After the above news was released, the topic of # Central South University alumni donating 600 million yuan to their alma mater # became a hot topic on Weibo. As Central South University did not directly disclose the identity of the donor in the above news, and well-known entrepreneurs such as BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu and Sany Group Chairman Liang Wengen are alumni of Central South University, the low-key donor of this event has also sparked speculation among netizens.

"He himself is relatively low-key and has not talked too much about this matter to the public, but everyone in the small circle knows about it."
Regarding the above news, the reporter from Pengpai News contacted Central South University, who only emphasized that the news published on the school's official website shall prevail. Based on the information published on the website of Central South University and the official WeChat official account, this CEO is a 91 level alumnus of Central South University. On June 15th, at the graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony of Central South University in 2023, he gave a speech as a representative of alumni. He talked about his journey of striving across multiple fields, encouraged young students to actively explore positions and uncertainties, constantly strive to learn new knowledge, stick to their dreams, and cross "gaps" one after another.

The full name of NMN is“ β - Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and NAD+supports cellular metabolism. As age increases, the NAD+content in the human body decreases, and mitochondrial acetylase regulatory proteins decrease. Mitochondrial acetylase may play an important role in healthy aging. Some people view it as an "elixir of life", while others question its efficacy, believing it to be an "intelligence tax".
In July 2020, Xiamen Jindawei Group Co., Ltd.'s stock price rose to the limit for several consecutive days after pre-sales of NMN products on e-commerce platforms. Regarding the efficacy of NMN products, Jindawei has mentioned in multiple announcements that it has not made a clear commitment to the actual efficacy of the product, and has clearly indicated that the product's efficacy has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease.
On December 16, 2022, the company published an article on its official WeChat official account, which mentioned that David Sinclair, a famous scholar in the field of NMN, published a review article on NAD+and COVID-19 in the Cell sub journal. The article pointed out that COVID-19 infection will further consume the NAD+reserves in the body. Therefore, the NAD+precursor NMN can be used as an emerging immune modulator for anti infection and anti inflammation during viral infection. It is an important weapon for human beings to fight against COVID-19 and other viral infections.
