At AXHU

After the National College Entrance Examination, also known as Chinese ‘gaokao,’ TIAN Yingdong, at age 18, matriculated into AXHU School of Business and began to study his undergraduate program of Human Resource Management in Sept 2010.

 

“The AXHUers deify the individuals’ pursuits of realizing humanity’s well being, which benefits not only from ongoing self-improvement in diligence in the field of study, but also from AXHU faculty’s high-level academic capacity and their responsibilities of shouldering more constructive contributions to the entire AXHU community,” Tian believed, “The 4-year experiences represent a far-reaching significance of forwarding my academic research and development in the coming days .”

 

Along with the candidate students, who were applying for 2015 master’s programme, at the study rooms of AXHU library, “the longest-lasting memories of those days were vividly shaped in my head—facing challenges and difficulties together by grouped work, mutual understanding, and positive support—, which will last forever in the rest of my life”.

 

“I feel very grateful to the AXHU, my alma mater, where the up-to-date educational infrastructure and profound humanistic environment facilitate us a broad-based growth in academic and professional prospects,” Tian argued, “ The AXHU people are committed themselves into preparing much more promising talents and practitioners, while wanting to become an active part with their stable position and down-to-earth endeavour into the Top rankings in the context of international higher education.”

 

 “Also, both classroom study and campus life at AXHU made us become stronger, more confident and more beautiful in harmony, where we met our lifetime guides, bosom buddies, and natural benevolence in the landscape of AXHU construction and development,” Tian highlighted emotionally.

 

AXHU education achievements

“With ongoing efforts and extraordinaire courage in aspiration of pursuing academic excellence,” Tian asserts, “Although AXHUers are weighing on the cruxes and puzzles in the certain areas of study, they are still on the way to some success by making each meaningful thing possible, and are committed themselves into combating these challenges and deficiencies by consistent, persistent and substantive practices that work to branch out some new solutions interested in archived literature, peer experts’ advice, flexible research methods and available planning.”

 

Till now, Tian has written (or co-authored) about ten research papers of impact over the past years, which could well feature his own academic foundation and potentials in the field of study and research.

 

Surprisingly, processing through the uneven path—especially in the end of his doctoral programme cycle, he appeared a good intent in stubbornness and determination to generate knowledge and to activate innovations, with which he was baptized with those transformational highlights and unusual challenges .   

 

 “To fabricate high-quality academic research could take the four-point solution into consideration, including the selected topic(s) being in line with both the international hotspot issues with edge-cutting initiatives and the national academic policies in general, impactful literature and its findings (written in Chinese and English language), which should be limited to quantitative analysis of how to access the academic resources that can work efficiently and empirically in the field, standardized format and templates while writing papers (e.g., of abstract, prologue, and summaries),” Tian shares, “The last but not least, the ‘Foreign Key’-driven press service deserves the candidate authors’ special attention in the process of the publication.”

 

Through studying at Anhui Xinhua University, Guilin University of Technology, and then Nanjing University of Science and Technology School of Economics and Management, Tian’s pursuit of academic excellence and high-level character is like a beacon for the current students on campus.

 

The alum story enlightened us that the higher, much more splendid academic achievements should be deeply seeded into the fertile soils, being full of dreams, passions, and day-to-day endeavour in seasons.

 

On the way

Under the far-reaching, meaningful influences of his master’s and doctoral program supervisors in person, those beacon-like academic influencers generously feted him with a treasure of their years-long academic accumulation in research methods and creative ideas, scientific findings, hands-on experiences, and much more,—during studying the doctoral program, he has honorably become the part of his supervisor-led research project sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China-and earned many high-value academic experiences in the real world. Following up with their solid footprints, Tian is trying to explore and exploit a new land under our feet in the near future.

 

As far as some bottleneck problems and questions of academic research and innovation are concerned, “quite a few may renovate, or even redesign, or suspend some time to awaken the hidden forces in body via some alternative ways, such as sports, music, and extensive readings,” Tian recounted, ‘To be frank, inclusive and kind to the people you study and work and grow around, for example, the program instructors, teachers, peer students, and colleagues in project, their breath-taking ideas and technology-driven suggestions of difference would open much more space to let the bright light beam across all the corners of what they have been staunchly engaged with the academic projects.

 

About the balance between academic research and everyday classroom study, “there is actually existing a nature of loosely coupled application to some degree,” Tian expounded, “The former is generally viewed as a trip of deepening academic work researchers engage, while the latter, on the other side, is mainly around the curriculum requirements, advanced skills and techniques, and extracurricular activities. However, the two parts are interwoven closely together—the academic research practices can help obtain a stronger sense of learning achievements and interests, and in the meantime, the regular accumulation in knowledge and skills can promote the research activities to another level.”

 

Heart-to-heart words from our alumni

Now, listening to the story of his pilgrimage in devoutness and scalability, as a cultural paradigm of boasting achievements, honors, awards, wisdom and talents, which is illuminating the current on-campus students onto the journey, profiting from the individuals’ obsessions with both academic career of excellence and the higher life goals.  

 

As demand for the national scholarships-and the disciplinary competition across all levels, Tian shared many of his own understandings, “First, the candidate students should know a lot the educational impact and practical significance, and then trustfully make a full-scale preparation in advance. Second, they should design a scheme along with its detailed, compatible solutions as scheduled. Finally, to stay a positive position to reflect and evaluate what the candidate members achieved or not, to stay the high-level performance during that, as well as to drive for enhancing the learning effects and college life quality.”

 

So, “aside from the clear-headed academic requirements and the top-notch performance, the current undergraduate students might enjoy the varied and colorful college life-and be drilled practically for the future career, by joining the student organizations to support the community construction for social good as widely as possible.”

 

Moreover, “”With a systematic investigation to, for and by yourself and a holistic analysis of whether to continue to take the maser’s and doctoral programme—the earlier you make decision and turn to, the better opportunities you could have access to—, the seniors should closely merge the dynamic elements into the entire framework of personal career planning and life interests as well. Given someone fails to declare, there are still a number of alternative ways they can recover”.

 

Tian’s thoughtful suggestions in his truthful, earnest words based on his thought-provoking academic experiences in the pursuit of the life value will oftentimes spur more and more current undergraduate students to change in the coming days.
