Social assessment
Liu Daoyu is a famous educator in China, the former president of Wuhan University, and the man of the hour in the education reform in 1980s. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, he was "seconded" to the Ministry of Education as a member of the party group and director of the higher education department, with the focus on rectifying the order of higher education. During the symposium on science and education, He, as one of the organizers of the symposium, suggested that Cha Quanxing, a representative of Wuhan University, make suggestions to cancel the university recommendation system prevailing during the Cultural Revolution and restore the college entrance examination enrollment system that had been interrupted for many years. It should be said that Liu Daoyu played a vital role in the restoration of the college entrance examination system.
Restoring the college entrance examination is the forerunner of national reform. It was at this critical moment of surging spring tides that Liu Daoyu, who resigned from all posts of the Ministry of Education on the grounds of physical discomfort, returned to Wuhan University and was immediately appointed as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan University. 1981August 2 1 was appointed president of Wuhan university. At that time, he was 48. The appointment of the State Council was reported on the front page of People's Daily the next day, and Liu Daoyu was called "the first university president among the college students trained by himself after the liberation of China, and the youngest president among the national key universities". The heavy responsibility lies on the shoulders, and the expectation is infinite.
China universities have not taken any measures to "Qian Xuesen's question" so far, which is the helplessness of Liu Daoyu, but also the embarrassment of Qian Xuesen, a master of science and technology. It is not his character to stop fighting. He is a soldier, and it is his character to go forward in order to achieve his goal. He finally chose-Shouting.
Liu Daoyu is not a saint. Of course, he is neither a great man nor a perfect man. He is a soldier, a soldier who rushed to the front line. He has ideals and responsibilities, as well as mistakes and mistakes. As a result, his face was covered with smoke and dust, but he walked forward without hesitation, fell down and got up again.
Soldiers will win respect, even if they are "wounded soldiers"; The evaluation of a historical figure depends on what he represents and where he faces. In fact, President Liu has become an indelible memory of Wuhan University and an unavoidable topic in China education, not because he is always right, not because he is perfect, but because he represents a spirit. He is even just a symbol and symbol of this spirit. This spirit is called "reform".

During his stay at Wuhan University, Yang Xiaokai published two books, Fundamentals of Mathematical Economics and Theory of Economic Control. Some econometric models he estimated did not arouse repercussions in China, but attracted the attention of Zou Zhizhuang, a professor at Princeton University who was visiting Wuhan University at that time. From 65438 to 0983, under the arrangement of Zou Zhizhuang, Yang Xiaokai was admitted as a doctoral student in the Economics Department of Princeton University.
