Xue Rongjiu sighed when talking about the way to do scholarship ：“School60In the history of 20667_20693”He specifically mentioned six teachers:“On the road to academic study, they are not only my teachers, but also my guides.”Professor Chen Shouqi taught him: Learning is to learn to ask questions. Teacher Chen“I often use cards in class, and the lectures are lively, refreshing, and make people feel approachable and respectable”. Professor Yuan Xianneng was his tutor when he was a graduate student, and led him into the palace of Western economics and international trade theory.“More than a dozen teachers from our school, Peking University, Renmin University and Normal University were seconded to the Ministry of Foreign Trade to discuss some major issues in the preparation of conference materials, which benefited me a lot.”Dean Li Qiuye was his undergraduate philosophy teacher, which aroused his interest in philosophy.1960Years later, he became one of the first batch of master's students in the Institute of Trade, and Dean Li invited him to his home as a guest,“He told us to respect our teachers, learn from them, learn their good things, and learn the patriotic sentiments of these old professors.”Under the guidance and influence of five famous teachers and Dean Li, Xue Rongjiu has been adhering to the principles of respecting teachers and teaching, being tireless in teaching, being eager to learn, being erudite and thinking, practicing hard, and being rigorous in scholarship.

2. Rigorous scholarship, pragmatism and innovation
In order to realize the concept of teaching and educating people, Xue Rongjiu Persisting in scholarship must be rigorous, and rigor comes from diligence and thinking. Diligence and thinking have become the basis for innovation in teaching and research. First, adhere to rigor in teaching activities.
The times are constantly developing, the country is accelerating its transformation, and the requirements for talents are becoming diversified. To this end, Xue Rongjiu continues to explore and innovate, and strives to cultivate talents for the country.20century70Since the end of the 1990s, "International Trade", which he edited, has become a highly influential core financial textbook of the Ministry of Education in China.1984, he created a new course "Economic and Trade Research and Thesis Writing", which greatly improved the research and writing abilities of students who chose the course.2003Years later, based on the needs of talents for China’s “WTO accession”, he created new courses “Introduction to the World Trade Organization” and “Special Topics of the World Trade Organization”. Proactive creativity and commitment"211"Major issues, from2004New Year's Eve2014Compiled six volumes and seven volumes in the year1,000The 10,000-word "General Guide to International Trade Theory" fills the gap in systematic research on international trade theory at home and abroad. After that, he published the monograph "Exploration of Marxist International Economic and Trade Theory" and applied for the project of "Construction of Socialist International Economic and Trade Theory with Chinese Characteristics" to sinicize Marxist international economic and trade theory.
Teaching and Research
1. Be tireless in teaching, teaching first
“The primary task of a university is to cultivate talents. If you become a professor and don’t take classes, you are not a competent professor”, this is Xue Rongjiu’s teaching philosophy. since1964, he has always insisted on putting teaching well first, from teaching w88 live casinoassistant to professor to doctoral supervisor.1983, after returning to school from further studies in the United States, he believed that the thesis writing course in the United States was useful for students, so he created the "Economic and Trade Research and Thesis Writing" course based on China's situation. The results were remarkable, and it later became a school-wide course.2001, after China joined the World Trade Organization, he felt that students should master the knowledge of the World Trade Organization,2003, he created the course "Introduction to the WTO". Years of hard teaching earned him the title of Beijing’s first “University Teaching Teacher Award”.
While teaching undergraduates, he also insists on teaching "International Trade" to master's students and "Trade and Investment Topics" to doctoral students. In order to improve the quality of teaching, he devoted himself to compiling good teaching materials. The editors of "International Trade", "Economic and Trade Research and Paper Writing" and "Introduction to the World Trade Organization" have been widely used by domestic universities.1991, in view of the rise of international trade disciplines in colleges and universities across the country, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, he created the "National Colleges and Universities International Trade Discipline Collaboration Group" to integrate international trade disciplines in colleges and universities across the country and strengthen collaboration in teacher training, discipline construction, and academic research. .

3. Cultivating talents with fragrant peaches and plums
After more than forty years of hard work, Xue Rongjiu has devoted himself to discipline construction and is on the way to cultivating world trade talents for the country On the long road of talent, I will have no regrets in my life. He said: “The development of a discipline requires theoretical research as support, and it also needs teaching materials and talents to inherit it.”1993, after Xue Rongjiu became a doctoral supervisor in international trade, he began to train the first batch of doctoral students in the field of WTO research in China.WTOLiu Guangxi, a professional doctor, participated from beginning to end2013Substantial negotiations for China’s resumption of customs relations/accession to the WTO, and the first term “accession to the WTO”; Bai Shuqiang was selected to the Chinese Embassy in GenevaWTOEmbassy work; Zhang Hanlin serves as the dean of the WTO Research Institute of the University of International Business and Economics; Zhao Yuhuan, Cui Fan, Tu Xinquan, Fan Ying, Chen Taifeng, Yang Fengming, etc. have made many achievements in WTO research, teaching and public service . WTO 's correct understanding provides the ideological and decision-making basis for China to make full use of opportunities, resolve challenges, turn challenges into opportunities, and seek great development of China's economy and trade after joining the WTO.
Policy suggestions and major contributions
From "returning to the customs" to "joining the WTO", Xue Rongjiu isWTOStudying the “First Person”, ChinaWTOThe "dean" of research. He was a witness and experiencer of China's accession to the WTO fifteen years ago, and has a deep connection with the teaching and research of the World Trade Organization.1999, he was invited to attend a conference in the United States. Faced with the difficult problem of "the relationship between China's current social and political concepts and the basic rules of the WTO", he combined China's specific situation with its accession to the WTO, made a dialectical analysis, and put forward seven insights.2001, China's dream of joining the World Trade Organization came true, ushering in a new stage of opening up to the outside world.2003, in order to expand the domestic WTO and integrate it with international standards, he and Shen Jueren, Tong Zhiguang, Gu Yongjiang, Long Yongtu, China's chief negotiators for resumption of customs and WTO accession, etc., prepared to establish the "China World Trade Organization Research Association", which became
Talking about China’s development prospects after joining the WTO, Xue Rongjiu said earnestly: “China is facing challenges from all aspects and has gradually become the main target of competition. When facing trade disputes, many organizations do not use rules to judge the rights and wrongs of trade disputes. , some comments contain some narrow-minded nationalistic sentiments, which are not conducive to China’s settlement in the WTO.” After China’s accession to the WTO, some media exclaimed, “The wolf is coming.” Xue Rongjiu could not agree.
Facing "China is joining"WTOConsider quitting on the tenth anniversaryWTO" Xue Rongjiu cannot agree with this statement. He believes that the conclusion that China's accession to the WTO is stuck in "bad trade" ignores the overall positive effects of China's entry into the WTO; the basis for the conclusion that China is stuck in "bad trade" obscures China's foreign economic and trade Historical facts of progress; Policy recommendations to get rid of the "bad trade" trap will set back China's opening up; Re-negotiating China's accession to get rid of the "bad trade"WTOConditions and exit strategies have serious consequences.2011 , he and Sun Zhenyu, president of the China World Trade Organization Research Association (China's first ambassador to the World Trade Organization), went to Geneva to attend the conference and expressed China's tremendous development and responsibilities after joining the WTO. In the face of misunderstandings by some domestic scholars about China's transitional period after China's accession to the WTO, and in response to the United States and the European Union's false assertions about China's market economy status, China's decision to terminate Article 1 of the Protocol on China's accession to the WTO as scheduled15Among the clauses, he wrote an article to refute the issue of using "surrogate country" prices as the price basis for determining whether China is dumping. He also accepted an interview with CCTV Focus to explain the significance of China's rights protection in this regard.

2007年1In August, Xue Rongjiu, who had worked hard for the "economic and trade dream" all his life, retired honorably, but the school hopes that he can continue to serve as the leader of the international trade subject and engage in original teaching and research.
