The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University(Chinese: 湖南师范大学附属中学; pinyin: Húnán Shīfàn Dàxué Fùshŭ Zhōngxué), colloquially known in Chinese as '湖南师大附中'(Húnán Shīdà Fùzhōng), is a famous public secondary school located in Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Province, China.
Founded in 1905 by Yu Zhimo, a leader of the Chinese democratic revolution, the school was initially named ‘Weiyi School’(惟一学堂, literally 'Unique school"). Later, in 1912, it got a new name of 'Guang Yi Middle School', which is still valid. Throughout its history, the school’s name, as well as its location, has been changed for a few times mainly due to Anti-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War. Eventually, since September 1984, 'The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University' has been in effect.
As its name implies, the school is 'attached to', or 'affiliated with' Normal University, which gives the privilege of employing the best college graduates. Therefore, the school is well known for its top-ranking quality in teaching all over the country. It has produced a lot of notable people in China, such as former Premier Minister of China, Zhu Rongji and several academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. The school and other three prestigious high schools in Changsha, are recognized "the Famous Four".

Famous quotes containing the words high, school, attached, normal and/or university:
“The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“I came to love my rows, my beans, though so many more than I wanted. They attached me to the earth, and so I got strength like Antæus. But why should I raise them? Only Heaven knows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Philosophically, incest asks a fundamental question of our shifting mores: not simply what is normal and what is deviant, but whether such a thing as deviance exists at all in human relationships if they seem satisfactory to those who share them.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“Fowls in the frith,
Fishes in the flood,
And I must wax wod:
Much sorrow I walk with
For best of bone and blood.”
—Unknown. Fowls in the Frith. . .
