Tu Youyou, a scientist, quipped that the Nobel Prize was not enough to buy half a living room in Beijing, which made the high-profile and luxurious wedding of movie star Huang Xiaoming criticized. Some people have moved out of the old argument that "selling tea eggs is not as good as making missiles" and think that "the efforts of scientists all their lives are not as good as a star show. "Of course, we can persuade some stars to pay attention to social impressions in their private lives, or we can call for better living and working conditions for scientists who have been quietly studying academics for decades. However, it is unrealistic for all journalists to know the ins and outs of artemisinin, even if the media don't have to speculate on celebrity weddings indefinitely.

First of all, the two are not contradictory, and second, they are incomparable. With the development of today's society, we must recognize and accept its diversity and complexity. However, the old concept of "one player does not go into the gutter" still appears in the media from time to time like a ghost. But in fact, all walks of life produce elites, but the evaluation criteria used are different. The primary criterion for evaluating literary and art workers is their works. A star who hasn't published his works for a long time usually fades out of people's sight soon-even if he creates more scandals, walks more pits and marries more, it won't help. However, the entertainment circle is a real vanity fair. When people consume the private lives of celebrities, they also determine their market position.

Huang Xiaoming's wealth is determined by his position in the film and television circle, which is inseparable from his personal efforts. This is the return of the market mechanism to an artist, and there is nothing wrong with it. The evaluation criteria of scientific and technological workers cannot rely entirely on the market. The field of science and technology is highly specialized and complex. What is good and what is not, interlaced like a mountain. Perhaps many people would rather ask quacks than care about the papers of scientists from the University of Earth Sciences, but this does not prevent the contributions of scientific and technological workers from being recognized professionally and benefiting mankind on a larger scale. Putting Tu Youyou and Huang Xiaoming together PK is dangerous logic. Just like when talking about foreign aid and debt relief to other countries, someone mentioned the poor in China. However, this contrast seems to have become a common sophistry. If the academic value of artemisinin is measured by the house price in Beijing, what conclusion will be drawn? How much can a pound sell if TUU scientists' research projects are put on the market? Further thinking, if we use some methods to reduce the income of "Huang Xiaoming", limit the wedding banquet and gift-giving scale of "Huang Xiaoming", and even prevent netizens from watching "Huang Xiaoming's wedding, what will be the consequences? Market and administrative forces should take their positions, perform their duties and do their best. The opposite of Tu Youyou is not typical of Huang Xiaoming. Even if you get married, you can lie down with a gun, and it is not an entertainment circle.

No matter how extravagant an artist is, he won't make scientists jealous. On the contrary, it is all kinds of anomie phenomena in academic circles, such as academic fraud, academic impetuousness, rigid scientific research system, unreasonable income distribution, bureaucratic scientific research institutions, and blocked personnel training mechanism, which are all environmental factors that hinder scientists from playing a greater role.
