Zhenze Middle School
Zhenze Middle School (震泽中学) was established in 1923, by two brothers, Shi Zhaozeng (施肇曾) and Shi Zhaoji (施肇基). It located in Zhenze, which is a small town in Wujiang, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. History
In 1923, the school was established as a private junior high school. Ten years later, the senior high school branch was added, with the name of Yuying (), which meant to cultivate talents. In 1937, Yuying High School was set up in Shanghai. In 1945, the whole school changed its name to Yuying Middle School, including the Yuying High School in Shanghai, which started to exist as a branch campus. The school had been private until 1953, when the government reformed it and removed the high school branch. The school gained a new life as Zhenze Junior High, Wujiang. Five years later in 1958, the name changed again to Zhenze Middle School, with the reestablishment of the high school branch. In 1990, the junior high branch was removed. Thus it became a high school only under the name of middle school. Such situation lasted until 2007, when Zhenze No.1 Middle School, which was a junior high school, was combined with the school. In 2003, the school obtained a new name, Zhenze Middle School, Jiangsu Province. That means that it is named after the name of the province, which is an excellent honor for any school in China. The name lasts until now. In 2007, the high school branch moved to the new campus in the capital of Wujiang, with the junior branch left in Zhenze. Layout
