Fudan now means to strive for self-improvement, and pinned the hope of China intellectuals to run their own schools and educate a powerful country.

The word Fudan comes from the phrase "the sun and the moon compete for brilliance, and the sun comes out" in the biography of Shang Shu Yu Xia. Its original intention was to restore light and the sun came out. ?

Fudan University, located in Shanghai, is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education of People's Republic of China (PRC) and a comprehensive research university. Jointly established by the Ministry of Education and Shanghai, it ranks among the "double first-class", "985 Project" and "21/engineering" universities in China.

Fudan University was founded in 1905 and formerly known as Fudan College. It is the first institution of higher learning independently founded by China people through private fund-raising in China. At the suggestion of Yu Youren, the name "Fudan" was extracted from the book Biography of Yu Xia and renamed as "Fudan Public School", indicating that the old "four years" were not forgotten, and it also meant to restore China and advocate learning to save the country.

Fudan freshmen, after the crisis, fell into the dilemma of disintegration several times; During the Anti-Japanese War, the school moved from Jiangxi to Chongqing. However, the unity of teachers and students finally made Fudan develop from a preparatory school into a well-known university in China. After Fudan 1949, it rose rapidly. In the adjustment of colleges and departments in colleges and universities across the country, famous teachers have gathered in the new Fudan University, and the strength of the school has doubled.

After the reform and opening up, Fudan seized the opportunity to gradually develop from a liberal arts university into a multidisciplinary research-oriented comprehensive university; At the beginning of the 20th century, Fudan University and Shanghai Medical University merged and started the process of "building a world-class university".

The school has formed a three-legged discipline pattern of arts, science and medicine, and its school-running strength has been further enhanced. Fudan has developed into a comprehensive research university with ten disciplines, including philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, medicine and management.
