The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is the top public research university in Asia and enjoys an international reputation. It is a world-class academic center in China's research, biomedical science, information science, economy and finance, geographic information, earth science and other key research fields.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the only university in Hong Kong that has won the Nobel Prize, Fields Prize and Turing Prize. With the tenet of "combining tradition with modernity, blending Chinese and Western" and the characteristics of both Chinese and English, the school is a member of Pacific Rim University Alliance, World University Alliance, Asia-Pacific International Education Association, Song Alliance and China University Presidents Association, the first AACSB certified member in Asia, and the location of Hong Kong Internet Exchange Center. ?
The establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong broke the iron law that only one university was allowed in the British Empire colony, and at the same time set off the Chinese movement in Hong Kong, successfully ending the situation that English monopolized the official language. It is not only a watershed in British colonial history, but also one of the symbols of Asian decolonization in the 20th century, which has certain significance in the times.
As the leading institution of higher learning in Hong Kong and even Asia and the main position of contemporary neo-Confucianism, CUHK has gathered a large number of academic masters such as Qian Mu, Lin Yutang, Tsung i Jao and Yang Zhenning, and trained outstanding talents from all walks of life represented by historian Yu Yingshi, mathematician Qiu Chengtong and banker Zheng Haiquan.
