Chapter 278: Yangtze River Scholars

Going back to the hometown to visit the grave is a private matter, but this trip to J Province Qiao Wei was not as simple as accompanying the old lady to return to the hometown to pay tribute. After all, his identity is too sensitive, not to mention that the old man has passed away for so many years, and the leader No. 3 did not mention it early or late, but asked him to return to his hometown at this time, which must have his deep meaning.

Maybe he wanted to inspect himself for the last time before he was released, or take this opportunity to let him understand the people's sentiments. Because of this, Qiao Wei was cautious in his words and actions, and was walking on thin ice.

The work of the General Office was extremely heavy. As soon as Qiao Wei sent the old lady home, he rushed back to Zhongnanhai to complete the holiday. After the head of No. 3 was finished, he took a stack of documents and gently knocked on the office door.

The leader obviously heard his footsteps. Before he could ask, he asked without raising his head, "I'll be back so soon? Didn't he give you a four-day leave?"

Qiao Wei was stunned and quickly replied: "It won't take long to sweep the graves. Besides, the old lady has never been to Longjiang. She is not familiar with the place and the climate is not very adaptable. It's better to come back early."

"Is the old man okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, the old lady is well, and I asked me to take her to convey her gratitude to you on the plane."

The third leader nodded without complaining, then pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and said thoughtfully: "Sit down, sit down and talk."

Qiao Wei quickly put down the documents in his hand and told the passage of the trip in a slight way. The passage of tomb sweeping was only a few words. The AIDS epidemic in Longjiang and the unexpected encounter of Governor Ding Haonan were the top priority of the report. The Central Committee of the Provincial Political Bureau had long planned that the No. 3 leader did not ask more about this matter, but was concerned about the AIDS epidemic in Longjiang.

"...Your ideas are very insightful and prove that you did not run away in vain. The problem is very serious and we have to pay attention to it. You leave the materials and I will take a closer look at them in the evening. In addition, I will also send a copy to the State Council for the Prime Minister to study it."

Solving the problem of assistance to AIDS patients at the national level seems to be as simple as a document. In fact, it is not the case. How much does it involve? Who spends this money?

The countryside is really poor, the farmers are really difficult, and agriculture is really dangerous! For the new leadership team, the three rural issues are imminent. For the stability of the country, we must never just thunder and rain like before. We must take practical and effective measures in a short time. The immediate effect can only be to exempt the agricultural tax that has been leap for decades.

But in addition to the agricultural tax collected by the central government, hundreds of millions of farmers also undertake various coordination and levies, which requires local governments at all levels to maintain a high degree of consistency with the central government, and it also means that life is even more difficult for the county and township departments.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and nothing can be done without money. The number of AIDS patients is increasing year by year, and the cost of treatment in the late stage is so expensive. If the relief funds are less, the people will scold them, and if there is more, the central government cannot withstand it. The only way is to issue a part of the central government's finance, and local governments at all levels also provide a part of it. This involves all aspects of interests, and it is obviously impossible to achieve it overnight.

Qiao Wei did not expect the No. 3 leader to have a "golden word" and would not think that he was perfunctory. After all, the central government also had difficulties, and its binding force on local governments was not as strong as the order was prohibited.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, the No. 3 leader suddenly said: "The things in Hong Kong are indeed a bit eager for quick success and instant benefits. There is no point in arguing about it any more. Go back and say hello to the Ministry of Education and ask them to add melons on the list of the sixth batch of special professors of Yangtze River Scholars."

"Chief, this...this...this, this is not appropriate, right?"

Qiao Wei had long known that the leader would not sit idly by, but he never expected to use this method to rescue Tian Wenjian. You should know that the Yangtze River scholars are not only honored, but also real treatment. Not to mention that university professors are flocking to them, even researchers at the Academy of Social Sciences are salivating.

The third leader waved his hand, stared at his eyes, and said with a smile: "Melon is both capable and capable, but does not violate the principles. Judging from the original intention of Mr. Li Ka-shing to cooperate with the Ministry of Education to carry out this project, Melon selection is something that everyone wants. What is wrong with it?"

The "Yangtze River Scholar Award Program" is a special plan jointly established by the Ministry of Education and Hong Kong patriotic industrialist Mr. Li Ka-shing to improve the academic status of Chinese universities and revitalize Chinese higher education. As Chief No. 3 said, it is rare for professors like Tian Wenjian who can calm down and persist in teaching on the front line.

You should know that the selection of Changjiang scholars has become increasingly distorted over the years. It is clearly a plan set up to revitalize higher education, and some people have made it a mess. Even leaders of non-national education institutions such as Party schools and Academy of Social Sciences are fighting for the blood.

Qiao Wei suddenly reacted, with a look of sudden enlightenment, and said excitedly: "Chief, you are shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger!"

"It's not a question of shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger. I just want to use this to remind those who are passionate about fame and fortune, so that they should not forget their identity. Besides, this is what the melon deserves. After all, compared to those scholars who only need to come back to teach a few classes a year but enjoy super high treatment, melons are too rare."

Ginger is still spicy!

The understatement of the No. 3 leader not only hit the academic community, but also sent a signal that the new government valued talents. It also gave the Jizpai a loud slap. After all, compared to the empty talk of only pointing fingers, Mutton, a traitor, gave up the American green card and high-paying position, and resolutely returned to China to engage in undergraduate education. Not to mention that Professor Tian was a flood-fighting hero, and spared no effort to provide donations to AIDS patients.

…………………………………………………………

Principal Su has seen the Salted Fish Turnover, but it is the first time that a big girl can turn over in a short period of time like Tian Wenjian and such a "high-standard" turnover.

According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, the special professors of Yangtze Scholars except the Ministry of Science and Technology must apply to their university by themselves, and then be reviewed by the expert group convened by the school and made public on campus before reporting to the Ministry of Education for selection.

Now, Professor Tian not only never declared, but even went to the United States. Vice Minister Yu of the Ministry of Education once a phone call a day urging Jiang Da to go through the relevant procedures as soon as possible.

"...What should I do? This is the fourth call. The emperor is not in a hurry. The eunuch is in a hurry. We are so anxious that we go abroad. He is traveling like a ok person, and he can't even get a phone call."

Yangtze River Scholars are even more popular than deputy *** of the Party Committee of the Department-level department. Since the establishment of the Yangtze River Scholar Award Program, Jiangda has only produced four special professors and one lecture professor. Professor Tian’s salted fish will undoubtedly squeeze out a recommended candidate that has been designated by the school party committee.

This made Li *** very unhappy. However, the senior official level crushed people to death, and Deputy Minister Yu's instructions could not be ignored. What's more, according to well-informed people, this was the personal instructions of the Chief No. 3 of the Central Committee.

As the most representative administrative approach to colleges and universities, Li *** is now hating the administrative approach to colleges and universities. After all, he has collected money, eaten food, and washed baths, but he can't help others, which has forced him to do his work hard.

Principal Su, who had just finished his enrollment work, had no time or the mood to talk to him about this. In fact, he was very dissatisfied with such a partner. Seeing that he complained, he simply turned around and headed to the head of the faculty and expert service department of the Personnel Department who was waiting, and said: "At present, we have to do it, and we have to do it if we don't. Xiao Wang, you can work hard and get the written materials as soon as possible. As for Professor Tian, ​​I will look back to find Mr. Wen and his lover to see if I can contact him."

Written materials are not as simple as duplicate recommendation forms. Not only should there be copies of all scientific research projects, awards and patents of Professor Tian University; the full text of important innovative papers and the covers and catalogs of their published magazines; and the covers, catalogs and homepages of other representative works;

In addition, there are also proofs of the inclusion of SCI, ei, ssci, cssci and other citations of papers; proofs of posts abroad or important positions in China; proofs of posts at international academic conferences and copies of invitation letters or notifications for conference reports and special invitations to reports...

In short, there is so much material required that it has to be bound into books like bid documents. Catalog indexing is essential so that experts can read according to page numbers during review.

Section Chief Wang was so angry that he was stunned for a while before he said with a wry smile: "Principal, it's nothing to work hard for a while. But it's hard for a good cook to cook without rice. I can't make it up out of thin air, right? Besides, I just do administrative work. Even if all the materials are complete, it will not meet the requirements of the superiors."

The journey is like a mountain, and Section Chief Wang is really not shirking responsibility. Principal Su thought for a moment, waved his hand and said firmly: "It is a good thing for Professor Tian to participate in the selection. I think Mr. Wen will never sit idly by. I will call him now and ask him to take responsibility for this matter."

“That couldn’t be better.”

As soon as Section Chief Wang finished speaking, Li *** couldn't help asking: "Old Su, it seems that the wind has really changed. Do you think Tian Wenjian's next work should make some adjustments?"

Jiang Da, who was worried about his mistakes and was jealous of "Sage Zhang Xun? Cannibal Zhang Xun?", dared not let Professor Tian talk about those controversial content anymore. He even deprived him of the power 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 instructions of the No. 3 leader are by no means as simple as saving a mere Tian Wenjian. In a sense, they also sent a signal to the education and academic circles.

Thinking of this, Principal Su was impressed by the political insight that the old fox in front of him admired. After pondering for a moment, he resolutely said: "In fact, it is not a bad thing to have controversy. From the just-concluded admissions work, we can see that the popularity of our school has been significantly improved. Since the No. 3 leader has made the final conclusion, what else should we worry about? Let's talk about it as much as we should, and everything will be the same."

"I see that too."

Li *** changed the subject and continued: "Thinking about it now, it's a pity for him. Lao Su, you said he was not good at studying, but he just studied philosophy. If his major was economics, then we, Jiangda, would have produced an economist."

Under the current system, philosophy has been vulgarized and mentally retarded to the extreme. Even those "bricks" who are extremely shameless dare not call themselves philosophers. There are also strange things that economists, jurists, and sociologists are everywhere, but philosophy does not even have a master.

Principal Su shook his head with a wry smile. After thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said, "The short man is picking a general, so it is impossible for us, Jiangda to really put a satellite. But this is just thinking about it. If nothing unexpected happens, I think he won't stay here for long."

"What does it mean?" Li *** was confused, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Some time ago, I received calls from Governor Ding, Minister Li of the Organization Department, Vice Governor Zhao Weiming, and three provincial leaders. Although they all acted as if nothing had happened, they all mentioned Xiaotian intentionally or unintentionally. Lao Li, although we are not under the jurisdiction of the provincial party committee and government now, we must not take it lightly, and we must not make the mistakes we used to do."

In Principal Li's opinion, the instructions of the No. 3 leader were just a coincidence, and it did not mean that Tian Wenjian had a great background. After all, the status of the two was too different, and they could not beat them even if they were eight poles. The three provincial leaders were so arrogant that they truly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Thinking of the fact that he had just taken off someone's black hat, Li *** was frightened and sweated. After a while, he said regretfully: "It seems that I was Meng Lang before, Lao Su, why don't we make up for the dead? "

Principal Su sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's too late, it's too late to say anything now. Don't forget that the Ministry of Education has a clear regulation that special professors are not allowed to hold leadership positions in higher education institutions during the term of employment. Let's create a good working environment for him and let him do what he likes wholeheartedly."

Li *** then reacted and nodded repeatedly, "It's all we can do now."

As President Su said, the provincial leaders were really not very proud of Tian Wenjian. Li *** had just said a lot of congratulations to Mr. Wen, and was about to arrange a house for Professor Tian in the doctoral building. Vice Minister Gu of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department personally rushed to Jiangda to discuss the transfer of Tian Wenjian to the vice president of the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences.

The relationship was transferred from the Organization Department a few months ago, and now it is eager to be transferred. Li ***, who is thinking about how to compensate, naturally would not agree, but asked Vice Minister Gu to seek Professor Shimota's personal opinion first. As he expected, without Professor Tian's return, Professor Wen and Gu Xiaona politely declined the good intention of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.

In fact, Governor Ding Haonan was also very confused because for Tian Wenjian, who was unwilling to have a career, a deputy director of the Academy of Social Sciences at the Department is not as attractive as a scholar from the Ministry of Education Changjiang.

Despite this, Ding Haonan still gave instructions to the Academy of Social Sciences, requiring the Academy of Social Sciences to cooperate with Jiang University and ask Professor Tian University to take the lead in developing a social moral research project. He gave Professor Tian University some money in disguise to express his kindness to Qiao Wei, deputy director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee.

Just as Tian Wenjian took Professor He to beg for grandpa and grandma internationally, news of his participation in the Yangtze River scholar selection spread wildly. Public opinion was in an uproar, and right-wing scholars and Hong Kong liberal intellectuals were praised in a wave of praise, and it was natural to think that this was well deserved.

The extreme z-sect boss is just the opposite, thinking that Professor Tian is shameless in seeking fame. At the same time, he has also risen to a political level as always, saying that if Tian Wenjian is selected, it is a proof that the powerful group has made it clear to the foreign reputation!

What makes everyone laugh is that some of their views are surprisingly similar to those of the arch-rival right. They believe that Professor Tian’s run for election is a concrete manifestation of academic administration, accusing the rightists of selective blindness on this issue, criticizing the academic injustice led by the Ministry of Education, and demanding an investigation into the shameful shady stories.

It was not until the Jiangda website posted a public announcement material with Professor Tian’s resume that the overwhelming criticism stopped. Only then did everyone realize that the “Jiangda Meitu” and the “Jiangda Traitor” were neither banana people nor ignorant people. Not only were old party members with fourteen years of party membership, but they also participated in the 1998 flood fighting.

Not only is he a positive example of college students dedicating themselves to national defense, but also an outstanding demobilized soldier who made new contributions in economic construction. He was covered in wounds when he came down from the front line of flood control, leading cadres from Longjiang Shipbuilding Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and a bunch of photos of military medals, which made everyone who followed him stare at him.

Positive models are indeed established, but times have changed. You can question the authenticity of Lei Feng's deeds, but you cannot deny the fact that it is just a false one.

As for academic achievements, Professor Wen posted thirteen papers published by Tian Wenjian were published or reprinted in professional journals of the American Philosophy Society and the Royal Society of the United Kingdom. Even some internationally renowned philosophers quoted some of the views.

Dr. Tian Da studied Chinese moral philosophy in the United States, and it is indeed a pity that he took advantage of the situation, but it is obviously not easy to be recognized by international philosophical masters, especially for today's China.

Although Tian Wenjian is at the forefront of public opinion in the academic and educational circles, he is not a real public figure. Apart from some teaching videos circulating online, he has not accepted media interviews and has not made any defense through any channels.

He was just an associate professor, an associate professor who turned a blind eye to the outside world and devoted himself to teaching and educating people! It is precisely because of this that he actually gained the sympathy and respect of most people. The quarrels that had been quarrels before also became a farce.
