detailed information
Du can be said to be from a scholarly family. His ancestors were private school teachers for generations, and the unique environment of his family influenced him. His mother attaches great importance to her children's education and hopes to change his fate by reading. From an early age, he planted the seeds of devotion to education in his heart. 1980, Du failed in the college entrance examination, but he never gave up his pursuit of knowledge. He always remembers that his mother once said to him, "there is no mountain he can't climb." His mother's words inspired him, hard work pays off, and he was finally admitted to the heat treatment major of Mechanical Department II of Shandong Institute of Technology. On 1986, after Du graduated, he hoped to teach in a university in Qingdao. 1987, by chance, Du became a tour guide of a foreign tour group. Through contact with these people, he strongly felt that he should open his mind and broaden his horizons, and he could not be satisfied with the status quo. 1989 Du was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University as a postgraduate majoring in translation. He studied under a large number of famous English experts at home and abroad and gained an environment for learning and studying English. Influenced by the academic and cultural background of Beijing Foreign Studies University, Du deeply felt the great power of education to change people and the importance of improving people's quality.
Enthusiasm for work
Du is a popular and respected expert in English education. Du never gave up English learning during his study in Shandong Polytechnic University. He read a lot of English books and watched English movies repeatedly every day, completely drowning himself in a lively English world. Effective English learning methods made Du Zai 1989 admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University as a translation major, which fascinated countless language learners. At this time, Du, a graduate student, achieved a high level in oral English, English listening and English writing. Began to engage in English teaching, advanced translation and simultaneous interpretation. During this period, Du creatively invented the "movie listening learning method", and this happy and relaxed learning method was quickly warmly welcomed by everyone. Under the guidance of interest, students can not only fully understand all the dialogues in the film, but also fully understand the local customs, folk customs and dialect slang in the film. 1992 After graduating from graduate school, in order to further study the cultural differences between the East and the West, and further understand the western society, culture, ideas and education methods, I began to travel in dozens of western countries, and worked and studied in the United States and Canada for three years. After returning to China, Du realized more deeply that China students' single and rigid English learning style confined their English learning to textbooks, and did not really open their minds and cultivate their ability to communicate in English. How can this meet the growing demand for foreign language talents in the motherland? Du decided to devote himself to English education and management immediately, and was willing to introduce what he had learned all his life, especially his unique learning methods, to the vast number of English lovers. As early as 1993, a well-known foreign company in Beijing was ready to hire him with a high salary, and he could go to work in the United States in the future, but he still gave up a good opportunity that many people longed for. Du began to enter the field of private education in China, because in his view, although there are countless choices in life, once you make a choice, it means paying and being responsible for your choice. In the process of receiving education and engaging in education, Du clearly saw the importance of education to a person's success and development. Out of his firm belief in education, he chose his favorite career without hesitation. Du has told the media more than once about his love for education, that is, "Educationispower". He has always believed in the power of education. In the process of engaging in education, because he likes this profession very much, he quickly found his feeling and did it with ease. Besides, when I saw that my students had changed greatly in all aspects, I felt indescribable joy and great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. 1995 Du gave up his job opportunities in foreign companies and joined New Oriental, which provided Du with a bigger stage to display his talents and devoted himself to private education. He has served as vice president of New Oriental School, dean of New Oriental College of Practical English and vice president of education of New Oriental Education Technology Group. At the same time, lectures on "English Success" were held in many universities across the country, and courses such as "Movie Listening Improvement Class", "Pronunciation Crash Course", "English 900 Sentences", "TSE Oral Class", "Practical English Series" and "Business English Training Class" were successfully designed and hosted, which were deeply loved by English learners. When he was a vice president in New Oriental, he was in charge of international education affairs at one stage. He visited hundreds of universities at different levels in the world, saw world-class universities and felt their first-class education. More importantly, he has a comprehensive grasp of ability education and deepened his understanding of education. The College of Practical English, founded by Du Fu, has become the cradle of cultivating English ability and is developing towards a multi-disciplinary and multi-field education model based on English ability. In the College of Practical English, he invested as much money as possible, bought more books and equipment, organized more people to write good teaching materials and introduced more good teachers and administrators. When tutoring various exams in New Oriental School, Du always pursues how to improve students' English practical ability, puts the improvement of English ability in the first place in teaching, and combines the cultivation of English ability with exam counseling to make students feel that they can not only do well in exams, but also improve their English practical ability and feel that they can learn something real. That's all that matters. Du also believes that as much investment as possible should be really used to build the brand of future students and their future prospects, so that students can really gain something in terms of ideological realm, personality strength, knowledge and skills. Therefore, Yu Zeng said, "Du can do well in New Oriental because he has a set of English learning methods and teaching methods, and he has won the essence of education." We can say that the "English learning method" here not only refers to the method of learning English knowledge, but also includes how to be a person. The New Oriental College of Practical English, led by him, is committed to cultivating more talents with both ability and political integrity for the society. He made unremitting efforts to change the phenomenon of "high marks and low abilities" among China students. Through lectures, articles and publications, countless people in China have realized the true meaning of English learning. Everywhere he went, applause thundered and his lecture hall was packed. In particular, Du's book Success in English, published in June 2002, summarizes his experience in using, teaching and learning English for fifteen years. It systematically and concisely expounds the correct methods and basic principles of English learning, and is praised by English experts as the "compass" and "blueprint" of English learning.

A philosopher in the west once said that books have two lives: they tell their own stories and witness the author's life, and so does Du Fu's success in English. When we open this book, we can not only see Du's incisive exposition on learning English correctly, but also see the road he has traveled and the bright spot after the ups and downs. In fact, God does not particularly like him, but is the inevitable result of his persistent dedication to education, step by step selfless dedication, and all the hard work he has devoted to students in the past ten years.
