Chinese scientist Rao Yi: Give up his American citizenship and return to China, and always serve the countryIn 2011, the Chinese scientific community set off a storm. At that time,
Rao Yi, the esteemed dean of Peking University's School of Life Sciences, suffered a setback in his candidacy for academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he abruptly announced that he would quit the race for academician forever, a move that drew widespread attention. Why did Rao Yi choose to give up running for academician?
What kind of twists and turns and ups and downs did he go through on his way back to China?This article will reveal the story behind this scientist. "Going to the United States": Rao Yi's study career Rao Yi was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province in 1962
Since childhood, he has had the ambition to serve the country. After completing his studies in China, he resolutely decided to go to the United States for further study, hoping to return to China in the future to contribute to his motherland. During his Xi career in the United States, Rao Yi worked hard to study
But he was subjected to a certain technical blockade, which made him deeply unwilling. After graduation, although the United States gave him generous treatment and development opportunities, Rao Yi always cared about the motherland and chose the road of returning to China without hesitation.
He established his own brain science research institute, determined to cultivate more talents and contribute to the country's medical cause.
Despite his considerable influence in the international academic community, he suffered setbacks in his election as an academician. This result has sparked widespread speculation, and people have speculated that the reason for Rao Yi's defeat was that someone was manipulating behind the scenes
Or is it because of Rao Yi's outspoken personality that he has attracted criticism?At this moment, Rao Yi chose to issue a document announcing his withdrawal from the academician election, and he believes that this kind of "not simple" selection is meaningless
We should focus more on scientific research. His indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune has aroused people's deep thought, and it also reflects his persistence in scientific research and his original intention. As editors, we have to think:
Only by not forgetting the original intention can scientific research workers continue to move forward on the road of pursuing excellence. Rao Yi's choice makes us think deeply, under the review system, some scientists have thrown themselves into the campaign for honor, fame and fortune
But what is the value of scientific research?Do we need to re-examine the scientific research selection system to provide more opportunities for more sincere and capable scientists to develop?
