is obviously an introduction about yourself, but why does it feel like a lot of content is about others? Recently, the personal homepage of Lu Zhenzhou, a professor at the School of Aeronautics of Northwestern Polytechnical University, on the school’s official website has attracted many netizens to watch.
In the "comprehensive introduction", Lu Zhenzhou did not mention "herself" at all, but made students the protagonist-she listed the number of graduate students she has mentored as of September 2022 (the time when the homepage is updated), the year of graduation, their names, The employment destinations have been announced, and most of the students are employed in state-owned enterprises and universities after graduation.
In the "Honorary Awards" column, the first eight items listed by Lu Zhenzhou are various awards and achievements won by doctoral students, master's students and even undergraduate students she has mentored, followed by content about herself. In this part of the introduction, Lu Zhenzhou also specifically wrote: "In terms of graduate student guidance, I have never handed over my graduate students to the guidance of young teachers in the research group before, and I will never hand over my graduate students to others in the future. Guidance, the guidance of graduate students under my name will be done personally throughout the entire process."

Lu Zhenzhou's personal homepage has won praises from many netizens after "going out of the circle".
Some people said, "There is another kind of 'other people's mentor' in the world"; some people said, "This is not an introduction, but a display of achievements"; others said, "She is so 'high profile' and so 'show off', but I like it so much." ".
Why does a teacher's resume that devotes a lot of space to describing students' situations win such praise?
First of all, such a resume shows full confidence. It can be seen from Teacher Lu’s description that she is very familiar with the study and employment situations of the students she has guided. And this kind of understanding must be based on long time together and serious teaching.
One of Lu Zhenzhou's students said that when discussing issues with her teacher, she might think of the methods used in graduate students' papers at any time and quickly turn them out for everyone's reference. Being able to have such "stunt skills" shows Lu Zhenzhou's dedication to his students. A resume like
also reveals joy and pride. Generally speaking, when people fill out a public personal homepage, they will choose the content that they think is the most important and useful. It can be inferred from this that in Teacher Lu’s view, cultivating students is one of her greatest achievements. Her detailed list of items is undoubtedly a realistic portrayal of "peaches and plums all over the world".
Judging from the resumes, Lu Zhenzhou’s students often have “students”, and the vast majority of students have good places to go after graduation. However, compared to this, what caught the attention of netizens even more was Teacher Lu’s commitment to personally guide his graduate students throughout the entire process.

"A teacher is a teacher, so he preaches and learns to solve doubts." Teaching principles, explaining knowledge, and answering doubts are the most basic responsibilities of a teacher, and this is also the profession. the most fundamental meaning of existence. It is worth noting that although he puts personal honors after his students, Lu Zhenzhou has a large number of scientific research achievements and awards in his 30 years of teaching. Her graduate student also said that because teachers always have students’ learning at heart, they never dare to slack off.
It can be said that the reason why Teacher Lu's personal homepage touches people is largely because it is a clear embodiment of the eight words "teaching and educating people through words and deeds".
is just eight words, which is easier said than done. It requires teachers to have sufficient academic standards, a strong sense of responsibility and a high standard of ethics. In recent years, there have been negative news related to tutors in colleges and universities. Some graduate students have not been able to see their tutors for a long time, and some graduate students have been assigned by their tutors to do various chores. In January this year, 11 students from a certain university reported a professor of the school with their real names. Academic misconduct has aroused public concern. In the final analysis, the mentors in the relevant incidents have forgotten the original intention of the "teacher".
Lu Zhenzhou is not the first person to become popular due to his "personal homepage". Although the forms are different, behind these personal homepages are written the teachers' academic rigor, love for the profession, and persistence in the chosen path. Netizens praised Lu Zhenzhou and praised her for being a university teacher.
Of course, a personal homepage is just one of the ways of self-expression, and every teacher also has his own mode and way of getting along with students. But no matter what style it is, the fundamental principle of "being a teacher by example" cannot be lost or changed. Only in this way can we become a true guide for generations of students.
is actually more than just a teacher? Every profession has its "original intention". Whether it can always maintain this original intention when facing various changes, difficulties and even temptations will largely determine how high and far the practitioners can go.
