The Controversy between Journalism Professor and Zhang Xuefeng

Original link: https://zhangxue.name/3950/

In my opinion, the dispute between academics and Internet celebrities, such as the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism, such as the dispute between lofty utopianism and self-interested pragmatism, because they cannot convince each other, this kind of contest is meaningful.

The prosperity of any discipline always requires a strong character and a few innocent hearts. Teachers preach and teach, but students are always separated, and academics are at an end. It is understandable to raise their arms and shout; It’s understandable for Zhang Xuefeng to prescribe the right medicine for his heart to search for pills and medicines.

But this is not the case. It is not romance but reality that wants to share a share of the flow with reality.

I don’t like Zhang Xuefeng in the live broadcast room. These postgraduate entrance examination tutors will always narrowly use their own experience or the experience of those around them to induce students to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and self-righteously instill values ​​into students in a way similar to pyramid schemes. I have never been able to accept coercion. Occasionally brushing their videos is just for entertainment. Regarding the video of him “stunning” the candidates who applied for the journalism exam, I did see it before the matter fermented, but I didn’t think it was inappropriate at the time. Zhang gave advice to parents based on the current social situation and the situation of the students, not out of context of “the children report the news and learn to knock him out”. This is a case-by-case discussion, but his demeanor and tone of voice when expressing his views without thinking have become a hint to the public: journalism is not worth applying for.

Therefore, it is not surprising when the academics voiced their intention to “stun” Zhang Xuefeng. Surprisingly, on the premise that Zhang did not clearly explain the reasons for persuasion, the academic school hastily cited individual cases of entering higher education and employment as bargaining chips to refute Zhang. Could it be that college teachers tacitly agree that the reason why journalism is criticized is only employment difficulty? The social environment is not an individual that can turn the tide. It only talks about external risks and not internal causes, and the purpose is to shirk. What’s even more ridiculous is that they even want to gain a sense of accomplishment in the process of comparing scientific research results with the postgraduate entrance examination tutors. If college teachers all take employment as their guide and papers as indicators, and their value shifts from teaching and educating people to career guidance, why can’t parents seek help from Zhang Xuefeng? After all, Zhang dared to come up with a conclusion in the consultation on academic improvement, and never dragged his feet. His authority was no less than that of a college professor.

I was disappointed after reading this, until I saw Professor Zou of Xiamen University “joining the war” again in the afternoon.

“First of all, I don’t recommend knocking anyone out, because if you are knocked out, you will really be unconscious.” Professor Zou accepted the exaggerated joke of the other party, and opened the article with a cold humor with puns, which made people lower their posture and want to borrow money from you. If I were Zhang Xuefeng, I would put away my arrogance at this time and smile away.

“You can be concerned about Zhang Xuefeng’s doubts, but you don’t need to be afraid of his destructive power.” Just these two sentences made me instantly dispel my doubts about Professor Zou, and I am full of admiration. Not afraid of challenges, this is the cultural self-confidence that scholars should have; not credulous in conclusions, this is the critical spirit that intellectuals should have. So I didn’t hesitate to delete half of the current commentary I wrote arbitrarily.

Later, I still picked up the pen, because I did not get the “sobriety” I imagined in the following reading. It was either to arouse the young people’s blood with the cry for justice, or to establish news with noble professional ethics. man’s firm belief. Even if all this cannot be realized for the time being, at least there will be a deep reflection and public opinion survey on the issues raised by Zhang Xuefeng, using cultural introspection to vote on the belief and ambition to set things right, and to give the successive journalism students a career instead of a career. It’s a pity that from the fragmentary words, what I read is the sorrow of the smell of wine and the deep alley, and the complaint that heroes are hard to use in the world. Being a good teacher is still passive and shunning the world, so how can you embarrass the students? There is no way to answer when you express your feelings, and there is no way to express your ambition when you meditate on your words.

Coincidentally, on the way home from work, I saw a tweet about Jiang Xinjie, the author of “The Death of the Red Rabbit” and a senior who was often talked about by Chinese teachers in high school. He told the story of his “Encirclement and Suppression of Waste Oil”. Laymen respect the journalists, they are a group of warriors who dare to face blood and bleak life, they are fearless of power, fear of public opinion, fear of intimidation, fear of ordinary people. This is probably a wisp of white air in Professor Zou’s Sand Tea Noodles, and the firework air is also a product, but it should not be Zhang Xuefeng’s bowl.
