he qinghua of sunward intelligent technology: i prefer to be called teacher he

this chairman's experience in starting his own business makes people call him a "late bloomer", and his experiences before starting his own business are also "amazing".
educated youth sent to the countryside, a worker at a bus factory, self-taught, repeatedly promoted...
in 1980, he was admitted to the graduate school of central south university with a high school diploma. he graduated with a master's degree in 1983. in 1988 and 1991, he was promoted to associate professor and professor respectively. from 1994 to 1996, he served as vice dean of the school of mechanical and electrical engineering of central south university. in 1998, he was appointed as a doctoral supervisor.
"after i graduated from graduate school, i stayed in school to teach for 15 years. during this period, i put a lot of effort into achieving some scientific research results, but the relevant companies have not been very smooth in the process of converting them into products. i am engaged in applied science and always want to apply my scientific research results to society, so i thought, why don’t i start a business to achieve my goal." professor he qinghua said in an interview.
in march this year, founder he qinghua resigned as honorary chairman of shanhe intelligent, but continued to serve as shanhe intelligent's chief expert after his resignation.
even now, when you walk into shanhe intelligent, employees affectionately call he qinghua "teacher he". compared with "founder" and "chairman", he himself prefers the title "teacher he".

he was a person who had the guts to give up his iron rice bowl, and his courage did not stop there. he thought it was better to do architecture directly than to make models. then he led the company to boldly transform and became a leading enterprise in the space environment art design of domestic cultural theme museums.
