Jiang Wenhua is obviously a gifted mathematician. This is not only because he has published many articles in internationally renowned journals, but also because one article is said to be "quoted a lot". As a descendant of the Chinese people, it is not easy for articles to be cited in the west. Racial discrimination is obvious. It is not so easy for a Chinese descendant to publish an academic article in the west and be cited more.
Jiang Wenhua's academic career is very good. Rutgers university, where I studied for a doctorate in the United States, was qualified, NIH? Both of them are world-class Johns Hopkins universities. 20 12 After returning to China, he taught at Suzhou University for five years, and then Jiang Wenhua joined Fudan University as a teacher.
According to American practice, after five or six years, Jiang Wenhua will be transferred from one university to another, and Fudan should give him a lifetime employment contract when hiring him. This is an American practice. Here, when Jiang Wenhua transferred from Suzhou University to Fudan University, she turned to a higher place. She should have started by getting a lifetime employment contract, but she didn't.
Jiang Wenhua, who has made academic contributions, studied for two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the United States, five years in Suzhou University and five years in Fudan University, totaling 12 years. Isn't it sad that he was fired before he got a lifetime employment contract?
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not saying that Jiang Wenhua should be promoted to associate professor or get a lifetime employment contract. What I want to say is that Jiang Wenhua's boss should have given him information two or three years ago to let him know the opportunity to get a lifetime employment contract. This is the way American universities handle it.
Jiang Wenhua's transfer from Su Da to Fudan University is upward, and Fudan should give him a life-long contract, which is the way to obtain a life-long employment contract. Judging from the American system I know, it is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this level, because if you can't get a lifetime contract, you must leave school.
If you choose to drop out of school, then go to a lower school and be free to ask for a higher one. I doubt very much that there will be many junior universities to choose from in Jiang Wenhua's mathematics research route.
I heard that Jiang Wenhua is not very good at teaching in Fudan. But in a high-level university like Fudan, poor teaching should not be a problem: just host some seminars instead. Research universities have always been concerned about the depth of ideas, not how good teaching is, let alone interpersonal relationships.
The key point here is that Jiang Wenhua was thirty-nine years old and was dismissed by Fudan University. There is no way forward. It is not easy for a pure mathematician to jump ship!
The genius of mathematics is rare, and Ramanujin in India can't see the genius of the ancients; Nash in America has been watching it for a hundred years. However, we should know that the probability of mathematical genius suffering from mental disorder is relatively high. Nash suffered from severe schizophrenia, but Princeton did not expel him.
Finally, according to the online account, the murdered secretary Wang Yongzhen was a loyal and easy-going professor. Such misfortune makes me uneasy. Here, I would like to express my condolences to Wang Shuji's family.
