Features: During the War of Resistance against Japan, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, higher education in the liberated areas experienced vigorous development. Various types of higher education institutions were established, training hundreds of thousands of revolutionary cadres and various specialized talents, which played a significant role in the war of resistance and construction efforts. These institutions shone brilliantly in the history of Chinese education.
