The focus of the online discussion is a doctor named Sun Weidong, whose situation on the streets of the United States is deeply regrettable. Sun Weidong's experience is very unusual, he was once a member of the junior class of Fudan University, and he was valued by Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee because of his outstanding talent, and he had the opportunity to go to the United States for further study. But when he chose to become an American citizen, his life took an unexpected turn. Now, there is a suggestion to send Sun Weidong back to China for retirement, but there is much to ponder behind this proposal.
It is necessary to make it clear that Sun Weidong is now a U.S. citizen. This means that he has all the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc., and at the same time, he also needs to fulfill his obligations to the United States, such as loyalty to the United States. It's a very serious decision, and once you become a U.S. citizen, you can't go back.
Next, we have to look at China's policy towards foreigners. China is a sovereign country that has the right to decide who can enter China and who can enjoy the treatment of citizens. If Sun Weidong does not take the initiative to apply for restoration of Chinese nationality, and his current situation does not meet the criteria for China's talent introduction, then China is not obliged to provide him with pension support. Forcing China to provide for him is not only unfair, but also violates international law and basic principles of international relations, which will tarnish China's international image.
In addition, we have to consider Sun Weidong's own wishes. He has made it clear that he has no plans to return to China and does not intend to renounce his American citizenship. This shows that he still sees himself as a member of American society and is willing to continue living in the United States. If we forcibly send him back to China, we will be disrespecting his choice and depriving him of his autonomy.
So, what should we do in the face of Sun Weidong's predicament? First of all, we should respect his choice. Everyone has the right to decide how they live and where they want to go, and Sun Weidong is no exception. If we really care about him, we should help and support him in the United States, such as helping him find a job and a place to live, so that he can reintegrate into society.
We also need to reflect on China's talent training and introduction policies. Sun Weidong's case is not unique, and it reflects the problems that China faces in terms of brain drain and import. In order to solve this problem, China needs to formulate a more reasonable and scientific talent policy to attract more outstanding talents to return to China for development. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the education and guidance of overseas students, so that they can better understand the development and needs of the motherland and enhance their sense of patriotism and belonging.
Specifically, we can start from the following aspects:
Intensify the introduction of talents. The government can set up more talent introduction plans and provide preferential treatment and conditions to attract outstanding overseas talents to return to China for development. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation with overseas universities and research institutions and build more talent exchange platforms.
Improve the domestic scientific research environment. It is necessary to increase investment and support for scientific research projects and improve the remuneration and status of scientific research personnel. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the construction of scientific research integrity and create a good atmosphere for scientific research.
Strengthen patriotic education. It is necessary to strengthen patriotic education for overseas students, so that they can better understand the history and culture of the motherland and enhance their sense of national pride and belonging. At the same time, they should also be encouraged to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned to the construction and development of the motherland.
Provide social support. For people like Sun Weidong who are in need, we should provide the necessary social support. They can be provided with help and psychological support in life by setting up charitable funds and organizing volunteer activities.
When faced with similar problems, we should look at the problem with a fair and objective attitude and avoid being swayed by emotions. At the same time, we must respect everyone's choices and rights, and not impose our own will. Only in this way can we build a harmonious and inclusive social environment where everyone is free to pursue their dreams and happiness.
The proposal to send Sun Weidong, a wandering doctor from the United States, back to China for retirement is unreasonable. We should respect his personal choices and wishes and provide him with the necessary help and support. At the same time, we should also reflect on China's talent training and introduction policies, so as to lay a solid talent foundation for the country's long-term development. Let us work together to contribute to the prosperity and strength of the motherland!
