This is indeed a problem!
Chinese care most about face and care very much about what others think of them. Free eBook Download// Many times, a person's sense of accomplishment comes from the affirmation of others about themselves. When others say you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you can do it; If others say you can't do it, you can't do it, and you can't do it. If society as a whole discriminates against craftsmen and technicians, no matter how good the employment situation is, it will inevitably greatly dampen students' enthusiasm for learning. The so-called "morale can be boosted but not discharged", it was finally used to drum up students' interest in engineering technology with three major projects, if it dissipates because of social discrimination, wouldn't it be a whimper!
After contemplating for a while, Sun Yuanqi decided to learn from several practices of later generations: "Brother Nian Qian sees the subtleties and observes the unsprouted, which is really discerning!" Now that the imperial autocracy has been overthrown, a democratic republic has been implemented, and all people in the world are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The forcible division of high and low according to different professional backgrounds is purely the work of some people's sense of superiority and vanity. However, we cannot sit idly by and ignore this issue, Sun will soon work with colleagues in the Ministry of Education to formulate a series of measures to encourage and support scientific and technological research through a variety of measures.
"The first is the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The National Chinese Academy of Sciences is similar to the Hanlin Academy in the former Qing Dynasty and will be the highest academic institution in science and technology in China. The members are selected from the national scientific research workers, and are the best scientific elites and academic authorities in their respective fields. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is co-opted every two years, and the inductees are called 'academicians' and will enjoy the same treatment as members of the National Assembly.
"The second is the establishment of the National Science Foundation to provide free funding to scientific research projects and scientific and technological talents with development prospects across the country, so as to ensure that they can devote themselves to scientific research without worrying about the shortage of research funds, so as to play an important role in supporting basic research and insisting on free exploration. The state can also give full play to the guiding role through the issuance of science funds, rationally allocate various resources, and strengthen liaison and cooperation among scientific research workers.
"The third is to certify and build a number of national key laboratories and national engineering technology research centers. These research institutes will focus on the national development strategic goals, face international competition, focus on enhancing scientific and technological reserves and original innovation capabilities, and carry out in-depth and systematic research on major scientific research topics related to the national economy and people's livelihood. If you think of you, this machine building laboratory, there is a lot of hope.
"The fourth is to implement the system of hiring professors by the ministry. Professors who have taught at the university for a certain number of years, have an outstanding reputation, and have made special contributions to their disciplines, have been approved by the Ministry of Education to become professors appointed by the ministry. The Ministry of Education will directly allocate the salary of the Ministry of Education for a term of 5 years, and can be renewed at the end of the term. In order to show that the state attaches great importance to scientific and technological talents, the number of professors appointed by the ministry will be appropriately tilted towards science and engineering colleges.
"The fifth is the establishment of the National Science and Technology Award. In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of scientific and technological workers, accelerate the development of scientific and technological undertakings, and improve the overall strength of the country, the Ministry of Education will fund the establishment of a national science and technology award, which will be reviewed once a year and reward those citizens and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to scientific and technological progress activities.
"After a period of time, it is believed that the above five measures should be able to reverse the discrimination against artisans and technicians in society. Of course, we not only want to eliminate discrimination, but also to make craftsmen and researchers the greatest workers under the sun, widely respected by the whole society! β
After inspecting many colleges and universities outside the city, Sun Yuanqi's trip in Wuchang was basically over. He was impatient to talk to Li Yuanhong, Rao Hanxiang and others, so he hurriedly left Hubei on the grounds that he was busy with affairs. Going down the river to the east, the boat flew like a fly, and within a day Sun Yuanqi and others arrived at Nanjing, the seat of the provisional central government of the Republic of China.
Sun Yuanqi was very conflicted about whether the steamer would stop in Nanjing: he wanted to meet Sun Yat-sen and have a good talk, but he also did not want to be understood as taking up a post in Nanjing. But he knew that if the steamer had to stop in Nanjing for a while, it would definitely be portrayed by the newspapers of the League as a loss of loyalty to the Nationalist government in Nanjing, so as to weaken the influence of Yuan Shikai's regime in the north.
In order to avoid an unpleasant scene, before leaving Wuchang, Sun Yuanqi specially summoned reporters from the China Broadcasting Corporation and the "Political and Economic Daily" to indicate that he would only stop in Nanjing for a short time, and then immediately change trains to Shanghai to attend the founding meeting of the New China Party. Its purpose is to euphemistically hint to Sun Yat-sen and the Provisional Central Government of Nanjing, don't be sentimental!
It turns out that the world never works the way you think it would.
Sun Yuanqi was still worried in the cabin that they would make some other moths on the premise of not making a big noise, so he heard Feng Jishan, the captain of the guard who had been staying on the deck, report: "Lord Qiqi, through the telescope, I found that the colorful flags were displayed on the Nanjing Xiaguan Wharf and the crowd was crowded, it is estimated that there will be a welcoming ceremony, and please prepare in advance." β
I'll give you a lung! Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but curse in his heart: Are you pretending to be deaf and dumb to cover your ears and steal the bell, or are you deliberately tricking me? In an instant, Sun Yuanqi even wanted the steamer to go straight to Shanghai, not stop in Nanjing, and let them bastards entertain themselves at Xiaguan Wharf!
Of course, Sun Yuanqi is no longer a junior brother in the political arena, and this kind of childish behavior is just thinking about it in his heart. If he really wants to leave like this, he guarantees that Sun Yat-sen will hate him to the core, and even never see each other again in this life. Fortunately, Sun Yat-sen did not dare to go too far, and did not put up slogans such as "Welcome Mr. Sun Baixi to Ningbo" on the dock.
As soon as the boat stopped at the wharf, Sun Yat-sen brought Huang Xing, Wu Tingfang, Wang Chonghui, Zhang Jian, Tang Shouqian and other cabinet members to greet him, and held Sun Yuanqi's hands tightly when they met: "Brother Baixi, since San Francisco, it has been nearly ten years, and the foolish brother is eager day and night. Finally reunited today, how excited can I express my excitement! β
Sun Yuanqi said with a strong smile: "The little brother is also nostalgic for Mr. Zhongshan, and I can't wait to see each other as soon as possible, and talk about the changes in the world in the future." It's just that with such fanfare, someβ"
Sun Yat-sen hurriedly said: "The Wuchang Uprising succeeded in a few months, and the provisional government of the Republic of China was established, all of which were the strength of the virtuous brothers. We are here to solemnly assemble to welcome the ** meritorious service, why not? Come, come, let me first introduce you to your cabinet colleagues! This is Huang Xing, chief of the War Department and chief of staff, and Huang Keqiang, the first confidant of Brother Yu. β
Then among the nine chiefs of Sun Yat-sen's cabinet, except for himself, the chief of education, many of them had dealt with him. For example, Zhang Jian, the chief minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Tang Shouqian, the chief minister of the Ministry of Communications, originally belonged to the preparatory constitutional association, but now they both belong to the New China Party, and they are comrades-in-arms of the first camp. Another example is Chen Jintao, Minister of Finance, and Wang Chonghui, Minister of Foreign Affairs, both of whom served as teachers at the Hubei School of Law and Politics under Sun Yuanqi back then, and they are both alumni of Yale University. Including Hu Hanmin, secretary general of the Presidential Office, the two also had a relationship at Jingshi University ten years ago.
After introducing the cabinet members, Sun Yuanqi and Sun Yat-sen walked down the dock hand in hand. At this time, reporters from all walks of life were like bees that had seen flowers, and they surrounded them with a "boom", flashing their magnesium lights, and at the same time began to ask questions. Feng Jishan was afraid that something would go wrong, so he hurriedly led the guards over to drive away the crowd.
Sun Yuanqi was looking for an opportunity to show his true intentions, how could he miss such a good opportunity? At that moment, he said loudly to Feng Jishan and the reporters around him: "I am happy to answer the questions of all reporters, but due to time constraints, each reporter only has one chance to ask questions." β
The crowd fell silent, and a young man with glasses took the lead in asking: "Dear Mr. Sun, I am a reporter from Ta Kung Pao, and the question I want to ask is, what is the purpose of your visit to Nanjing?" How do you see the current situation in the country? β
Sun Yuanqi replied: "Sun passed by Nanjing this time, mainly because he wanted to change to a railway to rush to Shanghai to participate in the founding meeting of the New China Party, which will be held soon, and then he will go north to check the damage to Jingshi University. Of course, I also had another purpose for changing trains in Nanjing, which was to meet Mr. Zhongshan, sit with him for tea and say goodbye. As for the current domestic situation, Sun, as a teacher, is really hard to talk about. β
Another middle-aged reporter immediately grabbed the conversation: "Mr. Sun, I am a reporter from Shanghai Declaration. You now have tremendous influence over the four provinces of Sichuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, and have a pivotal position in the domestic political arena. Now that the situation between the North and the South is sharply opposed, and a national war is about to break out, how will you deal with yourself? β
Sun Yuanqi replied: "I think this reporter is a bit alarmist! Now that both the North and the South are in favour of a republican form of government, there is a basis for mutual dialogue. The so-called 'co-ordination' means the cooperation of two or more people, and 'harmony' means peace. The implication of the republic is that Mr. Zhongshan and Marshal Xiang Cheng work together to promote peace in the world. If, under the banner of a republic, the two sides fight for power and profit, wouldn't it be a big joke? Even if there are differences between the North and the South, they should sit down and negotiate calmly, rather than resorting to force. Yuan Qi is not simple, but also willing to run to speak on behalf of the project, and strive for the early realization of the democratic republic! β
Another reporter asked: "Mr. Sun, I am a reporter from Minli Daily, will you be the chief of education in the Southern Cabinet or the Minister of Education in the Northern Cabinet?" β
Sun Yuanqi glanced at him and replied coldly: "Politics is divided into north and south, and education is not divided into north and south!" β
At this time, a Western reporter raised his hand and said, "Dr. Johnson, I am a reporter from the "Zilinxi Daily". I have heard that Your Excellency has recently reorganized the Preparatory Constituent Assembly into the New China Party. Which class of interests will it represent? β
