On September 8, a celebration of the 40th Teachers' Day and the recognition of advanced collectives and individuals in the national education system was held in Beijing. Zhu Shixin, professor of the School of Mathematics of Hefei University of Technology, won the title of "National Model Teacher" in 2024.

As a teacher, the greatest happiness is to lead the growth of students."

"Talent training is the most important mission of teachers. If teachers want to do a good job in personnel training, they must first stand on the platform! Let our classroom become a first-class classroom that is welcomed by students, stimulates their learning enthusiasm, taps their learning potential, and enhances their goals."

Over the past 36 years, Zhu Shixin has always cultivated and cultivated students with his enthusiasm for the cause of education and his loyal love for the teaching profession. The courses of advanced mathematics, linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics taught by Zhu Shixin are recognized as "headache" courses in universities, and the boring abstract theory makes many students afraid. However, in Zhu Shixin's class, mathematics is no longer difficult to understand, but becomes lively and interesting. He is good at using the simplest language to explain the most profound theory, intelligent and interesting lecture style successfully introduced students to the palace of mathematics. He often uses his personal experience and the stories of the students he has taught in the classroom to inspire the students' enthusiasm for learning and the confidence to catch up with the example, and is taught to fish by others. Every class, more than 100 people in the classroom are full, even the sidewalk, the front of the podium are crowded with students listening to the class, a time to become a beautiful landscape of the school.

Students wrote this in their end-of-year teaching evaluations:

"Teacher Zhu's class gives us confidence to open the door of mathematics, go forward on the road of science, and enjoy the beauty of it!"

"Listening to Teacher Zhu's class is a kind of artistic enjoyment, which makes people intoxicated and intoxicated. I give Zhu teacher's evaluation more than 100 points ah, should be +∞ it is good!"

"Listening to Teacher Zhu's class is a very wonderful process to enjoy, he can drum your confidence very much, so that you believe that as long as you work hard, you can succeed." He deserves the title of 'Master.'"

In order to better each class, Zhu Shixin devoted himself to the teaching theory, constantly explored the law of higher mathematics teaching, and innovative teaching methods. The textbook Advanced Mathematics (Upper and lower, second edition), which he took the lead in compiling, was awarded the second prize of the first National Excellent Textbook Award. Advanced Mathematics, which he taught, was approved as a national first-class undergraduate course. After the online course resources were released on the MOOC platform of Chinese universities, it has had a wide influence and become a high-quality educational resource for students in universities across the country to learn mathematics.

Since his teaching career, Zhu Shixin has been awarded the "Famous Teaching Teacher Award in Colleges and Universities", selected for the national talent plan, and won the national model teacher. As the host, he won 1 second prize of national teaching achievements, 1 Major teaching Achievement Award of Anhui Province, 1 special prize of teaching achievements, and 5 first prizes, and led the approval of the first batch of virtual teaching and research room construction pilot projects of the Ministry of Education.

Today, Professor Zhu Shixin, who is over 60 years old, still runs around every day to teach undergraduate and graduate students on the way, although hard, he enjoys it.

"Teaching and research reinforce each other, and it is not possible to teach books without the support of research."

This is what Zhu Shixin often tells young teachers, and it is also one of the important beliefs that he leads the team to carry out cutting-edge theoretical research. The coding and cryptography team of the School of Mathematics of Hefei University of Technology is an excellent team of graduate instructors in Anhui Province and a Huang Danian teaching team of the school. As the leader, Zhu Shixin led his team to carry out effective theoretical research in the field of finite loop coding theory and quantum code construction around quantum computing and quantum communication, a major international scientific and technological frontier. He has published more than 200 academic papers in the international top journals in the field of coding and cryptography, and the related research results won the first prize of Anhui Natural Science Award.

"Mr. Zhu is good at grasping the development needs of the new generation of information technology, with excellent concepts and forward-looking vision, insight into the development trend of coding and cryptography, deep digging behind the hidden mathematical problems, and leading us to fight in the forefront of coding cryptography theory research." Under his guidance, the team was divided into several research groups and made a series of theoretical achievements around classical constant cyclic codes and quantum key sharing." Said Kai Xiaoshan, a professor at the school of Mathematics. Zhu Shixin has presided over one key project of the National Natural Science Foundation Joint Fund, five projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, and two projects of the National cryptographic planning, and has trained more than 100 master's and doctoral students.

"Teachers should be role models for students by caring for them and spreading positive energy."

In Zhu Shixin's desk, has been treasured a letter. This is a letter that Li Song, the first student of the Jade Campus of the United University of Technology, wrote to him more than 20 years ago after he was admitted to Zhejiang University as a graduate student. In this letter of nearly a thousand words, Li Song fondly recalled Zhu Shixin's care and guidance to him during his undergraduate years. In one class, Li Song did not understand the content of "finding partial derivatives". Zhu Shixin used the break time to explain it three times in a row. Looking at Li Song still confused, Zhu Shixin let Li Song sit in the first row of seats in every class, so that he could grasp his learning situation in time. All this gave Li Song a great encouragement. Since then, he worked hard and was admitted to Zhejiang University as a graduate student with his excellent results.

Students like Li Song are not unique in Zhu's teaching career. Professor Jin Lingfei, who was also a student of Zhu Shixin and is now teaching at the School of Computer Science and Technology of Fudan University, spoke affectionately of his teacher: "Teacher Zhu is not only a wise man with excellent teaching skills, but also a good teacher with heart and affection. He explained the complicated and difficult theoretical knowledge into simple ways, and became the lighthouse in the hearts of countless students. With his profound academic heritage and selfless dedication, he has always stood at the forefront of teaching and research, leading generations of students to swim in the ocean of knowledge." In addition to busy teaching and research work, Zhu Shixin also served as a member of the National University Mathematics Teaching Steering Committee, the vice chairman of the Educational Mathematics Council of the Chinese Society of Higher Education, and the supervisor of the Chinese Cryptographic Society. He insisted on going to Lingbi County in Anhui Province and Northern University for Nationalities to give voluntary lectures and support poor students every year. He has provided public welfare guidance on curriculum construction and teaching methods for hundreds of universities across the country, helping the construction of college teachers and personnel training.

Three feet podium, four seasons peaches and plums. Zhu Shixin always has a big heart, with sincere heart, dedication, benevolence into the party's educational cause, and strives to be a big Mr. for students to learn, for things, and for people, with his own practical actions to practice the spirit of educators, and to set an example of words for scholars and behavior for the world.
