This prominent Chinese university's history stretches back to 1912, predating its current form established in 2004. Its roots lie in three distinct institutions reflecting the needs of a burgeoning modern China. The Nantong Medical Specialized School, founded by the visionary industrialist and educator Zhang Jian, was one of the earliest medical colleges in the country. It embodied Zhang Jian's belief in education as a cornerstone of national progress. Another pillar of the university's foundation is the Nantong Textile Specialized School, also established by Zhang Jian in 1912. This institution addressed the growing need for skilled professionals in China's burgeoning textile industry.  The third leg of the university's legacy comes from the Nantong Normal College, founded in 1958.  This institution focused on nurturing talented educators to guide future generations. In 2004, these three institutions with their rich and complementary histories merged to form the current comprehensive university. This merger brought together expertise in medicine, science, technology, and education, creating a powerhouse for well-rounded learning. The university continues to honor the legacy of its founders, emphasizing practical application of knowledge alongside theoretical understanding.
