Title: Chinese mathematical genius Xu Chenyang left his job to return to the United States, revealing the deep-seated reasons for the brain drain
In 2018, Chinese mathematical genius Xu Chenyang decisively left and returned to the United States to teach full-time at MIT. This news triggered public opinion, and people labeled him as "admiring foreign countries" and "ungrateful", and even called him "Hannugan".
Xu Chenyang left three sentences before leaving, revealing the reasons why he chose to leave, and also revealed the deep-seated reasons for the loss of Chinese talent. Let's explore it together.
First of all, Xu Chenyang was born a mathematical genius. From an early age, he showed an interest in mathematics and an extraordinary talent. Under the nurturing of his parents, his talent was further developed. He was admitted to Chengdu Shude Middle School and Peking University, and was exposed to more advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the academic environment and development opportunities in China were not ideal, so Xu Chenyang decided to go to the United States to pursue a doctorate.
Second, there is a phenomenon of seniority in domestic academia, and authoritative seniors have the right to speak and allocate resources. It is difficult for young people to have the opportunity to show their talents and ambitions, and they can only get opportunities by simmering their qualifications. At the same time, networking has become a necessary condition for young scientists to emerge, which is not in line with the true spirit of academic research.
Moreover, the academic atmosphere is impetuous, and the pursuit of fame and fortune has become the goal of some people. People rush to publicize and reveal research in advance, competing for personal influence rather than really in-depth research. Academic fraud has also become one of the means for some people to pursue high professional titles.
In the face of these problems, Xu Chenyang expressed the hope that China can attach importance to the essence of academic research, establish a good academic research environment, provide more development opportunities and welfare benefits, and combat academic hegemony and academic fraud. He believes that with the country's efforts to improve the academic environment and increase investment in scientific research, more and more young scientists will return to work for the country.
At the end of the article, we need to ponder this question. Behind the brain drain, we need to think about how to improve the academic research environment, provide more development opportunities and welfare benefits for young researchers, so that they can devote themselves to scientific research and contribute to the development of the country. This is an important issue related to the future of the country, let us think together and work together.
