Establishment

[edit]

Following China's defeat in theSino-Japanese War,intellectuals - includingKang Youwei,Liang Qichao,andYan Fu- called for reforms to the country's education system. In June 1896, Minister Li Duanfen proposed to create a university in the capital. On 11 June 1898, theGuangxu Emperor,as part of theHundred Days' Reform,authorised the creation of the Imperial University of Peking[6](Chinese:Kinh sư đại học đường;pinyin:Jīngshī Dàxuétáng;lit.'Capital Grand Study Hall').[7]The Imperial University was formally established on 3 July 1898 when the emperor approved theroyal charterwritten by Liang. MinisterSun Jianaiwas charged with the implementation. IUP served as the country's foremost institute for higher learning, but also as its highest educational authority.[6]William Alexander Parsons Martinwas appointed as the first president.[7]Most of the reforms were abolished when the conservativeEmpress Dowager Cixiseized power on 21 September. The university survived with altered objectives and reduced scope. It opened on 31 December with 160 students, instead of the planned 500.[6]

Following theXinhai Revolution,the Imperial University of Peking was renamed "Government University of Peking" in 1912 and then "National University of Peking" in 1919[7](simplified Chinese:Quốc lập bắc kinh đại học;traditional Chinese:Quốc lập bắc kinh đại học;pinyin:Guólì Běijīng Dàxué).

On May 1, 1919, some students of Peking University learned that the Treaty of Versailles would allow Japan to receive Germany's colonising rights in Shandong province. An assembly at Peking University that included these students and representatives from other universities in Beijing was quickly organised. On May 4, students from thirteen universities marched toTiananmento protest the terms ofTreaty of Versailles,demanded theBeiyang governmentto refuse to sign the treaty. Demonstrators also demanded the immediate resignation of three officials:Cao Rulin,Minister of theMinistry of Transportation,Zhang Zongxiang, China's Ambassador to Japan and Lu Zongyu, Minister of Currency, who they believed were in cooperation with Japanese. The protest ended up with some protesters being beaten and arrested, and Cao Rulin's house burned by protesters. Following the protest on May 4, students, workers and merchants from nearly all China's major cities went on strike and boycotted Japanese goods in China. TheBeiyang governmenteventually agreed to release the arrested students and fired the three officials under intense public pressure, China's representatives in Paris refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles.[10][failed verification]
