The lights in the auditorium are a little dim, and the seats below are already full. On the very large curtain at the front of the auditorium, the slides of this lecture are being projected. There are several large characters printed on it: "Academic Promotion Association-

Kyoto University Reporting Meeting: Display of University Construction Achievements.” The first item of the academic promotion committee’s visit to Kyoto University was to listen to reports from university senior officials on the progress and achievements made on the campus in recent years.

Perhaps it was because those big shots were sitting on the field at the moment. The large auditorium actually felt a bit depressing. At this time, many of the participants could not clearly see the big shots sitting in the front row. It was not enough.

Under the bright light, only the silhouettes of people can be vaguely seen. However, this imitating feeling of lakes and lakes arouses people's inner awe for great authority.

This feeling of fear in the hearts of many scholars present is even stronger. The reason is very simple. Although the university is a so-called pursuit of truth and a place with a free spirit, in fact, the university teachers here have only one extremely narrow path.

Promotion path. Either get tenure or choose to leave. This is an extremely cruel promotion and elimination match. This also determines that here, there are more personal dependencies than ordinary industries.

Takeuchi was on the stage at the moment, looking at the materials he had prepared in his hands. Perhaps because the air conditioner in the auditorium was turned on, the feeling of being restrained by the collar had disappeared. The stage lights on the stage were also very soft and not dazzling.

Everything seemed to be going extremely smoothly.

Takeuchi will be responsible for the subsequent reporting.

This will be his first contact with people from the Revitalization Association.

Arguably his own first appearance.

You must succeed and step into the center of power in the Japanese scientific research community!

He moved the microphone in front of him slightly, and after confirming that everything was OK, Takeuchi took one last look at the speech notes in front of him.

"First of all -" the vice president's voice rang out, "for the Academic Promotion Council's visit to Kyoto University, our university management and all teachers and researchers would like to express our most sincere welcome and gratitude. The Academic Promotion Council has always shouldered the responsibility of Japan

The mission of revitalizing scientific research can be brought to Kyoto University today, which can be said to be a great honor for us."

"I think that our university, together with the Promotion Association, is committed to contributing to the academic progress of Japan." Takeuchi continued, "Today's report may be too boring if it just lists the university's achievements and data in recent years.

.So, I want to start with a question.”

Takeuchi raised his hand and gently pressed the remote control in his hand.

Next, there was a flash on the huge curtain, and the projection room at the back of the auditorium seemed to make a noise. Immediately afterwards, the slide switched to the background, and a few bold Chinese characters appeared on it——

"Academics and National Boundaries."

The light of these fonts shines on the eyes of everyone in the venue.

"Yes, everyone, the topic I want to get into is this one, academics and national boundaries." Takeuchi's powerful voice said, "In the past, our university adhered to Western concepts and believed that universities were a so-called independent institution.

Place is where the pursuit of truth lies. It is the so-called "academic has no national boundaries". This view has occupied the dominant position in the thinking of running Toyo University for a long time."

"Within the university, there are autonomous committees of professors that check and balance the power of the management. Many delicate balancing restrictions are designed to protect the rights of university teachers not to be interfered with."

"However, has this so-called system of university teacher autonomy really brought us fruitful results? I think, no. The cold numbers have shown that this so-called autonomous system has failed. Although our country has invested extremely huge amounts of

Public funds are used to fund scientific research, but in terms of output, it is incomparable with Western countries. Our Eastern academics can still only follow others and follow suit. So what is the problem? Is it really the case?

We Asians are not as intelligent and skilled as others? Why do we have the best students in the world, but cannot cultivate the best talents?"

"Since I took up an administrative position at Kyoto University, I have done a lot and thought a lot. Now based on my experience, I think the fundamental reason is that there is something wrong with our university system. Our system is directly inherited from the West. But

But we have never thought about whether this system is consistent with our actual situation in the East."

"The emphasis on autonomy by Western universities has its own unique historical background. After the destruction of the Roman Empire, the West fell into barbarism, and then the rise of theological power restricted the development of Western thinking. Therefore, although the university itself originated from the church,

, but in order to get rid of the shackles of theology, it is necessary to emphasize independence and non-restraint.”

"However, the situation in the East is completely different. Since the Tokugawa Shogunate, our country has been isolated overseas and isolated from the world. It was the occurrence of the Black Ship Incident that greatly shocked our country, and that led to the so-called open door

The earliest flourishing of our country's academic research lies in the translation of orchid studies. It can be seen that the foundation of our country's academic research is not about freedom and independence, but about salvation and survival. In the face of the powerful Western power at that time

, and looking for a way to save the nation and survive.”

"Does academics have national boundaries? For Westerners, of course there is no one. Because in their concept, all the countries on earth are subordinate to heaven. For them, the real difference is not between this country or that country, but in this religion.

Or another religion. It depends on whether you believe in the same true God in heaven."

"However, from the perspective of our country's history, academics have national boundaries. Because from the beginning, our country's scholars have been committed to finding ways to make our country progress. Therefore, a university system that is truly suitable for our country is a

A system that can mobilize collective power. It requires true unity, sacrifice and dedication."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Recently, the friction between the West and us has become more and more serious. Inconsistencies in trade balance, currency exchange rates, exchanges, semiconductors and other issues have become increasingly deepened. Against this background,

Under the circumstances, the urgency of reforming the university system in our country is even more urgent. It is even more necessary to have a system to mobilize everyone's reasons and serve the needs of the overall situation. I think the most important achievement of Kyoto University in recent years is to serve us.

China has explored the existence of such a university system!”

In an instant, Takeuchi pressed the remote control again.

Slides switch quickly.

It shows dense data and many important items. Above, all of them vividly show the results of the reform of Takeuchi's "no idle people" policy, as well as the scientific research output of Kyoto University in recent years. At the same time, there is a line

The cold data indicates the elimination rate of scientific researchers.

"University is not a place for idlers. If you cannot publish, you will be eliminated! Universities also need to introduce an elimination mechanism! Universities also need a baton to determine the focus of research! Universities also need obedience and discipline! Universities also need to serve the overall situation.

And service!”

With Takeuchi's infectious voice in the venue, the exciting and ambitious atmosphere seemed to have reached its peak. Although behind this grand ambition are the research careers of countless people who were expelled from the university and shattered...

At the same time, in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, newsmen were riding motorcycles, delivering the local J Weekly. Kyoto's J Weekly can be said to be the most popular local weekly. News and current affairs, celebrity gossip, anecdotes

It has everything you need. It is the favorite news magazine for locals.

A newspaper delivery man stuffed a magazine into the mailbox of a fried tofu shop. It seemed that because there was too much material in the mailbox, the entire magazine was not pushed completely into the box. All that could be seen was the title on the cover, which was in exaggerated form.

The words show:
