On a winter morning in Beijing, the weather was a bit cold. According to the agreed time, the reporter met Lin Guijun in his office in the Erduo Building of the University of Foreign Economics and Business. Seeing the reporter arriving, Lin Guijun enthusiastically made fragrant tea for the reporter and asked the reporter to sit with him around a small round table for the interview. Although Lin Guijun is in his sixties, his face looks rosy and his eyes are lively. In a short two-hour interview, the reporter felt that he was not only a cheerful and honest person, but also a famous scholar and teacher who focused on knowledge, worked hard, and was indifferent to fame and fortune. Two years ago, because of two terms of office and age, As a professor and doctoral supervisor of international w88, Lin Guijun happily resigned from his position as vice president of the w88 casino. After he retired, Lin Guijun suddenly felt that he had a lot more time at his disposal, but he still felt that there were too many things and many topics that he needed to do, study, and demonstrate every day. In his own words,“Every day is like a race against time”。
Work hard to realize your dreams
Lin Guijun was born inIn 1959, he grew up in the Northern Vehicle Research Institute in Fengtai District, Beijing. In this compound where intellectuals gathered, Lin Guijun was born in an ordinary family, and his parents did not receive much education. When he was a child, Lin Guijun not only had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was also smart and studious。
Before the age of thirteen, Lin Guijun was a member of the Fengtai District Youth Table Tennis Team and had a dream of becoming a table tennis player.In 1966, Lin Guijun Primary w88 casino was soon to catch up with the ten years of catastrophe“Cultural Revolution”, the result is that schools begin to close“Revolution”，w88 casino started in 1968“Resumption of classes and revolution”， But at that time, primary w88 casino students were often organized by schools“Study engineering and agriculture”, participate in productive labor. After the easing of Sino-US relations, He found that there was an English teaching program on the radio, So, he started to learn from it. When he was in high w88 casino, Lin Guijun excelled in both science and liberal arts. So, waitWhen he took the national college entrance examination in 1978, he fulfilled his wish by making his first choice and ranking first among foreign language candidates in Fengtai District, and was admitted to his favorite university—— Beijing Institute of International w88 (now the w88 casino) majors in international w88, a five-year undergraduate program. The reason why he chose the international w88 major because he loves English Because he feels that he can learn English by studying this major, You can also learn international w88. After entering college, the w88 casino divided the students into three classes: high, middle and low. Lin Guijun was lucky enough to be assigned to the high class because of his good English scores. But to Lin Guijun's expectation, when he waited for the final exam of the first semester of his freshman year, Lin Guijun ranked second to last in the class in English. This incident made Lin Guijun wake up. He found that the students in the class had different English proficiency starting points, I am young, but some of my classmates in the class are older. Some of them even worked as English translators before going to college. Lin Guijun was a man unwilling to lag behind, so he began“Evil remedy”English, almost to the point of burning the midnight oil to read. At that time, the w88 casino stipulated that every nightAt 22 o'clock, all the lights in the student dormitory building were turned off, so Lin Guijun, who still wanted to study English again, hid in a toilet in the w88 casino office building, borrowed the very bright light of the toilet, read English there alone, memorized vocabulary, and did not return to the dormitory until midnight. Hard work pays off.“Later, my English became the best in the class. WaitingIn 1982, when I was one year away from graduating from college, the w88 casino notified me in advance that I would stay in w88 casino (teaching)...”Speaking of this, a sense of pride appeared on Lin Guijun’s face.
After graduating from university, Lin Guijun became a teaching assistant at the w88 casino. At the same time, the w88 casino arranged for him to study while working and study as an on-the-job graduate student at the w88 casino. Before he could defend his postgraduate degree, Lin Guijun was sent by the w88 casino to study for a master's degree at Carleton University in Canada. In the end, he did not get a master's degree from the w88 casino, but he got a master's degree in economics from a famous foreign university.In 1987, Lin Guijun returned from studying abroad and returned to the w88 casino. Because of his excellent English proficiency and professional abilities, the w88 casino arranged for him to teach graduate courses in English. In 1995, Lin Guijun completed his doctoral studies on the job at the w88 casino and obtained a doctorate in economics. The next year, he was promoted from associate professor to professor. Currently, Lin Guijun is still responsible for teaching in English to foreign students at the w88 casino. He told reporters that he has been teaching students in English for 32 years. When it comes to lecturing foreign students, Lin Guijun proudly said that he should be considered one of the initiators of degree education for foreign students at the w88 casino.
Provide suggestions and suggestions for the development of national foreign w88
The second year after returning from studying in Canada, that isIn 1988, Lin Guijun published a paper on the study of w88 balance imbalance in the domestic core academic journal "International w88 Issues".“Later, I found foreigners commenting in foreign journals that this was China’s first article using quantitative w88 methods to study China’s w88 policy.”Talking about the imbalance of w88 balance, The reporter asked him to talk about the Sino-US w88 deficit.“The United States (government) says that we buy less from them and we (China) sell too much to them. In fact, many companies in the United States also sell many of their products in the Chinese market. For example, their companies sell Buick cars and iPhones in the Chinese market. These (data) In the United States, it is not included. In other words, although the United States feels that we do not buy much from them (goods), American companies sell a lot in China. When doing w88 statistics, these two aspects should be considered together.” Lin Guijun revealed that based on this point of view, he and his colleagues also proposed“Three yuan w88 ownership accounting method”，Published in the journal "Review of International Economics" in 2010, this paper is still very influential in the debate on w88 imbalance between China and the United States. According to the team proposed by Lin Guijun and others, they recalculated Sino-US w88 and found that“The w88 between China and the United States is actually even.”
Professor Lin Guijun andWTO Director-General
Lin Guijun said that he began to study global value chain issues long before the Sino-US w88 war began, and inSpecially published papers in 2017——"Sino-US w88 and Employment from the Perspective of Global Value Chain", in the article he analyzed the w88 issues between China and the United States, he said, The products China exports to the United States contain many American things, so we cannot look at them from a traditional perspective. For example, the chips in the mobile phones we sell are from the United States, and the technology in them is also from you. When we export mobile phones, we actually create jobs for Americans. These achievements of Lin Guijun have important reference significance for national government departments to formulate w88 policies. In addition, he also organized research scholars from the w88 casino to participate in the study of China's foreign w88 policy, fromStarted writing reports on Asian economic integration for each Boao Forum in 2009——"Asian Economic Integration Process".
When talking about China’s foreign w88 situation, Lin Guijun’s expression immediately became serious. He confessed,“To be honest, China’s current foreign w88 development momentum has basically been exhausted, The advantages of promoting foreign w88 growth, such as low labor costs, are gone. China's labor costs have increased now. In the past, foreign businessmen invested in setting up factories in the country and then exported the products. Moreover, there are not as many foreign businessmen as there were ten years ago. New factors that can promote the development of foreign w88 are still growing. grown up, such as5G technology, we could have exported on a large scale, but the West is wary of it, so we need to overcome many difficulties. To maintain export growth, we need to develop new export products. Nowadays, many countries hope that China will expand its market. They hope to export more to China. They believe that China is the world market and hope that China will buy more of their products. This involves the issue of how China can expand domestic demand.”
Lin Guijun thinks about this, We cannot be afraid of foreign goods coming in, he said vividly using playing table tennis as an example,“In the past, our table tennis could not beat Japan, and we could not even beat Hungary. By participating in the competition with them, we have now taken advantage of it. It's impossible to improve if you keep playing with low-level opponents. You can only improve by competing with experts. Just like participating in the Olympics, we may have lost in some events, but overall we are still awesome! If we import more foreign things, we will become the center of the world. Then the whole world will protect you, and you will be safer!”
Made outstanding contributions to the w88 casino
Lin Guijun has served as the vice president of the w88 casino for more than ten years. During his tenure, he was in charge of disciplines, scientific research and foreign affairs. In terms of foreign affairs management, He was the first to design an international index system for universities, and was the first to design it at the University of Foreign Economics and Business“Fuyu+ Professional”The training plan, the curriculum system for training international students in Chinese and English, has established a general education platform for foreign students. In terms of discipline construction, Lin Guijun has made important contributions to the w88 casino. Make international w88 the first and only key subject in the country. Before he became vice president, the w88 casino had only a few doctoral programs in secondary disciplines. After Lin Guijun took office as vice president,In 2005, he personally drafted a discipline construction plan to shift the focus of discipline construction from second-level disciplines to first-level disciplines, and ultimately achieved success. The w88 casino now has 7 doctoral programs in first-level disciplines. In terms of building the w88 casino's scientific research capacity, Lin Guijun's contribution to the w88 casino was the earliest (in 2000) to encourage teachers to publish papers in international academic journals and introduce international publishing into the scientific research evaluation system.
When asked about his management secrets as deputy principal, Lin Guijun said with a smile that as a leader, you only need to take care of the general direction and don't have to do everything yourself. He confessed,“When I was the vice-principal, I delegated a lot of approval authority, so I didn’t have to read every document in person. I think if there are too many rules and regulations in a w88 casino, people will be tied up to death. The focus of university rules and regulations is on governance structure, ensuring the direction of running a w88 casino, ensuring the quality of education, and ensuring that children of poor people can complete their studies. Too many rules and regulations will reduce efficiency and create regulatory burdens.”For his performance as vice-principal, he owes all his achievements to the support and cooperation of his two division chiefs.“Both of them are very capable, They did a very good job in the subject office and scientific research office, and they also saved me a lot of time.”Now that Lin Guijun has retired from his position as vice principal, he feels more relaxed, and it also gives him more time. But he still said that age is not forgiving, and he still has a lot to do, and every day is like a race against time. In addition to teaching foreign students on time, he also has many seminars to attend. He said that he did not want to repeat what he said in every seminar he attended, so he had to constantly study new issues and put forward new perspectives. During the Shanghai International Import Expo held not long ago, he participated in a Hongqiao International Forum event and made a speech on China's business environment at the forum. He also revealed that he will soon participate in the Beijing w88 Fair Service w88 Forum in Beijing. When asked whether regularly participating in these seminars would delay class time for students, Lin Guijun said that he would avoid class time for students when participating in activities, and answered eloquently:“Don’t delay teaching students! This is the teacher’s responsibility and also my agreement with the students.”
“Ambition is the only criterion for merit, diligence is the only criterion for extensive deeds”. This sentence from "Shangshu" cannot be overstated when applied to Lin Guijun. From an aspiring young man in his prime to a university leader with frost-stained hair and a famous teacher and professor, Lin Guijun has devoted his good years and ingenuity to the country's education and to the development of China's foreign w88.
