Chongqing Qinghua Middle School (重庆 清华 中学 chóng-qìng qīng-huá zhōng-xué) is located on the south ramp way of Lijiatuo Bridge in Lijiatuo Town, Banan District, Chongqing City, People's Republic of China, beside the Huaxi River.

History

The school was established in 1938 under the direction of Dong Biwu, a proletariat revolutionary, with the help of Tsinghua University schoolfellows who stayed in Chongqing.[1] After the Liberation, it was managed by the government and the name changed to "Ninth Middle School Of Chongqing". In 1982, it became a key secondary school of Sichuan Province. In 1984, the name was changed back to "Chongqing Qinghua Middle School". At the same time, Deng Yingchao inscribed the name of the school.

In February 1999, the school was named as the first batch of Key Secondary Schools of Chongqing by the Chongqing Government.
