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
The school was established in 1939 in Beipei, just outside the wartime capital of Chongqing, by educator Tao Xingzhi. A leader of one of the two CCP cells at Tao’s school recalled that Tao and his patron Feng Yuxiang helped 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 fellow Anhui natives Feng and Zhang Zhizong.
The school was used to test Tao's theories on comprehensive education, and it 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.
