He Jiaqing, a native of Anqing City, Anhui Province, was born in 1949. Because of many years of research and konjac technology and teaching konjac technology, he is known as the "konjac king". He is currently the director of the herbarium of the College of Life Sciences of Nanjing University and a professor of the School of Life Sciences of Anhui University.

After the reporter finished interviewing He Jiaqing, he felt a shock in his heart. He Jiaqing, a peer of the Republic, a university professor: But from the outside, it is hard to believe that He Jiaqing is a scholar, his thin body is only 100 catties, he is exposed to the wind and sun, he sleeps in the open air, the tribulations of nature, his face is dark, he is prematurely old, and he is in a blue polyester jacket, which is very shabby and out of step with the times.

Indifferent to fame and fortune, pure-hearted and desireless, rarely attracts the attention of others. Usually I always carry an extremely simple faded rag bag when I teach or go out.,I like to work and chat with a group of college students.,I hate the vulgarity of officialdom leaders.。 A meal of three meals throughout the year is always inseparable from steamed buns and porridge.

He often boldly pointed out in his classroom that the contemporary Chinese education circles were seriously politicized, formalism was drastically changed, and other sharp contradictions, which were misunderstood and excluded by some leaders.

Maybe there are more famous schools in China that are better than Anhui University; Perhaps there are more professors and teachers in China who have higher academic qualifications and titles than him, and who have written more books than him; Maybe there are more rich and famous university professors in China than him. However, it is really for the sake of students, for education, for poverty alleviation, for the country, without reservation, and dares to sacrifice his body, money and family marriage. Because:

Mr. He is a person who will always live in the 60s of the 20th century."
