The left-wing female assistant professor of CUHK was motivated by socialist theory, posing as an elder card in the MTR, collecting products on the street last year for the Yu Lan Festival, living a green Life, and going Home to recycle and cook Food, accusing the capitalist system of injustice. After he was caught on the spot at the subway station, he cursed the subway employees as capitalist dogs and immediately reported to his fellow democratic scholars on campus and asked the police to arrest him under the National Security Law.
Politics aside, netizens instantly counted: the monthly salary of an assistant professor at CUHK is $75,000, which is enough for the left-wing scholar to live a life of great love and tolerance and affluence, so why should he take away the transportation and food benefits from the elderly and the hungry ghosts of Bon? This phenomenon of Confucius in Lu Xun’s writing is worthy of study by the Department of Sociology.
The salaries of university teachers in Hong Kong are much higher than those in Western civilized countries: assistant professors earn 75,000 a month, and full professors earn nearly 200,000 a month with housing. In the UK, the annual salary of a lecturer at the University of London, Oxbridge, is only 40,000 pounds, and after deducting taxes, the monthly income is 2,700 pounds. A senior lecturer earns £50,000 a year, and when he retires as a professor, he earns £80,000 a year before tax.
The average annual salary of a full professor in the United States is $100,000. It is a pity that there is a disparity between the rich and the poor in terms of faculty salaries. There are many private universities in the United States, and Ivy League universities are rich, with a focus on practical subjects in medical science and technology, and star professors are very rich, such as David Silvers, a professor at Columbia University, who earns $4.4 million a year. The state government university faculty of literature, history, philosophy and social studies, Americans are not stupid, know that only by bragging, no substantive contribution, the average annual salary of only 48,000 U.S. dollars, after-tax Take home about 25,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, only half of another Education certificate secondary school teachers in Hong Kong, but also a fraction of Hong Kong’s star-level KOL, famous mouth, famous pen. Are you angry?
Twenty years ago, I was invited by the Education Bureau to participate in an academic assessment for the upgrading of a post-secondary college in Hong Kong to a university. The evaluation team included several Chinese professors from different state universities in the United States, who went to the classroom together to listen to the lectures and communicate with the college for a week. During the rest of the week, the panel had a separate dinner and discussion, like a jury retreating to deliberate. I thought there would be an exchange of knowledge, but several of the Chinese professors asked each other how much they were making per year in college, and were far more concerned about jumping through hoops and money fallout than academics. I listened and thought to myself: good thing I didn’t do a PhD and go down that road.
Twenty years later saw a few powerful college young talent elite such as Professor Shen who jumped out of the university and became the star of the network commentary, but also annual income of Hong Kong dollars ten million, the influence of no distant. Monthly income of more than 70,000, in my eyes really bleak. Welcome female assistant professor to turn to the net red, anyway, you really also red.
