【sun zhengyu】what is a university? as far as i understand it, there are two words to describe a university: reason. it is about the principles of the universe, the principles of discovery and invention, the principles of life and society, and the principles of civilization and progress. what is a university teacher? a university teacher is a reasonable person who supports teaching with scientific research and educates people with theory.

【sun zhengyu】how can he do real research and educate people? i emphasize one word: "truth". the first is sincerity, which means you have an irrepressible desire to write and speak, and you must do it well. the second is truth. you must have a kind of accumulation of dripping water through a stone, accumulate literature in your heart, accumulate thoughts in your heart, and accumulate life in your heart. then the third is what i call truthfulness, which means you must have an insight that makes light of heavy tasks. i said that if you don't have a peak psychological experience called inspiration or intuitive enlightenment during the research process, you will not have creative results. the fourth is what i call truth. you must have a kind of argument that can peel off the cocoon and pull out the silk. you can organize, systematize, and logicize the results of your research. only in this way can you show the power of truth.

【sun zhengyu】what is the "least successful" thing about university education? the books are filled with rules, the teachers explain the rules, the students memorize the rules, the exams are filled with the rules, and the teachers look for the rules when marking the papers.

【sun zhengyu】when i teach and educate people, i emphasize these: first, you must first make him interested. without interest, he cannot learn; second, you must broaden his knowledge horizons. the more he knows, the more willing he is to learn; third, and more importantly, you must challenge his theoretical thinking and let him think about problems independently; finally, you must improve his life realm. only when he reaches a certain realm can he draw inferences from one example and apply it to other similar situations.

[gao chao, associate professor and doctoral supervisor, department of philosophy, jilin university]from school till now, i have always raised questions to him. i cannot say that i challenged him, but i always raised my own questions. however, mr. sun has always been: first, he tolerated my questions and challenges; second, he always responded to me very seriously and thought with me. over the years, sometimes i took the initiative to find him, and sometimes he took the initiative to find me. he said, i have some new views on your question and the relationship between philosophy and science. can you respond to the questions you raised to me before? it is precisely because of his persistent thinking on this issue that i embarked on this path and i will continue to think about this issue.

【zhang dun, professor of the school of philosophy and social sciences of jilin university and full-time researcher of the center for basic theoretical research of philosophy of jilin university】he is a talented person and a leader. we work in universities, such as teaching, scientific research, writing articles, and giving lectures. anyone can do it, but like professor sun, whether it is teaching, scientific research, or everything else, he can also lead the entire discipline. only he can do it, and others can't. i think this is not only professor sun's contribution to jilin university philosophy, but also his great contribution to jilin province's higher education.

【sun zhengyu】i am not a scholar who has made achievements, but a thinker who pursues philosophical questions. what makes me happiest is learning something every day, and my greatest ambition is to explore for a lifetime. if a person does what he wants to do all his life, then he should not be called a model worker, but a lucky or happy worker. i particularly like philosophy, and i have the ability to study and teach philosophy, so i think i am in the right place, and i feel very happy about it. this is my greatest experience in life.
