When it comes to academicians, who do people think of?
Is it Deng Jiaxian and Qian Xuesen, who broke the nuclear blockade of the superpowers and could be worth several divisions? Or Zhu Kezhen, Li Siguang general sectarian big brother?
Or is it Yuan Longping and Zhong Nanshan, who are known as the “medical Food-free” team?
In fact, all of the above are the correct answers, these gods have the title of academician.
Academician is often the highest academic title established by a country in science and technology.
But it is such a seemingly lofty, and we ordinary people do not get on the side of the circle, but recently in the network has sparked a hot debate.
The cause of all this is that Wang Li, chief engineer of Maotai Group and a member of the National Liquor Evaluation Committee, has been shortlisted for co-option to the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Let’s not talk about this Ms. Wang, for Maotai, I believe you remember the black history of marketing it has done.
Like what made Mendeleev straight out of the 1000 trace elements of the insiders.
Sitting down to ask the nutrition and medical community to endorse themselves.
Claims that Maotai can drink out of health etc. etc..
In the principle of not being preconceived by the previous image of Maotai, I purposely went to the Internet to look up this “prospective academician”, Ms. Wang Li.
Although the citation rate of the article is not very high, but the first few papers cited are indeed related to liquor.
The name “soy sauce type” academician, also quickly spread online.
Looking through Ms. Wang’s most cited papers, I also found the words “Chinese Baijiu and Health Symposium” led by the Maotai Group, “found and confirmed the health benefits of drinking traditional famous Baijiu” and so on.
That is really not avoiding suspicion, very arrogant.
“Pancake fruit” is not convincing! The next academician should come out in the folk snack world!”
“Wang Shouyi’s thirteen incense must have a name!”
“If Wang Li was elected academician, Maotai turned into a science and technology stock, this wave favors Maotai!”
A Time on the network on the “Maotai academician” incident of the yin and yang and irony had been out of the endless.
There are also netizens who say: foreign companies are studying the colonization of Mars; our companies are studying soy sauce liquor, and awarding academicians to the study of liquor, we all have a bright future.
And a single platform in Zhihu, related issues under the thousands of answers to the discussion.
Of course, irony is irony, a thousand words into one sentence is: research liquor can get the highest honor of science and technology, they are not drunk, right?
And the core question of all this is, what is Wang Li of Maotai Group really based on? You can’t really go to the moon with Flying Maotai, right?
But before that, I might have to say something that makes myself and everyone else feel bad, that is, Wang Li’s quota is really qualified in some way, and in line with the process.
Because not only changing the world and building an atomic bomb will have the opportunity to be elected as an academician.
Including food engineering, textile engineering, coal development and other fields, as long as you are the best, made a creative or systematic achievements, have the opportunity to be elected.
Although this Wang Li may not be related to those achievements. But the research of Maotai to the field of food engineering, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
The other thing that the reviewer wants to make clear to you is that Wang Li is only a “candidate” for the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
To put it simply, in order to become a real academician, one needs to go through the process of recommendation by the local science association, selection by the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, and consideration by the Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Engineering to become a valid candidate.
At present, Wang Li is still in the recommendation stage of the local science association.
It is not that she is really about to become an academician.
Even Baidu’s boss Robin Li and BYD’s founder Wang Chuanfu, in the previous year, was also selected as a candidate for academician.
The cruel thing is, in the subsequent layers of selection and voting, the vast majority of candidates will be eliminated, a large number of sand before leaving the real academician.
So the nomination of Maotai’s chief engineer Wang Li’s behavior, the poor commentator feels and do not care what grades in the college entrance examination, first volunteer to fill a Tsinghua is the same, but also for Maotai to create a wave of momentum, get a wave of marketing.
The company has also made a point of responding to the concerns of netizens, saying that the procedure can stand up to scrutiny.
But the procedure is justified, does not mean that there is no fishy.
For the Maotai academician incident, as the official media of the Central Broadcasting Network issued a criticism of the article. The guys carefully tasting a product, should also be able to guess what the official media want to say it.
And in today’s Maotai incident after the fermentation again, the Central Broadcast Network will again evaluate the event, said: “Academician is the highest honor of the national scientific and technological community.
Academician is the country’s highest honor in science and technology, the recommended process must of course be legal, but should stand in the national strategic height for the future, and not only from a regional or an industry perspective.
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
Of course, in the end there will be no real Maotai academician, I can only say good luck to her.
However, from this incident, found another problem, that is, the people for the academician system is actually some of the grievances.
At least in the fermentation of this matter, Maotai academicians are most likely to become, but concerned about the news of the poor may remember, before the tobacco academician was successfully elected.
He is the “tobacco academician” Xie Jianping.
Including Zhong Nanshan academicians, including nearly thirty academicians had boycotted him, and finally, the Chinese Academy of Engineering said it would no longer accept nominations and recommendations in the field of tobacco science and technology.
So look, history really seems to be just a cycle.
On the contrary, and for many odd reasons, some really capable and contributing people, but can not get the title of academician.
For example, Yan Ning, who became a doctoral candidate at Tsinghua at the age of 30, tackled a world-class biological problem at the age of 37. In 2017, however, she was suspected to be too young and lost her election as a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
She finally left Tsinghua to teach at Princeton in the United States, and two years later was elected a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
Similarly, Yuan Longping, who is known as the “father of hybrid rice in the world”, applied four times before he was successfully elected as a member of the Academy of Sciences, because he concentrated on experiments and was slightly inferior in the publication of papers.
And in 2006, Yuan was also successfully elected as a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
Tu Youyou, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Biology or Medicine, is even better known.
She discovered artemisinin without a doctorate, academician title, or study background, and was even known as a scientist with three no’s. After she won the Nobel Prize, Tu Youyou was elected as a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences.
And after she won the Nobel Prize, there are netizens said: this academician title is not given quite good, otherwise a bunch of academicians only out of a Nobel Prize, quite ironic.
The real strength of the scholars can not get the honor of academicians, those engaged in tobacco and alcohol to engage in business but was nominated, perhaps this is the most let the netizens feel angry.
Finally, although Maotai’s three trillion market value is far more than Intel + Boeing, but no one will really think that the sauce-type technology can punch and kick those high precision technology.
The discerning eye can see that Maotai this cup of wine appeared in a huge bubble, before they break, stop blowing the bubble to the academic circle, careful to blow up more tragic.
Nothing more to say, dry this cup of Maotai, the words are in the wine.
