The problem of brain drain at Lanzhou University, which is located in the west, has repeatedly attracted public attention in recent years.

The surging news reporter noted on March 15 that a news message recently circulated on the WeChat public account, Zhihu, Weibo and other online platforms said that "Professor Wang Rui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and vice president of Lanzhou University, has been appointed as the executive director of the Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences", and alleged that another well-known scholar of Lanzhou University left his post.

In this regard, the surging news reporter interviewed the office of the president of Lanzhou University by phone on the morning of March 15. The staff of the office made it clear to the surging news reporter that Professor Wang Rui's departure from Lanzhou University was false news.

However, the surging news reporter found that the "current leader" column recently updated on the official website of the Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences showed that Wang Rui had indeed served as the executive director of the institute. Professor Wang Rui's introduction on the official website of the institute is: "Member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (Faculty of Medicine and Health), Member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Vice President of Lanzhou University, Executive Director of the Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College".

At noon on the 15th, the relevant staff of the Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences said in a telephone interview with the surging news reporter that Academician Wang Rui did serve as the director of the institute earlier this year, but he is still the vice president of Lanzhou University, "if there is any change The official website will be updated."

According to the resume provided on the official website of Lanzhou University, Wang Rui, born in 1963, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (Department of Medicine and Health), a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the vice chairman of the Gansu Provincial Association for Science and Technology, the vice president of Lanzhou University, and the dean of the School of Medicine. He was admitted to Lanzhou University in 1978, received his Ph.D. degree in 1988 (jointly trained by Lanzhou University and Kyoto University in Japan), and engaged in postdoctoral research at Lanzhou University and the University of Kansas in the United States.

Academician Wang Rui led the team to carry out systematic and innovative research around the key scientific and technological issues restricting the creation of peptide new drugs, and achieved outstanding results, and promoted the development of China's peptide new drug creation and industrialization through continuous innovation efforts from new synthesis methods to new preparation technologies. As the first person to complete it, he won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award, the second prize of the National Technological Invention Award, the first prize of the provincial and ministerial level, 3 international academic awards, and the He Liang HeLi Science and Technology Award.

For the problem of brain drain, Yan Chunhua, president of Lanzhou University, had frankly said in an interview with "Lookout" that due to economic and regional factors, in the 1990s to the beginning of the new century, the brain drain became a prominent problem in Lanzhou University, and it was also a typical case of the brain drain of western colleges and universities and the "peacock flying southeast". Objectively speaking, the flow of talents is normal, and what is feared is abnormal flow. In 2016, we found that the crux of the brain drain phenomenon at that time was that teachers lacked motivation and confidence in the development of the school, and the school did not attach enough importance to the construction of the talent team.

Yan Chunhua said: Challenges are everywhere, and we must continue to innovate and stabilize and introduce talents. Now, if there is a sign of talent loss, the school, including myself, will pay attention to it at the first time and resolutely prevent the brain drain caused by insufficient school work.
