Golf has become a compulsory course.

All students of Xiamen University in 2006 must take golf courses, among which students from management, law, economics and software colleges are compulsory courses, and every student must learn to play golf. "

The news spread rapidly in various media, and even attracted foreign media such as BBC and AFP, which naturally became the "new darling" of the war of words stage. Supporters say that Xiamen University uses its own advantages to create conditions for students to learn new sports skills, and also lay the foundation for students' future employment and increase the gold content; Opponents say that the school is using public funds to let a few "elites" enjoy aristocratic life in advance in the future, wasting resources.

expert opinion/advice

Keeping close to social reality is ruining universities.

Wang Xiaoming (Professor, Shanghai University)

I don't believe the presidents of these universities are so ignorant. Their approval to offer such courses is probably based on their understanding of social reality: whether a person can become an elite in China today often depends not on his performance in knowledge, mind, understanding, imagination, creativity, communication and organizational skills, but on his social relations, which, in a popular phrase, is his "connections". People with connections know many powerful people. Here, you need golf. When you play ball, you look around. When you see someone who really looks like a rich and powerful person, go forward and get familiar with it. From familiarity to friendship, from friendship to ... the attraction of golf courses is actually here.

It should be said that such a realistic understanding is not ridiculous. If nothing else, the scandal of collusion between officials and businessmen exposed the close relationship between "connections" and "elites" However, this is an ugly phenomenon after all. It is too self-abased for a university to offer courses to cater to and encourage young people's attachment to this reality, instead of cultivating contempt and critical awareness of this ugliness in the classroom. What is reflected here is actually an unconscious numbness in the face of reality, a kind of "slave" consciousness that Lu Xun said. "elite" at such a time, it's bullshit.
