The golden phoenix flying out of the ravine——Studying at Peking University
1960Wang Zhimin was born in rural Jiangxian County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. His father was a bank clerk in the county and his mother was a farmer in the village. However, when he was young, life at home was still very difficult. At that time, Wang Zhimin often did not have enough to eat. 1977When Wang Zhimin graduated from high w88 casino in 2008, he had no choice but to return to his hometown to farm because he had no chance to go to college. Although he had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination the next year (the country resumed the college entrance examination), he did not dare to apply for college. He only applied for a local technical secondary w88 casino in Shanxi. Although he was only taking the exam for a technical secondary w88 casino, he failed to pass the exam because physics and chemistry were required for admission to the technical secondary w88 casino, and the middle w88 casino he attended did not offer these two courses that year. However, what is lost is what is gained in the east. He failed to pass the technical secondary w88 casino exam, but Wang Zhimin was not discouraged. He decided to prepare well and take the exam again next year.
1979Year 1911313_114209points, which was a very high score in those days, and the history and geography exams got even higher scores.
"I am from Jiang CountyThe first student to be admitted to Peking University after the reform and opening up, and also the only student from Jiangxian County to be admitted to Peking University." Wang Zhimin recalled, "Back then,Peking UniversityAdmissionThe notice was sent to the County Education Bureau. I live in a village far away from the county seat. They don’t know who I am and can’t find me. Although the notice from Peking University was issuedGetIt was relatively early, but I received the notification very late because it took people from the Education Bureau more than half a month to find me.When the news that I was admitted to Peking University spread all over the country, everyone said that a child from Yaodu Village (a small village) was admitted to Peking University. My family was very happy. My father was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. People in the village said that I had passed the first prize, because I was the first person in the village to go to college, and no one had even gone to technical secondary w88 casino before. ”
After arriving at Peking University, Wang Zhimin studied very diligently. He got up at around 6 o'clock every morning and went to the library to read. At that time, he read a lot of books, including novels, history, celebrity biographies, etc. "I came from a rural area. I had never seen the world in my hometown. I only studied diligently and determined to serve the country. At Peking University, I met many famous people, such as Zhou Peiyuan, Zhu Guangqian, Lei Jieqiong, Feng Youlan, etc. Not only did I increase my knowledge, but it also greatly enhanced my self-confidence. Back then, Peking University often invited domestic and foreign dignitaries or celebrities to give lectures, which benefited me a lot."When he was young, Wang Zhimin was tall and very fond of sports. During his studies at Peking University, he liked long-distance running and playing badminton.
When he graduated from college, considering his parents’ wishes, Wang Zhimin took the initiative to return to his native Shanxi to work and was assignedBecame a teacher at the Yuncheng District Party w88 casino. The w88 casino at that time was located on the outskirts of the city, with poor working and living conditions, and could not satisfy his academic pursuits. After working at the Party w88 casino for two years, Wang Zhimin re-applied for a master's degree at Peking University and was admitted again by Peking University, starting his scientific research career.
1988Wang Zhimin graduated from Peking University with a graduate degree. When choosing a job, although he had the opportunity to work in a ministry in Beijing, he did not choose to enter politics. "I feel that my personality and expertise are more suitable for being a teacher, so I took the initiative to teach in a university."
Professor and doctoral supervisor who is deeply respected and loved by students
At the University of International w88 and Economics, Wang Zhimin not only teaches undergraduate students, but also teaches master’s and doctoral students.

Wang Zhimin’s postgraduate majors are mainly the sinicization of Marxism and the international communist movementANDScientific socialism and world economy, many students do not major in these majors at the undergraduate level, but after becoming Wang Zhimin’s students, these master’s and doctoral students will soon be able to publish in CSSCI core academic journalsPostedThesis. A paper written by his master's student Chen Yuanhang also won the "China Young Economist Thesis Award" under the guidance of tutor Wang Zhimin, and doctoral student Chen Zonghua won the first prize of the Beijing University International Politics Research Association's Outstanding Paper Award as a student (it was the first time for a student to win this award as a student). Both of them have won national scholarships.
Talking about his insights from teaching for decades, Wang Zhimin said with emotion:"The teaching profession is a conscientious job. Teachers must have a sense of mission and lead by example. I have stood on the three-foot podium for forty years. Teachers must have charisma. Teaching ideological and political courses is a science. Teachers must Let students accept your point of view, and it is a correct point of view. In order to influence students' "three views", Wang Zhimin always spends a lot of time carefully preparing lessons before teaching. He believes that to teach social science well, we must use Marxist ideological theory as a guide.但对于如何学习包括西方经济学在内相关学科,王志民则主张要批判性地学习。 Wang Zhimin once found that some students were unwilling to take ideological and political courses and had a preconceived rebellious mentality, so he told them: "I talk about the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the 'Four Comprehensives' and 'Five-in-One'. These are China's national conditions. As a student, if you don't understand China, you can't survive in China, let alone develop your career in the future. I tell the students how much progress our country has made as a whole, and tell them not to just look at one point. I also use real data, such as comparing China's GDP17964_18023”

In addition to preaching and solving problems, Wang Zhimin even cares about students' employment, marriage and love issues, solving their problems so that they can study with peace of mind.His requirements for graduate students are:“First of all, you must sit still, be persistent in learning, and treat academics with a craftsman’s heart.” Wang Zhimin believes,Doing academic work is a practice, starting from the initial topic selection, to reviewing relevant literature, to writing, and finally to repeated revisions and careful consideration of every word and sentence. This is a very painful process that exercises one's patience.“I often sit in the office or library for several hours, and I have to sit on the bench when doing academic work.” Wang Zhimin emphasized in his lectures to students“The systematic nature of knowledge learning”. He pointed out,“Knowledge is systematic and logical, and needs to be learned systematically. "Therefore, unlike the traditional cramming teaching method, his teaching has a strong systematic logic, often organizing and systematizing obscure theoretical knowledge from the outside to the inside, so that students can quickly sort out and grasp the knowledge.
Wang Zhimin has another requirement for graduate students, which is“Graduate students focus on ‘research’”,He thinksThe focus of the word "graduate student" lies in the word "research". It requires not only a solid theoretical foundation and rich professional knowledge, but also a strong problem awareness and problem-solving ability. In class, he is alwaysTeaching is guided by guidance and inspiration, based on students' in-depth thinking, and aimed at academic innovation.

Teacher Wang is not only a scholar with rigorous scholarship and numerous publications, but also a warm and caring elder in my mind.记得我博士入学不久,王老师的小腿受伤了,当时未引起足够重视,后来发展到非常严重的程度,因为腿不能弯曲走路非常痛苦,医生要求在家静养,同学们纷纷建议王老师采取线上授课即可,可王老师硬是强忍着剧痛像Persist in teaching us in class as if nothing is wrong.更加让我触动的是,正因为王老师“不听医嘱”导致后期腿伤愈发严重,医生强烈建议再走动小腿可能有截肢的风险,但是即使在这种情况下,每两周王老师依然坚持来校上课,并雷打不动地参加所带硕、博学生的学术沙龙,和大家一起交流近期学术界最新研究成果、指导学生论文写作发表……
2021 doctoral candidate Chen Zhenji said,Teacher Wang not only carefully guided us academically, but also gave us many suggestions for our thesis writingofGuiding opinions, and often educate us on how to behave and how to do things.

He believes that promoting the “One Belt, One Road” requires both new concepts to guide and new order to regulate.王志民将这种理念和秩序定义为“丝路New Order", he believes that although the "Silk Road New Order" is still in the process of formation, its general ideas and overall framework can summarize its basic connotation. This is undoubtedly an innovative research attempt. Wang Zhimin emphasized that China is the leader of the existing international order. The founders and reformers who proposed the "New Silk Road Order" did not seek to break the existing international order, but to become a leader in global governance while adhering to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.The old thinking of hegemonism and power politics,Building a new platform for international economic cooperation, will provide new ideas and new norms for global governance.The "New Silk Road Order" is actually an international public good provided by China. It will set a new model for global governance, enhance China's institutional voice, create a new model of international cooperation, and promote the development of the international political and economic order in a fair and reasonable direction. hisThese understandings are constructive and a major breakthrough in the field of "One Belt, One Road" research.

For this purpose,He has been rated as the "External Publicity Star of the w88 casino" many times.
When asked about his successful experience, Wang Zhimin said frankly:“When doing science, you must focus on a certain research direction and persevere. It is like digging a well. Don’t worry about not being able to dig out water. Keep digging and you will always be able to dig out water. "In addition, he hopes that students will learn to analyze and solve problems under the guidance of Marxist ideas, and make greater contributions to the country in the future.“Everyone’s destiny is closely linked to the destiny of the country. I hope my students will have feelings for their family and country. If everyone is fighting for the country, the Chinese nationThe great revival is just around the corner.”
