Education is always the future of a country, and only with education can there be talents, and only then can the country continue to make progress. Nowadays, although China's education has been popularized to nine years of compulsory education, but this is far from enough, compared with other Western countries, our average educational quality is at the level of high school, like the reserve of some technical talents is far lower than other countries, there are various reasons for which I will not elaborate one by one.
However, Shi Yigong, vice president of Tsinghua University, founded "Westlake University" and their enrollment is mainly to recruit doctoral students, even if you are an undergraduate student with a high score, it is not accepted, and the slogan he shouted at the beginning is "it is to surpass Qingbei within 5 years".
Let's first understand who this Shi Yigong really is, and actually shout the slogan of surpassing Tsinghua in 5 years. As we all know, Tsinghua University is one of the most famous universities in China, a higher education institution directly under the Ministry of Education of China, known as the "cradle of red engineers", which has sent many talents to the country every year, and is also one of the universities that most students yearn for.
Tsinghua University not only has a deep heritage, but more importantly, it has continuous funds to support students to do research, which has laid the foundation for its position as a leader in national universities.
Shi Yigong was born in a family of books and literature, his parents are high-caliber students of prestigious universities, from a young age has been well educated by learning, in such an environment Shi Yigong began to study early, and then has been in elementary school, junior high school, high school results are different from excellent, to high school when it was reported to Tsinghua University.
What is the concept of guarantee, 100,000 students do not know whether there is one that can be submitted, only in the study or major activities of great achievements are eligible to become one of the candidates for guarantee, and the purpose of the guarantee is to better serve the socialist modernization construction.
After Shi Yigong entered Tsinghua University, he did not become complacent because he was a student, but was more modest in learning, and every day he took root in the library research room to communicate with his classmates and teachers, and in the eyes of his classmates, Shi Yigong was a "crazy" crazy person who studied. After Shi Yigong obtained a double degree, he went abroad to continue to become a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University.
After getting a postdoctoral degree, Shi Yigong did not stay in a foreign country to work, but returned to the motherland without hesitation and won the title of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences by virtue of his own skills, and later went to Tsinghua University as vice president. Here I have to say how terrible Shi Yigong's learning talent is, and what is even more admirable is his patriotic spirit.
Shi Yigong left his post in a hurry after being the vice president of Tsinghua University for a period of time, and after he left his post, he began to establish "Westlake University". After founding Westlake University, Shi Yigong began to shout out the slogan of "surpassing Qingbei in 5 years", when many people did not know what kind of person Shi Yigong was, thinking that he was just winning eyeballs, so he did not pay too much attention to this school.
So where does Shi Yigong's confidence come from, high-end learners like him are also graduated from Tsinghua University, and it is impossible for them to say such things so brainlessly.
It is understood that this Westlake University is a new type of research university organized by the community and supported by the state in the future, which is simply to cultivate emerging scientific and technological talents for the country. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a third-rate university, and the slogans shouted are all fictitious names, and the purpose is to make money.
But behind Westlake University is a very strong background, there are academics, political and business circles, and there are many listed companies to provide funds for the future development of Westlake University. A good school is first of all to see the faculty, followed by research equipment, and then whether there is enough funds to support students to do research, these requirements Westlake University have done, the strength is no less than any domestic university.
Westlake University's admissions requirements are unusually high, they only recruit doctoral students, even if you have a high score in undergraduate or high school students. The advantage of this is to ensure that a school is full of such technical talents, and a good environment can bring people a lot of creative power.
There are pros and cons, there are so many doctoral students in the country, but not every doctoral student will choose Westlake University, even if you have a big advantage, no student comes to register, what is the use.
Westlake University's original ideal was to cultivate technical talents in various fields for the country, not for profit. The facilities of Westlake University are among the top in the world, where major advanced scientific research instruments can be seen everywhere, and some unborn equipment is even more varied, which is a paradise for researchers.
As a researcher, funding and equipment are the most important, both are indispensable, the conditions of Westlake University can basically meet the experimental requirements of all students, and because of this, Westlake University has absorbed many students in recent years.
Westlake University was founded in 2018, now has three years, so far Westlake University has let people see his potential, with a strong faculty and strong economic support, coupled with the wisdom of students, Westlake University has sent some talents to the country, these people have brought a lot of new knowledge after their respective positions.
As for Shi Yigong's slogan of "surpassing Qingbei within 5 years", although it sounds very unrealistic, the potential of Westlake University is not impossible in the future, even if it cannot be surpassed, it will become a famous university like Tsinghua University and Peking University.
One of the advantages of Westlake University is that they focus on scientific research and experimentation, do not make theoretical empty talk, and use experiments to study and study the truth of true knowledge, which is not all schools that have this capital.
How difficult it is to break the routine development of education, I am afraid it is no less than to let each of the 1.3 billion people have their own house, but Shi Yigong resisted the pressure to break these conventions and founded Westlake University to set an example for future education.
If a country wants to develop better, it is inevitable that it is indispensable to the construction of talents, and these talents are smashed with funds and time, and Westlake University has assumed this role. I have to say how advanced Shi Yigong's educational philosophy is. Although Westlake University has not yet become a top school, it will surely shine in time.
