Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering (simplified Chinese: 仲恺农业工程学院; traditional Chinese: 仲恺农业工程学院; pinyin: Zhòng kăi nóng yè gōng chéng xué yuàn) is a university in Guangzhou, China that specializes in training agricultural technicians. It is named after Liao Zhongkai, a leading figure in the founding of modern China and a close associate of Sun Yat-sen. The university consists of three campuses (Haizhu Campus, Baiyun Campus, and an experimental farm) with a total area of {{convert|1,114.7|km2}}. Founded in 1927, Zhongkai University is one of Guangzhou’s oldest institutions of higher education.

History

As Zhongkai Agricultural and Industrial School, the university was founded in 1927 in honor of Liao Zhongkai, a close associate of Sun Yat-Sen and a leader in the founding of the Republic of China. He Xiangning, widow of Liao and a noted figure in Chinese revolutionary history, served as the first university president for 15 years.

The university’s initial mission was to improve knowledge about agriculture for food production in China but eventually expanded to form a rounded offering of science and liberal arts, while keeping its principal focus on agriculture and engineering.

Construction and development was overseen and supported by a number of China’s leaders, including Ye Jianying, Deng Xiao Ping, Yang Shangkun and Wang Shen. Each wrote epigraphs for campus landmarks such as the Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning Memorial Museum and the Liao Zhongkai Monument.

In March 2008, with the approval of the Chinese Ministry of Education, it was renamed Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering.
