Shortly thereafter, Shuizi was elected to Gansu University of Arts and Sciences by virtue of his "scholar" status and provincial examination recommendation.

Life course
Mr. Shuizi has a long-standing reputation in the northwest, and his name is a household name in Gansu. Born in Lanzhou in the 10th year of Guangxu reign (1884). At the age of 9, he studied at Yang Xinbo's private school in Nanguan, Lanzhou. 18 years old, admitted to country-specific ones college after entering Jinshi, and admitted to Beijing School of Political Science and Law at the age of 24. After graduating from political science and law school at the age of 28, he returned to Lanzhou as the principal of Gansu No.1 Middle School. During this period, he and Huang Yanpei, Yuan Guanlan, Chen Xiao Zhuang and Wang Tianzhu participated in the study tour organized by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China and went to Europe and the United States. Before the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), Mr. Shuizi was the county magistrate of Didao (now Lintao), the acting secretary-general of Gansu Province, the director of the preparatory office of Gansu autonomy, the director of the education department of Gansu Province, and the director of the Qinghai office of Ningxia, Gansu Province. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he served as a member of Northwest Military and Political Committee, the first standing committee member of China People's Political Consultative Conference and the first deputy director of Gansu Province. Mr. Shuizi is not only a famous scholar and educator, but also loves drama all his life, has research and neat poems, and has made contributions to the drama cause in Gansu. His poem "Hexi Zayong" left us a valuable poem. "
"Mr Shuizi's family was born and raised in Gansu. Due to the historical chance, his family blended with the history of Gansu in the 20th century, from taking the imperial examination to supporting the republic, from advocating constitutionalism and serving the local and central authorities to long-term efforts to revitalize Gansu education, from the representatives of Democrats in the early days of New China to the Rightists and inner ghosts in the "anti-rightist" and "Cultural Revolution", and from welcoming famous scholars, cultural celebrities and politicians outside the province. His life experience belongs not only to his family, but also to Gansu, where he was born and raised. Without Gansu, there would be no history of Shuizi family. Similarly, if Shuizi and his family are not written in History of Gansu in the 20th Century, it will leave some shortcomings for the history of Gansu. Baoding zhili governor's office, a national key cultural relics protection unit, can be called a half-Qing history From this perspective, a "Xu Yuan Chun Qiu" can also be called a half history of Gansu. " If you are interested in Shuijia, you can buy a book "Xu Yuan Chun Qiu: Shuizi and His Family", which is a family biography of Shuizi, a scholar who grew up in China in the old and new cultures. As an ordinary scholar's family history, this book records that turbulent era from an individual perspective. Its content involves the changes of social environment, culture and education in northwest China, dating back to the war caused by ethnic contradictions in northwest China during the Tongzhi period and to the end of the Cultural Revolution at the end of the 20th century. There are many little-known historical details and the emotional world of the older generation of literati. The book consists of three parts with different styles: the first part, Looking at the Far Mountain, is a memory of family history, involving the growth process of four generations of Shui people; The second part, Shuizi Poetry, introduces Shuizi's cultural education, political history and other aspects. The third "Memories" and "Prose", written by Shuizi's children respectively, are modern people's memories of their past lives. "
Xu Yuan in the title of the book is called Lanzhou Shuijia Garden. This is the hometown of Shuijia and once a famous garden in Lanzhou, which was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
