3.With 20,000 scientists leaving, there is a serious loss of talent, why is it difficult to retain scientific researchers?
Recently, a news that "Harvard's youngest Chinese professor became a naturalized American citizen" has sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
The protagonist of the incident was Harvard's youngest professor, a Chinese young man named Yin Xi, who chose to stay in the United States after graduating from Harvard with a Ph.D. Some people think that Yin Xi, as a talent trained by our country, should stay in China to serve the country, and some people think that going to the United States to conduct research can achieve better development.
In fact, this is not the first time that there has been a brain drain in our country. According to statistics, there are currently more than 320,000 scientists of Chinese descent volunteered to become Americans, and they could have come back to contribute to China's development.
So, what exactly is causing this problem? Why is it so hard for us to retain talent?
Figure 1: Another mathematical genius has emerged, and Xu Chenyang's story has attracted attention Xu Chenyang, who was born in an ordinary family in Hunan Province, was born in 1994 and has shown extraordinary mathematical talent since he was a child.
He participated in mathematics competitions with excellent results, which attracted the attention of ** and people. After being recommended to the primary school affiliated to Hunan Provincial Institute of Mathematics to receive a better mathematics education, Xu Chenyang won many awards in various mathematics competitions across the country and began to participate in the senior competitions.
When he was in junior high school, he was admitted to the mathematics class of the High School Affiliated to Peking University and started his career at Peking University. At Peking University, Xu Chenyang's mathematical talent continued to bloom, and he participated in many international mathematics competitions and achieved remarkable results.
Xu Chenyang, a young and promising mathematical genius, has made his mark in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In 2014 and 2015, he won gold and silver medals respectively, which made him highly visible in the Chinese mathematics community and attracted wide attention at home and abroad.
In addition to his outstanding achievements in the competition, Xu Chenyang also has an outstanding performance in academic research. He devoted himself to the study of mathematics while still in college, and published a number of high-level **.
His research interests include combinatorics and graph theory. In 2011, the star-studded Xu Chenyang was favored by many prestigious schools, but he finally chose the University of Utah.
However, just a year later, he made a surprising decision - to resign from his position and return to the bosom of his homeland. It was Xu Chenyang's mentor Tian Gang who founded a company in order to study mathematics more deeply"Center for Mathematical Research"and sent an invitation to Xu Chenyang, hoping to get his assistance.
Faced with such an invitation, Xu Chenyang chose to return to China without hesitation. Xu Chenyang's choice is not only his love and loyalty to the motherland, but also his deep love and persistent pursuit of mathematical research.
His story once again proves that talented young people always put the interests of the country and their cause first, showing their responsibility and responsibility.
In Figure 3, people are looking forward to Xu Chenyang's continued glory, but he unexpectedly announces that he will go to the United States again. This time, he became a full professor at MIT, which is an amazing fact because he was only 37 years old at the time!
We all understand that MIT's mathematics department is second to none in the world. We hope that when Xu Chenyang achieves achievements, he will be able to think of the motherland and return to the embrace of the motherland.
The case of Xu Chenyang and Yin Xi is not the first time it has happened, according to the Ministry of Education, China is the country with the largest brain drain in the world. The normal attrition rate should be around 2%, but after 2000, China's brain drain rate was even close to 20%.
For China, retaining talents is one of the important factors to achieve sustainable development. Unfair remuneration packages, high cost of living and housing price pressures have led to a greater preference for regions or industries with more competitive salaries.
Figure 4 shows that there is a brain drain due to a lack of career development opportunities and an imperfect innovation environment. In order to solve this problem, the state has introduced a series of measures, including deepening the talent system, increasing the introduction of talents, reforming the talent evaluation system, providing innovation platforms and opportunities, and providing better social security and welfare benefits.
For example, the state has set up projects such as the "Thousand Talents Program" and the "Thousand Talents Program for Youth" to attract high-level talents, innovative and entrepreneurial talents, and overseas talents to return to China for development or work in China.
At the same time, financial support and preferential policies are also given. Taking "Yan Ning" as an example, she studied for a doctorate in Princeton, but because of the country's reform, she chose to return to China to found the Academy of Medical Sciences, which made significant contributions to the field of biomedicine, which is the embodiment of moving forward together with the "motherland".
When we see the Chinese faces of the top laboratories abroad, there is always a trace of sourness in our hearts, our country does have a large number of talented talents scattered abroad.
However, the state is gradually improving its measures in order to solve our brain drain problem. I believe that in the near future, our people of insight will be able to return to the motherland and contribute to the construction of the motherland.
