Zheng Qiang, the craziest principal, was once compared to an Internet celebrity in the education industry, and now he has a new identity.
Compared with other principals, Zheng Qiang is a person who does not follow the usual path, and he is known as the "Internet celebrity principal in the education industry" with his almost arrogant attitude.
Not only that, but now he has won a new identity, detonating **, what is going on?
As an educator, Zheng Qiang is unstoppable, and many of his atypical remarks have gone beyond the public's perception of a traditional principal.
"Flight attendants still need a graduate degree? Isn't it just serving tea and pouring water? ”
"If you can't learn a foreign language well, you are illiterate? Illiterate people say that. ”
Each of his remarks is so distinctive, because the topic is controversial, often quickly occupy the front page of the first in a short period of time.
The public's evaluation of Zheng Qiang is also mixed, and some people think that he violates the original intention of an educator, and will do anything to pursue false fame, and even grandstand, which will bring a severe blow to the education industry.
However, there are also people who support President Zheng Qiang's style, believing that he dares to be the first, dare to question, and dare to speak up for the public.
They also believe that many of Zheng Qiang's views are reasonable in themselves, but they are loyal to the ear and change the flavor when they say it, so they do not advocate criticism.
After these views underwent a second fermentation, they also quietly amplified Zheng Qiang's influence.
Although there were many opposing voices in the crowd, Zheng Qiang still went his own way, so he was also called "Professor Angry Youth" by the public.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. After Professor Zheng Qiang became famous, he aroused the dissatisfaction of some people because of some clear-cut speeches, not only pointing fingers at him, but even began to splash dirty water.
In October 2022, a netizen anonymously reported on the Internet that Professor Zheng Qiang was raised**, and the two often went out to open a house together.
As soon as this news was reported, it quickly detonated on the Internet, and netizens who were already dissatisfied with Professor Zheng Qiang came forward one after another to accuse him, and the language was quite vulgar.
In order to control **, Professor Zheng Qiang denied this accusation on his social ** and said that he would make him pay the price.
After multiple verifications, it was finally confirmed that the whistleblower's report information was completely fictitious.
This behavior not only caused serious damage to the reputation of the parties, but also disregarded the feelings of the public, which can be said to be very bad in nature, and the suspect was also taken criminal coercive measures afterwards.
Although it was a false alarm, but in retrospect, Professor Zheng Qiang still has lingering palpitations, once he is a little careless, he may completely fall into the abyss.
However, some people don't plan to let him go, and netizens associate this matter with Professor Zheng Qiang's recently stepped down **, thinking that Zheng Qiang's behavior is completely out of weakness.
Even so, Professor Zheng Qiang did not fall, and soon after he appeared as a guest on a variety show and served as a judge in this show.
This variety show mainly focuses on the divergence of China's tea culture, although Professor Zheng Qiang's research itself cannot be compared with the eight poles of tea culture, but he still chose to participate.
He attaches great importance to cultural self-confidence and national self-confidence, and he firmly believes that a country and nation must have something that they insist on, and not only cannot be abandoned with the passage of time, but must also last for a long time and carry forward the characteristics of the times.
In addition to appearing on TV shows, he is also very active on social networks, although the Internet ** once made him fall into the bottom of his life, but he did not stop eating because of choking, so he stayed away from the Internet.
In his spare time, he often expresses his views on social platforms, and sometimes communicates face-to-face with netizens, which many peers can't do.
We have the impression that educators are often immersed in the academic world, and even when they appear in the public eye, they often speak through some official channels.
However, Professor Zheng Qiang broke people's inherent cognition and was surprised to find that a professor and president can be such a non-mainstream. So what else did he do out of the ordinary?
The Internet celebrity principal's words were amazing, which quickly sparked heated discussions and aroused people's curiosity about his experience.
Professor Zheng Qiang's unusual path has left a deep impression on people, so some people are curious about what he has experienced in the past, so that he has become the "angry youth" today, and what are the unknown stories about him?
Born in Chongqing, Zheng Qiang excelled in his studies since he was a child, and in 1978, he was successfully admitted to Zhejiang University, an institution of higher learning, majoring in chemistry.
After graduating from Zhejiang University, Zheng Qiang came to the Chemical Engineering Department of the Research Institute, mainly engaged in the research and development of silicone materials.
During his work, Zheng Qiang found that there was still huge room for improvement in his knowledge reserve, which made him feel miserable for a while.
He decided to further improve his knowledge, so he used his free time to read late into the night with a book in hand.
It is with this spirit of not being afraid of hardships and willing to study that Zheng Qiang became a graduate student as he wished, focusing on the field of molecular materials.
After that, he used his academic qualifications as a springboard again until he reached the doctoral threshold.
At that time, it was very difficult to become a doctor, although Zheng Qiang seemed to be light, but only he knew how much effort he had put in.
In order to precipitate himself, Zheng Qiang chose to go abroad and came to Kyoto University in Japan for public study.
Although his performance is good enough, Zheng Qiang did not relax at all, because he knows that in the field of polymer materials, there is a considerable gap between the motherland and Japan, and only if he learns and succeeds as soon as possible can he serve the motherland.
On the day he left, the Japanese mentor repeatedly retained Zheng Qiang for the purpose of cherishing talents, but Zheng Qiang bluntly replied that he would never be a traitor, and then waved goodbye.
Ironically, Zheng Qiang was the only one in the team who went to Japan to study, unlike the other companions who stayed in Japan.
After returning to his homeland, Zheng Qiang set up a special laboratory dedicated to the research in the field of polymer rheology, which was a precedent in China.
Since then, Zheng Qiang has been deeply cultivated in Zhejiang University as a professor, and he has been working for 17 spring and autumn periods, during which he has published countless important articles, including 33 SCI alone.
In order to support Professor Zheng Qiang's research, Zhejiang University grants him tens of millions of yuan in research funds every year.
However, these funds not only did not go down the drain, but also created more than 2 billion yuan of income, and Professor Zheng Qiang also proved with his own evidence that the university's investment in him was completely worthwhile.
Professor Zheng Qiang has his own set of views on science, and he scoffs at the "science without borders" view insisted by the United States.
Once Qian Xuesen decided to return to China after learning in the United States, but he was unexpectedly placed under house arrest by the United States, and the other party found various reasons to detain him, the purpose was to let Qian Xuesen retreat in the face of difficulties and stay in the United States to work.
Professor Zheng Qiang believes that such an absurd act of the United States just proves that science exists without borders, and at the same time exposes the ugly face of Western countries.
When talking about the current situation of education in China, Professor Zheng Qiang was full of emotion, in his opinion, the educational philosophy of some parents in China is problematic.
In order to win at the starting line, today's parents set various goals for their children before they are born, and each time period must be completed.
The ardent expectations of parents are a big mountain for their children, and children have to cope with various tutoring classes while going to school, and they can't grow up happily and healthily.
It is not until after college that children often have time to refresh, but the sudden relaxation is fatal, and many children abandon their studies and fall from the pillars of the country to rotten wood.
During his teaching at Zhejiang University, Professor Zheng Qiang had witnessed countless similar situations, and he was shocked by one case after another.
For those children who can afford it, it does not mean that the crisis is over, many of them want to go overseas to gild, but often there is no return.
Countries like the United States are very preferential to international students, and it is often difficult to stand the test under the attack of various sugar-coated shells.
On the other hand, the talents that our country has worked so hard to cultivate are picked up by others and ready-made, which is very unfavorable to China's scientific progress.
So, in order to retain talents, what efforts does Zheng Qiang have made?
Principal Zheng Qiang's words are amazing, and he is nicknamed "Internet celebrity principal", but he has big ideals in his chest.
As far as Professor Zheng Qiang is concerned, he could have stayed in the laboratory of Zhejiang University all the time, concentrating on academics and gaining fame and fortune, but he did not do so.
In 2012, Professor Zheng Qiang took the initiative to leave his comfort zone and applied to Guizhou University to take up the position of president, so why did he do this, and what problems did he encounter?
At that time, Guizhou University could be said to be poor, although Zheng Qiang had made sufficient preparations in advance, but from the moment he stepped on campus, he was still stunned by everything in front of him.
The whole school is in a dilapidated state, with dilapidated school buildings, crooked street trees, and potholes on the ground.
Not only that, but the school style is also very unbearable, and a large number of students can often be seen absent during class time.
What is even more unbelievable is that most teachers turn a deaf ear to this situation, and they are also perfunctory about their teaching work, and they have no intention of teaching at all.
The whole school is full of such a state of malaise, and the difficulty of transformation can be imagined, which gives Zheng Qiang, who is full of confidence, a dismount.
However, he was not defeated by the difficulties in front of him, and since there are many problems, he might as well start with the basics.
Zheng Qiang called in the gardener, pruned the crooked trees, re-paved the bare surface with grass, and then repaired the pothole-ridden road.
After a series of rectifications, Guizhou University finally has the appearance of a school and has a new look.
Next, Zheng Qiang focused on the rectification of the education group, and for those teachers who did not have teacher ethics, they were all forced to review, and those who failed the review were expelled.
In the face of Zheng Qiang's iron-blooded policy, teachers did not dare to mess around as before, and the teaching status was visibly improved.
In this way, Guizhou University, which seemed to be hopeless, was brought back to life in the hands of Zheng Qiang, which impressed many declining leaders.
However, Zheng Qiang was not satisfied with founding an ordinary university, he set higher requirements for himself.
He decided to give Guizhou University its own characteristics, and after some careful consideration, he focused on several fields such as liquor and tea.
As a famous wine-producing province in China, Guizhou not only continuously delivers fine wine to various places, but also forms a wine culture with strong local characteristics.
This gave Zheng Qiang inspiration, so he opened a liquor-related major in the school, and soon expanded the major to tea, tobacco and other fields, which was strongly recognized by his classmates.
As a high-achieving student, he knows the importance of talents, which is also the foundation of a university's survival, he rushed to make a school reform plan overnight, and went to the provincial leaders to apply for approval.
After unremitting efforts, he finally secured research funding for Guizhou University, and used the funds to establish a laboratory dedicated to research and development in the field of materials.
After that, he exerted his personal influence to recruit talents from the society, and successfully introduced more than 200 doctoral students, laying a solid foundation for the take-off of the university.
Seeing that Guizhou University was on the right track step by step, he made another surprising decision and resigned as president.
For Guizhou University, Zheng Qiang can be called a reborn parent, and he himself has a high prestige in the eyes of teachers and students, and he can continue to do it.
However, Professor Zheng Qiang admitted that he left to give more opportunities to the younger generation, and believed that the school would embrace a better tomorrow.
He had planned to stay away from the rivers and lakes and choose to retire peacefully, but to his surprise, a new appointment found him.
After receiving the notice, he came to Taiyuan University of Technology non-stop, this university itself has a certain strength, but it has not been able to go to a higher level for a long time.
Using his experience during his tenure at Guizhou University, he proposed that Taiyuan Engineering should be closely linked with Shanxi coal, and suggested that coal should be used as the theme to establish related majors.
He spearheaded the development of intelligent robots to facilitate mine exploration, reduce labor costs, and prepare for potential dangers.
At the same time, he also picked up his old business and set up a team to research new materials.
He is very clear about the positioning of Taiyuan Engineering, he does not recommend being separated from top universities like Qingbei, but they must have their own characteristics, and they are not bad in these characteristic fields.
Although Zheng Qiang's side is always full of doubts, not only is he not defeated by these negative evaluations, but he is also more and more frustrated, moving forward step by step.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer educators like Professor Zheng Qiang, who deserves the respect of each and every one of us.
