Six years ago, he was a patriot who had returned from overseas, a move that made him widely praised.
Six years later, he was a foreigner who returned to the United States, a move that made him criticized.
"I'm extremely disappointed in the Chinese academic community!"
After saying this, Xu Chenyang left China in a crowd of puzzled and verbal criticism, and returned to the United States to teach full-time at MIT. In the face of overwhelming accusations, Xu Chenyang only replied with 3 sentences, and let the tide calm down.
It's only been 6 years before and after, and people have such a reversed evaluation of a person.
What did this man do? What are the three sentences he left behind that make people deeply introspect and speechless?
«——【3句话振聋发聩】——»
Xu Chenyang returned to China to teach for only 6 years before he went to the United States angrily. The main reason for this is the following three sentences.
First, seniority is too prevalent.
Whether it is a company or an academic community, if you are promoted only on the basis of seniority, it is difficult to have fresh blood and new vitality to add it.
The academic community is even more senior, and everyone's recognition of the strength of an expert and professor does not depend on whether the person has real materials. It only depends on how many papers he has published and how many years he has worked in the field.
If there are enough of these two, then this person will be the Taishan Beidou in the industry. The words spoken are like authority, overpowering a generation of living forces.
Because of the large coffee slots, these people will affect the allocation of academic resources. If the distribution is uneven, many talented young people will be thrown into the cold palace, and it is difficult to have a time to show their talents.
And if these young people want to get ahead, there is no other way but to boil. The older you get, the more popular you are, and after a long time, the number of papers published, and the old people in front of you all go down, and these people who come up will naturally be the authority of the new generation.
At this time, they will inflict their youthful unhappiness and all kinds of hardships on the new generation of young people, and the cycle repeats. They will not be like Ouyang Xiu, who took the initiative to avoid Su Shi because he was a great genius and let him get ahead.
颇有多年媳妇熬成婆之感，极具讽刺。
If young people want to get ahead or get some awards, they need to vote for their seniors and laugh at the wine.
Xu Chenyang once saw with his own eyes at a dinner table in China that his former teacher had to swallow his anger and smile at his seniors if he wanted to win some awards.
Maybe there is a real professor, but for Xu Chenyang after all, it is a minority, and it is not enough for him to stay.
Seeing that the domestic research environment is so chaotic, and even if there are research results, it is difficult to have a chance to get ahead, Xu Chenyang chose to go to the United States to teach and research.
Second, academic fraud is too rampant.
Senior professional titles can bring a lot of fame and fortune, and professional titles are linked to the number of papers. As a result, there are many people who have no ink on their chests to find someone to ghostwrite, and they only need to pay a meager manuscript fee, and they can reap dozens of times the income, and they will make a steady profit without losing money.
What's more, there will be tutors who occupy the student's dissertation and will not propose a revision direction at all, but will use it as their own rising capital. If students do not agree, they will be threatened and will not be able to speak.
Entertainment star Zhai Tianlin is highly packaged for himself, and he is a postdoctoral fellow at Peking University on the surface. According to his academic qualifications, he shouldn't know anything about HowNet, but he said "what is HowNet" in the live broadcast room.
In the end, he was found to have falsified his academic qualifications, but at this time, he had already earned enough money under his fame, and even if there was a stain, it still did not affect his wealth and clothing for the rest of his life.
Nobel laureate Ms. Tu Youyou's application for academician was also rejected because she did not have the blessing of overseas famous universities, did not have the aura of a doctor, and did not publish a paper with a work.
Third, academic research is too impetuous.
Most experts and professors will go out of their way to package and interview and publicize just one topic. If the gimmick is outside, and it is only for fame and fortune, how in-depth the research topic will be.
In comparison, it is too chilling for those who have been sitting on the bench for ten years and are obsessed with academic research.
Scientists also have the right to pursue fame and fortune, and they can also make life better for themselves and their families. However, we should not pursue fame and fortune under the gimmick of scientific research, and we should not put the cart before the horse.
Xu Chenyang was disappointed with such an academic environment and chose to teach in the United States, and at the same time directly explained the main reason for the brain drain in the mainland.
It's not that overseas people don't want to go back, it's that they don't have the possibility of showing their ambitions when they come back.
So why is Xu Chenyang called a mathematical genius, and what kind of experience made him resolutely go to the United States?
«——【Genius Sideways】——»
Xu Chenyang was born in Chongqing, and his parents discovered his interest in mathematics at an early age. While children of the same age were having snowball fights outside, Xu Chenyang was pestering his Kochi parents to teach him math knowledge.
4-year-old Xu Chenyang has mastered the four operations and some simple equations. Parents were surprised by their children's talents, so they did their best to cultivate Xu Chenyang.
Since elementary school, Xu Chenyang has been as good as a child from other people's families, and he has always been at the top of the class, and the teacher has a special preference for this student.
After all, primary school is in a small place, and even if the teachers and classmates found that Xu Chenyang had a high talent for mathematics, they never thought that his talent would be so high.
Later, he was able to promote the development of the entire mathematical community, solve the remaining mathematical problems at that time, and won various awards, like a generation of leaders.
When Xu Chenyang was promoted to junior high school, he was admitted to Chengdu Shude Middle School, a key high school in Sichuan, due to his parents' work. The outstanding talents of the province have gathered in this school, where Xu Chenyang still stands out, and the talents in the school are only foils.
Five years later, 17-year-old Xu Chenyang was selected for the provincial mathematics team in his sophomore year of high school and won the first prize several times in its competition.
When a group of students were still waiting for the college entrance examination, 18-year-old Xu Chenyang received an admission letter from Peking University, the Holy Academy of the Mainland.
After discussing with his family and his own careful consideration, Xu Chenyang finally decided to go to the Holy Academy, which is full of talents, for further study.
There are differences between people, and we need to face our own shortcomings, but also admit that good people work harder than ourselves.
Xu Chenyang, who entered Peking University, studied for a master's degree after completing university courses in only 2 years. With Xu Chenyang's unremitting efforts, he got his degree one year ahead of schedule.
At that time, Xu Chenyang was famous, but he always kept a low profile and said that he was a primary school student in mathematics. In 2006, Xu Chenyang chose to study for a doctorate at Princeton University.
At that time, overseas study was popular, and there were not a few talents in Qingbei who went abroad for further study, but there were very few talents who returned to China after completing their studies. Xu Chenyang once determined that after completing this study, he would return to the motherland.
After receiving his Ph.D. in 2008, Xu Chenyang chose to come to MIT to continue his postdoctoral studies.
«——[Return from Study]——»
Because of the influence of his parents, Xu Chenyang has had a strong heart for the motherland since he was a child. also because there are too few talents returning from overseas, Xu Chenyang once decided to return to China for development.
In 2013, Xu Chenyang returned to China after completing his studies. I wanted to make my own efforts for the education of my motherland, so I returned to Peking University to teach. While teaching and studying, he has worked hard and has solved many world problems in the field of mathematics.
In 2017, Xu Chenyang was hired by the Institut Poincaré, becoming the first Chinese scientist to be hired. When his research in mathematics was a little successful, Xu Chenyang won the National Outstanding Youth Honor several times, and was specially appointed as a professor by Peking University.
Xu Chenyang, who has been teaching at Peking University for 6 years, has trained more than a dozen doctoral talents in geometry, and has personally created a young research team with one heart and one mind.
Xu Chenyang, who played a leading role in geometric methods, has made indelible contributions to China's mathematical research, and with his efforts, the level of mathematics in the mainland has reached a higher level.
During this period, Xu Chenyang has also been paying attention to international mathematics exchange conferences, and he is obsessed with mathematics and wants to participate several times. However, because of the process and the identity of a professor at Peking University, he has not participated in time.
You must apply four months in advance to participate in the conference. Due to his concern and obsession with international mathematics academics, Xu Chenyang submitted applications three times to participate, but he did not expect to be rejected the first two times.
Although it passed for the third time, because of the approval of the process, the academic conference had already ended after the final result. At this time, it is inevitably dispensable, and Xu Chenyang has no choice but to accept this helpless result.
After that, Xu Chenyang applied for academician twice, but was rejected because of his qualifications and the small number of papers published. Under the successive blows, Xu Chenyang was extremely disappointed, and he couldn't help but be a little disheartened.
«——[Return to the United States to Teach]——»
After that, Xu Chenyang made many relevant applications in order to study geometric algebra, but most of them were fruitless.
For Xu Chenyang, there is no pure academic research environment in China, and due to the constraints of rules and regulations, Xu Chenyang submitted his resignation to Peking University in 2018 and returned to Massachusetts to teach.
Six years ago, when Xu Chenyang returned from school, he was applauded in China; now that he has returned to the United States, it has also caused a wave in China, and people have criticized him verbally and penually, and there are endless words such as "admiring foreign countries, forgetting his ancestors, and being ungrateful."
However, these voices did not have any impact on Xu Chenyang, who had long been disappointed in the mainland's education circles, but accelerated his process of going to the United States.
After only one year of teaching in the United States, Xu Chenyang made a great breakthrough in academics, and after breaking through many bottlenecks, Xu Chenyang won the Coldai Mathematics Award. At that time, there was only one Chinese scientist who won this award.
When the news came back, the Chinese people who had calmed down once again abused Xu Chenyang, and American lackeys and minions came and went. What's more, the insults are extremely insulting to his personality.
Xu Chenyang, who is far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, has become Xi to these things, and since he stayed in the United States, he has become more and more aware of how correct the three sentences he left before going to the United States.
I also understand more and more empathetic why so many talents who came out of the motherland are unwilling to serve the country after completing their studies.
It was Xu Chenyang who left three deafening sentences that laid a solid foundation for the innovation of the academic world.

«——[Conclusion]——»
Today, the state has been improving the chaotic academic environment, and it has been cracking down on fraud and hegemony.
It is believed that with the intervention of the state, the fog will be cleared for the academic community, and many talented young people will be provided with an excellent research environment and promotion opportunities, and they will be distinguished by their talents.
The welfare of scientists has also been greatly improved, and it is believed that more and more overseas talents will return to their home countries after the country's vigorous reform.
Xu Chenyang has also said more than once that he will definitely return to China to serve if possible.
Domestic talents will definitely shine in China!
