师讲授国际法。短暂的学习时光不仅让我们收获了知识，更让我们收获了友谊，收获了快乐，虽然还未到收获的金秋，我们却已感受到收获的欣喜。愿厦门大学法学院国际法暑期学校常办常新，越办越好！

短短的暑期学习经历，已经是我人生中的一笔重要财富。她使我看到了不同的研究方法与研究视角在国际法学专业领域所取得的斐然成绩，也使我更深刻认识到：要使自己的学业更为精进、人格更为完善，必须要有一颗谦逊的心灵、在比较中求进步，同时也要有一份包容的胸怀、在取长补短中找到新的起点
