From 1975 and 1978, after spending 3 years in a state-owned farm in suburb Shanghai (Chongming Island), Tong Shijun, in the spring of 1978, became one of the first college students in China after the higher education system was normalized as a result of the ending of 10-years-long "Cultural Revolution".
In 1982 and 1984, he got B.A. and M.A. degrees from ECNU respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in philosophy from University of Bergen of Norway in 1994.
Starting his career of teaching philosophy towards the end of 1984 at ECNU, Tong got his associate professorship and full professorship respectively in 1991 and 1994.
After the period from 1995 to 2004 in which he first worked as the Chairman of Department of Philosophy, then as a Deputy Dean of the School of Humanities, and later as an Assistant President of ECNU, he became a Deputy Dean of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences (SASS) in 2004 (till 2011).
From 2009 through 2011, he also took the concurrent position of the Director of the Philosophical Institute of SASS. Then, from July 2011 to December 2019, he worked as the Party Secretary of CCP (Chinese Communist Party) of ECNU as well as its University Council Chairman. Since June 2020, he has been the Chancellor of NYU Shanghai.
In addition to his frequent visits to Norway since 1988, Tong visited University of Marburg of Germany as a guest professor from May to November 1998, and worked at Columbia University of the USA as research visiting Fulbright Scholar in the academic year 2000-2001.
In the last decades, Tong gave academic lectures and read conference papers in many other countries, including Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, Croatia, Czech, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea.
Tong Shijun has published more than 10 books and more than 100 papers in Chinese, English and some other European languages, as well as more than 10 Chinese translations from English or German.
