Tsinghua University's founding background:

1June 900, "Eight-Nation Alliance" invaded China. 190 1 In September, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty", which compensated 450 million taels of silver, and was called "boxer indemnity" in history. 1904, the United States said that the compensation received was "already too much" and could be used for "dropping out of education". After many discussions, China and the United States decided on matters related to the refund of school fees in 1908.

James, the president of the University of Illinois in the United States, wrote a passage in the memorandum to the President of the United States on 1906, which reflected the real purpose of running a school with a refund in the United States: "We will certainly be able to control the development of China in the most perfect and ingenious way-that is, in the way that we dominate the leaders of China intellectually and spiritually." "For business, following spiritual rule is more reliable than following military flags."
