Visiting Yuhua University
Translator: Henyee Translations Redakteur: Henyee Translations
Yuhua University used to be the Hunan Institute of Technology, which could be traced back to Central South University.
In 1959, due to China's development of nuclear weapons and the nuclear industry in general, the state moved the Central South University mining and metallurgy engineering departments to Hengyang.
In the late 1960s, it was closed due to special reasons. Later in the 1980s, under the leadership of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry and the Hunan Provincial Government, it was revived in the form of the Hunan Institute of Technology. Finally, it was renamed Yuhua University in the 1990s, which had stayed that way ever since.
In some sense, the fate of this school was deeply tied to the republic.
Even though it wasn't a particularly good school, its engineering department was still at the forefront of the country. It also produced a large number of nuclear industry experts back in the day.
And now, it was still shining in its own light.
