History

In the early 1950s, Yang Yupu (Simplified Chinese:杨玉璞) proposed that a senior high school be built in the Beichen District. Yang Yupu was the father of Yang Liandi (杨连弟) and the Municipal People's Representative of Tianjin. The school was established in 1954 as the first suburban Middle School and was financially supported by the government. In 1978, it was confirmed as one of the 19 top senior High Schools in Tianjin.

The school was split into two in 1997, becoming Huachen Middle School and Tianjin No. 47 High School. In 2002 the High School section relocated and it became a demonstration school. In 2012, Peking University ranked it as one of the best senior High Schools in China.

The School Anthem

Part 1

Beside the Beiyun River,
Hometown of heroes.
Beautiful ourselves,
Facing the sunrise.
Fighting and chasing,
Mist and starlight.
Love of gardening,
Is the sweetest thing.
Oh!
Golden cradle,
Where students are taught.
Blown sail,
Where life starts sailing.

Part 2

Towards the storm,
Overcome the waves.
Marching ourselves,
Are bright and brave forevermore.
Nation in deep heart,
Respect and improve.
Teachers stand with students,
To build a glorious future.
Oh!
Golden age,
Which is also with difficulties.
Resplendent period,
Which the eagle is flying over.
