There is a university, which was renamed "Sichuan United University" because of the merger at that time. It can be called "the most shocking 985 University", which is now Sichuan University. In this century, many universities in China are merging and renaming, some of which are super successful (Zhejiang University, Wuhan University, Central South University) and some are very successful (Beijing Technology and Business University, Southwest Medical University, capital university of economics and business).
Sichuan University, located in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and the Central Government. It ranks among the national "2 1 1 project", "985 project" and "the first class of world-class university construction", and is also a high-level research-oriented comprehensive university with national layout and key construction in the west.
The history of Sichuan University began in 1896, when Lu Yiguang, then governor of Sichuan Province, founded Sichuan Chinese and Western School for a special purpose. It is the earliest modern institution of higher learning in southwest China. 1994, the former Sichuan University and the former Chengdu University of Technology were merged into "Sichuan United University", and 1998 was renamed Sichuan University. In 2000, it merged with the former West China University of Medical Sciences to form a new "Sichuan University".
It is said that when the original Sichuan University and Chengdu University of Technology merged, the other party didn't want to. Later, the name of the school was changed to "Sichuan United University", which led to the over-enrollment of Sichuan University in that year. It was not only named Ren Lei, but also made many people think that "Sichuan United University" was three universities.
It is rumored that the merger of West China University of Medical Sciences was not smooth sailing. You know, Huaxi scored higher than Tsinghua at that time, and was once dubbed as "those who wear suits despise those who wear hats". However, after the merger, Xinchuan University made a fortune.
