Chapter 448: Educational Reform (I)
PS: Thank you for the generous reward of the book friend "Look at the Sea and Happy Chest" and the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Fengyun is up 2204", and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^
In later generations, many people said that the education system of New China stifled geniuses, and even thought that New China was not as much as the masters of the Republic of China, this statement is inevitably biased, after all, the level of China's science and technology culture during the Republic of China was too low, so people with a little ability were able to emerge to become the so-called "masters", and there was no Internet at that time, those "masters" were real or purely hyped, basically difficult to identify, so it seems that there are many masters, but I don't know if there are really so many masters, How could China be bullied like that by the great powers during the Republic of China?
Some people may retort: "At least Qian Lao, these scientific and technological experts were also trained during the Republic of China, right?" Aren't they the real thing? But the problem is that almost without exception they became outstanding scientists after studying abroad, and it is not so much the success of education in the Republic of China that it is better to thank the help of foreign higher education. And if you want to compare, the outstanding scientists who received basic education in New China and then studied abroad to achieve success compared with the Republic of China period, both quantity and quality are far from comparable to the Republic of China period, especially in applied science and technology, for example, half of the top ten material experts on Shijie in the early 21st century are Chinese (not counting those born and raised abroad), and the academic status is not much lower than the level of Qian Lao, but these talents have stayed abroad, This is really not a glorious thing, and the government is reluctant to publicize it. Therefore, it is not well-known in China (PS: in addition to the serious outflow of talents, in addition to the poor treatment of domestic scientists and scientific research conditions, the bureaucratic style of domestic scientific research departments is also to blame, but this is not directly related to the education system)
In addition, Hu Weidong, who is a top science and technology expert himself, knows very well that for a science and technology worker, the foundation laid by his own talent and education is important, but the corresponding work practice is even more crucial. Historically, the scientists who fled to Taiwan with Chiang Lao Chiang were not inferior in quantity or quality to those who stayed on the mainland, but their achievements later were far from being comparable to those of their counterparts who stayed on the mainland, and this was not so much because the scientific and technological experts who stayed on the mainland were full of patriotic enthusiasm and worked hard, but because the mainland government provided them with such major scientific research topics as the "two bombs and one satellite." On the one hand, their talents are put to use. On the other hand, such a major issue is the most conducive to raising the level.
Here is another ready-made example, when the Chinese talent exodus was most serious in later generations, most of the scientific researchers who stayed in China were only second-rate when they went to university, but it was precisely by their hard work and work. China has succeeded in rising to become the largest industrial country in Shijie. The huge gap with Western technology is also narrowing. While many of the top talents who have gone abroad have been successful, there have been many more who have not been named after that, because foreign governments will never be able to trust them as much as our own. It is almost impossible to give them the most cutting-edge topics, especially strategic ones related to national defense, which is not even as good as before the liberation (because China was too weak at that time to pose any threat to the West, so Wu Chien-shiung, Qian Lao and others could be involved in key scientific and technological topics such as Manhattan and jet aircraft). If those former proud sons who have declined because they do not have haode research topics return to China, and see that those classmates who were originally inferior to themselves are now beyond their reach, I don't know if they will regret it
However, Hu Weidong also knows that although the education system of New China is not as bad as many people say, there are indeed many problems, and the freedom of thought encouraged by the universities of the Republic of China and even many middle schools is indeed conducive to the growth of those geniuses. Therefore, Hu Weidong has never exercised strict ideological control over the major colleges and universities in the Central Plains Liberated Areas, including the Central Plains University, which he single-handedly founded, and he said in his report to the Central Committee: "When these universities were still under the control of the Kuomintang, most of the college students were devoted to our party. Moreover, Hu Weidong also thinks that young people's thinking is somewhat rebellious, and the more you strictly order them not to do what they want, the more they tend to be, it is better to relax direct ideological control, and mainly guide them through the propaganda methods that the Red Party has always been good at.
At this time, Taizu was in a good mood because the psychologist Huang Yi cured him of the insomnia that had plagued him for many years, and he also had a deeper understanding of psychology, not to mention that he himself was very rebellious back then, so he was able to agree with Hu Weidong's statement, and immediately agreed to Hu Weidong's proposal. In this way, the relaxed academic atmosphere dispels the hostility of a large part of the scholars, and the reactionary elements who are hostile and staunch are exposed one after another (although as long as there is no substantive action, Hu Weidong will generally let them continue to teach at the university, but isolation in all aspects is inevitable, and some people do not think of committing suicide). At the same time, the propaganda apparatus of the Red Party has also been repeatedly tempered on the battlefield of the university, so as not to become a waste that later people called the "five scum of war" as in history
Hu Weidong had studied in Japan and was a senior Soviet fan at the same time, and during his visit to the Soviet Union, he had in-depth exchanges with the great Soviet educator Makarenko, so his educational reform inevitably had the shadow of Japanese education and Soviet education, of which the latter was particularly obvious.
Hu Weidong, who was still young when he studied abroad, was very disgusted by the orderly phenomenon of growing up and young in Japanese schools, but the rich and colorful club activities of Japanese schools are very highly respected, and the threshold of Japanese school clubs is not high, even the children of the poor who have no money at home can participate, which is undoubtedly far more in line with China's national conditions than the Western education model.
Compared with art clubs such as comics and music, Hu Weidong attaches more importance to sports clubs that can help students get fit, especially team projects such as the three balls, and as a football fan who likes to watch and play football, Hu Weidong naturally takes it as the focus of promotion. Of course, this is not all out of personal preference, football sports each game has a full 22 people, a team of 11 people, can be said to be the largest number of participants in the mainstream sport, and the physical confrontation is very fierce, once it can be promoted, it is very conducive to improving the relatively poor team awareness and physical confrontation of Chinese (the influence of the cultural tradition of "gentlemen do not move" is too deep-rooted). As for the football field, it is indeed a problem, but today's Chinese children are not as delicate as the only children of later generations, even if it is a dirt field that does not grow grass, they can still play happily (to be continued).
