At present, he has published 5 high-level academic papers on and many core papers are under submission. During his PhD, he participated in a national social science project and a Shanghai philosophy and social science project. When he graduated in 2022, he was selected as an outstanding graduate of Shanghai by the college. After graduation, he chose to return to his hometown of Guangxi and became a university teacher to contribute to the education industry in his hometown.
Consistent academic perseverance
Speaking of Xiang Keshu’s doctoral research experience, we should start with a paper published in an authoritative international journal in linguistics. Xiang Keshu, who was still studying for a master's degree at the time, saw an article discussing the "independence of Chinese syntax representation". The conclusion of this article shows that Chinese syntactic representation is independent of semantic representation. When saw this conclusion, Xiang Lessu vaguely realized that the experimental design of 's study may have certain loopholes, and the reliability of the results obtained is also questionable, and the experiment needs to be further improved and re-verified.
With this kind of thinking in mind, Xiang Keshu came to the School of Foreign Affairs of Jiaotong University to study for a doctorate. After enrolling in , he reported his research ideas on this topic for the first time at a seminar organized by his supervisor, Professor Chang Hui. As a result, was recognized and supported by Professor Chang Hui and several other professors. With the support of tutors and college professors, the topic selection for the course book is officially on the right track .
However, the process of scientific research and verification of is much more difficult than a sudden conjecture. Research on is based on previous research, which means that we must make breakthroughs based on previous research. innovation is a must for .
Therefore, Xiang Keshu has put real effort into the experimental design of . He designed a total of four experiments and , using nearly 200 subjects, which meant that a lot of effort was required in terms of time, energy and even funds. Fortunately, whenever he encountered difficulties, tutor Professor Chang Hui always provided support and guidance to Xiang Xushu, and his experiment was finally carried out smoothly.

The experiment ended, and Xiang class book completed the data analysis and writing in full swing. In order to confirm the rationality and value of the experiment, he boldly sent an email to an internationally renowned expert in this field (one of the authors of the article 4 years ago), and introduced him to the experimental design and findings, which made him What he didn't expect was that the professor responded to the email very quickly and confirmed his experimental design. He believed that his findings were valuable and looked forward to reading his paper as soon as possible. The moment finished reading the email, 's more than four years of hard work and countless busy days and nights seemed to be relieved for Xiang Keshu.
Finally, this article was published in the well-known journal Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. It was highly recognized by the reviewers of the journal and evaluated it as "will become a very important document in this field" . This scientific research achievement lasted five years. From the initial hazy idea to the final clear idea, he constantly started over and kept improving, making the data report of the article meet the highest standards of international journals in this field. The research findings are also It has played a certain role in promoting the research on Chinese syntactic representation. Xiang Keshu uses his tenacity and perseverance to depict the concrete embodiment of the scientific research spirit.
Sincere original intention to study the Zhuang language
Xiang Keshu was born in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. He has always had a deep affection for his mother tongue. By chance, a professor said to him sincerely, "As a Zhuang ethnic minority, you have the responsibility and obligation to study and introduce your mother tongue well."Professor ’s words shocked him greatly. Yes, since he is engaged in language research, why not make some contributions to his mother tongue? Since then, studying Zhuang language and pushing Zhuang language research to the international stage has become an important source of motivation for his academic pursuits.

In the past few years, with the support of his master's and doctoral supervisors, he has tried to conduct in-depth research on Zhuang grammatical coding and Zhuang grammatical features. Since he used psycholinguistic experimental research methods, it is particularly difficult to conduct such experiments in minority areas. The selection of subjects, the use of experimental equipment, and the choice of experimental locations are all very limited. It is necessary to strictly follow the experiment. The requirements are based on the needs of the place, time and people.
Sometimes in order to find suitable subjects, it has become normal to conduct experiments back and forth in different villages in his hometown. The homes of subjects, classmates, and relatives have become experimental sites. After several years of unremitting efforts, he and his mentor's team have made some valuable experimental discoveries, and some of their results have been accepted or published in some domestic and foreign academic journals. These studies have made corresponding contributions to the advancement of Zhuang language research and the promotion of Zhuang language.

In addition to researching the ontology of the Zhuang language, in the future, Xiang Keshu will also set his sights on the language acquisition research of Zhuang children with language acquisition disorders. Children's language acquisition disorder brings great misfortune to children and their families. However, due to its special characteristics, research in this field is extremely difficult and progress is slow. As for children with Zhuang language acquisition disorders, no relevant research has been conducted in a targeted manner so far. Therefore, Shang Keshu believes that its research value and social significance are of great importance. He hopes to make breakthroughs in this field in the future, and will provide help for children with children and their families.
Determination to return to the west of the motherland
"When you choose Jiaotong University, you choose responsibility. When you leave Jiaotong University, you must bravely take on the mission. " This is the solemn promise Xiang Keshu made to himself, to the west, and to the language studies discipline of the motherland. Commitment, and whenever he recalls his original intention of choosing the School of Foreign Languages of Jiaotong University to study for a doctoral degree, in addition to his passion for language research, the hometown of Guangxi that haunts his dreams always comes to mind. Since his birth, Xiang Keshu has had an indissoluble bond with the Zhuang language and the western part of his motherland. He is deeply proud of his status as a native Zhuang speaker, and he further understands that it is his mission and responsibility to thoroughly study the Zhuang language. , good introduction, pushing Zhuang language to the international academic stage, and presenting the gorgeous Guangxi to all corners of the world. Therefore, " takes root in the west and realizes the dream of Guangxi - to contribute to the research and protection of minority languages and the strategy of developing the western part of the motherland" has become a generous oath hopes to practice with youth.
022 Shanghai Jiao Tong University Graduation Ceremony Graduation is about to happen in an instant. Unlike the hesitation and hesitation of his peers, he firmly goes against the trend. would rather be a homing peacock flying in the "Southwest" because he firmly believes that the West The fertile soil of China is equally rich and nourishing, and the stage of the western region is even more magnificent and vast. He resolutely submitted all his resumes to colleges and universities in Guangxi, and many schools also extended their offers. Xiang Keshu was deeply moved by the sincerity of Western University, and felt that he was lucky and right to have firmly chosen Jiaotong University to pursue his dream.
Never forget the original intention and always succeed. Xiang Xue Shu has already taken the first step towards the vast west. He will continue to strive for his dream of language research and contribute his own strength to the construction of the western part of the motherland.
