Rao Yi speaks again: China's support for young people in the past 30 years

[Although our country still has a lot to improve in universities and science and technology, and we need to do better in supporting young people, we must not forget two facts:

1) China has made long-term efforts to increase support for young people in the past 30 years;

2) People who propose and implement the plan to support young people often have not only their own treatment unchanged, but they may also become the focus of contradictions because of their support for young people, and their "self-interests" may be harmed
.

The new system is the latest link to support the development of young people and the development of China.
It needs to be improved in reform, not abolished]

In 1994, the National Natural Science Foundation of China launched the "Outstanding Youth Fund" to select and support young people under the age of 45
.
The state supports young people, overtaking some others

In 1994, Dean Zhou Guangzhao started the Hundred Talents Program of the Academy of Sciences, also recruiting young people
.
Later it will be incorporated into the core part of the "Knowledge Innovation Plan" initiated by Dean Lu Yongxiang in 1998

In 1998, the Ministry of Education launched the "Changjiang Distinguished Professor", all for young people
.
At that time, some people didn't dare to ask for an annual salary of 100,000

In the mid-2000s, leaders of many units in China realized that they had the conditions to go further
.
Fudan University and Wuhan University took the lead in recruiting Jinli and Shu Hongbing with a million annual salary.

Without a new plan, without a new hat, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to support young people
.
Colleges and scientific research institutes are all national undertakings, and the salary of undertakings is regulated by national policies, laws and regulations

Doing better at Peking University and Tsinghua University, academicians, including old academicians, have increased their incomes after young people
.
Of course, in some units that have the conditions to refuse to implement reforms, leaders who are not academicians often offer academicians higher treatment before giving young people

However, whether it is from the perspective of development or management, the requirements for those who increase their salaries need to be increased
.
Otherwise, the "old man" is not convinced

The pre-employment system plays a role in improving quality
.
But the pre-employment system is also a very large institutional support for young people

Because it is not easy to establish a new system, there are not many good units for the pre-employment system.
The first is the new unit, Beijing Institute of Life Sciences, Beijing Brain Science Center (disclosed, I participated in the founding of leadership), West Lake University, Southern University of Science and Technology , There may be Shanghai University of Science and Technology (I heard about it, but I haven't been to it)
.

　　Both Peking University and Tsinghua University are doing very well, but they need coordination after all
.
Peking University and Tsinghua University have rich experience in how to gradually, resolutely and effectively reform under the condition of the original system being enlarged
.
General units can specifically communicate with relevant personnel from Peking University and Tsinghua University, and considerable experience can be used for reference
.
Of course, the communication partners are not limited to those who are still on the job.
Some of them have retired who played a big role and have rich experience
.

　　The new unit implements a pre-employment system, and the income of administrative staff is significantly lower than that of scientific research staff
.
In some new units, the maximum income of administrative staff is close to that of assistant professors or associate professors under the new system, but far below the high income of scientific researchers
.
Administrative support and auxiliary positioning are clear
.
These new units sometimes have problems that require and encourage scientific researchers to respect administrative staff
.

　　These new units have not only joined the ranks of our country in supporting young people, but also solved or worked hard to solve problems criticized or worried by young people
.

　　If young people want a simple environment, of course the new unit is their first choice, but many people have to go to various old units for various reasons
.
Before you go, you should discuss it clearly with the employer.
A written contract is required, not personal or verbal
.

　　Young people, as well as those who are not familiar with China's higher education and science and technology, can make reasonable suggestions and requirements, but also need to see what reasonable treatment and requirements are
.
It is not appropriate to be arrogant, to direct grievances to policies and people that support young people, let alone to support and promote the abolition of the new system that supports young people
.

　　The new system is the result of many people in China working hard to support young people
.
It may need to be improved, but it should not be overthrown and regressed
.

　　China's development needs young people
.
China's support for young people should not be ignored
.
