Zhao Jiahe Zhao Jiahe, a retired professor at the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, and saved money for his life. After retiring, he was anonymous and used all his savings to donate funds to school, helping students with financial difficulties in thousands of families to complete high school studies.

On July 22, 2012, Professor Zhao family and Professor left us forever. Professor Zhao Jiahe is humble and low -key, and has not promoted relevant information to the outside world during his lifetime. After his death, the story of the old professor was slowly spread by colleagues, friends, and students. These stories left valuable spiritual wealth to the students and future generations of Tsinghua University.

Professor Zhao Jiahe is a man

Professor Chen Zhangwu, who has worked with Zhao Jiahe for 25 years, tells the story between them. In the spring of 2009, Professor Zhao was diagnosed with lung cancer and found that cancer cells had metastasized. In the following two years, he has been actively treating.

In March 2011, Professor Zhao asked Professor Chen to go home, and told Professor Chen after retirement, and he had been exerting the heat. He talked about learning abroad, and he also had some part -time jobs in the country. He also made some investment, so he had some money in his hand, hoping to use these money to help those cold school students to complete high school studies.

It turned out that since 2006, Professor Zhao has formulated a school aid plan, and has also cooperated with China Education Television to help Hanmen students studying in high school. One person has 2,000 yuan a year. More than 1,000 people. Now Professor Zhao knows that his body cannot support him to do this, so he hopes that Professor Chen can help him continue to fulfill this wish.

Professor Zhao wants to donate all the savings, but Professor Chen advises him to say to himself and his wife, and he has to leave a little to the children, but Professor Zhao believes that leaving money to the child is not a matter. Lin Zexu has a couplet written: "If the descendants are like me, what to leave money to do, the wise and more wealth, it will damage his will;

Later, with the assistance of everyone, the Xinghua Assistance Foundation was established. Professor Chen had proposed the word "home and", but Professor Zhao opposed it. Tell his names to the supported students. Finally, everyone decided to use "Xinghua", because Xinghua, Xinghua, and revitalizing China, everyone can participate in the future. In addition, he also emphasized that he and his family will not hold any position in the foundation. This is the feelings and style of an excellent Communist Party member.

The Xinghua Assistance Foundation began to carry out student aid activities in Gansu, Qinghai and other places, and the local government also promoted it. However, Professor Zhao specially called his name in the manuscript of the promotional manuscript, and do not bring him any gifts when returning to Beijing.

People only know that Professor Zhao is a retired professor at Tsinghua University, and he doesn't know much about him. Professor Zhao is an authentic Tsinghua child. He was born in Tsinghua Garden on September 21, 1934. During his growth, he followed his parents several times and was later admitted to the Department of Electric Department of Tsinghua University. At the time of graduation, because of his excellent academic academics, he won the first "Excellent Graduate" Medal of Tsinghua University.

Later, in the 43 years of Professor Zhao's teaching and education, he successively served as the person in charge of multiple disciplines. During the teaching process, his happiest moment was "talking about a question, others understand".

The life of Professor Zhao and Professor's life was like continuously releasing the light and hot charcoal fire.

Professor Zhao Jiahe is a teacher

In Professor Zhao's life, there are countless students he have taught. Many students have been proud of Professor Zhao, and Xu Yuqing is one of them. At that time, Xu Yuqing had also become a teacher. In a summer of the early 1980s, Xu Yuqing took the students to conduct more than ten days of investigation in the countryside. Xu Yuqing was late in a class, and Professor Zhao, who was in charge of teaching at the time, severely criticized her.

After a few days, Xu Yuqing has been waiting for punishment. Unexpectedly, Professor Zhao said kindly: "It is not easy to train a teacher, and such errors will not appear again in the future."

Although the students are harsh when they make mistakes, they are still loving as their father. Professor Zhao's office does not have any luxurious furnishings. His office has only a few square meters, and there is no open window. Xu Yuqing often saw that some students lined up at the door of Professor Zhao waiting to ask questions. Once, Xu Yuqing asked Professor Zhao: "Do you talk to so many students a day?" Professor Zhao said that with the students is his happiness.

Professor Zhao is not only a highly educated educator, but also a scholar with the world, but also a wise man who is at the forefront of the times. In Tsinghua's discipline construction, Professor Zhao was the earliest pioneer and promoter who was the first to devote himself to it.

As one of the earliest domestic departments in accordance with international standards, the Department of Finance of the Tsinghua Institute of Economics and Management has also developed into one of the most dynamic financial departments in China and even the Asia -Pacific region. At the end of 1990, the Shanghai Stock Exchange was established on the first securities exchange in China, but few people knew that the H shares that everyone now knows is one of the original promoters.

Professor Zhao is a selfless dedication teacher and an educated educator. He dedicated his life to education. I believe that under his spiritual inspiration, more and more people will join the education industry and become a teaching education industry to become a teaching education industry and become a teaching education industry. Human excellent teacher.

Professor Zhao Jiahe saves Professor Zhao's frugality in learning, and uses a total of 14.09 million yuan for decades to set up foundation to help children who cannot go to school. During the drafting stage of the charter of the foundation, Professor Zhao said: "We can't do much money. We must insist on sending charcoal in the snow and use the money in the most needed and worth it. The professor also personally wrote the purpose of "sending charcoal in the snow" as the purpose of Xinghua's school assistance.

On July 22, 2012, Professor Zhao family closed his eyes with peacefully and left us forever. That night, Professor Zhao's body was sent to Xiehe Hospital for medical research. Later, at the recognition meeting, the volunteer Bai Rui of the foundation saw Professor Zhao's son, Zhao Qiang. My father did not leave you so much money at all, but donated it to Gansu to help you go to school with unrelated cold gate students. Do you have no complaints? "

Zhao Qiang said blandly: "Our family supports his father's decision. We admire him and know that he is right."

A single spark can start a prairie fire. Many children who have received Xinghua also wrote thanks to express their mood. Li Xuhua said: "In the future, no matter where you go, no matter what you do, I will not forget that I am a Chinese. I think there will be a Xinghua student who I am funded in the future. The restraint face must be like my appearance. "

Lu Yanhong said: "Now, with the help of Xinghua, I have entered the university in my dream as expected. I study here comfortably. It is not only me, but also the children who come out of the poor mountainous areas. We remember this together. Love. "

Su Yali said, "Thank you, thank you for warming my entire youth with love and care. In the future, I will work hard to care about people who need help as you need to help."

Although Professor Zhao family has left us, we will never forget his contribution to students, teaching, and education.
