Chapter 372: Unworthy of the position? The aftermath of the rectification movement

[A genius scientist favored by both Huaqing University and Jingcheng University! ]

[Unveiling Xu Qingshan: Why was he so popular among two top universities]

[Double treatment, such resource investment, is it really worth it? ]

The news that Xu Qingshan joined Huaqing University as a visiting professor caused a greater stir in public opinion than the news that Beijing University made an exception and allowed Xu Qingshan to graduate as a researcher.

Because it is undeniable that most people in society do not have a very good understanding of the advanced knowledge system.

Even many people's understanding of universities is limited to categories such as Huaqing University, Jingcheng University and other universities.

Not to mention 985 and 211.

Therefore, when Beijing University gave Xu Qingshan the treatment of a subject leader, it was the treatment of a researcher, which did not cause much doubt at the time. Even if some people in the industry came out to talk about how terrible Xu Qingshan's treatment was, everyone just glanced at it and forgot about it.

But it's different now.

Even if he is a visiting professor, he is still a professor, which means that Xu Qingshan has completely broken away from the identity of a student.

Moreover, he obtained the status of visiting professor at Huaqing University while retaining his status as a student and researcher at Jingcheng University.

The students and professors of Jingcheng University had not said anything about this matter, and the students of Huaqing University had not said anything either, but people outside started clamoring.

What Huaqing University thinks it is not as good as Jingcheng University; what Jingcheng University students are equal to Huaqing professors
All kinds of strange equations and inequalities appear on the Internet.

But there is a voice mixed in it, which is constantly amplified after being raised by someone. Some people who are more sensitive to online information can perceive that there is an invisible driving force behind the amplification of this information.

It seems that many people are dissatisfied with Xu Qingshan's current treatment and status.

No wonder.

This time, the academic rectification movement led by Beijing University and Huaqing University actually touched the cake of many people.

Although the Peking University and Huaqing University cliques were powerful and could control the domestic academic circles to a certain extent, their power was based on rules that were uniformly recognized by everyone.

But this time, in order to help Xu Qingshan, Beijing University rewrote the rules to some extent.

In short, double standards.

In interactions like this between the big and small cliques, if a student cheated a little, even if everyone knew about it, they would just laugh it off and pretend they didn't see it. At most, they would eliminate the person and then warn the other party in a private letter.

This kind of operation is a typical example of "leaving some room for maneuver when dealing with others".

Teams like Beijing University had the urge to go all the way this time, which made many people, although they carried out the order, still feel dissatisfied in their hearts.

Here, the distinction between the northern and southern schools of thought becomes immediately apparent.

Although Huaqing University and Peking University have always occupied an unshakable top position in the country, the strength of the Southern School in the media is not comparable to that of Huaqing University and Peking University.

Zhendan, Jiangdong, Jiangcheng.
To some extent, the factions of these universities in the news media have more influence and appeal than the Beijing School, and they are also the incubators of various public intellectuals.

Various comments have been made against the unreasonable treatment given to Xu Qingshan by Beijing University and Huaqing University.

This was the largest-scale public opinion attack Xu Qingshan had encountered since he became famous.

"We do not deny that Xu Qingshan has great academic potential, nor do we deny that Xu Qingshan has made great achievements in his current narrow field, but we are all aware that the scientific system is extremely large, and it is still unknown whether Xu Qingshan can make tangible contributions to the country."

This was pointed out by editor-in-chief Jiang Xudan in Southern Weekly's article about the extraordinary treatment Xu Qingshan personally enjoyed.

"At a time when the future is so uncertain, our two top universities in the country have invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in it. The source of these funds is the Ministry of Education, which, to some extent, comes directly from taxpayers. So, is it not in line with the hard-working spirit that the country has always advocated when we pay so much tax to support the living and enjoyment of young scientists?"

"According to insiders, the car Xu Qingshan rides when he goes out is a top-of-the-line Maybach. Such a top-of-the-line luxury car is equivalent to the money that an ordinary person cannot earn in his entire life. In addition, Xu Qingshan personally owns a luxurious courtyard villa within the second ring road of Beijing. Under these conditions, Beijing University still provided him with a three-bedroom luxury house in Yandong Garden."

"We can't help but ask, where exactly are the taxpayers' money being used? Should outstanding young scientists with the latest research really waste so much money on pleasure in life? Is this a major manifestation of hedonism invading our country's scientific research system?"

"And does Xu Qingshan's actual contribution to the country really deserve such treatment?"

The article published in Southern Weekly was sharply worded and raised pointed questions. Each question stirred the emotions of the masses and targeted the extraordinary treatment provided to Xu Qingshan by Beijing University and Huaqing University, as well as Xu Qingshan's personal lifestyle.

This is the public opinion environment on the Internet.

In the near future, Xu Qingshan has also been aiming to produce well-known results that can shock the world, which has led to people's doubts about him gradually increasing.

In particular, the questioning of him by the systematic news media has driven the emotions of netizens.

This made the comments on the Internet that praised Xu Qingshan to the sky and said he deserved a lifetime of wealth and glory when he completed the twin prime conjecture become a joke.

In fact, this is the national public opinion environment.

This can perhaps be seen from the small gaming circle.

Here we use LOL as an example.

In 2018, IG won the first championship of the LPL region. At that time, everyone was said to be the best in the world, and there was also a saying that they would enjoy the right to be exempt from criticism for a lifetime. Domestic public opinion wanted to praise every player to the sky, and overnight, everyone became a ten-year fan of IG.

But this freedom from criticism only lasted for less than half a year.

The offseason is over, and the new season is over after returning. The performance at MSI makes the so-called right to be exempt from criticism a joke.

The same goes for FPX and EDG later.

So even though it has only been less than a month since the news of Xu Qingshan winning the award, many people have already forgotten his achievement, and some even said so.

"He did win an award last month, but didn't he win it based on his achievements last year? I haven't seen him do anything big this year. Could it be that after winning the award and getting praised, he started to give up and not want to work anymore?"

"Isn't this the case for all the scientific researchers in China? One achievement can make a living for a lifetime. In my opinion, Xu Qingshan can only boast about this one achievement in his lifetime."

And when the outside world was full of doubts about Xu Qingshan and Jingcheng University.

Neither Xu Qingshan nor Jingcheng University gave a positive response, as if they were not aware of the incident at all.

This makes the haters even more excited.

Some people charged forward, some secretly instructed and waited until the other party dared not to refute. This was like a charge for the online trolls, and there were also some people who disliked Xu Qingshan because of envy and jealousy.

After all, they are of the same age and they don’t believe that Xu Qingshan can really do all this.

Even the academic rectification movement held by Beijing University was secretly interpreted by some people as the thief crying "stop thief".

"I thought that after we were done this time, there would be a big commotion, but I didn't expect it to be this big. Has the media responded? This matter cannot be handled through the official route, it will only be seen as an attempt to cover up the truth."

Zhou Qifeng frowned and said to Tian Gang.

This matter forced him to run to the School of Mathematics to discuss it with Lao Tian.

Tian Gang sat at his desk, calmly processing documents, and glanced at Zhou Qifeng casually. "When you gave Xu Qingshan to Hua Qing, you didn't tell me, but now you come to me?"

Zhou Qifeng's mouth pursed.

Old Dog Tian, ​​why are you still angry at this time? You are such an old fool who doesn't know the time.

"Don't make sarcastic remarks here. Isn't Qingshan your student? This matter has something to do with you as well."

Zhou Qifeng was in a hurry.

He wasn't too worried about the reputation of Capital University.

To be honest, in China, most people have the same mentality.

When talking about universities, people will criticize Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Peking University, but if you ask them whether they want to go to Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Peking University, they will definitely say yes.

So, the case with Beijing University is that too many lice don’t itch.

But Zhou Qifeng didn't want Xu Qingshan, a young man, to bear this pressure.

God knows what the psychological endurance of young people today is like. They have already experienced little. If they can't bear the pressure of the Internet and want to jump off the cliff to get rid of all their worries, what can they do?
Tian Gang snorted.

"So what if I'm related to you? Doesn't my reputation have a bad reputation? In the past few years... Hum... Never mind, I won't talk about it."

Zhou Qifeng slapped his head.

Tian Gang is really qualified to say this. A few years ago, he and Mr. Qiu had a war of words that lasted for a long time. At the beginning, Tian Gang was the one who was scolded unilaterally.

After all, Mr. Qiu’s achievements and status in the scientific research community are there, and the title of Chinese Emperor of Mathematics is not given out randomly.

"Okay, stop worrying about it. I know Qingshan much better than you do. This little turmoil is nothing to him. If you don't believe me, go to his laboratory and take a look. I'm sure he's busy with his own business now."

Tian Gang said calmly.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to go there?"

Zhou Qifeng gave Tian Gang a blank look.

"How about you help me go over there and take a look?"

Tian Gang was speechless.

"Okay, let's go over there. I just happen to have something to ask him."

Tian Gang tidied up his desk, found a few documents, picked up his briefcase, and went to find Xu Qingshan.

This was the first time that Tian Gang came here after Xu Qingshan moved into this small building. When going upstairs, Tian Gang nodded frequently, seeming to be very satisfied with this environment.

"It has the energy of young people, which is good."

As he was talking, in the corridor, Tian Gang saw Xu Qingshan talking to Xue Xueqing and Li Guangzhi while holding a paper.

Xu Qingshan had his back to him and was concentrating on talking to the two of them.

Originally, Xue Xueqing and Li Guangzhi saw Tian Gang, their expressions changed, and they were about to greet Tian Gang, but were stopped by Tian Gang waving his hand.

"You two have done a good job on this part. Xiao Xue, this paper has passed the review and is waiting to be published. Do you have any idea to write a supplement for the supplement? Lao Li, I will also let you handle the minor formatting of the Wirsing-Schmidt conjecture. If there is no problem, send it to my email."

Tian Gang peeked behind Xu Qingshan, wanting to see what he had accomplished.

This is another achievement, but he, as a teacher, knows nothing about it?
No matter how focused Xu Qingshan was, he could still feel some movement behind him. He turned his head and saw his teacher's little head moving.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

The sound is full of surprise and unexpectedness.

"What? Can't I come over? If I don't come over, I have to know from the news whether you won the Fields Medal or not?"

Tian Gang said this in an unpleasant tone, but all that came out of his mouth were nice words.

"Come on, teacher, look at this."

Xu Qingshan smiled happily and handed the paper in his hand to Tian Gang.

Tian Gang took a glance and knew what it was.

"Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture? You solved that, too? I just heard you talk about the Wirsing-Schmidt conjecture. Did you solve that, too?"

"It's almost done. How about you do your best?"

Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows at the teacher.

People who can achieve results will always be more confident when facing their leaders and elders.

"Oh, it seems that old fellow Zhou Qifeng's worries were in vain. You don't look like you've been affected by the Internet at all."

"The teacher said that those comments on the Internet are not important. Can those comments affect the treatment I get from the school? If they can't affect me at all, then why should I care?"

Xu Qingshan spoke in a relaxed tone.

He really doesn't care.

He can run his own school, so who are they? Should he prove himself?
Compared with the forward-thinking Xu Qingshan, this group of public intellectuals’ understanding of public opinion can only be regarded as that of younger brothers.

In the Internet environment, the most taboo thing is to fall into the so-called self-proving trap.

As for the solution, there is no need to respond to public opinion, because Xu Qingshan himself is not an entertainment public figure. He only needs to be responsible to the school and the country.

As for public opinion, it will collapse on its own when he does something new and practical.

Tian Gang patted the briefcase and handed it to Xu Qingshan.

"Come on, take these documents back and read them slowly and fill them out slowly. I have marked all the things that need to be submitted. When you are done, bring them back to me and I will help you submit them."

"What is this?"

"Last year, I told you that you would win so many awards this year that your hands would cramp."

Tian Gang smiled.

"There are two documents here. One is the invitation letter and information sheet for the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians at the end of December, and the other is the invitation letter and information sheet for the International Congress of Mathematicians in August."

"This year's International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Hyderabad, India. You can apply for a visa yourself. The college has already arranged the process for you to leave the country for official business."
