Abstract Inorganic chemistry in Jilin University was formed as an independent division in 1952. Seventy years later, the inorganic chemistry of Jilin University has established with a reputation to drive excellence in teaching, research and innovation. In this paper, we review our journey, our struggles and our achievements in building a common core-based curriculum with mapping and tracking system, developing chemistry textbooks that facilitate learning of fundamental ideas of chemistry, and infrastructures that encourage science innovation, and attract and retain talents. We remind ourselves that inorganic chemistry is a community whose story is worth celebrating, whose history is worth cherishing and whose future is worth building. We pay tribute to the founding members and pioneer faculty staff and affirm what they stood for. We are indebted to those who have shown their generosity and support in time of need to make what we are today.
