Chapter 885 Interview
As soon as the news came out, some people expressed disbelief at first.

How can a person who engages in cramming education, does not pay attention to quality education, and does not cultivate students' creative thinking, win the Nobel Prize?

Yang Dongsheng is spreading false news, arranging smoke bombs for the students who jumped off the building, and they will soon be slapped in the face by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Even after the excitement, Yang Dongsheng himself was a little skeptical. After all, the selection of the Nobel Prize is confidential, and he is afraid of being publicized after the news is leaked.

Until the news released by various authoritative channels came one after another, the media at home and abroad reported that the latest Nobel Prize in Physics came from China.

Some people seemed to be strangled by a rope for an instant, and could no longer make a sound.

In the previous life, it was not until 2010 that graphene won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

But in this life, with the strong support of Yang Dongsheng, there are more research results on graphene than in the previous life at the same time, and the quality is higher.

After the news was confirmed, it immediately aroused extensive discussions across the country.

Yang Dongsheng and Dongsheng Group were once again promoted to the altar.

This is not a shitty peace award, nor is it a literature award, this is a natural science award.

Besides Andre Heim, the other two winners, Zhao Wenshan and Huang Yuanpeng, are both out-and-out Chinese.

Among them, Huang Yuanpeng's undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees were all obtained in domestic schools.

Unlike this year's other Nobel Prize winner, Qian Yongjian, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008, bears the name of Chinese descent, but he can't even speak a few words in Chinese.

Immediately after winning the award, he issued a statement that he is an American, grew up in the United States and received an American education.Bloodlines cannot determine a person's identity, and a free environment is the prerequisite for cultivating a scientist.

I am afraid that I will have a little relationship with China!
Although Andre Heim is a foreigner, the discovery and research of graphene was done in China from the beginning to the end, which is original and of great significance.

The leaders of the Shanghai-listed government went to Dongsheng Semiconductor in person on the same day and visited three experts.

The leaders of the Academy of Sciences, the Science and Technology Association, and the education department also came to Shanghai to visit the three of them.

The alma maters of the three also sent congratulatory messages!
Both the class monitor and Li Rufeng called to congratulate Yang Dongsheng.

Yang Dongsheng is very happy, with such strong official support, Zhao Wenshan and Huang Yuanpeng have basically reserved two academician places for next year.

At this time, they were both in the prime of life, one was in his early forties, and the other was only 39 years old.

Their research journey is far from over.

If he wants to, Andre Heim can also get a Chinese green card and become a foreign academician.

Next, they will definitely become the targets of poaching corners by all parties.

Yang Dongsheng had to find a way to keep these three people.

This is the sequelae of winning the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on December 2008, 12.

Yang Ma sent a film crew to film a series of films for the three winners, to coordinate with the Nobel Prize Ceremony and conduct publicity reports.

After interviewing the three winners, Mama Yang wanted to interview Yang Dongsheng.

In order to cooperate with this wave of propaganda, Yang Dongsheng accepted the interview.

The host is one of Yang Ma's ace anchors, a famous male host whose name can be called by most viewers across the country.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang!" the host said.

"Thank you!" Yang Dongsheng nodded.

"Can you talk about your current mood?" the host asked.

"About mood? I don't really think anything about it!" Yang Dongsheng waved his hand pretending to be X, "It is not our goal to win the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize can only be regarded as a bonus for our research! Is there a Nobel Prize?" Award, what should we do next, or what we have to do.”

If Yang Dongsheng said these words before October 10th, he would definitely be laughed out of his teeth.

But when he said it now, there was an unbelievable force in it.

Even the host, who is used to seeing big scenes, was taken aback by Yang Dongsheng.

"I always believe that the most taboo thing to do in scientific research is utilitarianism! It is too easy to make mistakes when doing scientific research with utilitarianism! In the history of science and technology, there are endless incidents of falsification in order to win awards, and even the Nobel Prize has suffered from it! "Yang Dongsheng's tone changed again at this time, "Looking at the projects proposed in our group over the years, there are many projects that have the potential to win the Nobel Prize, but we have not done many projects!"

"Mr. Yang, can you tell us about the projects?" The host was immediately interested.

Now all universities and scientific research institutions in China are desperately striving for a Nobel Prize.

Even if Yang Dongsheng only reveals a general direction, it can save universities and research institutions from taking many detours in the future.

Yang Dongsheng smiled and said, "There are many examples. For example, gravitational waves are a very good project! In 1916, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves based on the general theory of relativity, but it has not been confirmed until now. If gravity can be confirmed With the existence of Bo, it is no problem to win a Nobel Prize for achievements of this level!"

"Why didn't you do it?" the host asked.

"Because of insufficient funds!" Yang Dongsheng spread his hands, "Gravity wave detection devices require too much precision and require too much investment. Since the 60s, many gravitational wave detectors have been established around the world. There have also been substantial improvements in the field of detection, including the two detectors built by the United States in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, in 1999. However, the accuracy of these detectors is still not up to the requirements for detecting gravitational waves. It will only be possible after further upgrades. We roughly estimated that to build such a project, the project investment alone will cost tens of billions, and we don’t have many of the technologies!”

Yang Dongsheng continued, "Our country is still very poor, and there are still many areas that need research funding. In the foreseeable future, researching astronomy will not bring us direct economic benefits, nor will it directly promote our scientific and technological development. , we can only temporarily give up investment in this area, which is why Dongsheng Institute of Technology has no astronomy department. At present, we can only invest limited funds in some projects that can generate benefits in the short term and can promote industrial development. We are close to the gap with developed countries. Only when we are rich in funds in the future will we be qualified to talk about projects such as astronomy and high-energy physics."

The host nodded, "I gave up the chance to win the Nobel Prize. It is convenient for Mr. Yang to reveal, what projects are you working on?"

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "The projects we are working on include high-temperature superconductivity, controllable nuclear fusion, quantum computers, artificial intelligence, etc. Among them, major breakthroughs in high-temperature superconductivity, controllable nuclear fusion and other projects are enough to win promises." The Bell Prize! But our goal from the very beginning is development, not the Nobel Prize! These projects are related to our country, and whether it can stand in the world of science in the future is more important than the Nobel Prize."

After listening to Yang Dongsheng's words, the host was thoughtful, and suddenly he changed the topic and asked Yang Dongsheng another question, "I still remember a piece of news not long ago, Mr. Yang seemed to have objections to the current education reform, can he say Why don't you agree with the current XX reform?"

"Accurately speaking, the news was just a few weeks ago!" Yang Dongsheng smiled, "The reason why I don't agree with the current XX reform is very simple. Our direction was wrong from the beginning. Many years ago, we had a group of education experts go to the United States Visiting and studying to learn American education, but because the management of private schools in the United States is very strict, the parents of students enrolled in private schools are either rich or expensive, they cannot enter private schools to visit, and can only visit public schools along the way. After these people come back , based on their experience of visiting public schools, they wrote a lot of articles, saying that we can only cram duck-style education, and there are many courses for students. Other American schools use sheep-herding education, no extracurricular homework, and the courses are very easy. Encourage Students' creative thinking, so we started to 'lighten the burden'."

During this period of time, these education experts scolded Yang Dongsheng the most, and rushed to the forefront of criticizing Yang Dongsheng. In fact, the conflict between them and Yang Dongsheng was irreconcilable.

Yang Dongsheng continued, "Actually, anyone who knows a little about American education knows that, except for the anomalies like the University of California, top prestigious schools such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and Caltech are all private, Trinity School in New York, Top middle schools such as Westlake Middle School in Los Angeles are also private. Moreover, most of the students of top private universities come from top private high schools. These top private middle schools will hire the best teachers with high salaries, buy the best teaching aids, and distribute uniforms to students. All kinds of courses are full, which are almost exactly the same as our key high schools."

"So for comparison, what are public high schools in the United States like?" the host asked.

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "A few years ago, there was a movie in the United States called "Harvard Road". This is a typical American public school. Most of the students are dawdling. After graduating from high school and completing the 13 years of compulsory education in the United States, they go to the restaurant to work The waiter, working as a construction site worker, among these people, can be admitted to a good university every year. The heroine can be admitted to Harvard, in addition to the heroine's high IQ, but also because of her hard work. At 11 o'clock in the evening, the teachers all left , she was still studying by herself, even when she was working part-time, she was washing dishes and reading books. She got all A's in her grades and passed the No. Not by creativity!"

The host nodded repeatedly.

"But how many examples like this are there in the United States?" Without waiting for the host to answer, Yang Dongsheng replied, "There must be very few, and if there are many, it won't be made into a movie, right?"

"Hehe..." The host laughed along with him.

Yang Dongsheng said angrily again at this time, "If you don't even know the difference between public schools and private schools, you are stupid to talk about education reform; if you pretend to be confused, the matter will be more serious. We should organize Somebody go check those education experts!"

Seeing that Yang Dongsheng was getting more and more angry, the host quickly changed the subject and said, "Aren't you worried that cramming education will kill students' creative thinking?"

"What is creative thinking? People who don't even have a good grasp of basic knowledge, what kind of creative things can you expect them to do? At best, they are pseudosciences such as perpetual motion machines! The development of technology has become very complicated at this stage For the subject of mathematics alone, after Poincaré's death in 1912, no mathematician dared to say that he was an all-rounder in mathematics, and no matter how powerful a mathematician was, he only dared to say that he was proficient in one or two branches of mathematics. A person's life is very short, and the time to make creative inventions is even shorter. Students must master the required knowledge in the shortest possible time, and then enter the unknown field to make groundbreaking research results. Those The education experts opened their mouths and shut up, saying that our students are not creative! Are our students really not creative?" Yang Dongsheng shook his head, "In Silicon Valley and NASA in the United States, the top experts are all Chinese, and most of them are Chinese. They all came out of schools in mainland China, and they are the most creative people in the world."

"You said that the direction of our XX reform was wrong at the beginning, do you think we should learn from American private schools?" the host asked.

"You can learn, but you can't completely imitate!" Yang Dongsheng said.

"What aspects do you think should be eliminated?" The host asked again.

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "The school district housing system of American private schools cannot be learned! Whether a student can go to a good school depends not on the grades, but on whether the student's family has a house in a good school district. Then there is only one result, the rich The children of the poor can only go to good schools, and the children of the poor can only go to bad schools, and then continue. Even if the situation in "The Stormy Harvard Road" happens occasionally, the proportion is too small! The rich will always be rich, and the poor will always be rich. Poorer and poorer, unable to achieve class transition through hard work, leading to class solidification. Once the class is solidified, the entire country will decline or even perish. Why did we have to change dynasties every few hundred years in ancient times! Because at the end of the dynasty, the class The solidification is too serious, and only by completely overthrowing the existing class can a new class be created and the problem of class solidification be solved.”

The host nodded and asked again, "Do you have any suggestions for the reform of the current university admission system?"

"It's unreasonable to have a test for life! But at present, the test is still the fairest way to select talents! Learning from the United States to engage in sports and art students will only become a breeding ground for corruption." Yang Dongsheng said.

"Then what do you think is the most important aspect of current education?" asked the host.

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while, then raised a finger, "There are actually many aspects of American universities that are worthy of our school. I will briefly talk about my thoughts. First, the elimination system. Our previous junior and senior high school education is actually very good. Well, the key middle schools follow the elite education route of European and American private schools, and at the same time avoid the disadvantages of the school district housing system. The real problem is our university education, because our university implements strict entry and wide exit, as long as you can enter the university It’s like entering a safe, and you can graduate no matter what. Many people finish their four-year university studies, but they have regressed compared to high school. In contrast, the more top universities in the United States, the higher the elimination rate, such as Caltech and California Institute of Technology. At the University of Berkeley, only about half of the undergraduates can graduate on schedule within four years. Many prestigious schools in the United States have high student suicide rates all year round. Even so, these schools are still unwilling to give up the last elimination system. I think the introduction of last elimination The system can have an immediate effect on university education!"

Yang Dongsheng raised his second finger again, "Second, teacher-student romance is prohibited. Many of our schools still treat teacher-student romance as a good story. I don't rule out that there is true love in teacher-student romance, but how many? I'm afraid you won't find a couple. Teacher-student romance is the most common corruption phenomenon in education. Since the 70s and [-]s, American schools have implemented an iron law that once a teacher-student relationship is discovered, the teacher will be expelled immediately. Because in the teacher-student relationship, students are naturally in a disadvantaged position. If the teacher is not willing, teacher-student love is impossible. I have never understood why we have not learned from such a simple system. Could it be that XX was reformed at the beginning? expert, someone married his student?"

"..." The host smiled and didn't answer.

Yang Dongsheng then raised his third finger, "Third, reduce the weight of English. Our college entrance examination puts English in the same important position as mathematics and Chinese. The university also needs to take CET-20 and CET-[-], as well as graduate students. English is also the most important. Course. I once gave the CET-[-] test questions to my American employees, and half of them failed the test. Especially in the listening part, they generally said that the Englishman’s pronunciation was too weird. This kind of English test, In addition to supporting a group of English teachers and off-campus English tutoring classes, what is the use? Exams are purely for exams, and it is better to eliminate them as soon as possible. More importantly, according to the current development speed of computers, I feel that in about [-] years, we will Can come up with a translation system based on artificial intelligence that can translate in real time. It takes a lot of time to learn an ability that will eventually be eliminated, and judging from the current results, many people have no English ability even after passing CET-[-] or CET-[-]. Limited, it's not worth it!"

"Fourth, correct the atmosphere in the school. Liberalism is too strong in colleges and universities now!" Yang Dongsheng looked at the host, "These are the only four things I can think of right now."

The host nodded, "Thank you Mr. Yang for accepting our interview."

In this interview, Yang Dongsheng said a lot.

If nothing else, much of this content would have been cut, and possibly not aired at all.

But with Yang Dongsheng's understanding of the process, those people in the sea will see the complete content of today's interview.

In this way, Yang Dongsheng's goal was achieved, and whether he could be seen by the audience in front of the TV was secondary.

Andre Heim, Zhao Wenshan, and Huang Yuanpeng rushed to Sweden to attend the Nobel Prize Ceremony.

An EMBA classmate told Yang Dongsheng that XXX was going to authorize Dongsheng Institute of Technology to train masters in mechanical engineering, mining engineering, and electronic and computer engineering.

During this period, private colleges and universities were still unable to recruit graduate students.

In the previous life, it was not until 2011 that the country approved for the first time 5 private colleges and universities with the qualifications to train postgraduates with professional master's degrees.
