01, Chinese student doctoral shot supervisor in the United States
On the afternoon of the day before yesterday (August 28), a shooting occurred at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and Yan Zijie, associate professor of the university's Department of Applied Physics, was shot and died. The suspect, Qi Tailei, a Chinese student with a Ph.D., has been arrested, and his motive is unclear.
According to the latest news, Qi Tailei has been formally charged with first-degree murder and is not allowed to be released on bail. If convicted, Mr. Qi faces life in prison.
Judging from the relevant information reported by the media, the shooting case is likely to stem from the "grudge" between the tutor and the student, Qi Tailei has been dissatisfied with Yan Zijie for a long time, and finally the resentment turned into anger, and he shot Yan Zijie several times in the laboratory, causing a tragedy.
According to reports, the victim Yan Zijie has rich academic experience, he graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and then went to the United States to continue his research and teaching, focusing on optics and nanomaterials.
After this shooting and murder, people around Yan Zijie spoke highly of him, such as Chen Nanhu, who studied for a doctorate with Yan Zijie, when remembering him, "Yan Zijie is a sunny and gentle person, full of smiles... I was particularly heartbroken to learn that Dr. Yan had been worried about the mental health of his students. ”
According to online information, Yan Zijie discovered that Qi Tailei had mental and psychological problems very early and reported it to the college, but unfortunately it did not attract the attention of the college.
And the criminal suspect Qi Tailei is also a scholar-level existence. He was born in Dasha Village, Fengqiu, Henan Province, and in the 2010 college entrance examination, he and his brother scored 624 points, and also appeared in the newspaper, and the brothers became the pride of the village.

Subsequently, Qi Tailei was admitted to the School of Physical Science and Technology of Wuhan University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2015. Since then, he has focused on academic research and has also worked at Southern University of Science and Technology and Suzhou Institute of Advanced Materials.
In 2021, Qi Tailei obtained a master's degree in materials science from Louisiana State University, and joined Yan Zijie's laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill the following year. At the time of the incident, he was in his second year of doctoral studies, working on nanoparticle synthesis and optical capture.
Before the shooting, Qi Tailei often complained and expressed strong dissatisfaction on social platforms.
For example, he says, "It's naïve for a PhD student to focus on work hours every day... I know a lot of people want me to show them: work, always working. But, no... That's not people at all. ”
"This group of people either called me lazy or justified that I worked hard instead of telling me they were trying to consume my privacy." I judged that they were just there to tell my PI and then control me by telling stories. ”
"In the United States, bullying seems to be a problem. People often don't stop them in the first place. ”
It can be seen from these words that Qi Tailei is very dissatisfied with his work status and interpersonal relationships, and he may even have suffered school bullying.
However, Qi Tailei also has a positive side. He often cooks his own dishes and shares photos of the finished product online. He really wanted to meet some friends and enthusiastically posted dating posts, "I want to make some new friends." I am a second-year PhD student interested in nanoparticle synthesis, light capture, self-assembly, spectral analysis, and machine learning. A little silly in daily chores, but very enthusiastic about research. If interested, please contact me. ”
After the shooting, Mr. Wang, a relative of Qi Tailei's hometown, was interviewed by the media, "He was not naughty when he was a child, and his parents were very popular in the village." ”
Mr. Wang said that he knew Qi Tailei's parents very well, and after Qi Tailei's parents became more ill, his family was classified as a poor household, and they all had subsistence allowances before their deaths. After Qi Tailei went to the United States to study, he never returned, and even when his parents died a few years ago, his brother returned, but he did not return.
In Mr. Wang's impression, Qi Tailei is not mentally ill and is a normal person. When such a thing happened, the people in the village were surprised.
02. The motive for homicide is likely to stem from paranoid personality disorder
Seeing this shooting case, I remembered the case of "Fudan teachers killing the secretary of the college party committee" in 2021.
On June 7, 2021, a knife wound occurred at Fudan University. Jiang Wenhua, a mathematics teacher at the school, brutally killed Wang Yongzhen, the secretary of the college's party committee, by slit his throat. According to online rumors, Jiang Wenhua believes that he was framed and suppressed by the leaders of the hospital, not only has no chance for promotion, but also faces the desperate situation of dismissal, and finally loses rationality and makes extreme retaliation.
This case aroused extremely high social attention at the time, and many netizens believed that Jiang Wenhua had indeed committed a heinous crime, but if he could be kept alive, let him spend the rest of his life in prison and continue to engage in mathematical research, and even make some contributions to the country and society, this may be the best outcome.
The case was tried in the first instance in May this year, and the prosecuting authority held that the defendant Jiang Wenhua's actions constituted intentional homicide, but until now, the trial court has not pronounced the verdict.
The above two tragedies may seem unrelated, but there are many similarities. Whether it is the shooting of a tutor by a Chinese student or the murder of the party secretary of the college by a teacher in Fudan, this is a tragedy that occurs after the contradictions and conflicts between senior intellectuals continue to evolve, and the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator is that of the leader and the subordinate.
Most importantly, both Jiang Wenhua and Qi Tailei fit three characteristics of personality disorders: a severe lack of self-reflection, a severe lack of empathy, and behavior far beyond social norms. From the point of view of precision psychopsychology, they all belong to paranoid personality disorder.
There are many people with paranoid personality disorder in life who belong to the "stuffy gourd" type. They suffered a lot of superimposed psychological trauma during their growth, such as being repeatedly ridiculed and ostracized, resulting in their personality becoming withdrawn and introverted.
They are often silent in life, but when emotions erupt due to conflicts and conflicts with others, they tend to act shockingly.
Behind the paranoid personality disorder formed by Jiang Wenhua and Qi Tailei, there must also be a lot of superimposed psychological trauma. However, in addition, this is also related to the fact that they themselves are very good, often praised by others from childhood to adulthood, and slowly become self-righteous, proud and conceited.
In the process of growing up, they must have been overly praised for their excellent academic performance and formed a pathological positive emotional experience. In particular, Qi Tailei, who was in the newspaper because of his excellent results in the college entrance examination and became the pride of the whole village, his pathological positive emotional experience is even stronger.
Therefore, although Jiang Wenhua and Qi Tailei are indeed academically excellent, they also have overestimation of their own abilities, and are likely to be more "immature" in dealing with people and interpersonal relationships, with low emotional intelligence, and it is easy to give the impression of arrogance and unwillingness to listen to others' rationalization suggestions when getting along with others, which is easy to cause interpersonal conflicts and conflicts.
From an objective point of view, every contradiction and conflict with others will cause psychological harm to them, which makes them more sensitive, suspicious, and easy to take the good intentions of others as bad intentions.
Moreover, they often do not deeply reflect on their own problems, but blindly shift the responsibility to others, appear a complete external attribution model, more angry inside, and strong negative emotions accumulate.
Once this strong negative emotion reaches the critical value, they will lose their rationality and germinate thoughts of extreme revenge. Because of their high IQ, they often think of the means of crime before committing criminal acts, and even repeatedly simulate and step on points. Therefore, once it is really implemented, its criminal success rate is extremely high.
They often don't take chances, but know very well what the consequences of their actions will be, that their future will be ruined, and that their families will be implicated. But they don't care, they just want to vent their anger.
Moreover, Qi Tailei's parents have died, his younger brother is far away in China and already has the ability to live independently, and his relationship with other relatives is relatively distant. Therefore, before Qi Tailei decided to take vicious revenge, he did not need to take into account the feelings of his family, "barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes", which is one of the reasons for his extreme behavior.
Therefore, Jiang Wenhua and Qi Tailei were arrested by the police soon after committing the crime, and they did not think about covering up the crime or running away. Otherwise, with their high intelligence, they are likely to carry out careful planning like Wu Xieyu, a son of Peking University, and escape after murder and remain anonymous, and the police will have to spend more energy and time to arrest them.
Moreover, in general, people with severe paranoid personality disorder will only target people who have had a relationship with them when committing crimes, and they will not generalize hatred and anger to those around them and harm the innocent.
However, we must affirm that although we analyze Jiang Wenhua and Qi Tailei from the perspective of precision psychopsychology that Jiang Wenhua and Qi Tailei suffer from severe paranoid personality disorder, this cannot be a reason for them to mitigate their punishment. Instead, they must receive severe legal punishment for the cruel crimes they committed!
We previously analyzed that Jiang Wenhua is very likely to be sentenced to death. But in fact, many netizens do not want to see such results.
It takes a lot of resources for the State to train a scientific researcher, who has committed a crime and must be punished by law. But netizens hope that the talent training resources that the state has invested will not be wasted, and if Jiang Wenhua can continue to engage in scientific research in prison, it may be able to partially compensate for the harm he has caused to society.
Jiang Wenhua can sincerely apologize and repent, try his best to make civil compensation and moral compensation to the victim's family, and strive to obtain the understanding of the victim's family.
Of course, this is just a good wish from netizens. Jiang Wenhua has severe paranoid personality disorder, he has almost no self-reflection awareness and ability, and it is difficult to expect him to sincerely apologize and repent.
Moreover, the reason why many netizens can empathize with Jiang Wenhua and hope that Jiang Wenhua will not be sentenced to death is only because these netizens have been suppressed by leaders at work, and they feel that although Jiang Wenhua's retaliation violates the law, it is reasonable, so they have pity for him.
But this part of the netizens did not realize the harm to society of patients with severe paranoid personality disorder. Moreover, did Jiang Wenhua's leadership maliciously suppress him and be unfair to him? This has not been confirmed.
If Jiang Wenhua had not been sentenced to death, and he had suffered new superimposed psychological trauma while serving his sentence, he might have become even more angry, and even generalized the object of hatred to the entire society, forming an antisocial personality disorder. If he has the opportunity to get out of prison and encounter something unsatisfactory again, he is likely to take revenge on society and indiscriminately harm innocent members of society.
Therefore, in view of the lack of true self-reflection awareness and ability of patients with severe personality disorder, we have always emphasized that for this part of the perpetrators, the relevant institutions should be severely sentenced and quickly sentenced!
03. How do leaders get along with their subordinates to avoid retaliation?
As leaders and managers in a unit or enterprise, how should they get along with their subordinates in order to avoid extreme retaliation like the above two tragedies?
The first and most crucial point is that leaders must uphold the principle of fairness and justice in their hearts.
People with paranoid personality tendencies are particularly sensitive and concerned about fairness and justice, and once they feel that they have been treated unfairly, it is easy to feel very aggrieved and angry immediately.
Of course, some things involve many factors, and it is difficult for leaders to be absolutely fair. Or maybe some things are actually relatively fair, but individual subordinates still have some misunderstandings or distorted understandings, and they are dissatisfied.
At this time, it is best for leaders to sincerely communicate with these subordinates in depth, calm their emotions, guide them to return to rationality, or give them some compensation in other aspects, or even provide some help in private, so that they feel that they are not being taken lightly.
Second, no matter what the occasion and what problem to deal with, it is best to save face for this part of the people.
Problems that can be communicated and solved privately are best communicated with them individually. And when talking to them, make full use of the "three steps of benign communication", first understand them, listen to their ideas and sufferings, and then guide them to actively cooperate to solve problems and achieve improvement.
If it is sometimes difficult to avoid the need to publicly point out their problems, you should also pay attention to the proportions of your speech, not too much to the individual, but to the matter rather than the person. Leaders can even publicly correct them while recognizing their strengths and achievements. In this way, they feel more understood and respected, and are more receptive to the opinions of others.
In short, leaders cannot condescendingly and ruthlessly criticize these people, otherwise it is easy to cause contradictions and conflicts, resulting in resentment.
Third, if the leader has already had contradictions and conflicts with these people, do not add fuel to the fire, otherwise they may lose their rationality and take extreme retaliation.
Moreover, if this part of the population has high education and high IQ, their crime success rate is often higher, and they know how to plan in advance, and even disguise. If the relationship between the leader and them has become ossified, on the one hand, find a way to ease the relationship and give them more recognition. On the other hand, it is best to raise awareness of prevention and try to avoid being alone with them to reduce risks.
In the case of "Fudan Teachers Killing the Party Secretary of the College", Wang Yongzhen, the Party Secretary of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Fudan University, was killed by a subordinate teacher in his office, and he had no precautions against this.
Fourth, if the leader has personnel decision-making power, it is best to identify this part of the group with personality disorders during the interview or probationary period, and try not to hire them.
This requires leaders to master accurate psychopsychology, at least to know preliminary identification, and to know how to express it tactfully and correctly when refusing to hire, so as not to provoke the other party.
In fact, if leaders do better and deeper, in addition to learning to identify people with personality disorders and know how to get along with them, they can also win the recognition and full trust of these people, and then guide them to be aware of their personality abnormalities, strengthen self-reflection, and actively seek in-depth psychological intervention when necessary.
In this incident, although Yan Zijie had identified Qi Tailei's mental and psychological problems, he did not master the corresponding knowledge, let alone make effective countermeasures, but blindly hoped that after reporting to the college, the college could deal with it.
But he did not wait for the results of the academy's processing, and the tragedy had already happened, which is very regrettable!
04. Do these 4 points to prevent children from going on the road of crime
Every time such an extreme case occurs, in addition to the endless harm to the victim and his family, in fact, the murderer and his family will also be greatly negatively impacted. The parents of the perpetrator are often heartbroken, the entire family is heavily shadowed, blamed by the outside world, and the murderer himself has lost his future and life in this life.
Moreover, in the two cases of "Chinese students shooting their tutors" and "Fudan teachers killing the secretary of the party committee of the college", the murderers were all highly educated people with outstanding studies.
Their families must have been proud of them at one time, they were once "other people's children" in the eyes of the public, who would have thought that their personalities had gradually been distorted and finally committed such extreme behavior?
Therefore, I hope that the majority of parents will be warned from such cases, although children's academic performance is important, but personality soundness, mental health and mental health are even more important. Parents should pay special attention to the following points in family education to prevent their children from going on the road of no return in the future.
First, parents should consciously self-reflect on whether they have caused superimposed psychological trauma to their children. Because children who have suffered superimposed psychological trauma are more likely to have paranoid personality tendencies, show sensitivity, suspiciousness, easy to take the good intentions of others as bad intentions, and easily be provoked.
Conversely, if parents feel that their children are more sensitive and irritable, they should reflect on what superimposed psychological trauma they have caused to their children, and quickly change and improve, improve parent-child relationships and family environments, enhance children's sense of security and self-confidence, and children's character weaknesses will naturally be significantly alleviated. Parents should not mistake their child's personality abnormality for "rebellion", and then hold a fluke mentality and think that it is good for the child to grow up, which is likely to miss the opportunity to intervene and eventually lead to a big mistake.
Second, parents should not pay too much attention to their children's academic performance, let alone always instill in their children the concept that "in the future, they must be ahead and glorify their ancestors".
Otherwise, the advantage is that the child may constantly work hard and perform well academically; But the disadvantage is that the child's psychological pressure will be great, and their academic performance and external performance will be heavier than life. Once they are frustrated in these areas, it is easy for them to have difficulty adjusting their mentality and develop serious emotional problems.
Third, parents should consciously guide their children to have the awareness and ability of self-reflection. When children encounter difficulties and setbacks, parents should guide children to understand how to review afterwards, find their own shortcomings from setbacks, and find ways to improve and try to avoid falling twice in the same place. This is actually the process of helping children establish a high inverse quotient.
If parents find that their children are easy to understand from a negative perspective about the people and things around them, parents should guide their children to look at the problem from a more rational and positive perspective in time.
Fourth, for children with good grades and intelligence, parents should pay special attention to avoid excessive praise for their children, and give them timely and concrete affirmations.
For example, parents should not praise their children for being smart, which can easily lead to children feeling that they are naturally smart, and any difficulties are difficult for themselves. On the contrary, parents should pay attention to the efforts made by their children, such as diligent practice, learning good methods, correcting mistakes, etc., and specifically say what they are doing well and which areas can continue to improve.
Of course, even if parents pay attention to themselves, many elders, teachers or others are still prone to overly praise excellent children. Parents should guide their children to treat these voices rationally in time, and can be grateful for the kindness of others, but do not take the praise content of others seriously, let alone flutter, forming a pathological positive emotional experience.
Especially when children achieve some achievements or honors, parents should guide their children not to attribute all the credit to themselves, but also to see other factors, such as the background of the times, social policies, education and help of others, etc., to make a more rational and comprehensive attribution.
In other words, parents should try their best to guide their children to establish a mentality of "actively working hard and going with the flow", and have a long-term vision and a sense of time thinking.
We can set ambitious goals and keep working on them, but don't get obsessed with the outcome at a certain stage and think that it is necessary. When defeated, or in the face of flowers and applause from the outside world, we need to reach the state of pampering and not being shocked, and maintain humility and a good attitude.
