Shanghai University is a comprehensive university under the jurisdiction of Shanghai and a key construction project of the national "211 Project". It is a university jointly built by the Ministry of Education and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, one of the first batch of high-level local universities in Shanghai, and a national first-class discipline construction university. Founded on October 23, 1922, Shanghai University is the first regular university founded by the Communist Party of China. The school overcame various difficulties and ran the school with difficulty, attracting enthusiastic young people from all over the world to gather, gathering and cultivating a large number of outstanding talents for China's revolution and construction, and won the reputation of "Shanghai University for literature and Huangpu for martial arts" and "Beijing University in the May Fourth Movement in the north and Shanghai University in the May Thirtieth Movement in the south". Sun Yat-sen, Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong and others cared about the construction of the school, either serving as school directors, or appointing talents, or guiding the work.
Yu Youren, Qu Qiubai, Deng Zhongxia, Shao Lizi, Chen Wangdao and others led the development of the school, recruited talents, planned disciplines, or took charge of teaching affairs. The "red professors" represented by Qu Qiubai, Deng Zhongxia, Cai Hesen, Zhang Tailei, Yun Daiying, Ren Bishi, Shi Cuntong, Xiao Chu'nu, Shen Yanbing, Tian Han, Jiang Guangci and others actively spread Marxism-Leninism, making Shanghai University the "highest revolutionary institution in the southeast" that revolutionary youth yearned for.
In the 1920s, Shanghai University implemented the school's mission of "cultivating talents for nation-building and promoting cultural undertakings", and achieved remarkable results and was full of talents. Yang Shangkun, Wang Jiaxiang, Qin Bangxian, Guan Xiangying, Li Shuoxun, Wang Buwen, Liu Hua, He Bingyi, Yang Hansheng, Ding Ling, Dai Wangshu, Kuang Yaming, Yang Zhihua, Zhang Qinqiu, Zhong Fuguang, Shi Zhecun, Wang Yizhi and others all came from here. Among them are leaders of the Party and the country, martyrs who died for the country, famous social activists, first-class scholars, writers, playwrights, poets, etc. They have made outstanding contributions in the dissemination of Marxist theory, social science research, and popularization of natural sciences. In May 1983, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government decided to merge six schools, including Fudan University Branch, Shanghai International Studies University Branch, East China Normal University Instrument and Electronic Branch, Shanghai University of Science and Technology Branch, Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering Light Industry Branch, and Shanghai Fine Arts School, to reopen Shanghai University (referred to as the former Shanghai University).
In May 1994, the new Shanghai University was established by merging Shanghai University of Technology (founded in 1960), Shanghai University of Science and Technology (founded in 1958), the former Shanghai University (founded in 1983) and Shanghai Institute of Technology (founded in 1959). The teachers and students of Shanghai University are determined to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of Shanghai University in the 1920s and make greater contributions to the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Professor Qian Weichang, a famous scientist, educator, outstanding social activist and senior academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, became the president of Shanghai University of Technology in 1983 and the president of Shanghai University from 1994 to 2010. His unique educational ideas and school management strategies have created a new situation of ideological liberation and academic prosperity for the school and promoted the new development of various undertakings of the school.
