My experience is full of twists and turns, and I am full of gratitude."
I am a master's student in statistics at Jinan University in September 2020, and I applied for a master's and doctor's degree in the School of Review at the end of 2021, and successfully became a 2022 Ph.D. student in Population, Resources and Environmental Economics. The process of applying for a PhD across disciplines is very difficult, but I am very grateful to Mr. Chen Zhongfei for giving me the opportunity to study for a PhD. Under the guidance of Mr. Chen, I quickly adapted to a completely new field of research and wrote a number of related articles. Due to the transfer of Mr. Chen's work, I was later transferred to Mr. He Lingyun's disciple. Professor He has extensive research experience in many fields such as international economy, environmental economy, energy economy, and agricultural economy. Whenever I have academic problems or some new ideas, Mr. He can always give valuable advice and guidance in a timely manner. This has been a huge help in improving my academic ability and expanding my research perspective. In my future research, I will continue to explore new theories and methods in population, resource and environmental economics, and provide scientific basis and policy recommendations for solving practical problems. At the same time, I will actively participate in academic exchanges and cooperation, and work with domestic and foreign counterparts to promote the development of this field.
Here, I would like to thank Prof. Chen Zhongfei and Prof. He Lingyun again for their support and guidance on my academic path, as well as the valuable platform given by the School of Economics of Jinan University. It was with these help and encouragement that I was able to successfully enter the doctoral stage and achieve certain research results. I will cherish this opportunity and continue to strive to improve my academic ability and make greater contributions to the academic community and society.
Only by planning time reasonably can we adapt to the increase in the intensity of Xi learning".
In the process of scientific research, my biggest feeling is the improvement of the intensity of learning Xi. Proper planning of rest time is the key to maintaining long-term scientific research vitality. Excessive work stress can easily lead to fatigue and feelings of loss, negatively affecting creativity and the ability to think. As a result, I learned to set a daily cap on the number of hours I could work, making sure I had enough time for rest and recreation to rejuvenate. In addition, I am also aware of the importance of frequent communication with teachers and classmates, and to avoid working behind closed doors, Mr. He organizes group meetings every Friday evening, so that students can speak freely and exchange their Xi learning. Mr. He's heuristic teaching method broadened my mind and broadened my thinking perspective. In daily life, Mr. He has a high personality charm, treats people kindly, and loves life. For example, when we meet with our teachers, he will urge us to maintain good health like a parent, emphasizing the importance of healthy and efficient scientific research. Studying for a PhD is a marathon, and in this competition, the competitors are actually their inner selves. It's not just an academic journey, it's a challenge to perseverance, wisdom and self-breakthrough.
Younger students, welcome to the Scholastic Academy to start a journey of scientific research".
The School of Economics of Jinan University has a high-level platform and a strong faculty, and the teachers are full of enthusiasm for scientific research. In terms of teaching, the content of the three high courses in the first year of the doctoral degree is rich and practical, and the teachers of the three high school teaching and research groups have a serious and responsible teaching attitude. They will manually write lecture notes and derive formulas based on existing literature and materials, focusing on explaining the cutting-edge content of research and expanding students' thinking skills, which provides students with a valuable learning Xi experience. In addition, the school will also organize seminars on Saturdays and Sundays to provide many opportunities for academic exchanges, here, I sincerely invite all doctoral students who apply for the School of Economics of Jinan University to join our big family, start their own scientific research journey, and contribute to the development of the academic community!
