Recently, the discussion of "Middle Way Collapse" and "Middle Road Collapse" has sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Zhang Linghe, a graduate of Nanjing Normal University 211, wrote the mistake of "the collapse of the middle way" on a public platform, which became the target of public criticism.
Some people questioned that such a mistake simply should not be seen in a well-educated person, especially a public figure like Zhang Linghe, who is known as a scholar. Many netizens ridiculed: "Zhang Linghe, haven't you learned pinyin well?" After all, "Middle Road Collapse" and "Middle Road Collapse" are not only different in literal meaning, but also completely different in pronunciation. As a graduate of Southern Normal University, Zhang Linghe's low-level mistakes naturally make people doubt his liberal arts level.
However, some people also came out to defend Zhang Linghe. They believe that everyone has their mistakes, and even the top students have their mistakes. After all, the human brain is not at its best all the time. In addition, today's input method thesaurus is huge, and many words with similar pinyin are easy to lead to errors.
Some voices in the controversy pointed out that although the "middle way collapse" refers to giving up halfway, the "middle way collapse" is not impossible to interpret as failing to complete something due to force majeure. Perhaps Zhang Linghe is not really mistaken, but is borrowing new expressions to convey different meanings. Although this interpretation is novel, it has not done anything to quell the public controversy.
In a way, the controversy reflects the public's concern about education and knowledge. As a 211 university, Nanjing Normal University can even have students write such mistakes, which makes the outside world question the quality of higher education. A voice sarcastically said: "Where is the illiterate origin of Southern Normal University?", although such an assessment is obviously too harsh.
The discourse turned to Zhang Linghe himself, and some people began to reflect on whether his excellence in the field of mathematics confirmed that he was a mathematician and a liberal arts major. The results of the college entrance examination were also recalled, and in his memory, his Chinese score was only more than 90, which was obviously a score, while his mathematics was as high as 182. People began to speculate whether the mathematics of the Jiangsu college entrance examination was too simple that year, which made Zhang Linghe pick up the cheap.
However, is Zhang Linghe really just a scumbag? It is obviously unfair to put such a label on a person who was admitted to 211 colleges and universities in the college entrance examination. The results of the college entrance examination can prove his talent and hard work in mathematics, and even as a public figure, his level of knowledge is above the average in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Linghe admitted his mistakes on social platforms and said that he would further study and reflect. This attitude has won the understanding of at least some people.
After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and the key is the attitude and correction after the mistake. Regardless of whether Zhang Linghe's mistake was an unintentional oversight or a deliberate misjudgment, his handling of this incident was obviously rational and mature.
In today's rapid development of digitalization and informatization, a small writing mistake can trigger a wave of anger on the Internet and push a character to the forefront. Perhaps, in this era, what we need more is tolerance for mistakes, respect for knowledge, and deep reflection on education.
Zhang Linghe's mistake also provides an opportunity for the public to think deeply about the nature of education and the tolerance for mistakes.
