Jilin Yuwen High School
Jilin Yuwen High School (Chinese: 吉林毓文中学; pinyin: Jílín Yùwén Zhōngxué), also known as Yuwen Middle School, is a high school in the Chinese city of Jilin City, Jilin Province. The school is situated next to the Songhua River. The school was center of left-wing political thought during the 1920s.
Among prominent alumni is Kim Il Sung, the first leader of North Korea. There is a museum, a schoolroom memorial and a statue dedicated to him at the school. There is also a slogan proclaiming Sino-Korean friendship on the roof.
The school was founded in 1917. The school was heavily influenced by left-wing ideology in the late 1920s, and was described as the most progressive in the city. Many prominent Chinese left-wing intellectuals have taught in the school, including Guo Moruo and Shang Yue.
In 1964 Deng Xiaoping allowed the school to continue use the name "Yuwen".
In 1978 Jilin Province officials approved Yuwen as the focus of the first run high school,[clarification needed] and in 2003 the local government identified the school as a model high school.
Since 2005 there has been an international cooperation program with Australia. There have also been recent cultural exchanges with schools from countries such as United States and Japan.
North Korean president Kim Il Sung attended the school for two and a half years starting from 1927. The school was described as the most progressive in the city of Jilin. Kim organized protests against "reactionary teachers" and Japanese-made goods in 1928. Kim was part of the South Manchurian Communist Youth Association there in 1929. Kim was arrested in the spring of 1929 and was consequentially expelled from the school.
Kim Il Sung struggled to continue his studies in Yuwen High School. He had to live in a cheap dormitory owned by the Methodist Church, as recalled by his younger friend from the school. Kim survived from his mother's modest earnings after his father died. Kim wrote in his memoirs that he tried to spare his only pair of shoes for school by walking barefoot. Kim also complained about the blatant nature of the class society of Jilin.
