He returned to China in 1914 and worked as a professor at Peking University, and later as the director of the Department of Geology of Peking University, which was the earliest geology department established in my country.

He published "Journal of the Geological Research Society of National Peking University" and "Journal of the Geological Society of National Peking University" successively. These publications are also the earliest publications in my country's geological circles. In 1920, he initiated the establishment of the Chinese Society of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering and served as a director. In 1925, he transferred to Beiyang University in Tianjin (today's Tianjin University) and served as the dean and provost of the Department of Mining and Metallurgy. He was once the chairman of the school maintenance committee and acting school administrator. In 1931, he was appointed as the dean of the Geology Department of the School of Science of Sun Yat-sen University and the director of Guangdong and Guangxi. Director of the Geological Survey.

He attaches great importance to the introduction of new knowledge and new technologies at home and abroad. His teaching handouts are rewritten every year and new information is added. He has collected a lot of information during the geological and mineral survey work in Guangdong and Guangxi led by him. The Geological Survey of Guangdong and Guangxi

The institute's ore specimen collection and specimen identification equipment has reached a very high level, and it has also published many publications and geological maps.

The "Illustrated Book of Celebrities of the Republic of China" published in 1937 records his deeds.

From the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the beginning of the liberation of the country, he served as professor and director of the Department of Mining and Metallurgy at his alma mater, Tangshan Institute of Technology, for three times.

In 1952, the departments were restructured, and the Mining Department of Tang Yuan became the basic force for the establishment of Beijing Institute of Mining and Technology (now China University of Mining and Technology). He Jie was then transferred to Beijing to prepare for the establishment of Beijing Institute of Mining and Technology, and was appointed provost and vice president successively.

He once organized staff to compile an "English-Chinese Mining Vocabulary" for teaching and scientific research purposes.

After the "Cultural Revolution", he drafted a "Opinions on Developing my country's Mining Scientific Research" and submitted it to the leading departments.

In 1978, he participated in the National Science Conference held in Beijing and was the oldest representative at the conference. From 1953, he was elected as a member of the first session of the Beijing CPPCC and a member of the second session of the Standing Committee, and attended the second session of the National People's Congress as a representative of the CPPCC.

He made great contributions to the training of geological talents in my country and the geological survey and mineral resource development in South China.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, He Jie accepted Mao Yisheng's invitation to teach at his alma mater, Tangshan Institute of Technology*, which had just moved to Pingyue County, Guizhou.

In 1940, he transferred to Chongqing University as the director of the Department of Mining and Metallurgy, and concurrently served as the gold exploration chief of the Gold Mining Bureau of the Resources Commission.
