During the 2021 Shanghai People’s Congress, deputies suggested to change the station name to Donghua University. Wang Hongzhi, vice dean of the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Donghua University, argued that the names of metro stations should reflect local and cultural landmarks, including universities.^[4]
