Chapter 682 Several requirements for Yanda to go international

The explanatory report of Academician Su Wenxie's team on the "Strong BSD Conjecture Proof" was released, and the international mathematical community took action to start studying the explanatory report of Academician Su Wenxie's team.

Shen Qi has given lectures all over the country, and he has trained many local cadres, and his training courses have received positive and enthusiastic responses in combination with scientific research, ideology and politics.

Because he has recently focused on ideological and political work, some people jokingly call Shen Qi political commissar Shen.

On this day, Political Commissar Shen attended a high-level party-government joint meeting of Yan University, at which he said: "The world's scientific problems have been solved by Chinese scientists one after another, and our major power and major projects have been completed one after another, have we become stronger? There is no doubt that we have become stronger." ”

"The country's strong foundation stems from scientific research and education. The quality of scientific research and education at Yanda is the first in the country and the forefront in the world. I have always advocated that Yan University should take the path of internationalization and become a top international university. ”

"I am very pleased that we at Yanda are moving steadily on this road and have a higher and higher influence in the world. ”

"For a university, what is internationalization? I think the core points are two, scientific research and teaching. ”

"Scientific research itself has its own international attributes, and the results of scientific research are international. If you do a good job in scientific research and make scientific achievements that benefit the people of the world, you will naturally become an international university. ”

"What should international teaching look like, and is the number of foreign teachers and international students the main evaluation indicators?"

"My point of view is that the number of foreign teachers and international students is an evaluation indicator, but it is by no means the main indicator. ”

"Recently, I have observed some small problems in real life, which I would like to raise at this meeting. ”

"I admit that the subject of English is the most effective when foreign teachers who are native English speakers are used to teach it. However, I found that some of the English teachers in the outer courtyard were French and German. ”

"I'm not targeting French or Germans, but if you hire foreign English teachers, can you hire Americans, British, or Canadians? If not, you can hire Australians and New Zealanders. ”

"This situation, please ask President Hu of the Outer Court to verify. ”

Dean Hu explained: "The German English teacher, whose father is German and whose mother is British, speaks standard London accent and standard Mandarin, and has a doctorate in literature from the University of Oxford...... Of course, Academician Shen is also very right, and we will pay attention to it in the future. ”

"Really?" Shen Qi noted down this question, and said: "There are international students in various colleges of Yan University, and some international students complain that our Yan University fees are too expensive, and there is not even a single dormitory. We should pay attention to the opinions and suggestions of these international students and make improvements. I always believe that whether it is a Chinese student or an international student, they come to study at Yan University, not to enjoy happiness, let alone to make a living, but to study hard and knowledge. ”

"Let me tell you about my personal experience, my master's and doctor's degrees are at Princeton University in the United States, and I live in a single room in the United States. The vast majority of Princeton's undergraduates live in two-person rooms. ”

"Since we take the path of internationalization, we should be in line with international standards when dealing with international students. Some of our subjects, such as mathematics and physics, have reached the international leading level. Then the tuition standards of international students studying mathematics and physics should be the same as those of Princeton, Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge. ”

"You have to raise the price, otherwise how can you be in line with international standards? I hope that all academies will pay attention to this problem after the meeting and improve it as soon as possible. Shen Qi was serious and put forward his insightful views on Yanda's continued deepening of the internationalization route.

A senior member of the medical department said, "This ...... Isn't this too difficult for international students? The fees charged by Yan University for international students are already much higher than those for local Chinese students, so if the price continues to rise...... Academician Shen, will international students not be able to afford it?"

Shen Qi shook his head and said, "Princeton doesn't have a medical major, but Harvard does." I know Harvard Medical School relatively well, and now, after 8 years of clinical medicine at Harvard Medical School, the total cost is more than $1 million. Otherwise, Harvard Medical School is an aristocratic college, and the vast majority of Americans cannot afford to study at Harvard Medical School, nor can they afford to sell iron. ”

"How much does our Yan University School of Medicine charge? After 8 years of study, it is converted into US dollars, which is 113,800 US dollars. If you add 30,000 international students, it will be less than 150,000 US dollars. ”

"I admit that there is indeed a certain gap between the Yan University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School, and the only medical school in China that enjoys a high reputation in the world is probably Capital Union Medical College. ”

"Let's set a small goal first, in terms of medicine, to be on par with Peking Union Medical College, which charges about 200,000 US dollars for international students, and our Yan University Medical School strives to catch up with Peking Union Medical College within five years. ”

"Finally, I would like to conclude that we will continue to adhere to the international development path of inviting people to come in and going out, and we will treat all foreigners who come to Yanda to work and study in accordance with international standards. I, Shen Qi, will lead by example, and I hope that all colleagues will encourage me. Now that I have said that, I invite colleagues to continue. ”

......

The next day, when Shen Qi went to work at the center, he found a foreign girl wearing Hanfu sitting on the lawn next to their center building.

This young girl is blonde and blue-eyed, and she is quite good-looking. But she looked depressed, even a little depressed.

The foreign girl suddenly saw Shen Qi, her beautiful green eyes glared at the boss, and her eyes focused on Shen Qi.

Shen Qi said to the girl: "What are you looking at?"

"It's Teacher Shen, hello Teacher Shen!" the girl said fluent Chinese and greeted Shen Qi.

Shen Qi is well known in Yan University, and it is normal for foreign girls to know him.

"Are you an international student at Yan University?" asked Shen Qi.

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Anne Johansen, an American, and I studied Chinese linguistics. ”

Shen Qi asked again: "Annie, I saw that you seemed to be crying just now?"

"Hey. Anne sighed and said, "I heard that the tuition and accommodation fees of our international students are going to increase again. I'm in China, I really can't afford to study, I work three jobs, but I still feel too much financial pressure. The cost of living in China's imperial capital is much higher than that of Boston!"

"You've lived in Boston?"

"That's ......"

Anne spoke a little sadly about her life and experiences.

Anne was born in Alabama, a small town with a population of more than 80,000, her parents divorced, and she lived with her brother and mother.

Her mother supported her and her younger brother by working part-time, a café waiter, a supermarket cashier, and her mother worked everything, and her income was not very high, barely supporting the family of three.

Anne, who was born in a single-parent family, learned from an early age that the only thing that can change her fate is knowledge.

Anne, who excelled academically, had already obtained admission to MIT's Chinese linguistics program, but her family was too poor to pay MIT's expensive tuition.

MIT provides student loans to poor students, but borrowing so much money has to be repaid.

Anne, who was not from a wealthy family, applied to study Chinese linguistics at Yan University, and the tuition fee at Yan University was more than half cheaper than that of MIT.

However, the tuition fee of Yan University is about to rise.

Anne said with a sad face: "I have been in China for three years, and I have scored more than 90 points in all courses, and in the United States, I am also an honor student with all A's. There are many Chinese in my classmates, why do we international students have to pay more money than Chinese students when they receive the same education? Teacher Shen, you tell me, why?"

Shen Qi explained: "Isn't it necessary to pay tariffs when Chinese goods enter the United States for sale?"

Annie: "......"

Shen Qi said appreciatively: "I never tell international students that you speak Chinese really well." When you come to China to study, it is necessary to learn Chinese well, and there is nothing to praise about it. But I want to say to Annie, your Chinese is too slippery, why do you have a pure smell of Northeast Da Jiaozi?"

Anne said, "To study in China, passing the HSK is a must. But just passing the HSK is not enough. There is a teacher in our major, who speaks Dalian dialect, and his Dalian dialect is fast, I don't understand!"

"So, I and an American sister, a Canadian sister, and three of us female students, finally found a Chinese boy, who was from Northeast China, and was studying in the School of Mathematics. We three female international students exchanged Chinese with this boy from Northeast China and continued to improve our Chinese skills. Now, I can finally understand Dalian!" Anne explained the reason for her Northeast accent.

"I see. Shen Qixin said that the boys in the academy are still caring.

The students of Yan University are very busy, how can they have time to bring three foreign girls to exchange Chinese by themselves?

That is, the boy who studied mathematics was kinder, and he taught three female students from North America to speak Northeast dialect.

Anne's experience is representative of the international students at Yan University.

In Europe and the United States, the tuition fees of those famous top universities are extremely high.

In order to save money, European and American students from modest families came to study at Yan University.

Many of the international students who come to Yan University are very good academically, they are no worse than the Chinese students of Yan University, and even surpass the Chinese students in some courses.

The excellent Anne gets a scholarship every year, but she finds that her scholarship and three jobs can only barely support her various expenses during her study and life at Yan University.

"I heard from my American predecessors that Chinese boys have always been generous to foreign girls, and it has always been Chinese boys who bear all the expenses for meals, bars, and hotels. However, when I came to China, I found that Chinese boys had changed, and they had learned the AA system...... Hey, dating Chinese boys, really spending money. The only good news is that tipping is not required in China. Otherwise I would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. ”

The body is tired, and the heart is even more tired. Anne even came up with the idea of returning to the United States early.

A girl from a small American town came to China to study Chinese linguistics.

She worked hard, worked hard and earnestly, and achieved a good grade of A's.

What bothered her was money.

For students who love to learn, regardless of race or nationality, Shen Qi has always appreciated it.

No international student should be allowed to lose the precious opportunity to receive an education at Yan University because of money.

Shen Qi made a suggestion: "Annie, I think you should still focus on your studies during your study at Yan University, you have worked three jobs, which consumes too much of your study energy." You go and apply for a student loan from Yan University, Yan University adopts international standards, and will give a certain degree of preferential policies on student loans to poor students around the world. No matter how high the tuition fee is, it's always much cheaper than MIT, isn't it?"

After Shen Qi's enlightenment, Anne finally cheered up, and she went to the International Student Center of Yan University to apply for student loans for international poor students.
