Preface
Professor Chu Yin angrily criticized Lu Qiyuan for being "radical and paranoid"! A "war of words" broke out between the two leading scholars on international issues! The controversy between the scholars was embarrassing! Who is playing "power tricks" and who is the "obedient person" who has been hacked? Where will this boiling academic war go? What valuable lessons have the young people learned?
1. Reflect on the words and deeds of the expert group
Professor Chu Yin's "cruel words" are not just as simple as a war of words. Behind this, a protracted power struggle in the academic circles that could not be attacked for a long time was completely detonated! His "sharp teeth" words not only dragged the audience into a dirty academic gladiatorial arena. What kind of impact did Professor Chu's reprimanding of Fang Xuan have on that academic palace?
On one side is the clear stream of selflessness with an iron face, and on the other side is the muddy water of power and money. But who would have thought that Mr. Lu Qiyuan, as the representative of the former, would be so wantonly slandered by his peers? Is this kind of squeeze and slander not only a "petty family's spirit"? The narrow-mindedness and danger of "egoism" have been clearly exposed!
Once upon a time, the group of experts and scholars was still synonymous with impartiality and indifference to fame and fortune? Who would have thought that they would now be "lost in the world"? It is ridiculous to use "showing off themselves" and "attacking competitors" as their driving force!
Our tradition of "respecting teachers and valuing education" has not only become a joke? after all, experts should not only shoulder knowledge and titles, but also have basic ethics and social responsibility. How can the people of the Republic of China regard the "blunt sword" as a "killing weapon" that harms nature and reason, and this has hurt the last bit of sacred expectation that society has for this group.
2. In Mr. Lu Qiyuan's words
Don't look at his "aggressive" arguments that are often criticized, but in fact there is something to be said! Take the viewpoint that was bombarded by Professor Chu Yin this time, even if the wording is sharper, are the "academic valves" phenomenon condemned in it the root cause of the decline of the academic circles?
In a word, Mr. Lu Qiyuan has his own insights. It's just that within the high walls, too many people who claim to be "clear streams" are not exempt from vulgarity. They regard their colleagues as enemies and are stingy in tolerating dissent, and this "monolithic" old monk mentality will eventually make their knowledge self-appreciated.
It is ridiculous that intellectuals have also been reduced to such a point that the academic hall is no longer as pure and noble as it used to be. What is even more ironic is that the "radical bigotry" in Professor Chu Yin's mouth is actually self-examination. It is no wonder that he is old-fashioned, but he is afraid that the concept of power will be attacked. It was Mr. Lu Qiyuan who dared to speak out, so he was so deducted from the high hat of "heresy".
However, there are pros and cons to everything, and even if the words of experts are sharp, it is always better to be complacent. What we are looking forward to more is not the "hypocrites" who only know how to play Tai Chi, but the "true scholars" who dare to analyze the crux of the problem. It's time to rethink! Authority should still be authoritative, but empathy that embraces innovation is indispensable. The expert group should have a broader mind and a higher vision, and regain the teaching of social responsibility rather than profit-oriented, which is the professional ethics that they should protect.
3. The moral integrity that experts should have
Isn't the group of experts the "leaders of learning" that our people recognize? Their highly talented knowledge and experience should naturally be accompanied by a broad field of vision, a broad mind, and a noble ethics. It's a pity that the "teacher-student feud" drama that has been staged repeatedly recently, so that we only see a stomach of muddy water!
What does it mean to broaden one's horizons? Is it a narrow imagination that is "self-centered"? What does it mean to be broad-minded? Is it to regard dissidents as enemies and to kill them all? What is noble ethics? Is it to bully and exclude one's opponents for the sake of selfish interests?
In a word, these authorities have deviated from the basic moral bottom line that they should abide by as intellectuals! Not only have they lost the courage to think independently, but they have also left far behind the fine tradition of "speaking out and giving advice." There is no room for such a "self-respecting" narrow-minded school valve around us!
For the authorities who claim to lead the atmosphere, in fact, what they should bear is the most important social responsibility. But looking at the squalor and decay of today's academic circles, isn't it precisely from their chattering "hypocritical faces" of self-denial?
From the supremacy of interests, to the competition between scholars who are higher and which is lower, to the formation of cliques and factions, and the bullying of peers, the bad deeds of experts are too numerous to mention! What we are looking forward to is not such hypocrites who pursue fame and fortune, but those true scholars who are humble in their studies and brave in shouldering social responsibilities.
It is a pity that the academic highland, which was once prided, has now been reduced to a muddy water of power and money, and the quagmire is everywhere! Those experts who are praised as "thinkers" have become captives of nepotism and participants in dirty deeds. Now, it is time for them to reflect on themselves and regain their original intention of independent personality and social responsibility.
After all, the image of the expert we rely on should not be just a collection of material and status. It should be a model of humility and learning, and the courage to speak out and criticize kindly. Only in this way will they not become "hypocrites who have mixed power and money" in the eyes of the public! Experts have a long way to go, and I hope that they will live up to the expectations of the people, encourage themselves with noble ethics and social responsibility, and reinvigorate the lofty respect of the Chinese people for intellectuals!
4. Exposing and spurning "pseudo-experts"
Have you ever noticed why those so-called "senior experts" have repeatedly criticized their fellow travelers? Is it not precisely because the latter's "clear stream" power threatens their vested interests? Isn't such an unscrupulous encirclement and suppression of dissidents already revealing the obscene features of "self-defense"?
We originally looked up to experts because they represented academic rationality and independent personality. But who can hope that the title of "expert" has now become a "fig leaf" for some people to narrow and exclude and manipulate public opinion? How contemptible is the hypocrisy of exercising power and money in the name of false "academic freedom"!
By now, these fake and shoddy "pseudo-experts" have completely tarnished the glorious image of this sacred profession and desecrated the last trace of our expectations for authoritative scholars. Their perverse actions will surely make the students fall into the confusion and confusion of "heroic confusion".
Of course, we understand that people are not sages, but how can those "pseudo-experts" who deliberately exploit the loopholes of "power and money" and confuse black and white right and wrong be forgiven? Their treachery is no longer a temporary moral degradation, but an out-and-out degradation of human character!
In the past, we still regarded experts as wise men and had an infinite yearning for authority. But when they become captives of interests and manipulators of lies, what words can we say about our disappointment? Such "good and bad" wrongdoers should have been spurned and expelled from the academic circle by the Chinese people long ago!
It's time for us to justify the name of this group! We should spurn those "power-rich horses" who use the curtain of "independence and freedom" to commit hypocrisy, and only allow those enlightened philosophers who abide by their ethics to continue to write new academic glory! Truth and justice are the ultimate values that a generation of wise men should pursue.
Fifth, it is hoped that this incident will trigger reflection
In the face of this "controversy" that shocked the academic community, we cannot be limited to a simple judgment of black and white. When authoritative scholars personally provoke right and wrong, we should take it more calmly and rationally examine it. Undoubtedly, Professor Chu Yin's approach has disappointed us. Such a senior scholar would even criticize his peers in order to expand his influence, and such a "playing array" trick is really embarrassing. But instead of being emotionally wrong, we should look at the reasons with empathy.
After all, in the whirlpool of this "undercurrent of interests", experts are also poor people who are gradually falling. Perhaps Professor Chu's starting point at the beginning was indeed noble, but he was trapped in it for a long time and eventually deteriorated. Therefore, when we criticize, we should also be tolerant and help him regain his original intention.
As far as Mr. Lu Qiyuan is concerned, although his sharp and harsh remarks are indeed suspected of being extreme, the spirit of hitting the nail on the head and pointing directly at the problem is worthy of special mention! We should not rest on our laurels and reject all "radical" voices, but should listen to dissenting views with an open and broad mind.
Only in this way can we truly recognize the root cause of the fall of the expert community through a superficial war of words - those decadent styles that stem from interests and vanity fairs. The "teacher-student enmity" that blindly hurts others and hurts oneself is undoubtedly a major "common disease". Therefore, while we should sort out the merits of the matter, we should also have sober self-knowledge. While denouncing "pseudo-experts", it is also necessary to guide all sectors of society to reflect on the basic ethics and social responsibilities that experts should uphold.
Scholars should be the vanguard of promoting righteousness and putting forward independent opinions. Only in this way can we truly learn a lesson and put an end to the repeated cycle of such similar tragedies in academic circles. Only by being rational and tolerant can we not be trapped in the quagmire of a spit war that never has an exit by the superficial "black and white".
We should cherish and defend the positive energy of the "scholarly spirit", and guide the society to reflect on and rebuild trust in the expert community with a rational scrutiny, tolerant and empathetic attitude!
6. Call for contributions to national development
Who in the whole country does not yearn for the great cedars of the world to stand in the great cedars of the east of the world? But if even the guides of thought are gradually falling into the quagmire of fame and fortune, how can we pool wisdom and make contributions? We must make up our minds to put a stop to this unhealthy trend of "pseudo-experts"! We should all the more appeal to those mentors and helpful friends who still cherish professional ethics and a sense of social responsibility to continue to raise their independent and rational voices and lead the trend with their true qualities as scholars!
The spirit of an era often originates from the pioneers of thought. We earnestly hope that after the hideous features of authoritative experts have been exposed, the broad masses of intellectuals will still be able to breathe and regain society's trust in them with their noble character. Only in this way can we calmly respond to the increasingly complex international environment and be invincible!
Knowledge is power, and only scholars who uphold their original aspirations and persevere can turn this force into a powerful driving force for national development. Let us join hands and encourage us to contribute to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, so as to live up to the mission and trust of the new era! In the face of the complicated field of public opinion, our younger generation should have our own thinking and judgment. Although different voices are biased, they may also reveal some one-sided truths. People of insight should have the courage to defend the righteous and rational side!
epilogue
It is true that the academic palace is mired in the dilemma of being overcrowded, but we still have high hopes for intellectuals. May those mentors and friends who uphold independent personality and bravely assume social responsibilities become beacons of wisdom that illuminate the road to national rejuvenation and contribute wisdom to the prosperity of the motherland!
