Xue Gui is a member of the Central Education Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party. He is a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University.

Xue Gui believes that education should have at least three important goals - strong cognitive ability, organic knowledge system, and lasting motivation to learn. In infants and young children of this age, the neuron cells in the brain are sensitive to all sounds in the environment. Around the age of three, the size of an infant's brain grows to 90% of an adult's.
