Early Spring 2026, a shocking news broke the quiet of the Chinese education circle late at night. On March 24th evening, Suzhou Fengxue Weilai Education Technology Co., Ltd. released a black-and-white obituary confirming that the “Teacher Zhang” — Zhang Xuefeng — had died of cardiac arrest in Suzhou, his life forever frozen at 41.

Earlier that morning, news spread online that he had suddenly stopped his heart while exercising. People initially thought it was another rumor, until his social media account changed to a black-and-white avatar, and that familiar Northeast accent became a final echo.

Noble Child from Humble Origins: From “Ant Tribe” in Liulangzhuang to Suzhou Famous Teacher

Zhang Xuefeng’s story is itself a modern “Rags to Riches” tale. Born in 1984 in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, into an ordinary family, he deeply understood life’s hardships from a young age. Although he entered Zhengzhou University through the “distribution” system for a major he wasn’t interested in—water supply and drainage—he unexpectedly discovered his talent in educational consulting while helping his roommate gather research materials for exams.

After graduation, he resolutely chose to “migrate north” to Beijing. In Haidian Liulangzhuang, known as an “ant tribe” settlement, he earned a monthly salary of 2,500 RMB, squeezed into a tiny cubicle, and worked there for ten years. During that time, he traveled between various cram schools, witnessing firsthand how many ordinary college students faced setbacks in the job market due to “information gaps,” which became his greatest motivation to “speak the truth” later.

Key to Viral Success: Using “Cross Talk” Style to Break Down Education Barriers

In 2016, a video titled “Seven Minutes to Fully Explain 34 Top 985 Universities” went viral online. In the video, Zhang Xuefeng used humor reminiscent of cross talk, making the dull distribution of universities lively and interesting, with views surpassing ten million quickly. He thus rose from an ordinary cram school teacher to a top education IP with millions of followers.

Later, he moved south to Suzhou to start his business, founding “Fengxue Weilai,” rapidly expanding his empire. But what left the deepest impression on the public was his straightforward and powerful remark during a live broadcast: “If you’re from an ordinary family, don’t touch those unrealistic majors!”

Controversy and Glory: The Controversial Figure Tearing Open “Social Reality”

Zhang Xuefeng’s career was full of polarized opinions. Supporters saw him as a “savior,” breaking the information gap between classes and helping students from ordinary backgrounds avoid “landmine” majors with poor employment prospects. Critics accused him of being “too utilitarian,” reducing education to job training, and his sharp comments on liberal arts and journalism majors often sparked controversy.

However, as shown by his repeated donations to support impoverished students in his hometown, Zhang Xuefeng always stood on the side of “employment stability.” He understood that for most ordinary families, education is not a luxury for cultivating character but a last lifeline to change their fate.

Ironically, the person who taught countless people how to “make choices” ultimately couldn’t make a relaxed choice for himself. After 2025, Zhang Xuefeng’s workload remained high—live streams, speeches, company management filled his life. His last social media update was a running check-in on March 22, still striving to maintain his fitness to cope with the high-pressure consulting season.

Zhang Xuefeng’s passing shocked many Chinese netizens. Beneath the trending searches, comments were filled with sincere thanks like “Teacher, thank you for helping me choose my major.”
