About Chinese University of Hong Kong
According to Wikipedia, The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the first public research university in Hong Kong. It was founded as a federation of three existing colleges – Chung Chi College, New Asia College and United College – the oldest of which was founded in 1949. The Chung Chi College was a consolidation of thirteen Christian universities in China before the change of regime in 1949. These thirteen Christian universities include Zhejiang University in Hangzhou established in 1845, St. John's University in Shanghai established in 1879, Lingnan University in Guangzhou established in 1888, and the Yenching University established in 1919. The Chinese University of Hong Kong, therefore, holds the deepest historical roots, positioning CUHK as the most historically rich institution of higher education in Hong Kong.
