Affected by the epidemic, Professor Jia Changchuan and I have not seen each other for more than three months. It turned out that I felt that his body and bones were not bad, plus I had been busy with the school's epidemic prevention work, and I did not often contact Teacher Jia. By the time he learned the news of his hospitalization, his condition was already very serious. A few days ago, when I heard that Elder Jia had passed away, I was very shocked and very saddened.
I only heard that Jia Lao's health has not been very good in recent years, and I did not expect that the old disease had recurred. After Jia Lao's death, when I went to visit relatives at the home of the elderly, his wife said that in 2017, Jia Lao had rectal tumor removal surgery, and the operation was quite smooth, and the early condition had been quite stable. Probably from the previous year, the condition gradually deteriorated, and later transferred to the lungs. Because his family lived in Chang'an University, after the unsealing was lifted at the beginning of this year, he was admitted to the hospital in the middle of January.
Noble pursuit of life and educational sentiments are admirable
Jia Lao is a person of insight who is truly devoted to the development of national higher education and science and technology, and his noble pursuit and educational spirit can be sung and wept, and he is the mentor of our soul.
He often said: "Public colleges and universities must require retirement at a certain age, but I think people cannot be idle, I want to change the battlefield, change a position, go to private colleges and universities with unlimited systems, continue to exert residual heat in the national higher education cause and the country's scientific and technological fields, and make more contributions to the country and society." ”
That's what he said and that's what he did. Unlike many professors and experts, after retirement, they will be completely disarmed and returned to the field, and go home to enjoy the joy of the world. He is very different, just retired from Chang'an University to Xi'an Siyuan College, and has been working for nearly 18 years, which has deeply affected and touched us.
In fact, many of us are very hard and hardworking, but compared with Jia Lao's spirit of silently dedicating his life to the front line of education and scientific and technological development, many of us young people should feel ashamed of ourselves and should have admiration.
A forward-looking strategic vision and tactical experience shine brightly
Jia Lao is a truly forward-looking industry expert in education strategies and teaching tactics, and his charisma and academic spirit shine brightly, which is an example for us to learn.
In terms of education and teaching, Jia Lao has a very cutting-edge concept, both strategic vision and tactical experience. Strategically, he actively advocates and promotes the reform and development of the school's electronic telecommunications major, and advocates the construction of Internet of Things related majors. As the head of the Department of Computer Science and Technology, he took the lead in proposing and introducing more advanced IPV6 technology to the school in 2005, and built the first IPV6 laboratory in colleges and universities in the province.
IPV6 technology has the advantages of larger address space, fast transmission speed, more secure transmission mode, etc., which can solve the problem of insufficient IP address, and the technology is very advanced. In 2022, IPV6+ technology appeared for the first time at the Beijing Winter Olympics, enabling more stable and rapid winter Olympic news and video broadcasting. It can be seen that Jia Lao is really far-sighted in the strategic and tactical fields of science and technology and education.
Tactically speaking, Jia Lao attaches great importance to the training of talent teachers, and carefully guides, educates, helps, unites and influences every young and middle-aged teacher around him. He has guided and helped at least 100 young and middle-aged teachers, no matter what the subject of the teacher, speaking of Jia Lao, everyone sincerely admires, and even many teachers in the Physical Education College have also been guided and helped by him.
Elder Jia has devoted a lot of effort to many young and middle-aged teachers in their professional title promotion and daily teaching and scientific research work. He is high-spirited, does not ask for money, does not seek retribution, but is doing his best to cultivate outstanding young teachers for the country and for the school, and then through young teachers, cultivate more outstanding young students. This kind of educational tactics and thinking can be described as well-intentioned and respectful.
The boldness of planning big things with a big picture is respected
Jia Lao is a wise man who really has a big picture in mind to do great things for the school, and his great wisdom and low-key introversion are respected, and he is a model for us to follow.
In 2017, in order to promote the upgrading of the school's educational level, Jia Lao and Professor Liu Chongxuan, who was then the dean of the School of Engineering, took the initiative to strive for a joint training project for graduate students for the school according to the school's discipline construction development plan when we all did not know it. During this period, this work was not discussed at the president's office meeting, nor was it discussed at the party-government joint meeting. When asked about them, they only said that they were applying for this project, as long as the school cooperated with the completion of the relevant declaration process, and then reported to the school leaders when support was needed.
The mountains are self-exalted, and the sea is self-explanatory. The bigger the pattern, the easier it is to succeed. With the joint efforts of Jia Lao, Professor Liu Chongxuan and other teachers, on January 10, 2018, the Provincial Department of Education, the Provincial Degree Commission, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, and the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission jointly issued a document, and the "Chang'an University-Xi'an Siyuan College Control Engineering Master's Degree Joint Training Workstation" was approved, and began to train master's students in 2018.
Zeng Guofan said: "Those who seek great things should pay attention to the pattern first." "There is a good idea in the chest, and the big pattern in the heart, when the time comes, you can show your skills and soar up to ninety thousand miles."
In fact, it is very difficult to apply for the province's postgraduate joint training demonstration workstation, and it is necessary to be relatively mature in all aspects of teachers and hardware to be successful. Fortunately, intelligent manufacturing is actually a combination of electronic information technology and mechanical manufacturing, Jia Lao is an expert in electronic information, and Professor Liu Chongxuan is an expert in mechanical manufacturing. The two experts joined hands and applied for the joint training workstation of master's degree students in control engineering after unremitting efforts. This is of great significance for us to cultivate more, more excellent, more scientific research ability and level of young and middle-aged teachers.
Of course, in the construction and development of the postgraduate joint training demonstration workstation in recent years, Jia Lao has also been making efforts for the postgraduate teachers of the workstation, always caring for helping and promoting our young and middle-aged teachers, and making great efforts for the declaration and construction of the postgraduate workstation.
Because of this, in the 20th anniversary of the school celebration in 2018, the first ten tenured professors nominated and nominated the most are Professor Jia Changchuan and Professor Liu Chongxuan, who seek great things, have a big picture in mind, and have made significant contributions to the school and noble personality charm, which have won the unanimous recognition of teachers and students.
The pride of the "third spring" of education will always shine brightly
Jia Lao is a cultivator who is truly enthusiastic about the country's education and scientific and technological undertakings, and his pure heart and dedication are vivid and eternal, which is a beacon in our hearts for educating people.
Over the years, I think the first person who has contributed a lot to the development of the school is Mr. Chen Zhongzhong, who supported us in founding this private university in his hometown of Bailuyuan, and he is indispensable. Then after the completion of the school, from the professional construction, academic research, education and teaching to have an important impact on the school, it will belong to Professor Jia Changchuan.
Jia Lao, starting from being the head of the department, taught students and young teachers by example, continuously improved the teachers and scientific research team from a strategic height and perspective, and when the conditions were very ripe, he actively and quietly applied for the joint training project for graduate students for the school.
Now it seems that Jia Lao has achieved the "third spring" of teaching and scientific research in Siyuan College.
It has been learned that Jia Lao was transferred from the military's scientific research institute to Chang'an University. In the military research institute, he engaged in highly classified and high-end scientific research projects and scientific and technological research in the field of national weapons. For his many meritorious deeds, his family was awarded the honor of "Glorious House", which is an affirmation of his contributions by the scientific research institutes of the army.
After transferring to Chang'an University, he became a very famous expert professor of Chang'an University, which had a great influence on the development of teaching and scientific research of the school, and achieved a number of remarkable achievements in the fields of science and technology and education and scientific research, which was very influential, and both school leaders and colleagues respected and loved him.
After retiring from Chang'an University, Jia Lao came to Siyuan College to continue to shine, creating new achievements in the new world, in the field of education and scientific research that he loved all his life, and helping the school achieve a number of breakthroughs. He regards the school as his home, treats young and middle-aged teachers as his own children, helps many young and middle-aged teachers to achieve the improvement of teaching and scientific research level and academic qualifications, and realizes his ambition of "the third spring".
Jia Lao's life has been transferred to three teaching and scientific research units, and he has made particularly outstanding contributions in each place, and Siyuan people will always be grateful to him. When he was alive, he often placed deep expectations on the school, hoping that the school could get the right to award master's degrees as soon as possible and achieve a higher level of schooling and leapfrogging. Now that he is gone, we teachers and staff must inherit the legacy of Elder Jia, unite as one, continue to work hard, and strive to realize Elder Jia's wishes as soon as possible, so that Siyuan College can obtain the right to award master's degrees as soon as possible, and build the school into a better and more powerful one.
May you go all the way, may your spirit live forever! Siyuan people will always miss you!
