About Hebei City

Shijiazhuang is the capital and largest city of North China's Hebei Province. Shijiazhuang is a comparatively young city. It was an unimportant town until the building of the Zhengding-Taiyuan and Beijing-Hankou railways saw it become an important regional transport hub.

It is situated south of the Hutuo River in the west-central part of the province, on the edge of the North China Plain and at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, which lie to the west. Shijiazhuang is located at an advantageous location as it is very close to both Tianjin (about 1hr 30min by fast train) and Beijing (about 1hr by fast train). Shijiazhuang city administers eight districts, two county-level cities, and 12 counties. As of 2015 it had a total population of 10,701,600 with 4,303,700 in the central (or metro) area comprising the seven districts and the county of Zhengding largely. Shijiazhuang's total population is ranked twelfth in mainland China. Shijiazhuang is the capital and main economic center of Hebei and a relatively important city in China.

ABOUT HEBEI UNIVERSITY

Hebei Medical University (abbreviated as HMU), formerly known as the Beiyang Medical School, is one of the high ranking universities in Hebei Province. Founded by the Governor Li Hongzhang in Tianjin in 1894, Hebei Medical University was the very first western medical school established by the government. One year after the Revolution of 1911, in October of 1912, the government of the Republic of China issued the No.16 and No. 25 order, which changed the university’s name from Beiyang Medical School to Zhili Public Medical College. And the College began to enroll undergraduates in the same year. Three years later, the college moved from Tianjin to Baoding in 1915. On July 7th 1937, with the outburst of the full-scale invasion from Japan, China became the main battlefield of the Second World War in East Asia. The College was forced to be closed due to the war. The College re-opened and re-admitted students again in January 1946. In April 1949, the college was renamed Hebei Medical College. In 1958, the college moved from Baoding to Shijiazhuang. In 1995, Hebei Medical College, Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Junior Medical College of Shijiazhuang merged into one school, which was named Hebei Medical University. In 2013, Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine became a stand-alone institution again. In 2016, HMU got endorsed by the Ministry of Education, National Health and Family Planning Commission, and Hebei Province for joint support. During the 13th 5-Year Plan period, HMU set the goal as “To become a high-level medical university with a distinctive feature”.

In the past 120 years and especially through over 30 years of development after China’s reform and opening up to the outside world, adhering to the tradition “respect virtues and profession, and be rigorous and creative”, Hebei Medical University has become a comprehensive medical university, encompassing teaching, research and healthcare services. In 2005, HMU came up with the new motto “Benevolence, Erudition, Integrity, and Flexibility”. In 2015, "Student centered, teacher first’ was also set as the university’s educational rationale. Up to now, HMU has two campuses, and five affiliated hospitals, with 14 colleges and 18 undergraduate majors.
