Professor Zheng Qiang's speech at Zhejiang University (for college students, let's take a look)

I recently read the transcript of this speech. It is really good and the analysis is very thorough. Here are some screenshots. Let's take a look at them and it may bring you some insights.

 

"In a developing country in China, how many world-class universities can you build? How many Japanese scripts are there? The actual situation is: the world's top 200 universities, and none of China! How many products can be exported in Asia? After I went abroad, I felt like a communist ideal to build Zhejiang University into a world-class university ."

"I used to say" ignorance and fearlessness ", but now it is" ignorance and fearlessness ". Many companies invite people from the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Technical Supervision and the Science and Technology Commission to have a meal and have a drink, then he signs a letter for you, stresses our professors there, creates a chapter for you, and then "fills the gaps at Home and Abroad" and "advanced international level", writing papers is "leading international research achievements", "first scientific discovery", and so on. This is a very serious problem! As a university professor, I am deeply worried! This is not our responsibility, it is our leadership ignorance, it is they advocate this mainstream. I know that the present Director or boss is very sad, because if you do not write such a report, you will not get the money, and the project will not be approved. the same is true for professors who write reports every day, rather than making research in the lab. This is very serious!"

"The reality and development of our country is like this: anything that we can't rely on can make ourselves look decent, such as two bombs and one star; anything that can be introduced, it won't even happen ....... now many joint ventures sell things without considering these deep things. this is a vicious circle of society!"

"I think: language and computer are tools. Chinese foreign language professors are not as good as farmers who sell vegetables in the United States! What do you think of this problem? Dr. shouben and German professors can't speak English! How can we say that one person cannot speak English, but is illiterate? Language is a tool! You don't have that environment. How can he speak this language ?...... If I am the Minister of Education, I want to reform two things:

First, if you cancel the cet6 test, a graduate cannot even pass the Chinese Level 1 test. What do you do when you take the cet6 test? Take a look at the papers written by graduate students. They have not learned well in their national culture. Take an English test every day. -- tick: The TOEFL tick, the GRE tick, and a high score in English, which of the following is my English paper? It cannot be passed! What can we cultivate? I did not do well in my own major !...... It is a misunderstanding that computers are illiterate! I am a professor now, and I don't care about computers !"

"You see how much energy I spent on learning English from high school, university, master, and doctorate! How do you develop high-tech research results for Chinese people? I have taught some of my female students over the past few days to ask what they are doing and what they are doing in the United States from day to night? There are many things to do in China! If you take an English test all day, Americans will charge you for your money even if you get a name. If you say that you are the same, Chinese students will pay a service fee when they go to book, when I went to Japan to study abroad, I worked for myself. I had to earn some money to pay the tuition fee. After reading my doctor's job, I worked in the Japanese company. When I was a labor force, after earning a sum of money, I bought home appliances and gave all the money to myself. you did not pay attention to this issue. It was a financial issue. this is what quality education is."

"Primary and secondary school education is obedient, where teachers and cadres, cadres and classmates, and children all learn the Adult style. This is harmful! After doing some good deeds forcibly, I didn't combine good deeds with human principles, but I only learned to flatter, ask the teacher to like, and talk to others. A child received a prize and the primary poet asked him what he was most willing to say. He said, "I 'd like to tell Grandpa Jiang: I want to report to you! Who is "Grandpa Jiang? Not taught by the teacher! The children are very tired in primary and secondary schools, and no one cares when they arrive at the university, so they have to play and fall in love ."

"We have a lot of students who do well, but can't do anything. In our college, people like me, recruit doctoral students, never look at their scores. What are their scores! Currently, I have three outstanding talents in China in this field. I made up my exams when I was a graduate student, but a few people who did well in the examination ran to the United States to sell chinese medicine, what problems does this mean? You can't be the boss !...... The talent team must be reasonable, rather than think that professors are omnipotent and doctors are omnipotent. china's education system is to make every common people full of hopes and ideals, and to educate children to establish lofty ideals. in fact, people's abilities are different. They should also be respected when sweeping the floor. When cleaning the toilet, they should also be respected. If they cannot move, they should be highly educated. I would like to remind you that this is not the case in foreign countries. It is difficult for US and Japanese doctors to find a job. Why? Because the boss loves his money, he hired a doctor to raise his salary. What can he do? This is a specific problem ."

"What should technology do? What Should high technology do? If I were a Technology Minister, I would like to have fun with him, just like Chen jingrun! If Chen jingrun is in today's China, he is definitely going to ask for advice, because he will not do industrialization, his English is not good, he is not fluent in speaking, and he cannot speak either Chinese or Chinese, according to the current "standard", he is an illiterate. What professor should I talk about! I like Americans, and I said to myself: Who do you love? Who will throw an atomic bomb to you. I love black people and do not like Chinese people ....... I especially told our female professors and female students: do not speak or speak either of them in front of me. Once I heard that you speak English, especially when Chinese girls speak English, their legs must be soft. This is true!"

"Why are chinese people going abroad over the years? The most important thing is to let the people themselves love their country ....... if I were the mayor of Hangzhou, I would never be a narrow national self-esteem-if there is a disaster in Hangzhou, I would first arrange the common people in Hangzhou in Shangri-La and let foreigners queue up outside! (Applause !) In this way, you will make your citizens love their country! A Japanese farmer ran to Mount Emei and broke his bones. Then you used a helicopter from the Chinese air force to save him, A Chinese student at the Japanese University of Japan died in the dormitory for seven days and was found. A Chinese doctor and wife at the Nagoya University mistakenly ate toxic mushrooms and their mother died, his father was pregnant with severe hepatitis. He waited for 12 hours in the outpatient room of the Nagoya University School of Medicine, and no professor was visiting him! Why are you so friendly? I think you are very generous. In fact, you are being laughed at and laughed at by others! You nation, Jian! We cannot do this! Our leaders ran abroad to visit and saw a few people welcome them, and they felt very face-recognition. What did a foreign man come from a police car? Does this make us Chinese feel proud or sad? All these are deep-seated issues for education. so I often say that, as a natural science worker, I taught my students to learn how to be human first. Without such knowledge, you have learned polymers and foreign languages are full of flowers."
