In 1936, the site of Sun Yat-sen University, Shipai, was surrounded by rural areas, which provided a prerequisite for its rural service experiment, and the establishment of an experimental area near the university made it easy for staff and students to go to carry out their work. The students of Sun Yat-sen University then used the ten villages around Shipai as the experimental area.
