Public information online shows that Zheng is currently an associate professor at the School of Information and Communication Engineering at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. The above-mentioned informant stated that Zheng was extremely emotionally unstable, often yelling and swearing, and sent his laboratory classmates to do many things other than scientific research, such as picking up large quantities of express delivery for a long time, cleaning his home, doing homework for his daughter, and taking him to and from school. He cheated when his daughter took important exams.
The report also mentioned that Zheng forced students to work overtime and ignored their physical and mental health. Students said that after a long period of high pressure, working overtime and staying up late, reversing day and night, and a life of disordered work and rest, most of the students guided by Zheng have suffered from mild or severe physical and psychological problems. Students want schools and colleges to see through, replace tutors for all of them, and protect them until they graduate.
