In 1994, six scholars, including Lin Yifu, Yi Gang, Zhang Weiying, Hai Wen, Zhang Fan, and Yu Mingde, planted a seed of academic service to the country on the shore of Weiming Lake at Peking University and established the China Center for Economic Research (CCER) of Peking University.

With the kind care and strong support of Peking University and all walks of life, this seed not only broke through the ground smoothly, but also continued to grow vigorously for 30 years, and frequently wrote legends in many fields such as teaching, scientific research, and think tanks.
The past 30 years of the National Development Institute have been 30 years of ups and downs of globalization and 30 thrilling years of China's reform and opening up. At the same time, it is also 30 years of collision and interweaving of ideas of different groups at home and abroad, and 30 years of competition and cooperation between state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign enterprises.
