Flipping through the General Affairs Of the History of Transportation, published in 1936, the "Railway Management School" in chapter 3 has this record:

"In December of the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of The Ministry of Railways, which is specialized in scientific management and the construction machinery, ordered the transformation of the Transportation Institute into the Second School of Railway Management and Post and Telecommunications, and organized the Railway Management School on the western columns of the original school site, which was established in January 2006, and the internal organization under the principal consisted of the director of academic affairs, the director of student supervision, the director of affairs, the accountant, the clerk, and the clerk. In the same month, the Ministry of Communications hired Congressman Chen Ce as president, and in July, Chen Ce resigned. The ministry sent Yu Renfeng to follow. In July of 1977, the Ministry of Communications proposed to add two schools to supervise, with Ye Gongqi, deputy director of the Ministry of Communications, as the superintendent of the road and postal schools, and Shou Fengbiao as the director of academic affairs.

In January of the eighth year of the Republic of China, (Yu) Renfeng resigned from his part-time job and sent Shen Qi to serve as the principal. In December of the ninth year of the Republic of China, (Ye) Gongqi proposed that the cabinet department should reorganize the four schools under its jurisdiction, and the ministry sent Xu Shizhang to prepare for the jiaotong university.

The people mentioned in the article, such as Ye Gongqi, Chen Ce, Yu Renfeng, Shen Qi, and Xu Shizhang, were both industry celebrities and university presidents in the transportation system of the early Minchu, so they were not strangers to them. Only the dean was very unfamiliar, Shou Fengbiao, and even his last name was rare. From the staff table of the Railway Management School, it is known that the director of academic affairs, Shou Fengbiao, has served longer than the director of the school supervision and the director of the shu affairs, and he arrived in December 1916 and left in July 1921, and has experienced five principals before and after, namely Chen Ce, Yu Renfeng, Shen Qi, Ye Gongqiu, and Hu Hongyou.

Shou Fengbiao's life is very legendary, leaving many interesting stories. He was born in Shoujiadong, Yongfeng Township, Chenxian County, Hunan Province (present-day Jintian Village, Bailutang Town, Suxian District, Chenzhou City) at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the first surname is a rare surname in China, ranking 951st among the hundred family names, with a population of only about 4,000. Xiang, Su, Dian, Hubei, Sichuan, Shanghai, Taiwan, Shaanxi, and Beijing all have families with the surname of the first surname, while Hunan is mainly distributed in Chenxian County, Xiangtan, Yizhang, Changsha and Liuyang.

Chenxian is located in Shonan and is a place where talents are born, and General Deng Hua (Yongning Township), former deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army, Professor Huang Shiheng, former president of Hunan University (Yongfeng Township), dr. Li Musheng (Ao Shangxiang), former director of the Military Medical Bureau of the National Government, and Li Shiyang (Ao Shangxiang), former director of the Xiang'e Railway Administration, are all chenxian people. There was also a Shoubin (1888~1957) general, who was a member of the Zilian Rank and a third in the first cave in Yongfeng Township, Chenxian County.

It is roughly equivalent to today's residential students and auditors, while "foreign students" are day students.

While studying in Iwakura, he practiced martial arts and knocked over his Japanese classmates who were proficient in judo and provocative. He is fond of hand talk and has a good chess skill, and it is said that the Go master Wu Qingyuan was instructed by Shou Fengbiao when he was learning chess in Beiping.
