2. 1942- 1945 yenching university, which was closed by the Japanese invaders because of the outbreak of the Pacific War, moved to Chengdu to run a school and returned to Beiping to resume his studies after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In 1952, yenching university was abolished in the national adjustment of colleges and universities. In Hong Kong, in 195 1 year, representatives of Christian churches founded Chung Chi College (later one of the member colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong), inheriting the spirit of Yanda University and other mainland Christian universities. In Chinese mainland, after its assets were taken over by the central people's governments of People's Republic of China (PRC) and China, most of arts and sciences were merged into Peking University, engineering was merged into Tsinghua, and law school and sociology department were merged into Beijing Institute of Political Science and Law (now China University of Political Science and Law). The school building was taken over by Peking University, whose building is still a historical relic of yenching university.
Yanda was born during the May 4th Movement. As an important representative of China's higher education in that era, it had an indissoluble bond with the patriotic and democratic movement of students from the very beginning. Since its establishment 33 years ago, this university has had a far-reaching impact on the development of modern higher education in China in many aspects, such as educational methods, curriculum, rules and regulations. No university is so deeply involved in China politics as yenching university, so that it is impossible to study the modern political history of China without bypassing yenching university. Many important events in modern China, such as the May 4th Movement, the Xi Incident, the civil war and the student movement, were all related to yenching university.
