There is only half a month left before the 2023 postgraduate entrance examination, and a dispute between the sister of China Normal University and the Hubei postgraduate entrance examination student has attracted widespread public attention. Sister Xixi of China Normal University is a second-year graduate student at the Horse School of Central China Normal University, she is a part-time editor, mainly engaged in the teaching of postgraduate politics. She has accounts on multiple platforms and has a large following, especially on Weibo, which has 230,000 followers. This year, she began to charge a fee to offer postgraduate political courses, which cost more than 130 yuan. Although this ** is lower than the fees of several veteran political tutors, there are still many graduate students who are willing to buy it. This situation would have been a win-win situation, with Sissy reaping the rewards of her hard work and the graduate students gaining valuable knowledge. However, an incident shattered this harmony. Xiaozhou, a graduate student at a university in Hubei, felt that the cost was high and he couldn't afford it when he was Xi studying Xixi's political course, so he considered recording the course and sharing it with other graduate students, and at a price of 30 yuan per copy, he sold two copies of the course, which was noticed by Xixi. One of them was allegedly purchased by Sisi to gather evidence. In this way, Xixi became the party who was at fault, but her series of actions made people biased towards the graduate student Xiaozhou. Xixi issued a statement in the group, warning everyone not to record the screen. This behavior is understandable, after all, no one wants their efforts to be used as a tool for others to profit. Next, Xixi called the police and applied for a case, hoping that Xiaozhou would lose the opportunity to take the postgraduate entrance examination, thinking that he had ruined his life because of 60 yuan. That sounds harsh. Xiaozhou's words also proved Xixi's actions, he said that he had apologized to Xixi, and was willing to write a 500-word review and send his identity information to Xixi. At this point, Xiaozhou has been punished to a certain extent, but Sissy does not seem to intend to stop there. She made public Xiaozhou's information and apology letter. What's more, Xiaozhou said that Xixi also told his counselor about this incident, could it be that Xixi wanted to make the incident known to the whole school and really make Xiaozhou unable to participate in the graduate school entrance examination?It all seemed quite scary.
Other graduate students and experienced netizens found that many of Xixi's courses were not original, but referenced or even copied the course content of several other teachers, and Xixi may not have been authorized. In other words, the courses she sold were infringing. In addition, she once named her graduate school entrance examination group "three-in-one", which indicates that she mainly integrates the ** of other teachers to obtain benefits, but she does not seem to realize that her behavior has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, and this behavior also violates academic ethics. The postgraduate entrance examination is a difficult task that requires great effort, which is well understood by those who have been admitted to graduate school. Therefore, I heard that Xiaozhou had been preparing for so long, but it was possible that he would not be able to participate in the exam when it was approaching, and many students who were preparing for the exam supported Xiaozhou. And so it happened. It was suggested that Xiaozhou go to Sissy's counselor and tell the truth that Sissi had plagiarized the fruits of other people's labor, and that he would not be ashamed of it, but would feel honored. Faced with a bad situation, Xixi hurriedly emptied the ** on all platforms. At present, Xiaozhou has realized his mistake and made up for it through some actions. On December 6, he donated 1,000 yuan to the "Small Books, Big Dreams" project. He realized his mistake and apologized in time, and tried to make up for his mistake through practical actions. The response has been very good. Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. It is believed that he will be more cautious in dealing with others in the future, and understand the importance of respecting the fruits of others' labor and intellectual property rights. For Sissy, many believe that she also deserves the punishment she deserves. As a result, many people have called on ECNU to give an explanation, some have already emailed her mentor, Ms. Zhang, accusing her of disrespecting copyright and misconduct, and others are looking forward to seeing her graduate**. What is the latest development on this incident?Xiaozhou has just said that he has reached an agreement with Xixi, "everyone makes mistakes, and she and I are both students". They should have reached a settlement, and Sissy should not be subject to other punishments. There is a saying called "be strict with yourself and be lenient with others", which reminds us that each of us should be strict with ourselves and tolerant of others, and not the other way around, "be strict with others and be lenient with ourselves". Also, whatever you do, be down-to-earth and diligent, and only then can you achieve real progress and success.
Through this incident, we can see that how to protect intellectual property rights in the Internet era has become particularly important. In the self-leading industry, how to properly use the knowledge and resources of others to create and teach, and to maintain copyright and academic ethics while balancing interests, is an issue that needs to be carefully considered. This incident also reflects people's concern about academic ethics and intellectual property protection, and in the online world, the protection of intellectual property rights and the punishment of infringements should be strengthened.
