WUXI, China, Mar. 26, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

On March 27, the Public Selection for outstanding young talents in Wuxi, which 
lasted for six months, came to the final competition. Although less than 1/30 
of the contestants get selected, the organizers embraced more with the greatest 
enthusiasm with the rest of contestants, according to the Wuxi Municipal 
People's Government.

This year, more than 10,000 qualified young talents participated in the 
competition. Through the preliminary assessment, nearly 1,000 people came to 
the Wuxi for the final competition, and only 270 people eventually became 
"selected talents". But even if it is not selected, after the evaluation, the 
local organizer invited 88 Wuxi-owned enterprises, institutions, and leading 
enterprises to provide 1,359 positions, which are generally well paid.

The Wuxi epidemic prevention and isolation point also set up a test center for 
participants returning from overseas and still in the isolation period having a 
fair chance to compete. In addition, young talents who cannot come to the scene 
can also run for suitable positions through online channels.

This public selection activity lasted for 3 years. The number of places has 
risen from 40 to 280 last year, and 270 this year.

In 2020, 87.5% of selected talents graduated of masters, and doctoral students, 
and 92.1% graduated from international prestigious universities and China's 
"Double First-Class" University Project such as Oxford and Tsinghua University.

Wuxi has been advocating culture and education since ancient times. Talents 
will be intensively cultivated in their careers in Wuxi. More importantly, the 
locals will create a sense of belonging like home for young talents from all 
over the world.

Wuxi is known as the one of the three major cherry blossom viewing spots in the 
world. Now is the most beautiful season in Wuxi. It is also the best time for 
the talents and their future in Wuxi. 

"Let the hearts of talents stay in Wuxi," A related person from the 
Organization said.
