The High School Affiliated to Renmin University Of China (; Pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Dàxué Fùshŭ Zhōngxué), colloquially Rendafuzhong abbreviated to RDFZ (), is the affiliated high school of Renmin University of China, and is one of the most prestigious high schools in Beijing. It is the sister school of Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, Phillips Academy in Massachusetts, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Illinois, and Punahou Academy in Honolulu. RDFZ is situated in Haidian District of Beijing, and also in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Zone. It is among one of the beacon high schools accredited by Beijing Municipal Government. The school is also a member of the G20 Schools Group. ==History== In the 1950s, due to the specific political and cultural backgrounds at that time, the government felt the need to establish middle school for blue-collar workers and farmers to increase their labor skills. Thus, the school, originally named ''Beijing Experimental Fast Track Middle School for Workers and Farmers'', was founded directly by the Ministry of Education in January 1950. After only three months of preparation, the school welcomed its first group of students on April 3, 1950. Since it has the duty to experiment, discover and establish the paradigm of education for blue-collar workers and farmers, the word ''Experimental'' was placed in the name of the school. The matriculation ceremony was somewhat grand, the then minister of the Ministry of Education, Ma Xulun attended the event with his deputies of which one delivered a speech during the ceremony. The number one state newspaper - "People's Daily" also reported the event. In 1952, the school was renamed to ''Workers and Farmers' Fast Track Middle School Affiliated to Renmin University of China'' due to the change of its direct governing body. The school stopped admitting blue-collar workers and farmers from 1955 and started teaching normal high school classes. A short change of governing body occurred in July 1956. The school was transferred to Beijing Education Bureau but later transferred back to Renmin University in April 1958 when the school was renamed to ''Workers and Farmers' High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China'' which meant that the school had become a proper high school. The phrase ''Workers and Farmers'' was retained because of the fact that there were still worker and farmer students in the school. The school started admitting 9th grade from 1960. Which means that the school had transferred itself from a senior high only High School to a junior high included high school. The name of the school was finally decided to be ''High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China''. With the last group of worker and farmer students graduated in 1963, the school's teaching system was settled. Anti-intellectualism flourished in mainland China in the 1970s due to the well-known cultural revolution. As one of the many victims, Renmin University of China was forced to close by ''Beijing Revolution Committee'' in October 1970. As a direct impact, the school had no choice but to change its name to ''Beijing No.172 Middle School''. The jurisdiction of the school was transferred to ''Haidian Education Bureau''. With Renmin University of China reopened in 1978, the school reaffirmed its affiliation to the university. The name of the school was changed back. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
