On a winter afternoon of December 27, 2018, the weather in Shenzhen is sunny and warm as spring. World famous tennis player and five-time Grand Slam singles champion Maria Sharapova visit SMBU and have cordial exchanges with teachers and students from SMBU.
In a good mood, Sharapova takes photos with her finger pointing to a gleaming five-pointed star at the top of the main building of SMBU. Then, she says: "as I played this tournament last year, we saw this huge building just behind the stadium going up and I was wondering what it was because I notice the star and I connect it to the University in Moscow. It happens to be an association with the University. Therefore, I am really happy to see it all built and new and I am proud to be here with a lot of the students. The building is beautiful and I think it is going to be an iconic a statue, an iconic building. What is inside represents a lot of the culture, literature, and education that so many students around the world strive for”.
