Xiangya Medical College was merged into a university in Hunan Province at that time. At that time, there was competition between Central South University and Hunan University, but the president of Xiangya Medical College asked to remain the president after the merger. The leaders of Hunan University disagreed, but the former president of Central South University voluntarily abdicated as the president of Xiangya Medical College. The comprehensive strength of Central South University with medical college soared and eventually became a double-class A university. Hunan university became a class b because of its shortcomings.
