The original Hainan University was established in 1983 with the approval of the State Council and the Ministry of Education. It was formed by merging advantageous disciplines and educational resources from the former Hainan Normal College, Hainan Medical College, and the Hainan Administrative Region Agricultural College (Hainan Agricultural College). Since the establishment of the school, with the strong support of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government as well as the generous sponsorship from overseas Chinese compatriots, the older generation of Hainan University builders worked hard to create a modern ，culturally rich and beautiful campus on more than 3,000 acres of coastal wasteland . It has become a key comprehensive university in Hainan Province with coordinated development of philosophy, economics, law, literature, science, engineering, agriculture, and management. It has achieved remarkable teaching and scientific research results, trained and provided a large number of high-level talents for Hainan, and actively contributed to the implementation of the "Revitalize Hainan through Science and Education" strategy.
