The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University (Chinese: 湖南师范大学附属中学; pinyin: Húnán Shīfàn Dàxué Fùshŭ Zhōngxué), colloquially known in Chinese as '湖南师大附中'(Húnán Shīdà Fùzhōng), is a famous, first-tier key public secondary school located in Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Province, China, and is one of the most selective schools in the nation. The competitive admission is mainly based on the score in city-wide or province-wide standardized tests as well as talent in science, music, sports, and the arts.
Founded in 1905 by Yu Zhimo, a leader of the Chinese democratic revolution, the school was initially named ‘Weiyi School’(惟一学堂, literally 'Unique school"). Later, in 1912, it got a new name of 'Guang Yi Middle School', which is still valid. Throughout its history, the school’s name, as well as its location, has been changed for a few times mainly due to Anti-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War. Eventually, since September 1984, 'The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University' has been in effect. As its name implies, the school is 'attached to', or 'affiliated with' Normal University, which gives the privilege of employing the best college graduates. Therefore, the school is well known for its top-ranking quality in teaching all over the country. It has produced a lot of notable people in China, such as former Premier Minister of China, Zhu Rongji and several academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. The school and other three prestigious high schools in Changsha (including First High School of Changsha, Changjun High School and Yali School), are recognized "the Famous Four".
