In the golden autumn of October, the breeze is gentle and gentle. Accompanied by the first ray of sunshine in the morning and the crisp chirping of birds at the foot of the mountain, students from Xi'an bet365 mobile app College (hereinafter referred to as "Xi bet365 mobile app") started a fulfilling day with morning reading.
Students of Xi’an bet365 mobile app University reading in the square
Located at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains and on the bank of Zhongnan Mountain, Xi'an bet365 mobile app University has beautiful scenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Thirty-five years ago, Ding Zuyi, an outstanding contemporary educator and pioneer of private education, started the long road of educating people by renting a classroom and office to create "Harvard of the East".
At the beginning of running the school, Ding Zuyi established the guiding ideology of "take it from learning, use it for learning", and creatively proposed the school running concept of "Second Hope Project", adhered to the principle of non-profit public welfare school running, and focused on cultivating "Compound practical dual-major foreign-related talents" and establish a teaching system of "foreign language + major + modern skills".
Ding Zuyi, the founder of Xi’an bet365 mobile app University.
Continuing on from the past, Ding Jing took over the banner of Western bet365 mobile app in 2012, followed in the footsteps of his father, and insisted on being the inheritor and promoter of the "Spirit of Western bet365 mobile app". "I don't expect anything in return for running the school. I just want to unswervingly follow the path of running a socialist public welfare school so that every child can receive a good higher education."
In early October 2022, Ding Jing said in an interview that Western bet365 mobile app was originally intended to help students who failed the college entrance examination get out of trouble and successfully complete their studies. With the improvement of the college entrance examination system and the development of private colleges and universities, especially the changes in the source of Spanish-speaking students, this concept is also constantly evolving, but the original intention and essence of helping students realize their dreams, promoting college student financial aid, and promoting the reform of the education system will not change.
This original intention has been transformed into meticulous measures, which has warmed the hearts of Western bet365 mobile app students. In 2020, in order to actively respond to the COVID-19 epidemic, as colleges and universities across the country resumed classes one after another, Ding Jing made the important decision to "reduction or exemption of accommodation fees for all students for three months" and "free nucleic acid testing for all students after resumption of school", which enabled
Under the leadership of Ding Jing, today, SITU has developed into a private university with important influence and distinctive characteristics, focusing on liberal arts and business, featuring foreign languages, and coordinated development of multiple disciplines. In April 2022, China's authoritative higher education professional evaluation agency Ruanke released the "2022 Ruanke Chinese University Rankings" list. Xi'an bet365 mobile app University ranked 14th among private universities in the country and ranked first among private universities in Shaanxi.
Faced with the results, Cui Zhilin, president of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University, said that currently, international and domestic education are undergoing revolutionary changes, and "opportunities and challenges coexist" in the development process of Western bet365 mobile app. "Faced with the challenges of improving innovation levels and service capabilities, as well as the catch-up of similar universities in the province, Xiyi will increase investment in talent training and teaching staff construction, continuously improve the level of school running, and accelerate the pace of building a first-class private university in the country.
Located at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains and on the bank of Zhongnan Mountain, the campus of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University has a beautiful scenery.
On October 18, 2022, Western bet365 mobile app will celebrate its 35th anniversary. Looking back on the past, Western bet365 mobile app is a "pioneer" in private education, leading the in-depth and leap-forward development of private universities in Shaanxi and even private universities across the country.
The "icebreaker" of private higher education
Looking back on the entrepreneurial history of Ding Zuyijunlu Lanlv, it is also the magnificent development history of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University. It is hard to imagine that this campus, which covers an area of nearly 2,000 acres, had only one rental classroom and office when it was first founded.
Back in 1985, riding on the spring breeze of reform and opening up, 46-year-old Ding Zuyi resigned from his position as director of the foreign language teaching and research section of Xi'an Petroleum Institute (now Xi'an Petroleum University), and founded the company with 500 yuan saved by frugality. The predecessor of Xi'an bet365 mobile app College - Xi'an Foreign Languages Joint Training Department.
Xi’an bet365 mobile app Training College was established in 1987.
Since then, this little-known private school has sprouted and grown silently in the land of western China, raising the banner of modern private higher education in Shaanxi and even China, and achieving zero breakthroughs.
Two years later, in 1987, with the approval of the Shaanxi Provincial Education Commission, Xi'an Translator Training College was officially established, mainly implementing vocational skills training and self-study exam assistance.
"Let the helpless be helped, the ambitious be successful, and the forge ahead be glorious." Since the founding of the school, Ding Zuyi has said that Western bet365 mobile app will adhere to the path of running a socialist public welfare school and creatively propose the concept of the "Second Hope Project" to bring the gospel to many students who have failed the college entrance examination to continue their studies.
Ding Jing said, "My father believes that helping poor children go to school is a hope project. If the students who fail the college entrance examination continue to study, they will also become technical talents. They are also the future and hope of the motherland. Those who fail the college entrance examination are like burning to 70 or 80 degrees. With more water and more firewood, their lives will be sublimated.”
This school philosophy allowed many students at that time to determine a new direction in life. Zhao Zhongnan, who is now a senior executive of a company in Xi'an, is one of them.
“This is an ark full of hope.” Zhao Zhongnan described Western bet365 mobile app in his eyes. “When I come to Western bet365 mobile app, I come with hope, with hope for my studies, my hope for my career, and my hope for my career. The hope of life.”
At the beginning of the school’s founding, Ding Zuyi and the faculty and staff shouldered the responsibility and personally built the campus.
In 1993, eight years after the school was founded, private education ushered in “spring”.
In February 1993, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Outline for China's Education Reform and Development". It stipulates: "Change the pattern in which the government takes over the running of schools, and gradually establish a system in which the government runs schools as the main body and all sectors of society jointly run schools." The state adopts a policy of active encouragement, strong support, active guidance, and strengthening management of social groups and individual citizens running schools in accordance with the law.
Ding Zuyi led the Western bet365 mobile app during this period and took the lead in getting rid of the primary school-running mode of private schools relying mainly on leasing, and raised funds to purchase its own school buildings. At the same time, Ding Zuyi broke the traditional single teaching model and proposed an education model of “foreign language + major + modern skills”.
In 1993, Xi'an bet365 mobile app University took the lead in getting rid of the primary school-running pattern of private schools relying mainly on leasing. It has its own school buildings of 700,000 square meters and was the first to recruit students nationwide
Zhao Zhongnan recalled that the skills he learned in Spanish bet365 mobile app at that time had a profound impact on his current work.
“I learned C language at that time and successfully passed the national computer examination, which played a great role in my subsequent work. For example, in big data development, cloud computing, customer management systems, etc., I was very familiar with the underlying The structure and logic are very clear," Zhao Zhongnan said.
In the following years, the Western bet365 mobile app was "Strid forward". In 1996, Xi'an University of bet365 mobile app and Interpretation became one of the few people-run universities in the country; in 1998, its enrollment exceeded 10,000, achieving the myth of "one university a year".
In 2000, Xi'an bet365 mobile app Training College was approved by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education and upgraded to Xi'an bet365 mobile app College, and was included in the unified enrollment plan to implement full-time higher vocational education. At the end of 2002, the "Private Education Promotion Law" was promulgated, and China's private education entered a period of rapid development.
In 2000, Xi'an bet365 mobile app College was established with the approval of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government to implement full-time higher vocational education.
In 2003, Ding Zuyi boldly proposed the “Spanish bet365 mobile app Death Squadron Project” in order to strengthen the bet365 mobile app discipline. The reason why it was called the "Death Squad" was because most of the bet365 mobile app majors in Western bet365 mobile app at that time aimed at passing self-examination and obtaining a nationally recognized diploma.
Practice has proved that under this concept, the quality of talent training in Western bet365 mobile app has achieved breakthrough development, and the "death squad" has been snapped up by world-famous schools or well-known enterprises.
In 2005, Xi'an bet365 mobile app University was upgraded to an undergraduate university with the approval of the Ministry of Education, and in 2009 it obtained the right to award bachelor's degrees. At the same time, Western bet365 mobile app has broken the "all comers" admissions pattern of private universities, implemented a "high-quality student strategy", and significantly improved the quality of talent training.
In 1998, the "Western bet365 mobile app" New Year Tea Party was held
“When running education, you must first have students in mind”
Ding Zuyi, with his outstanding courage and courage, created a new model of cross-domain development of private higher education. Ding Zuyi also devoted himself to treating his students.
“When running education, you must first have students in mind.” Ding Jing said that her father once told her that educational practitioners, whether teachers or other staff, must not only impart the cultural knowledge needed by students without reservation They must care for and care for them like a loving mother, and build them into pillars with both ability and political integrity who are useful to society.
The reporter learned that during the 25 years of running the school, during traditional festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day, Ding Zuyi would accompany the students to celebrate the festival, sing songs to the students, distribute moon cakes, and insist on inspecting the canteen and teaching buildings every day. On campus, students often see the principal caring about and handling school affairs of all sizes.
Putting students first and solving students’ needs and difficulties has always been an important philosophy of Ding Zuyi’s academic studies.
In the 1990s, due to the inconvenience of transportation, the "black buses" outside the school were a serious problem affecting the travel safety of teachers and students of Spanish bet365 mobile app. Forcibly soliciting passengers, overloading and speeding, selling tickets at high prices, and several serious traffic accidents have occurred.
Ding Zuyi led the teachers to "check illegal cars" on the street outside the school.
In the history of the development of Western bet365 mobile app, there are countless examples of Ding Zuyi caring for students. The annual heating time in Xi'an is from November 15th to March 15th of the following year.
Hao Yuan, a 1999 student, recalled that as a student in the early stages of the development of her alma mater, she experienced and witnessed the development of the school. "The old dean has devoted a lot of effort to our generation of students. It can be said that he cares about our study and life in every detail. His charisma is impressive and he can answer students' demands in small notes.
Chairman Ding Jing distributed mooncakes to the students to celebrate the festival with them.
Alternation of old and new, innovation in inheritance
2012 is a year of transition between the old and the new at Xi’an bet365 mobile app University. This year, Ding Zuyi became ill from overwork and died of illness in Xi'an.
After taking over the management of the school, Ding Jing inherited his father’s school spirit and philosophy and carried them forward. At the same time, Ding Jing began to actively explore new development models from theory, system and practice, and began to promote various system innovations and reforms.
If it is not broken, it cannot be established. Ding Jing knows very well that in order to break through the shackles of the long-term governance structure of private schools, the first and crucial step is to remove the stubborn problem of "family-based school management."
Ding Jing conducts training for new teachers and cultivates a new generation of good teachers.
She said that in order for the school to achieve greater development and have more standardized management, it is necessary to build a modern university management system that is suitable for the school's conditions and can stimulate the school's development.
In 2016, Ding Jing took the lead in breaking the family tradition of private education and building a "four-in-one" modern university operating mechanism, enabling the school to run schools in accordance with the law, manage independently, democratically supervise, and social participation, and achieve scientific standards for private higher education. A major breakthrough in management.
Since then, Xi'an bet365 mobile app University has begun to implement the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the board of directors, and established a "four meetings" leadership system consisting of decision-making by the board of directors, implementation by the school council, political guarantee by the party committee, and supervision by the board of supervisors. Implement a modern university operation mechanism in which the organizer has legal person property rights and supervisory rights, the board of directors has decision-making power, the school council independently exercises school management rights, and the school party committee implements supervision and guarantee.
At this point, the school's decision-making power, execution power, and supervision power are completely separated, with mutual checks and balances. The boundaries are clear, and the authorization and supervision are in place.
Ding Jing issues degree certificates to students.
Ding Jing, with his excellent management skills and international educational vision, has led the Chinese bet365 mobile app company on the development path of creating a first-class private university with characteristics and providing education that satisfies the people.
In 2014, the school was identified as one of the first batch of application-oriented transformation pilot colleges by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education. In 2016, it was rated as a "Management-Office-Assessment" pilot college in Shaanxi Province; in 2018, it was rated as a first-class college construction unit in Shaanxi Province; In 2019, it was rated as a national university with typical experience in innovation and entrepreneurship, and won many honors such as the title of "National May 4th Red Flag Youth League Committee" by the Youth League Central Committee.
In September this year, the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education announced the results of the 2022 "Education Family" selection, and Ding Jing's family was honored to be on the list.
Ding Jing takes action to promote “noble education” and pays attention to students with special needs.
Public reports show that the Ding Jing family has attached great importance to learning and teaching for generations, focusing on farming and studying in rainy days and benefiting the neighbors. His grandfather, Ding Chenggang, "dedicated his heart and soul to the benefit of his hometown, and worked hard to cultivate the peaches and plums." He devoted himself to education in his hometown in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Ding Jing has followed her father in private higher education since the 1990s. Since taking over as the school's chairman in 2012, she has led Xi'an bet365 mobile app College to fully implement the party's education policy, implement the fundamental task of cultivating people with moral integrity, and insist on running the school in accordance with the law. , implement high-quality development.
Building a high-quality teaching team in the new era
Also in 2016, the school’s personnel management also underwent major reforms. The focus of this reform is to establish a clear employment orientation of "promoting the capable, demoting the mediocre, and eliminating the weak" and "promising people will have their place". At all costs, we will vigorously introduce high-level talents and urgently needed talents, especially high-level talents.
A good university needs a first-class teaching staff that is professional and dedicated. Ding Jing said that only by absorbing more talents can Western bet365 mobile app maintain its core competitiveness, and only through optimization that suits the school conditions can it support the school's higher development.
The desire for high-level talents is strong and urgent, and the attitude of embracing talents is more open and sincere. The reporter learned that the Chinese Translator has fully implemented the strategy of gathering talents with equal emphasis on "introduction + training + funding", actively introduced outstanding doctors from home and abroad, established "Zhongnan Scholars" and "Chief Professors", and vigorously carried out the "Teacher Capacity Improvement Plan"
Li Huahua, a professor who has been working in Spanish bet365 mobile app for 24 years and currently serves as the deputy dean of the School of English, said that the school attaches great importance to the improvement of teachers and does its best to secure further education opportunities for teachers.
"After I graduated from Western bet365 mobile app, the school leaders supported me to take the postgraduate entrance examination and reimbursed me a tuition fee of 10,000 yuan. After that, I was given the opportunity to study at Zhejiang University. After my academic qualifications improved, my salary at school also increased. There will be a significant increase," Li Huahua said.
Cui Zhilin introduced that the school improves the ability and level of the talent team through various forms, especially vigorously promoting the academic qualification improvement plan for young and middle-aged teachers. In recent years, 54 teachers have been sent to well-known universities at home and abroad for further study, and there are currently more than 100 teachers studying for doctoral degrees.
Teachers from Xi’an bet365 mobile app University conduct scientific research.
What makes Li Huahua feel particularly warm is that in addition to providing a development platform for teachers, the school also arranges a staff canteen, accommodation apartments, etc. in daily life. It prepares gifts for teachers during holidays and provides corresponding subsidies.
Cultivate application-oriented talents in an all-round way
The school is teacher-centered, and the teaching is student-centered.
In recent years, the teaching work of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University has achieved fruitful results. In 2019, the bet365 mobile app major of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University was approved as one of the first batch of national first-class undergraduate major construction sites; in 2021, the school will add two new national first-class undergraduate major construction sites.
With first-class majors and first-class teaching staff, we also need to create first-class courses.
Xiyi has made great efforts in digital construction and transformed one-third of the classrooms into smart classrooms. For example, in foreign language majors, cultural experience centers for Japanese, Chinese and other languages have been built to allow students to experience the cultural atmosphere of various countries and master professional knowledge at the same time.

In addition, Xiyi has established a preschool education experience center and purchased the most cutting-edge practical training equipment. In addition, a number of teaching centers such as medical and nursing practice have been established, as well as the National Affairs Museum, the School History Museum, etc., which focus on ideological education.
Xiyi also adheres to "open education" and actively carries out international exchanges and cooperation. At present, it has established friendly exchange and cooperation relationships with more than 50 universities in more than ten countries and regions, including the United States, Canada, Japan, and Germany.
Teachers and students interact actively in class.
In order to cultivate outstanding talents with all-round development of knowledge, abilities and qualities, Western bet365 mobile app has established more than 50 student clubs, including the press club, football club, basketball club, golf club, student union, etc.
Wang Ruotong, a senior student majoring in preschool education, was deeply moved when talking about his experience in participating in the club. She joined the press corps when she was a freshman and often received gifts from her seniors. The atmosphere in the entire club was harmonious. In addition to cooperation at work, there was also a lot of communication and help in study.
Following nature but not completely constrained by nature, Western bet365 mobile app is famous for its emphasis on the construction of academic style, adopting a fully closed quasi-military management, and building a solid fortress to protect students' learning and growth. It also has the "Study to Western bet365 mobile app" reputation.
Good classroom atmosphere.
“Letting students enter society with dignity and respect is our school’s basic requirement for employment,” Cui Zhilin said. Western bet365 mobile app maintains close cooperation with more than 3,000 enterprises and institutions to accurately match students' learning needs and career interests.
“The school will provide and contact us with internship units, and teachers will also recommend personalized internship units to us.” Wang Ruotong, who will graduate next year, said. According to statistics from the Spanish bet365 mobile app school, the one-time employment rate of students in the class of 2021 is 91.69%, and that of the class of 2022 is about 85%.
Looking to the future: creating a first-class private university in the country
In the past 35 years, more than 200,000 alumni from Western bet365 mobile app have taken root in various parts of the country and served in all directions.
Over the years, Western bet365 mobile app has also actively leveraged its advantages as a university, fulfilled its social responsibilities, served national strategies and regional economic development requirements, and assisted rural revitalization.
The reporter learned that in the poverty alleviation work of the "Two Links and One Package" and the "Double Hundred Project", Xiyi guided the implementation of education poverty alleviation, consumption poverty alleviation, and the establishment of an e-commerce poverty alleviation experience center, with a total investment of more than 5 million yuan. It also invested 150,000 yuan in Caowan Village, Guayuanzewan Township, Zizhou to establish the "bet365 mobile app Assistance Happiness Garden" to solve the problem of feeding the widowed and lonely elderly people, so that the assisted villagers received tangible benefits.
Thirty-five years of blue wisps on the road, thirty-five years of continuous singing, and the Western bet365 mobile app has grown from a "seedling" to a "towering tree". Cui Zhilin said that "challenges" are inevitable for Western bet365 mobile app to achieve today's achievements.
Cui Zhilin classified it into three aspects. First of all, education at home and abroad is currently undergoing revolutionary changes. "Internet + Education" has profoundly affected the optimal allocation of educational resources and prompted profound changes in the forms and methods of education and teaching.
Secondly, providing services for regional economic and social development is the mission of the construction and development of local undergraduate colleges. In the context of Xi'an building a national central city, Western bet365 mobile app is also facing the challenge of improving its innovation level and service capabilities. In addition, the in-depth advancement of Shaanxi Province’s “Four First-Class” construction plan and the implementation of policies to establish a modern vocational education system have enabled undergraduate-level vocational colleges to usher in great development.

But on the other hand, Western bet365 mobile app also faces unprecedented opportunities.
Cui Zhilin said that relevant policy guidance on higher education in Shaanxi Province is an important part of development. Policy documents such as the "Implementation Opinions on Building "First-Class Universities, First-Class Disciplines, First-Class Colleges, and First-Class Majors" clearly put forward specific requirements such as giving full play to the advantages of a strong education province and accelerating the construction of a strong education province.
In addition, the school’s own conditions and circumstances are also the key to development. As one of the first batch of "first-class colleges" construction units in Shaanxi Province and the first private university in Shaanxi Province to be approved as a national-level first-class professional construction site, Xi'an bet365 mobile app will seize the current "new stage" and make full use of the policy support from the country and Shaanxi Province to accelerate the development of first-class majors in Shaanxi Province.
Interior view of the modern teaching building of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University
It started from renting a classroom and an office in Tumen, Xi'an, then purchased its own school building at the foot of the beautiful Zhongnan Mountain, and built a garden-like campus covering an area of nearly 2,000 acres. Behind this is not only Ding Zuyi and Ding Jing’s decades-long enthusiasm and belief in education, but also the sweat and blood of “Western translators” of all generations, making Western bet365 mobile app a pearl in the history of domestic private education.
The cherry blossoms on the campus of Xi'an bet365 mobile app University are in full bloom, turning into a sea of pink flowers
In the new era, Western bet365 mobile app has a clearer goal. The “14th Five-Year Plan for Educational Development of Xi’an University of bet365 mobile app and Interpretation” states that “Western bet365 mobile app should promote the construction of first-class colleges and first-class majors, improve the level of school running, and promote the school to build a distinctive application-oriented national first-class private university.”
Cui Zhilin said that in the future, Western bet365 mobile app will be based on the new development stage, implement new development concepts, build a new development pattern, and actively adapt to the new situation of economic, social and higher education development. Vigorously strengthen the construction of the talent team, effectively promote the talent-strengthening school strategy, and cultivate a group of applied talents who are based in Xi'an, facing the west, serving Shaanxi, and serving the grassroots, with a sense of social responsibility, innovative awareness, entrepreneurial employability, and adaptability to the needs of social development.
Spanish bet365 mobile app students celebrate graduation.
In Xi'an in October, the autumn colors are gradually dyeing. The red and gold-matched gate of the Spanish bet365 mobile app School shines in the gentle sunshine. It is like an open book, containing cultural history and recording stories of youth.
