LONGi is named after the former president of Lanzhou University.
In 1986, when Li Zhenguo and Zhong Baoshen had just enrolled, the formal opening ceremony of Lanzhou University was held before the statue of its president, Jiang Longji. His inspirational life story planted the seeds of a long-cherished dream in their hearts: We will name our company LONGi!
