No, Yu Min, a native of Tianjin, originally studied in Muzhai Middle School. He showed excellent learning ability and attracted the attention of his teacher Liu Xingyi. He was worried that the teaching conditions of Muzhai Middle School could not meet Yu Min's learning needs, so he helped him transfer to the best Hua Yao Middle School in Tianjin at that time and read the third grade of senior high school. Chen Keqian said: "At that time, Hua Yao Middle School had a group of teachers with rich teaching experience and rich books, which made him feel at home."

There are two teachers in middle school who have great influence on Min's way of thinking and learning. One is Wang Shouhui, a Chinese teacher who teaches classical poetry, which made Yu Min interested in classical poetry and laid a solid foundation of classical literature and humanistic accomplishment. The other is Zhao, a math teacher. He asked students to know not only why, but also why. Chen Keqian said: "Although Yu Min only studied in Hua Yao Middle School for one year, his influence is indelible, which laid the foundation for his outstanding contribution in scientific and technological work. This is also an important reason why Yu Min always puts Hua Yao Middle School in the first place when he mentions his alma mater.
