〇. Straight to the point
Let’s get straight to the point and present this year’s scientific research results:
Published papers and books: 0 articles/part;
Get items: 0 items;
Awards received: 0.
If we had to name it, this kind of professor could probably be called "Professor Three Eggs." If we had to describe his mood this year other than the epidemic, of course it would be happiness. So much so that when a colleague complained in the group that "sometimes I am so bored that I drink a few ounces of wine in the middle of the night," I still didn't quite understand. This is of course my fault, everyone has their own circumstances, but it also shows my own foolish and happy mood.
It should be noted that my silly and happy role as "Professor Three Eggs" did not just happen in a day or two. It has been about 10 years, right? Although not all years are as clean as this year, there are not many, one article, two articles, one item and two items.
As early as a month ago, my friend heard about my performance report and was very surprised and worried. ask:
"If this is the case, how will you pass the Fudan recruitment assessment?"
I replied: "I've been around."
He also said: "Fudan's Chinese Department is good, but it raises bastards."
A few days ago, my administrative colleagues urged me to report year-end results and work summaries as usual, and told them: "We are currently counting the teachers' results this year." I readily replied: "I have no results this year, so I can save you some labor."
Although it is said that my dissertation, projects, and awards have all taken a huge toll, God has given me the same 365 days in a year, which is no less than others. You have to find something to occupy your time. Otherwise, your back may not be comfortable if you lie flat on the bed or sit on the sofa every day. During this time, I also did some chores, which are divided into four categories: teaching, scientific research, social services and football affairs.
1. Teaching
This academic year continues to offer "Dream of Red Mansions and Life". This is a course that has been offered for many years and aims to explore a new teaching form in addition to traditional lectures and lectures. Through many years of teaching practice, as well as publicity and self-promotion, it has gained a certain reputation in society and may have had a slight impact on university teaching. Details can be found in "How dare Fudan's courses be taught like this" (Autumn 2022) (click to read).
After last school year's "Fudan Hard Core Final Exam Paper Revealed" (click to read) was released, the relevant information became a hot search topic and sparked some controversy. On January 6, the course host wrote, "Fudan Hard Core Final Exam Paper Proposal Teachers were forced to confess: It is harder and more sinister than imagined" (click to read) in response. It was the end of the red class of the previous school year and the prelude to the red class of this school year. Some students chose courses after seeing these two articles.
Compared with before, the topic update rate of this semester's courses should be more than 80%. Most weekly discussions are at the forefront of topics and are innovative and academic. Almost every week at the end of get out of class, the students are reluctant to get up and leave the classroom, which greatly satisfies the host's vanity. The course handout "Magic Red Book", class recording "Magic Red Class", and pre-class experience "Magic Red Heart" (tentative title) are planned to be published in 2023, and I hope they will be released smoothly.
In academic lectures other than teaching, a new and self-perceived important new result in red studies was initially released, "Chai Dai's Match: A New Paradigm for Understanding the Dream of Red Mansions." The proposal of the theory of "Chai Dai competing for marriage" is a perfection of the "Two Phoenixes Protecting the Pearl" paradigm, and it is believed that it will promote the research and understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions". The presentation of this result directly benefited from the teaching of "Dream of Red Mansions" this semester, which proved that the mutual learning between teaching and learning was real.
In addition to "Dream of Red Mansions and Life", postgraduate courses such as "Theories and Methods of Academic Research" and "General History of Chinese Literary Criticism" are also offered, which I believe have had a certain effect on some students.
The "Maruo Classmates Reading Club" that has been persisting for many years will continue this school year. The reading club is mainly composed of graduate students, doctoral students and postdoctoral students and is held at the end of each month. The distinctive features of scolding and harsh criticism have at least allowed young scholars to understand the essence of academics: there is no scholarship without criticism, and there is no criticism without scholarship. At the same time, it has trained the students of our association to have a healthy psychology, a strong ability to resist attack, and especially a welcoming mentality towards dissent and criticism.
Teaching self-evaluation: Excellent.
2. Scientific research
Although he has not published academic papers in paper academic journals, he has written two long academic papers and published them on the "FD New Academic Circle" public account in response to last year's comments made by the editorial board of "Literature, History and Philosophy" about Mr. Xin Deyong.
One is "The longest public account in history: This award-winning work is not the shame of the author, but the sorrow of the times" (click to read), with a full text of more than 37,000 words. The second one was published continuously on July 23rd and 24th: "The Unpardonable Papers of First-level Professors of 985 Universities" (Part 1 and 2) (click to read), with a full text of more than 60,000 words.
The two papers respectively uprooted and completely criticized the two masterpieces of "First-level Professor" Mr. It is pointed out that they are "reversal" works of "pseudo-problems" that do not exist or have been solved, and are full of ignorance, ignorance, cover-up, concealment, copying and distortion of existing academic results, current research status and historical materials; they are works of the author's wishful imagination and "self-thinking" that are wrapped up layer by layer with a large number of half-materials with three no's (irrelevant, disordered and invalid); it is a work that has been said but not said, and has not been said. For example, it is a water-soaked work that is wet all over the body; it is an airbook that does not touch arguments, argumentation, theory, textual research, and knowledge of history; from the perspective of academic standards, it is a shoddy academic work that is suspected of "tampering with documents and data", "shoddy fabrication", and violates academic ethics and norms; from the perspective of social benefits, this is a book that seeks people, money, and time to make people stupid.
These two works and criticisms are not only academic events with great influence in the year, but also rare works of academic criticism in academic history. The purpose is to provide academic enlightenment, hoping that young students will take this opportunity to understand that there is no criticism without scholarship, no scholarship without criticism, and the basic methods of academic research. Realize that in front of academics, authors, schools, professional titles, titles, publications, awards, etc. are all clouds. We should face the essence of academics directly and not let clouds obscure our vision.
Scientific research self-evaluation: excellent.
3. Social services
This academic year, the energy invested in social services is no less than teaching and scientific research. The main result is the writing of 14 epidemic prevention works. They are:
1. Call on Ludong University to revoke the decision to expel Sun Jian as soon as possible (has been cut off)
2. Family members, please don’t have any misunderstandings about “cooperation” (click to read)
3. How was Shanghai’s lifeline cut off (has been cut off)
4. A Shanghai family: I can’t bear it anymore (click to read)
5. Omicron is not scary, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid (click to read)
6. Answers to two or three questions about Zhang Weiwei’s special education (click to read)
7. Spring has been taken away by chains (has been cut off)
8. This short, greasy man from Shanghai is an eye-opener (click to read)
9. When you are sick and I take medicine, it is all the fault of world-class universities (click to read)
10. I can’t help but think of that area on the Bund where “Chinese and dogs are not allowed” (click to read)
11. China’s child-friendly index is 756 times that of the United States, and there have been subtle changes recently (click to read)
12. In broad daylight, this group of people dared to tamper with Fudan professor's "Lie Ping" paper (click to read)
13. Brother from Lihu, thank you...I'm sorry...come back soon (click to read)
14. I have been talking about being a professor for half a year...and now I finally let go (has been cut off)
These more than ten works are at least written with care and purpose. Now it seems that they can withstand the test of time. In addition to writing this article to earn traffic and build momentum, of course I also want to do something useful for the country and the public, and contribute my small amount to an early end to the epidemic prevention chaos. in:
"Calling on Ludong University to revoke the decision to expel Sun Jian as soon as possible" written on April 4th advocated justice for the expelled students and pointed out: "I thought that even if your school expelled only one student, Sun Jian would still be qualified to stay and study." Now it seems that this assertion is relatively accurate. Articles like this may not be helpful, but as an ordinary teacher, I try my best.
"How Shanghai's Lifeline Was Cut Off", written on April 14, pointed out clearly at the outset: "Shanghai's current problem is not the contradiction between blockade/clearance and peace/coexistence, but the contradiction between citizens' need to eat and see a doctor and some people who cannot eat or see a doctor." The article was widely reprinted by media at home and abroad. Its circulation volume is believed to be more than 10 million, and it is unknown that it has had a slight positive effect on the epidemic prevention situation.
"Omicron is Not Scary, Don't Be Afraid, Can't Be Afraid" written on April 27 (click to read) was published and clearly pointed out: "After nearly one (more) months of blockade, the main problem at this stage has evolved into the contradiction that patients should be treated with a normal attitude and some residents still have strong fears. There is an urgent need to eliminate fear, regain a sense of normalcy, rebuild personal and social psychology, and welcome the reopening of society with a positive attitude. "Although I know that no one except the government and those involved has the power to eliminate people's inner fear, as a writer, I can only be encouraged.
"China's child-friendly index is 756 times that of the United States, and there have been subtle changes recently" (click to read) written on May 13. The theme is the same as the previous article. It is nothing more than hoping that the people of Guanzhou will overcome their fear, and pointed out in a bold way: An important reason why some places can get through the fog of the epidemic is: "They The government is not so "people-oriented" and unwilling to take responsibility for people's lives, but wants the people themselves to be responsible for their own lives. This was a very bold statement at the time. Today, half a year later, the basic common sense that "everyone is the first person responsible for their own health" has finally become an important slogan in China. Although I don’t want to be greedy for God’s success, I am still somewhat pleased with this.
"You are sick, I am taking medicine, it is all the fault of world-class universities", written on May 5, questions the "one-yang migration" model and reflects on its underlying causes. Deep-seated problems cannot be solved, and more ridiculous things will come from time to time.
It is unbearable to look back at the difficulty of publishing these works, and the various criticisms, sieges, annihilations and criticisms they received when and after they were published. Fortunately, I was fully mentally prepared for this before, including being prepared to break my job, so it was not too surprising and I was still enjoying myself.
Generally speaking, there is nothing particularly brilliant in these articles and words. Many teachers and friends also have similar ideas, but they are limited to the environment and have no words. These words can be regarded as speaking on behalf of gentlemen of the same mind. There is only half a piece of paper about scholars and favors. These articles may not have much practical effect. I can only say that I have spent time, thought and efforts.
Social service self-evaluation: excellent.
4. Football affairs
Tonight will be the finale of the World Cup. In terms of paper strength, the French team is greater than the Argentine team. But as a 40-year old football fan, I still hope that the world will return the cup that Messi owes him.
During the Olympic Games last year, I wrote an article called "Messi's Four Hugs" (click to read it), and this morning I forwarded it to my circle of friends as a blessing. Some friends didn’t know I was a football fan and were very surprised.
Question: "Are you still a fan?"
I replied: "Nowhere, watching and playing football is my profession."
A friend said: "How can you say that being a professor is a sign of your talent?"
I replied: "That's not a compliment, it's the truth."
Although this is a joke, it is only half-joking. In my daily life, playing and watching football do account for a large part. Before the epidemic, the situation was about 1-2 hours of basketball every day, and watching ATP, NBA and La Liga every week. He also joked in the circle of friends: My biggest dream is to play in all famous school stadiums in the country.
This year’s lunar calendar also starts the new year with watching football. He also wrote a special football review "On the first day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Tiger, the National Football Team conducted a profound education on football love for the people across the country" (click to read). However, due to well-known reasons, the school stadium has been locked down for a long time this year and few games have been played. Fortunately, the foreign players and spectators have a low love index. They want the ball more than their lives and money more than their lives, but they still go to work normally, so that we fans can watch the fire in peace, away from the intrusion of the virus, and enjoy the fun of watching football. It must be noted that the three stars I am a fan of, Nadal, Curry and Messi, have all taken advantage of drug addiction to achieve good results.
Nadal won two Grand Slams in a row, the Australian Open and the French Open, leading the pack with 22 Grand Slam titles;
Curry wins the 2022 NBA championship, completing the closed loop of being a champion before Du and still being a champion after Du;
Messi has reached the final of the World Cup in Qatar and for me, regardless of whether he wins the World Cup tonight or not, he is the unique goat. Of course, everyone, please help me cheer for the good man Messi!
This semester, the courts have been liberated from time to time, so I have played several times at Handan Road Stadium, Avenue of Stars Stadium, North District Arena and Triangle Field. Among them, the penultimate game was the contest between the Guanghua Guanlou Team and the Graduate Student Team on September 11. The Guanghua Guanlou Team first fell behind 0:1, and then won 2:1. The opponent refused to accept it and asked to add 2 more games. As a result, our team fell behind 2:3. At this time, my hip joint was already hurting, but I couldn't admit defeat, so we proposed to add one more round and promised that the opponent would win if he got to 5, and we would win if we got to 10. In the final result, our side won 10:4. At the end of the game, the pain in my hip joint was unbearable.
The penultimate game was on November 20. After two months of recuperation, I seemed to have recovered somewhat. I couldn't help but feel itchy hands, so I went to the Triangle Field to try my skills again. It was still the Guanghua Guanhua Team and the Graduate Student Team. It was almost dark at that time. The first two games were 1:1, and the final game decided the outcome. The opponent was leading 7:0, and we proposed not to eat zero eggs as the goal. The results came to 1:7, 2:8, and 3:9. At this time, Mo Luohan proposed to reverse and win the game. After several changes, the final result was a 10:9 victory. After this battle, the hip joint is still hurting to this day, and his career is likely to end as a result. Alas, what happens to the victorious!
Self-evaluation on football: Excellent in watching football, failing in playing, and passing overall.
At the end, the lingering sound curls up
Seeing this may make your friends laugh. Scholars and professors are all showing off their publications, projects, and awards. What is your intention of showing off your three-egg professor in such a grand manner?
The primary intention is of course to earn traffic and prepare for possible future realization.
In addition, I want to tell young students that in addition to immersing themselves in learning in ivory towers and pursuing awards for publishing projects, college teachers can also have this kind of life; as long as they have food, clothing, housing, and a job, they can also live a very happy life this way! The goal and joy of learning should not (should) lie in published journals, projects and awards, but in reading, writing and creation, in discussions and criticisms among people of modest means, in caring for society and in the pursuit of truth. When it comes to publication, whether it is a public account, Weibo, lecture, or lecture, it is all publication, and it can be shared and criticized by the academic community. The well-known Mr. Xin Deyong and his aforementioned papers have already shown that academics have no important relationship with these things. Don't let these external and meaningless things control your mind and the happiness of research itself. When it comes to monetary rewards, just doing some tutoring or something would be faster than this. Being published in specific journals and receiving projects and awards is certainly not a bad thing, but the lack of these will not have much impact on the science itself.
By the way, I would like to inform you that postgraduate and doctoral students who apply for my postgraduate examination will not receive extra points if they display published papers and awards in the form; there is also the risk of points being deducted for inappropriate publications. GPA is also unimportant.
Of course, the real readers of this article are: personnel managers and teaching and research managers in universities and related units. What I really want to say is: (at least in the field of humanities) the magic weapon of hierarchical management of publications, projects and awards has become a shackles and medicine for graduate students, doctoral students and young scholars, a shackles and medicine for academics, and a shackles and medicine for the creativity of the Chinese nation. Please let go, relax your hands, and don't kill them with such cruel shackles!
Dear friend, after reading this year-end work summary, on a hundred-point scale, how would you rate my work this year?
