From being sent to Tsinghua University in 1985 to becoming vice-chancellor of Tsinghua University in 2015, from rejecting Princeton University professor, resigning as vice-chancellor of Tsinghua University, to preparing to build a research university, West Lake University, and becoming president, "Research Bull" Shi Shi wants to do more than just play to his own light.

his father gave him the name, but didn't wait until the day it came true.
was born into an intellectual family, his father graduated from Harbin University of Technology and his mother from The Beijing Institute of Mining.

The next year, in the confusion, Shi Agong sank his heart, waste sleep and forget to eat in the laboratory hard work, only gradually feel the beauty of the academic world, gradually have a little self-confidence in their scientific research ability.
the third year, Shi Igong has 9 to understand the logic of scientific research, in the introduction on the basis of a lot of interest, often in the laboratory to do more than eleven o'clock, catch the last school bus back to the bedroom.
of his postgraduate studies, Shi's hard work beed famous in the laboratory.
He described his postdoctoral time in New York as "the hardest two years of my life", doing experiments every night until more than three o'clock in the middle of the night and going back to the lab at nine o'clock in the morning to start a new day.

said Princeton is the best place in the United States to do research, and that there is no need to go back to Tsinghua if it is only from a scientific point of view.
the purpose of his return to Tsinghua was not just to do scientific research, but to educate people, to train a group of young people with ideals and courage to take on roles, and to influence them when their plasticity was still high.
he is also physically fulfilling his promise.
According to the medical figure Zhi learned that ShiYiGong work more than 16 hours a day, each semester on the full 100 lessons, the rest of the time to lead the team to do scientific research projects, as vice-principal, but also to deal with administrative and other things.

Shi Igong, who became the first president of West Lake University, said at the establishment of the university that the future will have the world's most outstanding group of scientists, train the best young talents, engage in the most cutting-edge basic and applied research, explore the scientific research and education system mechanism suitable for China's national conditions, provide a strong engine and support for China's high-tech sustainable development, and make a worthy contribution to the world civilization.
