Yucai Middle School (Chinese: 育才中学; Pinyin: Chóngqìng Yùcái Zhōngxué) is a secondary school in Chongqing, China.
Yucai School
"Yucai" (育才) means "education" in Chinese so there are many schools named Yucai in China.
History
In 1939, the school was established by educationalist Tao Xingzhi in Beipei, just outside Chongqing, the wartime capital. A leader of one of the two CCP cells at Tao’s school recalled that Tao and his patron, Feng Yuxiang gave help to party workers when they were hunted by the secret police, and that Tao professed interest in Mao’s “On New Democracy.” Tao received monthly stipends from Feng and Zhang Zhizong, both fellow Anhui natives.
It was used to test Tao's theories on comprehensive education, and included six groups: natural science, social studies, literature, painting, music, and drama. Because of its success, many other Chinese schools use the name "Yucai".
Notable alumni
- Li Peng (b. 1928, adopted son of Zhou Enlai) chairman of the National People's Congress, involved in the suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
