Chapter 278: Changjiang Scholars
readx; Returning to his hometown to sweep the tomb is a private matter, but this trip to Province J Qiao Wei is not as simple as just accompanying the old lady to return to her hometown to pay respects. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info After all, his identity is too sensitive, not to mention that the old man has passed away for so many years, and the third chief will not mention it sooner or later, but at this time, he must have his deep meaning in asking himself to return to his hometown.
Maybe he wanted to inspect himself one last time before he was released, or he might take this opportunity to let him understand the people's feelings, because of this, Qiao Wei was cautious in his words and deeds, walking on thin ice.
The work of the office was extremely heavy, and as soon as Qiao Wei sent the old lady home, he rushed back to Zhongnanhai to cancel the leave. When the third leader was done, he took a stack of papers and gently knocked on the office door.
The chief apparently heard his footsteps, and without waiting for him to open his mouth to ask, he asked without looking up, "You're back so soon?" Didn't you get four days off? ”
Qiao Wei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "It won't take long to sweep the tomb, and besides, the old lady has never been to Longjiang, she is not familiar with the place, and the climate is not very adaptable, so it is better to come back early." ”
"Is the old man alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, the old lady is all right, and let me take her to convey her thanks to you on the plane."
The third leader nodded noncommittally, then pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and said thoughtfully, "Sit, sit down." ”
Qiao Wei hurriedly put down the documents in his hand and told the story of the trip. The process of sweeping the tomb only took three words, and the AIDS epidemic in Longjiang and the unexpected encounter with Governor Ding Haonan were the top priorities of the report. The Central Committee of the Political Bureau of J Province had already planned for a long time, and the No. 3 chief did not ask much about this matter, but was concerned about the AIDS epidemic in Longjiang.
“…… Your ideas are very insightful, and it proves that your trip was not in vain. The problem is very serious, and we have to pay attention to it. You leave the material and I'll take a good look at it in the evening. In addition, a copy was also sent to the State Council for the Prime Minister to study and study. ”
Addressing the issue of assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS at the national level is ostensibly a simple document. In fact, how much does it cost? The question of who spends this money.
The countryside is really poor, the peasants are really difficult, and agriculture is really dangerous! For the sake of the stability of the country, we must no longer thunder and rain as before, and we must come up with practical and effective measures in a short period of time. The only immediate solution would be to exempt the agricultural tax that had been levied for decades.
However, in addition to the agricultural taxes levied by the central government, hundreds of millions of peasants also bear a wide variety of overall planning and apportionment, which requires local governments at all levels to maintain a high degree of consistency with the central authorities, and at the same time, it also means that it is even more difficult for the departments at the county and township levels.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and nothing can be done without money. The number of AIDS patients is increasing year by year, and the cost of late-stage treatment is so expensive that the people will scold the people if there is less relief money, and the central government will not be able to bear it if there is more. The only way is for the central government to contribute a part of the finances and the local finances at all levels to also contribute a part of the finances, and this involves the interests of all quarters, and it is obviously impossible to achieve it overnight.
Qiao Wei did not have the luxury of expecting the No. 3 leader to come up with a "golden mouth", let alone think that he was perfunctory, after all, the central government also has the difficulties of the central government, and the binding force on the local political axe is not to the extent that the order prohibits.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, the No. 3 leader suddenly said: "The affairs of Hong Kong are indeed a little urgent, 'Sage Zhang Xun? Cannibal Zhang Xun? There's no point in arguing any further. Go back and say hello to the Ministry of Education and ask them to add melons to the list of the sixth Changjiang Scholars Distinguished Professors. ”
"Chief, this ...... This...... This, that's not quite right, right? ”
Qiao Wei had long known that the chief would not sit idly by, but he never expected to use this way to relieve Tian Wenjian. It is important to know that Changjiang Scholars are not only honors, but also real treatment. Not to mention that university professors are flocking to it, even researchers at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences are salivating.
The third chief waved his hand, stared at his eyes, and said with a smile: "The melon has both virtue and ability, and does not violate the principle, from the original intention of Mr. Li Ka-shing and the Ministry of Education to cooperate in this project, the melon candidate is expected, what is inappropriate?" ”
The "Changjiang Scholars Program" is a special program jointly established by the Ministry of Education and Mr. Li Ka-shing, a patriotic industrialist from Hong Kong, to improve the academic status of China's higher education institutions and revitalize China's higher education. As the No. 3 leader said, professors like Tian Wenjian who can clean their minds and insist on teaching on the front line are really rare.
You must know that in recent years, the selection of Changjiang Scholars has become more and more sour, and it is clearly a plan set up to revitalize higher education, but it has been made into a miasma by some people, and even the leaders of non-national educational institutions such as party schools and the Academy of Social Sciences have fought for their heads.
Qiao Wei reacted suddenly, with a look of sudden realization, and said excitedly: "Chief, are you knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" ”
"I can't talk about it, I just want to remind those who are keen on fame and fortune to let them not forget their identity. Besides, this is what melons deserve, after all, compared to those scholars who hold foreign passports and only need to come back to give a few lectures a year, but enjoy super high treatment, melons are too valuable. ”
Ginger is still old and spicy!
The understatement of the No. 3 leader not only knocked on the academic community, but also released a signal that the new political axe values talents. At the same time, it also gave a resounding slap in the face to the extreme Z faction, after all, it is equivalent to that they only know how to point fingers, but Melon, a traitor, gave up his American green card and high-paying position, and resolutely returned to China to engage in undergraduate education. Not to mention that Professor Tian Da was also a flood hero, and spared no effort to donate to AIDS patients.
………………………………………………………… Principal Su has seen the salted fish turn over, but like Tian Wenjian, who can turn over in a short period of time, and turn over with such a "high standard", it is the first time that the eldest girl has seen him in a sedan chair.
According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, Changjiang Scholars Distinguished Professors other than the Ministry of Science and Technology must apply to the university where they are located, be reviewed by an expert group convened by the university, and then report to the Ministry of Education for selection after being publicized in the university.
Now, on the other hand, Professor Tian not only never declared, but even went to the United States. Vice Minister Yu of the Ministry of Education made a phone call a day, urging Jiang University to go through the relevant procedures as soon as possible.
“…… What to do? This is already the fourth call. The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, our side is in a hurry, he travels abroad like a nobody, and he can't even get through a phone call. ”
Since the establishment of the Changjiang Scholars Program, there have been only four distinguished professors and one chair professor at the university. Professor Tian Da's salted fish turned over will undoubtedly squeeze out a recommended candidate that the party committee of the university has long decided.
This made Secretary Li very unhappy, but the official level crushed people to death, and Vice Minister Yu's instructions could not but be implemented, not to mention that according to well-informed sources, this was personally instructed by the No. 3 head of the Central Committee.
As the most representative secretary of the administrative of colleges and universities, Secretary Li actually hates the administrativeization of colleges and universities at this moment. After all, the money was collected, the food was eaten, and the bath was washed, but things could not be done for others, so he had to work hard for others.
Principal Su, who had just finished the enrollment work, didn't have the time or mood to talk to him about this, in fact, he was very dissatisfied with such a partner, and when he saw him scratching, he simply turned his head and said to the head of the Teacher and Expert Service Section of the Personnel Department who was waiting: "So far, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it." Xiao Wang, you work hard and get the written materials out as soon as possible. As for Professor Tian, I went back to find Xia Wen Lao and his lover to see if I could get in touch with him. ”
The written materials are not as simple as two recommendation forms, not only must have copies of all the scientific research projects, awards and patents of the professors; Copies of the full text of the paper with important innovative surnames and the cover and table of contents of the magazine in which it was published; Copies of the cover, table of contents, and first page of the paper as well as other representative works; In addition, there are SCI, EI, SSCI, CSSCI indexes and proofs of other citations of papers; Proof of employment in a foreign country or in an important position in China; Proof of holding a position in an international academic conference and a copy of the invitation letter or notice for the conference report or special presentation...... All in all, the amount of material required was so great that it had to be bound like a bidding document. A catalogue index is indispensable so that experts can review it by page number.
Section Chief Wang's head was big, and after being stunned for a while, he said with a wry smile: "Principal, it's nothing to work hard." But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, so I can't make it up out of thin air, right? Besides, as soon as I am engaged in administration, even if all the materials are complete, I can't meet the requirements of the superiors. ”
President Su pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said categorically: "It is a good thing for Professor Tian to participate in the selection, I think Wen Lao will never sit idly by." I'll call him and ask him to take responsibility for this. ”
"It couldn't be better."
As soon as Section Chief Wang's words fell, Secretary Li couldn't help but ask: "Lao Su, it seems that the wind direction has really changed, do you want to make adjustments to Tian Wenjian's next work?" ”
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and be "sage Zhang Xun? Cannibal Zhang Xun? Jiang University, which was in a hurry, didn't dare to let Professor Tian Da talk about those controversial contents. He was even deprived of the right to talk about ethics, but arranged for him to talk about Ma Zhe, Ma Yuan and the Scientific Outlook on Development in the second half of the year.
The No. 3 chief's instructions are by no means as simple as saving a mere Tian Wenjian, and in a sense, it is also a signal to the education and academic circles.
Thinking of this, President Su admired the political insight of the old fox in front of him, admired it so much, pondered for a moment, and resolutely said: "In fact, controversy is not a bad thing, it can be seen from the enrollment work that has just ended, the popularity of our school has been significantly improved." Now that the three chiefs have closed their coffins, what do we have to worry about? Say what you want to say, it's business as usual. ”
"That's how I see it, too."
Secretary Li changed his words, and then said: "Thinking about it now, he is really a pity." Lao Su, what do you say he doesn't study well, but he just learns philosophy. If his major is economics, then we will have an economist at Jiang University. ”
Under the current system, philosophy has been vulgarized and retarded to the extreme. So much so that even those brazen to the extreme "brick family called beasts" did not dare to call themselves philosophers. There is also a strange thing that economists, jurists, and sociologists abound, but philosophy does not even have a master.
Principal Su shook his head with a wry smile, and after thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said, "The dwarf picks a general, maybe our Jiang University can really put a satellite." But it's just a matter of thinking, and if nothing else, I don't think he'll be with us long. ”
"What do you mean?" Secretary Li was confused, with a puzzled expression.
"Some time ago, I received phone calls from Governor Ding, Minister Li of the Organization Department, and Vice Governor Zhao Weiming, three provincial leaders. Although they all played an official tone casually, they mentioned Oda intentionally or unintentionally. Lao Li, although we are not under the control of the provincial party committee and provincial government now, we must not take it lightly, let alone make the same mistakes as before. ”
In President Li's view, the No. 3 leader's instructions only coincided with the meeting, and it did not mean that Tian Wenjian really had a background in the sky. After all, the disparity between the two is too great, and they can't beat it with eight strokes. And the three provincial leaders think so highly of it, which makes him really aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Thinking that he had just taken off someone's black gauze hat, Secretary Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and was stunned for a while before he said with regret: "It seems that I used to be Meng Lang, Lao Su, why don't we make up for it, what do you think?" ”
Principal Su sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's late, it's too late to say anything now." Don't forget that the Ministry of Education has a clear rule that distinguished professors are not allowed to hold leadership positions in colleges and universities during the appointment period. Let's create a good working environment for him, so that he can do what he likes wholeheartedly. ”
Only then did Secretary Li react, and nodded again and again: "So far, it can only be like this." ”
As President Su said, the provincial leaders really don't think highly of Tian Wenjian. As soon as Secretary Li said a lot of congratulatory words to Mr. Wen, and was about to arrange a house for Professor Tian University in the doctoral building, Vice Minister Gu of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee personally rushed to Jiang University to discuss the transfer of Tian Wenjian to the vice president of the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences.
The relationship was just transferred back from the Organization Department a few months ago, and now it is in a hurry to be transferred, and Secretary Li, who is thinking about how to compensate, naturally will not agree, but asks Vice Minister Gu to seek the personal opinion of Professor Shimoda University first. As he expected, without the need for Professor Tian Da to come back, Professor Wen and Gu Xiaona declined the kindness of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee on their behalf.
In fact, Governor Ding Haonan is also very entangled, because for Tian Wenjian, who has no intention of pursuing a career, a vice president of the Academy of Social Sciences at the deputy department level is really not as attractive as the Changjiang Scholar of the Ministry of Education.
Despite this, Ding Haonan still gave instructions to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, asking the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to cooperate with Jiang University, and asking Professor Tian University to take the lead in carrying out a project in the study of social ethics. In disguise, he sent some money to Professor Tian University to express his goodwill to Qiao Wei, deputy director of the Central Committee's Office.
Just when Tian Wenjian took Professor He to beg for grandpa and grandmother everywhere in the world, the news of his participation in the Changjiang Scholars selection spread far and wide. Public opinion was in an uproar, and right-wing scholars and Hong Kong's liberal intellectuals received rave reviews, believing that this was well deserved and taken for granted.
The extreme Z bigwigs are just the opposite, thinking that Professor Tian Da is a shameless fame and reputation. At the same time, as always, it has risen to the political height, saying that if Tian Wenjian, a traitor of the Han Dynasty, is selected, it will be ironclad evidence that the elite group has justified its name for foreign countries!
What makes everyone laugh is that some of their views are strikingly similar to those of their rivals on the right. He believes that the candidacy of Professor Tian University is a concrete manifestation of academic administration, accuses the rightists of choosing a blind surname on this issue, criticizes academic injustice under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, and demands an investigation into the shady scenes.
It wasn't until the website of Jiang University posted a public announcement with the resume of Professor Tian University that the overwhelming criticism stopped. Only then did everyone know that "Jiang Da Mei Dog" and "Jiang Da Han Jian" were neither banana people, nor were they unlearned and unskilled. Not only is he a veteran party member with 14 years of party experience, but he also participated in the 98 flood fight.
He is not only a positive example of college students dedicating themselves to national defense, but also an outstanding demobilized soldier who has made new contributions in economic construction. The photos of the cadres of Longjiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. who were covered in bruises when he came down from the front line of flood fighting, and a bunch of military medals made everyone who paid attention to him stunned.
Positive examples are indeed established, but the times are different, you can question the real surname of Lei Feng's deeds, but you can't deny the fact that it is fake.
As for the academic achievements, it is also impeccable, and the thirteen papers published by Tian Wenjian posted by Professor Wen have been published or reprinted in the professional journals of the American Philosophical Society and the Royal Society. Even some internationally renowned philosophers have quoted some of these ideas.
Dr. Tian Da's study of Chinese moral philosophy in the United States is indeed opportunistic, but it is obviously not an easy task to gain the recognition of international philosophers, especially for China today.
Although Tian Wenjian is on the cusp of public opinion in the academic and educational circles, he is not a public figure in the true sense. Except for some lecture videos circulating on the Internet, he has not been interviewed by the media, nor has he defended himself through any channels.
He is just an associate professor, an associate professor who does not listen to things outside the window and teaches and educates people wholeheartedly! It is precisely because of this that he has won the sympathy and respect of the vast majority of people. The previous upheaval of controversy has become a farce.
