How can a security guard at North China University become an associate professor at the university?

The security guard Yao Enqing of North China University became an associate professor and a subject leader.

In 1991, at the age of 23, he graduated from a technical secondary school and became a security guard on campus. At that time, no one knew that Yao Enqing had already planted the seed of a dream in his heart.

In 2006, at the age of 38, he graduated from graduate school and became a university teacher standing on a three-foot podium. At that time, he was an incredible existence in the eyes of everyone.

In 2018, at the age of nearly 50, he has become the subject leader of the law major in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of North China University. At this time, he is still unswervingly engaged in the work he loves.

Yao Enqing’s life of struggle is the process of planting dreams and then waiting for them to blossom and bear fruit. And all this is just a matter of persistence.

In the 407 Physical Evidence Technology Laboratory in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of North China University, this middle-aged man with a kind smile does not look like a serious associate professor of law at all.

Yao Enqing’s ancestral home is Zuoquan County, Jinzhong City, but he was born, grew up and studied in Wenshui County, Luliang City. In 1991, Yao Enqing graduated from Shanxi Police College, which was still a technical secondary school at the time. Her first job was to be assigned to the Security Office of North China University and became a "campus security guard." "The registration day is August 14th." Twenty-seven years later, Yao Enqing still remembers the day when she first came to North China University. At that time, he graduated from school less than 5 days ago.

“Many people think that we are the security guards at that time, but in fact there are still differences.” Yao Enqing said. In addition to the status of "cadre", what is more important is the issue of management authority. After reporting in at the security office, Yao Enqing briefly visited the place where he was going to live and work, and then went home. On the way home, a thought suddenly came to his mind: "If one day, I can become a How great it would be for a university teacher to stand on the podium." But at that time, this idea was firmly buried in Yao Enqing's heart, and no one told her. Yao Enqing said that the idea had just been planted, but he was already about to start his "security guard" career. Yao Enqing stayed at her job for twelve years.

Although he stayed in the security office for twelve years, in addition to work, Yao Enqing was also constantly enriching himself during these twelve years, getting closer to his dream and his life bit by bit. Changes are also taking place. In the second year after working, he passed the adult college entrance examination and obtained the law major of the China Criminal Police College, and completed three years of studies and examinations through correspondence. In 1995, he got married and his wife worked as an accountant in school. In 1997, Yao Enqing took the adult college entrance examination again, and obtained a bachelor's degree in law from the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China two years later, also through correspondence.

Yao Enqing knew that if he wanted to become a university teacher, the minimum requirement was a graduate degree, so since 2000, he had been thinking about whether it was time to get a graduate degree. But what really made him determined was a small thing.

At that time, Yao Enqing was already the deputy section chief of the security department. Once while patrolling with his colleagues, he happened to see students in the classroom through the window. "At that time, I thought, even if I can't be a teacher, it would be nice to sit in the classroom and be a student!" Yao Enqing said. With this idea in mind, he picked up his textbooks again with the support of his wife and prepared for the postgraduate entrance examination.

“Many people advised me at the time, saying that I already had a stable job, so why bother anymore? But I just felt that if I didn’t take the postgraduate entrance examination, then I would have lost all my previous efforts to become a university student. All the efforts made by the teacher have been in vain, and I am not willing to accept it," Yao Enqing said.

After making up his mind, Yao Enqing began to review the knowledge of various subjects. However, he had not picked up a book for a long time, and he was still a little unable to study by himself, especially in English. Fortunately, the school had a postgraduate entrance examination tutoring class at the time. Yao Enqing signed up to participate. "There was a neighbor who happened to be a teacher in a tutoring class at the time, and he encouraged me to go," Yao Enqing said. The tutoring class was held in the evening, and Yao Enqing went directly to the classroom after get off work. “When I went to the classroom, I saw that the people in the classroom were all children who were more than ten years younger than me. I was really embarrassed at first. But as long as you sit down, it doesn’t matter.”

In addition to studying in tutoring classes, Yao Enqing also carries a vocabulary book for the postgraduate entrance examination and never leaves his hand wherever he goes. Yao Enqing said that his vocabulary collection for the postgraduate entrance examination was about the size of an A4 paper and had four to five hundred pages. He was afraid that he would not be able to remember it, so he could only memorize it over and over again, and then start from the beginning again.

After nearly a year of preparation, Yao Enqing took the postgraduate examination for the first time in 2001, but the result was not satisfactory. But he did not give up and took the postgraduate examination again in 2002. This time, Yao Enqing still failed. At this time, those around him who were holding a wait-and-see attitude all tried to persuade him to give up, "Just pretend that they didn't hear it. Anyway, I made up my mind at that time. I must pass the exam. If I can't do it in one year, I will do it in two years. If I don't do it in two years, I will do it in three." Years until I pass the exam," Yao Enqing said.

Hard work pays off. In the summer of 2003, Yao Enqing found out on the Internet that he was admitted as a graduate student in the Law Department of Shanxi University of Finance and Economics. His years of hard work finally paid off. "That year was particularly interesting. I was in the first year of graduate school and my son was in the first year of primary school, so my wife prepared a schoolbag for each of us.

"Recalling the time when he was admitted to graduate school, a child-like smile appeared on Yao Enqing's face.

Three years of graduate student life flashed by. The summer of 2006 became his special It has been a busy year, because he is about to become a university teacher. In order to leave a better first impression on the students, Yao Enqing prepared classes at home for two months.

Speaking of it. During the first class, Yao Enqing was still a little embarrassed. He had prepared 50 minutes of lectures, but the lecture was finished in more than 30 minutes. He had no choice but to let the students study by themselves for the rest of the class time. Based on experience and lessons, Yao Enqing began to study how to make her classes more fulfilling and interesting.

Yao Enqing found that the previous teaching model of law was to first study theoretical courses for a period of time, and then let students. They conducted experimental courses, but students were not very receptive to this teaching model, so he took the lead in using an interleaving method in his class. “Simply put, it is the interpenetration of theory and experiment. Yao Enqing said. For example, during class, he may ask one student to play the role of a robber and another student to play the role of a passerby. After the two people work together to perform a robbery scene, the scene will then lead to the topic of the class. Content. In doing so, he hopes that through live performances, students can maximize their awareness of self-protection in addition to learning relevant knowledge.

“Our law department was just established in 2000. I don’t have a lot of experience in various aspects, so I still have to explore on my own a lot of the time. Yao Enqing said. In order to achieve his goal, he not only learned experience from other teachers and other schools, but also created his own teaching model. The mock court was right next door to Classroom 407. Before Yao Enqing became a teacher Yes. But it is used more and more frequently in his classroom. He hopes to enhance students' three-dimensional sense and better integrate legal knowledge in this classroom. Here, he has played the role of judge countless times, teaching students.

Outside of the classroom, Yao Enqing is also a "companion" who is good at listening to his classmates. He feels that whatever the students put forward is pertinent. "Last year, I told Teacher Yao that it would be best for students in the preparatory class to participate in the moot court competition together, and Teacher Yao agreed after thinking about it. " said Chen Yu, a student of Yao Enqing. It turns out that in recent years, the law department has held a moot court competition with the law departments of other schools every year. In previous years, only the current students participated, but in the 2017 competition Chen Yu felt that it would be best to let the next batch of preparatory students watch the battle together and prepare in advance, so he made a suggestion to Yao Enqing, and Yao Enqing quickly agreed, "It's just to change to a bigger car, which may be more expensive. Just a little! But this is not only good for the students, but also good for the development of the college! Yao Enqing said.

In addition to exploring a class model that is more suitable for students, Yao Enqing has also been exploring and working hard in other aspects. In 2008, in order to write a book on the "Advertising Law", she also In order to improve himself, Yao Enqing studied "Economic Law" at the Law School of Renmin University of China as a visiting scholar, studying under Professor Liu Wenhua, a famous economic law scholar. A year later, Yao Enqing returned to North China University, and his "Advertising" "Research on Regulatory Legal System" has also basically taken shape.

When Yao Enqing returned to school, she found that students need to bring multiple textbooks such as civil law and criminal procedure law when taking legal experimental classes. The efficiency is not high either. Yao Enqing said. In order to change this "unpleasant" teaching method, he began to consider publishing a book. This book should preferably include more than a dozen courses required for a four-year undergraduate law major in the university. After After several years of hard work, Yao Enqing, as the editor-in-chief, wrote the book "Legal Experimental Tutorial"

"The main thing is that I like it! Speaking of all the efforts he has made to study law over the years, Yao Enqing is passionate.

From the first time he faced more than 50 students as a teacher in 2006, he has now become an associate professor in the School of Humanities , Yao Enqing has been on the Sanchi podium for nearly 12 years. During these 12 years, he has published the monograph "Research on the Legal System of Advertising Regulation", the textbook "New Economic Law Course", and "Legal Experiment Course". , Yao Enqing has a new goal, which is to set up a master's degree program in the college through the efforts of himself and his colleagues. "Students in our law department can only go to other schools if they want to study for graduate school. I think they must." Solve this problem. "When it comes to students' future life development, Yao Enqing is very serious. We believe that such a serious Yao Enqing will be able to do what he wants to do. Because he has that persistence and never gives up.
