Accept an invitation without experience
The completion of Nanyang University can be said to be the painstaking efforts of all Chinese in Singapore, and it was built by saving money. After the completion of Nanyang University, Mr. Lin Yutang was hired as the president because of his personal prestige. This is a great honor for Mr. Lin Yutang, but the only regret is that Mr. Lin Yutang has no experience in this field. As a result, there are some problems in many measures taken by Mr. Lin Yutang during his tenure as principal, such as the demolition of new school buildings, the requirements for the treatment of employees, and the mastery of financial rights.
Married with a son.
When Mr. Lin Yutang was invited to be the principal, Mr. Lin Yutang accepted. However, it is worth noting that Mr. Lin Yutang did not come alone, but brought a large family with married children to work in the school, including his nephew, son-in-law and others. This behavior is unreasonable even now, not to mention that in the past, a job could support a family. Lin Yutang's concern for relatives and friends can be said to directly affect his impression on the world.
Flee with a huge sum of money
You know, every penny of Nanyang University was pieced together by Singaporean Chinese at that time, and it was used by a school to educate future generations, not by any individual. It is under such circumstances that Lin Yutang took more than 300,000 US dollars from the school when he left the post of principal. This money is not a small sum now, not to mention the money for building a library at that time. Lin Yutang's personal behavior has to be criticized. In view of Mr. Lin Yutang's various behaviors, both Singaporean Chinese and American Chinese gave a very poor evaluation, which led to the failure of the party, so it is understandable that he missed the Nobel Prize.
