On January 4, Professor Xue Peng posted a video on Douyin asking for help, in which Fan Hong, holding her ID card and eyes, complained that she had been deprived of her enrollment qualifications for no reason.
Simple netizens saw Xue Peng's personal resume doctor, professor, returnee high-achieving students, and rich scientific research achievements thought that this was academic suppression, so they frantically sided with Professor Xue Peng and condemned the Beijing Computing Science Research Center, which became a hot search overnight.
On February 5, the Beijing Computing Science Research Center issued a statement that Xue Peng had applied for resignation and stopped enrolling students in accordance with legal compliance.
In August 2020, Professor Xue Peng was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars at the Beijing Computational Science Research Center. The funding period is from 2021 to 2025, and in 2023, she wants to change jobs and return to Southeast University, so she proposed to resign, and the reply given by the Beijing Computing Science Research Center is that she needs to take the initiative to apply to stop the Outstanding Youth Project. She didn't want to give up, so she thought of a compromise and waited until the project was done.
The program expires in 2025, and it takes three years for graduate students and PhDs to complete their studies, so there is nothing wrong with stopping enrollment now. Otherwise, who should take the students after she leaves, which is also responsible for the students.
Xue Peng wanted to continue to be an outstanding youth project assistant and wanted to change jobs, but the Beijing Computational Science Research Center did not agree to the best of both worlds. According to the law, if the person in charge resigns, the project can be stopped directly, or the current supporting unit and the original supporting unit must negotiate, in the current situation, it is likely that the negotiation between the two parties has failed.
In desperation, Xue Peng wanted to force the Beijing Computing Science Research Center to make concessions through public opinion pressure, but people were justified and not afraid at all.
He hid key information in the video, deliberately making netizens think from the aspect of academic suppression. He also said that if there was any accident, this video would be regarded as a piece of evidence, and it was said as if it was life-threatening, which fully mobilized everyone's emotions. It can be seen that Xue Peng did his homework before releasing the video and wanted to maximize public opinion.
It's a pity that netizens are not fools, everyone has a balance in their hearts, netizens really speak up for you, and you treat everyone as a monkey. It's not who posts the video who is reasonable, unreasonable trouble will eventually be eaten by public opinion, public opinion is a double-edged sword, and if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself. As a highly educated talent, why bother to win everyone's sympathy in this way.
