Abstract: In the paper, utilizing respectively the induction, a generating function of the Lah numbers, the Chu-Vandermonde summation formula, an inversion formula, the Gauss hypergeometric series, and two generating functions of the Stirling numbers of the first kind, the authors collect and provide six proofs for an identity of the Lah numbers.
