Currently, while college entrance examination candidates from various regions are busy filling out their applications, a fictional university called "Shanhe University" has become popular online. According to reports, "Shanhe University" originated from a joke made by netizens -3.43 million candidates from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei provinces, each paying 1000 yuan, totaling over 3 billion yuan, can create a comprehensive university at the border of the four provinces, catering to the enrollment of "Shanhe Four Provinces". For a moment, the fictional official website, motto, emblem, departments, and enrollment brochures of "Shanhe University" were relay designed by netizens. Shanhe University has also become a hot topic on online social media platforms. The popularity of "Shanhe University" as a fictional university is not only a joke from netizens, but also reflects people's imagination and expectations for the development of higher education in China, as well as their concern and reflection on the allocation of higher education resources. In fact, the allocation and flow of higher education resources in China has always been a focus of social attention. On the one hand, the uneven distribution of the number and quality of universities has led to the phenomenon of "left behind students" and "migrant students" in some regions; On the other hand, the contradiction between supply and demand in higher education is also an urgent problem to be solved. In response to the aforementioned pain points, relevant personnel from provinces such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong have repeatedly called for an increase in resource allocation for the construction of local universities. Especially in these areas where the economy is constantly advancing to new levels, the development of first-class higher education has never broken through, and there is a problem of mismatch between higher education and the local socio-economic development level. In this context, the emergence of the fictional university "Shanhe University" is also everyone's expectation and call for the rational allocation and utilization of higher education resources. Of course, "Shanhe University" is only a fictional concept and cannot directly solve the problems faced by higher education, nor can it become a specific plan for the allocation and utilization of higher education resources. At the same time, even if such a university is established, a large amount of resources and funds need to be invested to ensure its teaching quality and research level, otherwise it is easy to overlook quality and effectiveness and become a "shell university". Therefore, the development of higher education requires more scientific and systematic planning and management, as well as more resources and investment. The government and universities should scientifically plan, reasonably allocate and utilize higher education resources, optimize the layout of universities, improve the quality and effectiveness of higher education, enhance the competitiveness of universities, strengthen cooperation and exchange between universities, and advocate rational online discussions and interactions to better promote the development of higher education. Overall, the popularity of "Shanhe University" is an optimistic imagination and a reflection on the allocation and utilization of higher education resources. Further promoting educational equity and balanced development of educational resources nationwide will have a greater significance than just one province and one place, providing more students in the central and western regions with the opportunity to enjoy high-quality higher education resources. Relevant departments should cherish this enthusiasm, use online platforms to strengthen interaction and communication with society, listen to the voices and suggestions of society, and adopt scientific and systematic solutions to better respond to the needs and expectations of society, promote the development of higher education, and enable more people to benefit from higher education.
