Wuchang Chunghua University (Chinese: 武昌中華大學; pinyin: Wǔchāng Zhōnghuá Dàxué; lit. 'Wuchang University of China') was the first private university in China to be independently founded by individuals without help from government or foreigners. It was founded in 1912 by Chen Shi (Chinese: 陳時) and his father Chen Xuankai (Chinese: 陳宣愷),[1] and migrated to Chongqing during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[2] After the Chinese Communist Revolution, Chunghua University was merged with Huachung University and Chung Yuan University to form today's Central China Normal University in 1952. Its old campus was left to Wuchang Wenhua Middle School.[3]
