Recently, the well-known actor Zhang Xiaolong was announced as a professor at the Academy of Literature and Art of the Chinese Academy of Arts, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens questioned whether he was suitable for the academic position of mentor, believing that star actors were not consistent with academic research. However, after learning about Zhang Xiaolong's academic background, people's evaluation of him began to change.
Zhang Xiaolong is not just an actor and etiquette director, he has a rich cultural heritage. He studied Xi dance at the Academy of Dance while in college and earned a bachelor's degree, and later pursued a master's degree in the Department of Ancient Chinese History. Therefore, he is not inferior to other scholars in terms of academic background.
In response to his position as a mentor, some netizens compared him with other teachers. They believe that some teachers, although highly educated, often do not attend classes often and lack communication with students, resulting in students not being able to gain substantial knowledge from their tutors. In contrast, Zhang Xiaolong, as a professor, pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability, which does not necessarily require a high degree of education. In academia, some well-known institutions also hire teachers with well-known academic qualifications when recruiting teachers to attract more students.
For students, mentors play a vital role at the graduate level. Students should keep their eyes peeled and consider a variety of factors when choosing a tutor. A good tutor can provide students with a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical ability, guide students to carry out scientific research, and provide valuable advice. Tutors can also provide students with academic resources, such as research topics and academic journals. The core of academic research lies in research methods, and a good supervisor should teach students research methods and help solve problems in academic research.
Regarding Zhang Xiaolong's views on serving as a tutor of the Chinese Academy of Arts, different netizens have different views. Some people questioned his popularity, believing that he was only selected by virtue of fame and lacked strength. However, knowing some of his academic background and the role he played, he has a certain strength in the field of culture and art. Moreover, in the professorship, he pays more attention to the cultivation of students' practical ability, which undoubtedly has a positive impact on students' academic research.
Overall, Mr. Zhang's appointment as a professor at the Chinese Academy of Arts has sparked discussion of celebrity actors taking academic positions. Although some people are skeptical about this, after learning about his academic background and academic strength, people gradually changed their evaluation of him. In any case, students should consider their own needs and the actual situation of their supervisors when choosing a supervisor to ensure that the postgraduate stage can be fruitful and meaningful, and lay a solid foundation for their academic development.
