Let's use the Bachelor (Maester) like the American drama "Game of Thrones" to call these characters who have college questions and are independent. But in advance, I still explain that no matter what stories are told, I am very recognized and admired for their academic attitude, level, research methods and achievements. After reading the article, you should be able to see that the people I mainly write about, their passive state and involuntary, are what the article wants to say.

When I entered the school, the department had been promoting a bachelor's teacher, saying that he was a big bull in the industry, and when he first resumed judging in the early 1980s, he was rated as a bachelor. But in fact, we have only seen the photos, not himself, because as early as two or three years ago, he went to a foreign university as a principal. The reason for going to the foreign school is that there are rumors that the election for the principal of the school failed, and he hung up the crown and left in anger, so it was only a name in the department. He was over 65 years old when he ran for president. Although he does not have to retire because he is a bachelor, and his academic level, moral character, ability and qualifications are completely fine, neither the authorities nor the teachers and students of the school may recognize the older new principal.
The departure of the bachelor's degree can be bitter to the teachers in the department, the dragons are leaderless, and there is no leader to help everyone win the resources of various projects such as national ministries, scientific research funds and enterprises. The project cannot be done, and it has a great impact on the output and level of scientific research results. Eight years later, when the old bachelor returned from his post after two terms as principal of the school, one of his students, the head of the department (many of the teachers in the department were his students), arranged a small office for him. How small is the office? Some informed students said with a half smile that the stairs on the third floor of the department turned left and the X room was half as big. I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up to the toilet in the first X room of the staircase, is it still worried about the bachelor's disregard, and the reaction is cold? I am afraid it is just a coincidence, but the bachelor himself has achieved fame and become a principal, and the ordinary teachers in the department have experienced a period of time that can be said to be painful.
If you think that what you said above is a bit exaggerated, then let's talk about a paragraph of the person's emotions and say it, I also think it is a bit exaggerated. A professor in the department applied for a large scientific research project in the school to create a new material, and there was a very big breakthrough in academics. At school, a bachelor is a judge. The other judges all asked questions, and after a professor explained the answers one by one, the bachelor said a groundbreaking sentence: I can't make this material, and you can't make it! A certain professor was stunned at that time, and could not answer anything. Since the bachelor expressed his objections to his face, the other judges were not good enough to continue to say anything, and naturally this scientific research project was rejected.
Of course, it does not mean that the project application is not successful, and a professor cannot continue to do this scientific research work, missing out on technological breakthroughs. What makes a professor unable to let go for a long time is that he wants to apply for funding through this sure project, do this project at the same time, maintain the operation of their research group, and do not want to extract the limited resources of other projects to do this sure breakthrough project. This is the need for sustainable scientific research. Therefore, the support of bachelors in the department is lacking, and in some cases teachers may be suppressed in the school.
In the department, everyone was unanimously optimistic that the second professor who would be rated as a bachelor was also a technical bull, who guided the manufacture of large steel forgings of more than twenty meters long in nuclear reactors, which was extremely difficult and recognized as a powerful figure in the domestic industry. But unfortunately, he suddenly suffered a stroke, and fortunately, his brother was a major general in the People's Liberation Army at the time, and he rushed to help contact all the medical resources of all parties, and finally rescued him, but it is said that his ability to work was lost, at least greatly affected.

It cannot be said that his research group has since collapsed, but he has not heard of particularly brilliant achievements or breakthroughs, and later because of the source of scientific research funds and other reasons, the research direction of the research group has changed. After all, the original projects that can be obtained by the prospective bachelor are not easily obtained by others, and how many years of cultivation and precipitation are needed for ability, prestige, connections and trust. At that time, professors lamented that although everyone was not weak, it was too difficult for military, petroleum, railway and other systems to go in and cooperate in scientific research or engineering projects.
By the end of the last century, another professor in the department had finally received a bachelor's degree and became the second leader. Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and whether or not teachers can really recognize him as the leader, there may not necessarily be a unified voice. I have personally heard some teachers say something or complain behind the depressed: I did not invite the judges to travel to Sanya, Hainan for a week! But I've also heard that the bachelor was quite humble, fair, and helpful, and publicly reported that he was once a member of the Ethics Committee of the Academy.
The brother of this bachelor, who also became a bachelor within a few years, was passed down as a beautiful talk, and this family is a powerful person. I remember once in a professional class, when a teacher introduced his brother in class (he had not yet rated a bachelor's degree at that time), he said with a smirk: He sends dozens of SCI papers every year! Our whole class was stunned, it was the mid-to-late nineties, and it was rare to publish so many SCI papers a year, and every year. But the teacher just smiled and looked at us talking, and didn't add anything. It wasn't until his brother also became a bachelor's degree that he heard that the number of papers published by signature each year decreased dramatically.

Working with a bachelor or doing scientific research, there are relatively more resources, and they are generally better than others. At that time, there were "four princes" in a certain technical field in the department, that is, there were four young but high-level associate professors who were all striving for the position of full professor, but three of them fought a little harder, but it was the "gongzi" who had been silent without arguing and not grabbing, and took the lead in promoting to professor. One of the losers, later went to follow the bachelor of other departments, did a lot of scientific research projects, and was also rated as a professor. Of course, as one of the "four princes", his ability was originally super strong, and it was not surprising that he produced good results. The other teachers in the department wondered how he could still "mix" with the bachelors of other departments and get resources to do projects, and there was such a good thing, and later it was clear that "they are from a village."
Being able to become a bachelor, without retiring, and being able to work all the time is actually the happiest thing for those academic cattle people, and they themselves are quite satisfied with it. Other people who have not been elected are not inferior in level, but after all, the number of places is limited, the competition is fierce, and the so-called conspiracy is in people, and success is in the sky. The mentor once asked me to do something small for a retired professor, and I said that I had not heard much of him, and the mentor said: He was also a very influential person, but he did not succeed in participating in the bachelor's examination, retired at an old age, and then could only tinker at home. A few years later, the old man was found to be aging particularly quickly, and there was no sound in the industry.
Another old professor in the same major, cutting-edge and clear thinking, scientific research work is extremely rigorous, accurate vision, active thinking, across several major technical fields are outstanding achievements, almost everyone admires. However, when he first evaluated his bachelor's degree, he was reported for plagiarizing the students' research results, and later repeatedly failed to participate in the evaluation, and finally retired because he was more than 75 years old.
Maybe older people can see it, but young people may not. There was once a professor, thirty-five or six years old on the Yangtze River scholars, followed by Jie Qing, a member of the national level of the Million Talents Project, etc., but he had not yet been rated as a bachelor's degree when he was over fifty years old, and it was rumored that he was a little anxious, because several of the same batch of people had already been evaluated. Later, I heard his news, but it was an obituary of leaving due to illness, and it was still several years before he was sixty years old. The honors and ambitions of the past, without the body and health, are gone.
To add, the first old bachelor I said, who also made outstanding contributions to the manufacture of domestic nuclear reactors, should be 95 years old now, and I heard that his body is still very good. In his 80s, he also dared to ride an electric car and carry his wife around the campus.
