I. Brief Introduction

Henan University is located in Kaifeng, a famous historic city which used to be

the capital of China during seven different dynasties. Imperial examinations were held

in this place 100 years ago; the last two imperial examinations was held here in 1903

and 1904, and it marked the end of the thousand-year-long imperial examination

system. At the beginning of the 20th century, under the influence of Western culture

and the impact of the Revolution of 1911, Lin Boxiang and a group of people with

lofty ideals came to Kaifeng and founded the Preparatory School for Further Study in

Europe and America, it was one of the three major schools to prepare students for

overseas study. Later on it was renamed Zhongzhou University, No.5 National

Zhongshan University and Provincial Henan University. In 1942 its name was

changed to National Henan University and it had developed into an influential

comprehensive university with 6 schools, namely, the School of Liberal Arts, School

of Science, School of Agriculture, School of Engineering, School of Medicine and the

School of Law. As one of the National Universities then, Henan University was proud

of its brilliant academic strength and was famous both at home and abroad. After the

founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the nationwide reorganization of

colleges and departments, the School of Agriculture, the School of Medicine and the

School of Administration separated from Henan University and became Henan

College of Agriculture, Henan College of Medicine and Henan Administrative

Institute of Politics and Law. The schools of water conservancy, finance and

economics and others were transferred to Wuhan University, Zhongnan University of

Economics and Law as well as to other universities. Henan University was renamed

Henan Normal College, Kaifeng Normal College and Henan Normal University. The

name Henan University was restored in 1984. In 2000, Henan University merged with

Kaifeng Normal College and Kaifeng Medicine College to become the new Henan

University. On October 17th, 2008, the Henan provincial Government and the

Ministry of Education signed an agreement to jointly support the future development

of Henan University therefore allowing Henan University to formally enter the list of

Industry, Discipline and Modesty”. Generations of scholars have passed the spiritual

torch down and demonstrated their willingness to accept new ideas and to step into

the world, their belief in truth and ceaseless pursuit of perfection, their perseverance,

determination, generosity and tolerance as well as an inclination towards a simple but

similar to “211 project” institutions. In The Twelfth Five-Year Plan on National

Economic and Social Development in Henan Province, the goal to “develop Henan

University into a national top university” is specified. Accordingly, in the Ninth CPC

Congress at Henan University, the goal for the next period is clearly stated in two

parts. The first part is to improve on the joint construction by the province and the

state by 2020. Then Henan University will have more characteristics and will

significantly increase its overall strength by improving the overall quality of

education, elevating the level of scientific research, improving the social services and

enhancing the internationalization of education. The second step is to develop Henan

University into a top university in China and a comprehensive, research-oriented and

international university with certain influence in the world by the middle of this

century.The historic event of the provincial government and the Ministry of Education

signing to develop jointly Henan University gives this time-honored university a new

stimulus. With new opportunities and challenges, Henan University, guided by the

Scientific Outlook of Development, will stand firm in Henan province, rise in the

country and step into the world. It will successfully accomplish the task of producing

highly qualified talents, doing scientific research and providing social services.

Through 100 years of ups and downs, twists and turns, Henan University is going to

embark on its journey to become a top university, with confidence and hope.
