When Huang Ziwen was in middle school, the student movement in Shaanxi was on the rise.At that time, Xi'an, Sanyuan, Suide, and Hanzhong were known as the four centers of revolutionary activity in Shaanxi.Among the teachers teaching in "Weibei Middle School", "Class A Industrial School", the provincial "Third Normal School" and "Sanyuan County Middle School", the vast majority are graduates and graduates of several universities in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.
