The Television University is Moving Ahead

Abstract

On the morning of February 6, 1979, an audience of several hundred thousand, with a joyful feeling of welcoming the newly arrived spring, sat in front of their television sets. This was the day when a joint opening ceremony was held by the Central Broadcast Television University and the various local broadcast and television universities. Leading comrades concerned from the Center and the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, as well as many well-known personages in the cultural and scientific fields, all came personally to extend their good wishes. On February 8, China's famous mathematician Hua Luogeng, chemist Li Su and English professor Li Funing separately taught the first lessons in mathematics, chemistry and English. From that time on, the Television University has turned a new page in China's socialist education undertaking with a brand new form and distinctive features.
