Wang Yin, male, Ph.D. candidate, Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University. Undergraduate study in Sichuan University. My senior year was sent to Tsinghua University to study PhD, and now it's only one year before graduation. During this period, he was famous for the article "Fully cooperating with linux" and the promotion of TeX, which were "amateur things outside the research results". A few days ago, he published an open letter on the Internet, saying that he would apply to drop out of Tsinghua.
Dr. Tsinghua applied to drop out of school and accused the current doctoral system of stifling creativity
-
On September 22nd, Wang Yin, a Ph.D. student in Tsinghua, published "The Crushing of Tsinghua Dream-Tsinghua University's Application for Quitting School" on Shui Mu Community Blog, explicitly demanding to quit school.
The reporter was confirmed by Zhao, Vice President of Tsinghua Graduate School, that it was true to ask to drop out of school, but the school has not yet approved it. Yesterday, the person in charge of Tsinghua University told the Morning Post that he (Wang Yin) was free to make this choice.
"With papers, there is money"-creativity is disappearing.
Wang Yin is a graduate student majoring in computer science in Tsinghua University. She has been studying for four years, and she will graduate from her doctorate in one year. When he was studying in Tsinghua, he became famous for "working completely with Linux".
In the application for dropping out of school, Wang Yin thinks that doctoral education is "thesis, thesis, thesis or thesis", and his achievement is "my self-cultivation".
The letter also revealed that "doctoral students in Tsinghua must send four papers after graduation, one of which must be an SCI index or two EI indexes". It's not that he can't write a paper. He also has SCI articles, but he feels that those published articles are not of interest to him, of little value, or even rubbish.
Wang Yin said, "Even if the tutor knows that your paper is worthless, he will ask you to publish it. I found that behind the number of papers is the wishful thinking of some people. Think about what is going on. How does the state fund research? Look at the paper It is also an armchair strategist to evaluate the level of a school. The country has no ability to evaluate your ability. Just how much paper you have, of course. So with paper, you have money. "
He thinks that the doctor is doing his thesis, not really doing scientific research, and his creativity is gradually disappearing, wasting four years.
There are different opinions on the internet. Most people admire Wang Yin's courage!
Wang Yin 1 10,000 word application for suspension from school was forwarded on the Internet, and the click rate was quite high. In this regard, netizens have mixed comments. Some netizens think that Wang Yin is a bit extreme and too idealistic. "The learning environment in China is a bit depressing, but whether foreign countries can reach the level in his mind depends on his positioning." "This buddy is too idealistic and a little talented. Schools and teachers can do the same to him. Others will be rich. He regards doctoral research as too sacred. "
Some netizens think it is irresponsible for him to leave like this. "How much does it cost for the school to train him and the country to train him? This investment is quite large. It is irresponsible of him to leave like this. "
More netizens admire Wang Yin's courage. "Our creativity is slowly disappearing." "To tell the truth, this is not a kind of giving up, because maybe he can get more. I admire Wang Yin's courage! " "At present, doctors studying in domestic universities actually feel Wang Yin-confused and depressed. He just has little courage. "
Tsinghua University: This choice is personal freedom.
Yesterday, the Morning Post reporter called Tsinghua University. The person in charge told the Morning Post reporter that in today's diversified development, it is personal freedom for doctoral students to make this choice. If he drops out of school, he should bear the corresponding consequences according to the relevant regulations of the school. In Wang Yin's application for suspension from school, he said that "doctors should pay a penalty of 30,000 yuan for suspension from school".
Ministry of Education: This matter has nothing to do with the education system.
Yesterday, a related person from the Ministry of Education told the Morning Post reporter that he had seen relevant reports about this incident on the Internet. His personal view is that this is only an individual phenomenon. He said, "If it were you, if it were me, would you and I give up the Ph.D. in Tsinghua? Who will give up Dr. Tsinghua? "
The official said that Wang Yin has his own ideas and opinions. "There is nothing wrong with self-cultivation." However, be cautious when applying for withdrawal. He doesn't think this matter has anything to do with the education system, and he doesn't think it has anything in common with Chen Danqing's resignation, which was hotly debated some time ago.
Reasons for dropping out of school 1: If you have a thesis, you will have money-creativity is disappearing.
Writing a thesis is not real research, it will only stifle creativity.
Reason 2 for dropping out of school: the tutor does not guide.
Tutors will weaken students' ability to some extent. Tutors don't like our classes, because they will not only spend their time on research (or work), but also broaden their horizons and make it easy for students to choose to leave.
Dr. Tsinghua dropped out of school: It is said that he went to London University for further study.

September 27th, 2005 00:57 China Times
Wang Jin, an intern of our newspaper, revealed yesterday that Wang Yin had gone to the University of London for further study, but the reporter failed to verify it further. If you want to know some original opinions of the doctor who dropped out of school, you can also get a glimpse from his article "The Crushing of Tsinghua Dream-Tsinghua University's Application for Dropout".
In this article titled "The Disillusionment of Tsinghua Dream", Wang Yin's speech revealed his dissatisfaction with the college entrance examination system since high school. He thinks that the college entrance examination has turned him into an examination machine. He thought that with his own talent, he could go to Tsinghua. I didn't expect that.
However, he was admitted to Sichuan University, and from the postgraduate entrance examination of Sichuan University to Tsinghua, he found that Tsinghua was different from what he had imagined. September 22 this year is the fourth year of postgraduate study (master's degree and doctoral degree, with a five-year academic system). Editor's Note) Wang Yin proposed to drop out of school. What caused him to drop out of school?
If you don't understand, you will fail the exam by 80 points.
Wang Yin wrote in "The Crushing of Tsinghua Dreams", "The teachers in Tsinghua are also scripted, but I actually found that they are no different from the teachers in Sichuan University. The difference in Tsinghua is that once the exam comes, all the original recreational activities disappear. Originally, everyone played roller skating together every night, and I was left alone during the exam. " Later, the result was that "if the doctoral student scored 80 points, he could not retake the exam." I don't know why I feel that I got 80 points in the subject I failed. "
In the first year of doctoral study, Wang Yin finished all his homework. Wang Yin has always wanted to choose more courses, but according to the regulations of Tsinghua, Dr. Tsinghua needs to submit a "training plan" to his tutor for his signature, and it can only be revised after the tutor agrees. Wang Yin chose to study French, but his tutor refused his request, on the grounds that "there are too many courses, and it will be very troublesome to fail the exam". Personally, Wang Yin thinks that the tutor is afraid that "it is not only necessary to spend time doing research in class, but also to broaden one's horizons, so that students can easily have other choices and leave".
Because of the discussion, I had a disagreement with my tutor.
When doing research, Wang Yin found that he had no clue in many aspects, hoping to "discuss with his brothers and sisters". At first, the tutor didn't agree, because several people need to sign when discussing and doing research together, and the doctoral thesis only depends on who the first author is. Later, Wang Yin cited foreign examples and argued that the tutor agreed that he could only discuss with the tutor and assistant tutor. Later, he proposed to set up a common room to discuss problems, but it was rejected.
Query doctoral students' plagiarism of papers
Wang Yin mentioned in his application for suspension: "So far, I haven't seen a few articles that I think are decent in my direction. I mainly study the routing algorithm of integrated circuits. A graduated senior revised it on the basis of his research and published several papers. If English is not enough, translate it into Chinese and put it in domestic journals. Later, a senior revised it on the basis of this senior and sent many articles. However, in my opinion, their papers are purely fried rice, and there is no innovation. What graduate students in Tsinghua are doing now is to write a good paper and then find a place to throw it out.
SCI is the best, followed by EI. It doesn't matter if no one reads the remote magazine, and it doesn't matter if you pay. I know that there is a journal included in SCI in Japan that charged a page fee of $65,438+0,000. The tutor paid for it, but he didn't vote for nothing. He voted for a good graduation.
The teacher of Sichuan University disagreed.
Through various contacts, the reporter found Wang Yin's counselor and teacher when he was studying in the Computer Department of Sichuan University, Grade 97. The teacher, who asked not to be named, repeatedly told reporters that he could not be interviewed before obtaining the consent of the college and the college party Committee. "This matter is very hot on the Internet, and we are also very concerned. However, I am embarrassed. I need the consent of the college and the party Committee before I can interview. "
Under the reporter's indirect inquiry, I learned that Wang Yin graduated from Sichuan University several years ago and then lost contact with the school. He did well in school. "At least at the top of the class." The teacher recalled, "It can be said that he was a talented person, and it was one of his dreams to choose to go to Tsinghua later." However, when talking about Wang Yin's abandonment of Tsinghua University's doctorate, the teacher expressed disapproval. "I think there is something wrong with his value orientation. I agree with what a netizen said on the Internet. He may not be able to withstand setbacks. "
At the Tsinghua University Forum, some students have regarded Wang Yin as an idol.
