By the end of 1970, there were only 24 universities in Beijing after a lot of emigration and merger. Including: Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Aeronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel, Beijing Institute of Telecommunications Engineering (formerly Beijing Institute of Posts and Telecommunications), Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology, Beijing Institute of Chemical Fiber Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing Medical College, Beijing College of Chinese Medicine, Beijing Medical College (formerly Beijing Second Medical College), Beijing Normal University, Beijing Normal University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, beijing international studies university, Minzu University of China, Beijing Institute of Physical Education, Central Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory of Music, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy. Among the remaining 24 schools after adjustment, there are 2 comprehensive schools, a decrease of 33% compared with 1965; 8 engineering courses, a decrease of 56%; All agriculture and forestry have been lost; 3 medical schools, a decrease of 40%; 2 normal schools, a decrease of 33%; 2 languages, a decrease of 60%; Loss of all financial and economic categories; All political and legal categories are lost; 6 fine arts categories, a decrease of14%; Sports 1 has not decreased.

1970, of the 24 reserved institutions, only 6 are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Aeronautics, Beijing Medical College, Beijing College of Chinese Medicine and Beijing Normal University. Four years later, the remaining 18 schools have not resumed enrollment.

After 1970, there have been several small-scale adjustments in universities in Beijing. For example, in August of 197 1, Beijing merged Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology into Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology, and after 1978, the Chemical Fiber Institute resumed its independent operation. 1973, the Ministry of Culture merged Beijing Central Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory of Music, Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy into a Central May 7th Art University, with the former Beijing Agricultural Labor University's school building in Changping as its headquarters. At the end of 1977, the May 7th Art College of the Central Committee was dissolved, and the schools resumed running independently.

In this great change that lasted for several years, more than half of the universities that moved abroad moved more than twice, and the most relocated schools, such as Beijing Forestry College, moved as many as four times. Many of these institutions of higher learning are large-scale national key universities. In many relocations, the school assets accumulated after ten or even decades of hard work suffered heavy losses, books, materials, instruments and equipment were lost and damaged in large quantities, and a large amount of investment was wasted on the construction of simple school buildings and relocation and transportation. The spirit of faculty and staff is tortured and their health is seriously affected.

The closed schools also suffered huge losses. After the suspension, all the faculty and staff of the school were decentralized to cadre schools located all over the country, and they also experienced large-scale relocation activities. In the following years, due to the closure of schools, faculty members were assigned to different work units in different regions, and a large number of senior intellectuals interrupted or gave up their majors. Due to the evacuation, the buildings and assets of these schools in Beijing were allocated to different units for other purposes than education, leaving many problems and causing many contradictions and disputes after the school resumed classes. Some losses become irreparable permanent regrets.

Higher education institutions that have not been cancelled or relocated have also suffered turmoil during this period. According to the general spirit of streamlining evacuation at that time, a considerable number of faculty and staff in various schools went to cadre schools in other places, and some teachers went to cadre schools for five or six years, which was also abandoned and unfamiliar with their majors and teaching. Many teachers suffered from endemic diseases or infectious diseases such as Keshan disease and schistosomiasis in the process of decentralization, which greatly affected their health.

This great change in Beijing's universities during the "Cultural Revolution" has caused great impact and destruction on higher education in Beijing and even the whole country, and its influence has not completely disappeared in the past two decades. It is impossible to accurately count all kinds of losses during this period. From the perspective of cultivating talents, universities in Beijing only enrolled more than 70,000 students during the Cultural Revolution. Based on the enrollment of 1.965, during the period of 10, there will be as many as 200,000 professionals who should have been trained but not trained in Beijing universities, resulting in a serious talent gap in national construction.
