Caused by multiple factors. Government, local economy and finance, historical background, people's attitude towards higher education and so on. Look at the following article, and you will know the embarrassment of Henan with a population of over 100 million in colleges and universities across the country. China University of Science and Technology and Henan, the past is not like smoke. During the period of 1969, China University of Science and Technology, which was interested in moving to Henan, met with indifference from Henan authorities, but Li Desheng, then director of Anhui Revolutionary Committee, took the initiative to go to this prestigious school. History is ironic. Li Desheng's hometown is Henan. Since then, China University of Science and Technology has become the pride and opportunity of Anhui, and the regret and pain of Henan for many years.

1969, Sino-Soviet border conflict. According to the situation, the central government decided to carry out "combat readiness evacuation", and China University of Science and Technology was included in 13 universities in Beijing by the State Council Science and Education Group. According to Professor Cai Youzhi, one of the Standing Committee members of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, "In late September, I went to Shashi, Hubei Province and Henan Province in two groups to find evacuation addresses. Shashi has Academy of Sciences Cadre School, and Henan Group has a personal letter from Liu Xiyao, head of the State Council Science and Education Group, to Henan Province. I am a member of the team going to Henan. Thanks to a personal letter from Comrade Liu Xiyao, we were received by the leader of the provincial production command group. He invited us to visit Nanyang. During the conversation, we realized that they were not active in HKUST's coming to Henan. We visited many places around Nanyang and Deng County. Comrades in the area said: there is a lot of land, 3,000 mu and 5,000 mu is no problem, and we in Nanyang are unable to accept a university. When the two groups of site selection personnel returned to Beijing, they all said that there were no conditions to go to these two places. Then divide into two groups, one to Jiangxi and the other to Anhui. I am a member of Jiangxi team. After I arrived in Jiangxi province, the province made it clear that it could not accept HKUST. After seeing it in Xuancheng area, the comrades who chose the site in Anhui felt that it was not possible. Before the two groups of personnel returned to Beijing, they received a notice from Anqing City, Anhui Province. " In the meantime, it was Li Desheng, the leader of Anhui Province, who acted quickly and won the China University of Science and Technology to Anqing. China University of Science and Technology refused to go because of the poor conditions in Anqing, so Li Desheng vacated the school buildings of Hefei Normal College and Bank Cadre School for China University of Science and Technology.

According to the history of China University of Science and Technology, the school was originally moved to Nanyang, Henan, and later changed to Anqing, Anhui. It can also be seen from Liu Xiyao's special letter to Henan that China University of Science and Technology wants to be built in Henan. The reason why Henan rejected the most authoritative statement of China University of Science and Technology was that it was afraid that university teachers and students would crowd out the non-staple food rations in Henan.

When Yang Tingbao, a Nanyang-born architect, presided over the planning of the Hesong Campus of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, I think he must feel bad.

Later, China University of Science and Technology wanted to move back to Beijing many times. After all, it depends on the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but Anhui Province has been trying to retain it, so it failed. Anhui province has also won the decentralization of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and become a famous city for science and education. Anhui has two national science projects: National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and Hefei National Laboratory of Microscale Materials Science. And Henan doesn't even have a national key laboratory.

Coincidentally, China Geo University wanted to settle in Pingdingshan, Henan, but it was also missed by Henan.

The regret that Henan missed China University of Science and Technology is only superficial consciousness. Henan's small-scale peasant thought is in the bones, unconscious and not so easy to get rid of.

Miss the beginning of the ten-year reform and opening up of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, it was devastated, and the strength of higher education in each province was almost the same. But then, Henan did not win the state investment, nor did it accelerate its development, and was far behind by the brother provinces. There are eight in Shanxi Province, eleven in Heilongjiang Province and only five in Henan Province. Is Henan's investment in education commensurate with Henan's GDP? Does Henan attach importance to education?
