During his studies, he received the "Student Commendation" award from the university five times. In 2006, he obtained his Ph.D. in Literature. Upon returning to China, he began teaching at his alma mater, Xi’an Jiaotong University.

In 2009, he published *The Collection of Poems by Dr. Jin Zhong During His Studies in Japan*, which is composed of three parts: *Five Thousand Years of Love With You*, *Youth in Progress*, and *Please Come Close to My Heart* (published by Shaanxi People’s Publishing House). He founded the "Chinese Classical Poetry Class" under the Chinese Studies Society at Xi’an Jiaotong University, voluntarily tutoring students in poetry writing. Since 2010, he has offered an elective course on poetry creation open to the entire university.
