On the morning of November 29, Wuhan University held its 130th anniversary celebration. Not only the well-known alumni of Wuhan University participated, but also many presidents of well-known universities across the country attended, according to the statistics of Wuhan University, a total of 18 presidents of well-known universities at home and abroad participated in the event.
As an outsider, I feel that the focus of this school celebration is all on one person, that is, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group. Judging from the event site spread on the Internet**, Lei Jun sat in the middle of the front row, both sides and the back row were full of old people with gray hair and ruddy faces, Lei Jun's black hair, young face and well-proportioned figure were particularly conspicuous and distinctive.
His every move has attracted much attention, his 1.3 billion donations, his speech, the position he sits, and even his clothes have become news, as for other experts and scholars who have made great contributions, people don't pay much attention to them. It can be said that this school celebration, the most famous is Lei Jun, the most beneficiary is also Lei Jun, the school celebration seems to have become Lei Jun's personal show, for many years to come, the grateful Lei Jun and his generous donation of 1.3 billion yuan will stay in the memory of the people of the country for a long time, which can not be done by any advertisement.
Browsing the mobile phone push, the news related to the anniversary of Wuhan University is indispensable to Lei Jun and his 1.3 billion donation. If you don't mention Lei Jun and 1.3 billion donations, it seems that the celebration activities of Wuhan University will be overshadowed. Some people also compare the amount of donations with other schools, which is actually a kind of show-off.
In fact, not only Wuhan University, in recent years, some well-known university celebration activities are about the same, the focus of the school celebration has become the introduction of well-known alumni and his donation amount, such as the anniversary of Peking University that year, what I remember now is the founder Robin Li and his donation, it seems that he donated 600 million, I don't even remember how many years the school celebrate, and I don't remember anything else.
Yes, after the celebration, most of the people remember the famous alumni and the amount of their donations, as for the rest, I really don't remember.
As the most well-known alumnus of Wuhan University, Lei Jun and his record donation of 1.3 billion yuan should indeed be highlighted, but not too muchI always feel that the celebration should be an introduction to the school's growth process, academic achievements and contributions to the development of the country's society, and should not be a personal show for well-known alumni and a show-off of the amount of donations. Isn't this contrary to the purpose of the school celebration?
