After starting into a job for four years, she entered SCNU for further study in 1956, and stayed on as a teacher after graduation. Sharing the same age with SCNU, she has indescribable sincerity and love for her "peers". Over the past 60 years, she has witnessed the transformation of the classrooms of SCNU from humble huts to modern buildings, and felt the road under her feet change from rough paths to smooth lanes. Similarly, the school has witnessed her life. The old professor has always been very fond of SCNU. Although she has retired, professor Zhou still pays close attention to the development of SCNU. In her opinion, the purpose of university education is not only to train a college students, but to train a person who is useful to the society. On the occasion of the 86th anniversary of the university, she wishes the university an all-round development and an early entry into the ranks of world-class universities.
