instead of sitting in front of his spacious and elegant desk for an interview, Chen Xiaoyue asked the reporter to sit on the comfortable and soft sofa, but he pulled a folding chair and sat opposite the reporter. He has repeatedly said that he has nothing to interview, especially when it comes to his major, and he is even more frank: the things I do are very professional, and my academic experience is not story-telling, so I am afraid I can't write anything attractive.

Chen Xiaoyue is a southerner, but he was born with a tall and straight figure and an angular face, which can be described as a southerner and a northerner. Probably because you have been a worker and a farmer for nearly 1 years, it is difficult for you to find any pedantry from this quick-talking scholar! Chen Xiaoyue talked about his feeling of working and farming: I always thought it was the most important experience in my life. In rural areas, real life forces you to think about problems from another angle, and many of my methods of understanding problems were formed at that time. If I had stayed in tsinghua campus without that experience, I might have lost a lot of things today.

At that time, due to his father's serious historical problems, Chen Xiaoyue was not even qualified to go to the Great Northern Wilderness for further education. Later, Chen Xiaoyue and a dozen other students who failed the same political examination boarded the train to the north without authorization, but in the Great Northern Wilderness, they were not waiting for land reclamation, but attending a learning class. Then, the farm leaders asked them to go home for this group of unorganized and undisciplined people. In this way, Chen Xiaoyue stayed in the Great Northern Wilderness for only half a year, and finally came to Guanzhuang Commune in Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province, and in his own words, he went from black land to yellow land. He said: farmers look at the problem very practically and simply. I remember when I first arrived in Shaanxi, a fellow villager asked me how long I would stay. I said I didn't know, maybe I would stay forever. Villagers smiled and said to me, you city people will eventually return to the city. On another occasion, everyone sat around and chatted with fellow villagers, saying that farmers were obliged to pay public grain. Villagers admit this, but they ask us:' But why do you city people take all flour and rice away and let us eat coarse grains? ！' When I first jumped the queue, I always felt that I was an educated young man from the city, and I still had some pride. But after a long time, I found that we are actually no different from farmers, and what farmers ask is exactly what we ask. Chen Xiaoyue said that the greatest achievement of his 1-year living in Shaanxi was that he learned to look at problems with the most direct eyes and deal with them with the most simple methods-this way of thinking has deeply influenced and dominated him so far. As a professor and vice president of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, Chen Xiaoyue's current academic and teaching main battlefield is financial management. However, he studied automobile engineering from undergraduate to doctoral students.

why did you study' automobile' for 1 years, but then you opened a new battlefield and started a major that had nothing to do with it? -Almost all journalists covering Chen Xiaoyue can't get around this question.

In p>1978, Chen Xiaoyue was admitted to the Department of Automotive Engineering of Tsinghua University, becoming the oldest undergraduate in this major at that time. In 1988, Chen Xiaoyue finished the doctoral course of automobile engineering and became the third doctoral student in automobile in Tsinghua University after the degree system was restored in China. If he continues to engage in the research of automobile specialty, he is sure to make something of it. When talking about giving up automobile major and engaging in economic management research, Chen Xiaoyue linked this issue with the current situation of China automobile industry. He believes that one of the main reasons for the backwardness of China's automobile industry is the backward management, and to improve the overall level of China's automobile industry, it is necessary to improve the management level. In fact, this is only one aspect of the problem. The reason why he made a major change in his life course in the year of no doubt is mainly related to his psychological stereotype formed by his life at the grassroots level. It should be admitted that the so-called transformation is actually giving up the achievements and status that have been achieved, which is quite terrible for many people, but it is not terrible for me. This group of us all have such a * * * in common, that is, we switch when we need to switch, simply and neatly, never dragging our feet, without much consideration, and without so much utilitarian color. Indeed, life is actually a line connected by choice points, some of which are driven by fate, while others are controlled by fate, and Chen Xiaoyue seems to have tasted both of them. When you left Beijing for the countryside, no one told you when you could come back, or even whether you could come back. This kind of transformation seems terrible today, but it was not considered as a serious choice at that time. You think, you have nothing to throw away and sacrifice, and any transformation can only make your situation better than before.

Chen Xiaoyue's words sound like plain words, but every word is saturated with his rational thinking about life. No one who has the same experience as Chen Xiaoyue may find it difficult to understand the profound meaning of his words. In 199, Chen Xiaoyue traveled across the ocean as a visiting scholar, and went to Canada's Western Ontario Business School to study business administration alone-it can be said that this famous Canadian Harvard is a new starting point for Chen Xiaoyue's academic career.

at first, the school only gave me tuition and living expenses for one year. A year later, I reported my studies to the school like this: the first half of the year was in a fog, and the teacher couldn't understand the lecture; In the second half of the year, although I understood the teacher's lecture, I still couldn't communicate freely with my classmates (they all spoke some nonstandard dialect slang and wisecracks). When he first arrived in Canada, Chen Xiaoyue's study pressure mainly came from English. Every exam, Canadian students have written a big pile of paper, but he has only written a few pages; It only takes a few minutes for a Canadian student to read a case, but it takes him 3 to 4 minutes. However, Chen Xiaoyue has a creed that has been adhered to for many years: Never raise a white flag! After a period of hard work, his English level has not only been greatly improved, but also his total score in a course was actually the only student who got an A among 4 students in the class! During his study, Chen Xiaoyue often helped his Canadian professors to sort out teaching plans or do other auxiliary work, and after a long time, he established a good teacher-student relationship with his teachers. Later, with the help of the Canadian professor, Chen Xiaoyue was able to extend his studies for another year.

through this study, I found that management and engineering are the same in thinking mode, and their methodology, analytical tools, supporting systems and even philosophical thoughts are also the same, but the objects they deal with are different. Like Harvard in the United States, Western Ontario Business School also implements case teaching method. During his two years in western Ontario, he came into contact with more than 2 cases of business administration, gained a clear and specific understanding of the fields of business, finance, accounting and so on, and felt good when he learned it, realizing that he had entered a brand-new academic field. In addition, through this study, Chen Xiaoyue's English was forced out. Now, he is not only a part-time professor in western Ontario, but also gives lectures in many European and American countries every year. No matter he gives lectures abroad or gives lectures to foreign students in our school, he speaks English. In order to introduce foreign advanced management theories into China, so that domestic business circles can learn from them when exploring their own business management models, Chen Xiaoyue has compiled and published International Joint Ventures, International Management and Harvard Business School professor Michael? Porter's masterpieces of business administration, such as Competitive Strategy and Competitive Advantage, are foreign management monographs. For Chen Xiaoyue, two historic events in China were also two great opportunities in his personal life: one was to resume the college entrance examination in 1977. If Comrade Xiaoping thought it was not too late to grasp the college entrance examination two years later, then we had almost no chance; Another time was Deng Xiaoping's southern tour in 1992. Comrade Xiaoping asked us to unswervingly follow the road of reform and opening up, which made me more convinced that what I learned abroad was also useful at home.

In p>1984, Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management was formally established, and now the Prime Minister of the State Council, Zhu? Ji personally served as the dean and often visited the college to guide the work. This college is a first-class higher education institution of economic management in China. Because the accounting department in Tsinghua University was established late, and the college also realized that it was very important together, Chen Xiaoyue just returned from abroad in 1992 and immediately devoted himself to the preparation of the accounting department of the college. In March 1999, Chen Xiaoyue was appointed as the vice president of the newly established National Accounting Institute. Chen Xiaoyue has been doing pioneering work all these years. Just like a table was set up, he shook it hard with his hand and felt that there was no problem, and then he went to set up another new table. It is not too much to compare him to a pioneer cow-he is used to it and enjoys it.

in the complicated management system, Chen Xiaoyue's main direction is financial management. Chen Xiaoyue said that he is engaged in empirical research, some of which can be called confirmatory research, such as analyzing and verifying various signals in the market, especially price signals. In this regard, he has published a large number of papers, among which "Empirical Research on Weak Efficiency of China Capital Market" is considered as a representative paper in this field by peers. In addition, he also translated the accounting part for the forthcoming Encyclopedia of International Business Administration. In recent years, Chen Xiaoyue, as the first person in charge, has presided over the application of the capital structure, capital cost and option method of state-owned enterprises in China as a project of the National Natural Science Foundation, and participated in other research projects.

For many years, Chen Xiaoyue has been working hard and silently on this acre of land. After reading Chen Xiaoyue's resume, one question caught the reporter's attention, that is, a well-known scholar like him has never won any awards. Speaking of this issue, Chen Xiaoyue is frank: he does not deny the significance and importance of the award, but he is not interested in the award and rarely participates in it, because he is worried that he will spend all his time outside learning for the award. Not long ago, the school gave me an award, which seems to be called …-he couldn't tell the name of this award! He has received many who's who lists, but he has never replied to one ... At this point, the reporter remembered a female economist who said in her recent book on the social and economic problems of contemporary China that it was necessary to be lonely and deserted to do true learning, and the excitement had nothing to do with true learning!

Since 1993, Chen Xiaoyue has been the vice president of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, but he hasn't let go of his coach. His students include undergraduate students, master students and doctoral students. He teaches undergraduates international finance, corporate financial management, futures and options and professional English; Tell graduate students about financial management and international financial management. At present, he is taking more than 2 master's and doctoral students, and there are more than 3 graduate students. Not long ago, they had a party between teachers and students, and the students came to a big room with a shout. This scene made Chen Xiaoyue, a teacher, feel a heartfelt relief and satisfaction!
