His theories of "building a new socialist countryside" and "poor economics" have become important economic policies of the China government. The China Economic Research Center of Peking University, which was founded with one heart, is regarded by foreign media as one of the most important economic think tanks of China government.

why are there so few successful people in the same environment? Lin Yifu's explanation is that the degree of hard work is different: "Success is 99% hard work, plus 1% luck, and that 1 point of luck is still due to 99% hard work."
Lin Yifu, who holds many social posts but keeps quiet, usually has few holidays. He once taught his students: "The ideal of a soldier is they died with their boots on, and my greatest wish is to be exhausted at my desk." An example is: On the evening of March 13th, 24, former Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Koldek gave a speech at the China Center for Economic Research of Peking University, while Lin Yifu attended classes for almost a whole day during the day. He hurried to receive the former European politician after eating a box lunch in the office, and then went to class the next day. One of his students said that as a student, I can't stand this rhythm, but Lin Yifu is always full of energy.
