The field of scientific research is supposed to be a temple of truth, but power games are frequently staged.
A scientific research "bigwig" with the title of academician or foreign award can become the center of attention overnight, but the reality is that they have deviated from the original purpose of scientific research and are caught in the vortex of power calculation.
This situation makes people sigh that academic research, which was originally a pure pursuit of truth, is shrouded in the shadow of utilitarianism and power.
The Lost Path of Rights
In the scientific research circle, there is a group of people who are vividly compared to doctors who only diagnose diseases but are helpless to treat them.
They analyze problems with great eloquence and seem to know all the problems of the academic field, but when it comes to solutions, they seem to have no solution.
These people are like fortune tellers, scaring you, but in the end they can't solve anything but cleverly empty your wallet.
They often appear in an unfathomable posture, with a mouth like a river, as if they are an authority in a field.
Their ability to decorate their clichés with terminology and theories is inspiring awe.
However, when they are really needed to provide solutions and suggestions, they seem helpless, or can only give some general advice, and lack substantive help.
There could be a variety of reasons behind this phenomenon.
On the one hand, these people may lack practical experience, they may be well versed in theory but lack the ability to apply theory to practical problems.
On the other hand, they may be more inclined to flaunt their knowledge and wisdom than to actually solve problems.
In their view, giving some fancy theoretical analysis may highlight their academic status and prestige more than actually solving the problem.
This phenomenon is undoubtedly an obstacle to the development and progress of the scientific research circle.
The essence of scientific research is to solve practical problems and promote social progress, not just empty theories.
The existence of so-called "experts" is meaningless if they only pay lip service to the problem and fail to provide practical solutions to real challenges.
The loss of fame and fortune
Some scientific research "big names" who have won foreign awards can easily become slaves of fame and fortune after returning to China.
They are in the spotlight at home, not only for their academic achievements, but also because they have received important awards abroad.
However, with the return of China, some people gradually lost the original intention of scientific research and devoted their energy to the whirlpool of chasing fame and money.
These "big names" in research are often invited to speak at various occasions or become consultants to certain institutions for a good salary.
However, this hectic life has gradually made them forget the true meaning of scientific research.
They no longer see scientific research as a mission to explore the unknown and advance human progress, but as a means of earning a living, or even a tool to show off their identity and status.
Even more worryingly, some people even use their titles as a stepping stone to show off all over the world, ignoring the real scientific prowess.
They may go out of their way to mention their fellowships or international awards on various occasions, but rarely talk about their research or their insights into the field of science.
This phenomenon has an adverse impact on the development of the entire scientific research community.
Scientific research should be a noble cause in the pursuit of knowledge and truth, not an arena in vanity fair.
If some scientific research "big names" devote too much of their energy to the pursuit of fame and fortune, then the atmosphere of the entire scientific research circle will become utilitarian, and the real academic spirit will gradually be eroded.
Therefore, we need to call on those scientific research "big names" who have won foreign awards not to forget their original intentions and not to be confused by fame and fortune.
Scientific research should be a spirit of selfless dedication and the pursuit of truth, not a tool for chasing vanity and money.
True and false researchers
Real scientific researchers are located in all corners, they may be ordinary scientific research workers who are silently dedicated and hard working, or they may be scholars who have outstanding achievements at home and abroad.
However, even if foreign award-winning scientists are introduced to domestic universities, they may not necessarily make significant contributions to national scientific research.
First, although these scientists may have received honors abroad, there may be differences between their research directions and domestic research needs.
Their expertise does not necessarily coincide with the focus areas of domestic research, so they may encounter difficulties in adapting when carrying out research in China.
Second, some award-winning scientists abroad are more inclined to serve their own countries than to focus abroad.
They may be more familiar with the research environment and needs of their own country, so they are more willing to carry out research work at home and contribute to the research cause in their own country.
However, this does not mean that foreign award-winning scientists cannot contribute to domestic scientific research.
On the contrary, they may bring an international perspective and advanced scientific research concepts to promote the development and progress of domestic scientific research.
It is important that domestic universities and scientific research institutions need to provide a good scientific research environment and support for these scientists, so that they can give full play to their expertise and potential, and inject new vitality and impetus into the national scientific research cause.
Therefore, for foreign award-winning scientists, the key is how to find a suitable development platform in China, and cooperate with domestic scientific research teams to jointly promote scientific progress and innovation.
Conclusion: Get out of the power stray
In scientific circles, power games and the lure of fame and fortune often become traps.
However, the path of real scientific research should be the pursuit of truth and the solution of practical problems.
We should abandon vanity, stay away from the lost path of power, and let scientific research return to its true nature.
Only in this way can we contribute our real strength to the progress and development of human society.
Let us embark on the path of pursuing the truth based on humility and diligence, with rigor and innovation as the emblem, and let the light of science illuminate the future of mankind.
