Recently, an article by Li Zhi, an associate professor at Peking University, entitled "Starting from Today's Race with Security Guards - Peking University's Doorman System, It's Time to Change" has aroused widespread discussion on the Internet. In the article, Li Zhi recounted his experience with the closed school gate system, and his "** behavior" in order to circumvent this system. The story in the article takes place at the gate of Peking University, when Li Zhizhi's doorman stopped him and asked to brush his face to enter the school, he stepped directly over the railing of the turnstile, which caused a lot of attention and controversy.
Mr. Lee said he did not believe that he had personal authorization to brush his face to enter and exit the school, so he was not obliged to comply with it. Since it takes more than ten seconds to brush his face, he often steps directly over the railing to enter the campus, and most of the guards know him and generally do not intercept him. However, in the process of leaving the school this time, he was stopped by the doorman and asked to brush his face before he could leave the school, and in the end he was out of the school again.
Li Zhi also used witty limericks in the article to express his views, saying that he entered Yanyuan with a "fluttering figure" and did not need to brush his face for authorization, but he did not dare to forget the sages. As a result of these acts, Li Zhizhi was given the title of "Hurdle Professor".
Despite his opposition to the closed school system, Li Zhi is also known for his extraordinary academic achievements and personality. He is an associate professor at Peking University and has translated Zorich's Mathematical Analysis, which has been called "the last tear of socialist science education". He likes to give advice to the school, revise the Peking University Teachers' Handbook, and oppose the practice of the School of Engineering to divide the property fee equally among the teachers. In addition, he also directly called his dean a **.
Li Zhi's actions and opinions have caused widespread discussion in society. Some people agree with his attitude of criticism and opinion, and think that he is a serious person who has the courage to express his views. However, there are also those who question whether his actions are too extreme, arguing that he is somewhat too rigid and stubborn. Some believe that Peking University's openness and freedom of thought are due to such a group of teachers and students, while others believe that the criticism and disobedience of Peking University students have brought them a bad reputation.
Hu Xijin and Southern Weekly, following up on Li Zhi's article, called on Peking University to open its doors and abolish the face-brushing system. They argue that the face-brushing approach to entering and exiting the campus gate is a sign of distrust of students and faculty and goes against the open and liberal atmosphere that a university should have. They believe that schools should trust teachers and students in self-discipline, rather than enforcing restrictions to keep schools safe.
However, there are also questions and concerns about the opening of the school gates. They believe that the face brushing system is to ensure the safety of the campus and prevent outsiders from entering the campus and thus endangering the safety of students and staff. They are worried that if the face-brushing system is abolished, it may lead to safety risks, and even incidents similar to Li Zhi's hurdles may occur.
At present, Peking University has not given a clear response to this question. Many netizens also expressed their opinions on this issue, and both sides have their own supporters. The direction of development and governance of Peking University is still a topic worthy of attention.
