The news that Song Kai, an associate professor at Nanjing Forestry University, committed suicide after being demoted because he failed the evaluation was reported on the Internet, causing many people to rush to the official website of Nanjing Forestry University. But looking at the context of the matter, what happened to Song Kai's suicide Guan Nanlinda? It's just that the school's requirements are a little stricter, is it still wrong?
Song Kai, a 38-year-old young scholar, was hired by Nanjing Forestry University for his outstanding academic background and educational experience. He holds a master's degree from Peking University and a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, where he completed his postdoctoral research. In 2019, he was introduced to Nanjing Forestry University as a high-level talent and was hired as an associate professor, which should have been a new starting point for his academic career. However, just four years later, he was demoted to a lecturer for failing to meet the requirements of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and probably because of this, he chose to commit suicide. At present, Nanjing Forestry University responded that the rumors on the Internet are seriously inconsistent with the facts, and the family members are misinforming.
Scientific research requires talent, but if you are not talented, national resources will be allocated to you. It's not that you are talented, and the right to evaluate is in your own hands. You have talent, I don't provide you with a good platform, I don't give you a loose stage for singing, the resource policy doesn't focus on you, and your talent is worthless. There are too many people with various talents in this society, but too few people can get ahead, because the distribution of resources and opportunities is never distributed according to the ranking of individual talents!
In April 2019, he was hired as an associate professor (temporary) for an evaluation period of four years, and if he did not meet the standards, he would be demoted or leave Nanlin. In 2024, Song Kai's evaluation period will end, but he did not meet the requirements stipulated in the contract and was demoted to a lecturer by the school. Of course, at the age of 38, he may have to face a change in his life, because the lecturer may only be 6000-8000 a month. This is probably unacceptable to Song Kai.
Judging from the website of National Nature, Dr. Song has 0 hosts and 0 participation, and there is neither National Nature nor a circle. The domestic scientific research environment is like this, a group of smart and diligent and young and energetic people are working hard, if they don't get the National Natural Youth Fund at the right age, and then there is no top journal, and there is no platform, it is basically very difficult. To put it mildly, you can only go to third-rate scientific research, Nanlin University is a double first-class, and there are a lot of people who want to go.
However, young people have 2 chances, and they have not got 2 opportunities in the face, in fact, it is quite common in colleges and universities, and Professor Song's problems are mainly due to age and life pressure. In fact, I estimate that the main thing that stuck him was the service period of the university teaching position, which was generally 6 to 10 years. There should be a few years left, and if you leave the company during the service period, you will not only have to further refund the settling-in allowance and start-up expenses, but also pay liquidated damages. The great separation between reality and dreams led him to the extreme. But it doesn't really have much to do with the school. The school signed with him clearly.
And the school is actually more tolerant, it didn't reach its goal, it was demoted to a lecturer, and there was still a job, but Song Kai couldn't accept it.
Author's point of view:
In fact, if you can't open it, the school won't let you go, even if it costs a lot to buy a house and buy land, can't you live? I owe a lot of money, so I miss you?
Besides, even if there is no project, with the ability of Peking University graduates, can't they find a private goods to repay the loan? It seems that it is now a hundred, but leaving a large family does not know what to do, so they can only say that they are not responsible. What does it have to do with colleges and universities?
