Chapter 119, Application for School Qualification

In the courtyard of the Wang family in the Imperial Capital, Li Fu was playing Go with Mr. Wang and chatting. It was not long after the New Year, and Li Fu naturally wanted to visit the Imperial Capital. After all, Li Fu and Wang Yun were now The relationship has been confirmed, and it’s time to formally obtain the certificate and hold a banquet.

"I didn't expect your Go level to be quite high. I haven't met an opponent in Go for a long time."

Mr. Wang was holding a white piece at this time. He had a white piece in his hand and didn't know where to put it. He frowned in thought.

Li Fu smiled slightly. Li Fu had just started playing Go, so he could not be the old man's opponent. However, Li Fu had Xiaoying's help, and Xiaoying's computing power was billions of times stronger than AlphaGo. I can handle the old man casually.

The two of them were playing chess and talking about everything, and naturally they talked about the current affairs.

"Li Fu, what do you think of our country now?"

"Our country is now prospering, and it can basically be said to have achieved a great rejuvenation. However, our country still has many problems. The current situation is still very fragile. If there are fluctuations, I am afraid it will return to the past. ”

Li Fu thought carefully about a cautious answer in his mind. When he was with the old man, he had to think twice before speaking or doing anything.

"Well, in those areas do you think our country is weak and needs improvement?"

The old man nodded slightly. He was very clear about the situation. Just as Li Fu said, if he described it as a person, he would look like someone who has just escaped poverty and entered a well-off society. However, this kind of well-off society is still very unstable. , is not solid enough, and if you get sick or have a natural or man-made disaster, you will immediately become a poor household again.

"There are many areas that need improvement. Education, medical care, and social security are enough for us to work hard for a long time. What's more, if there is a deeper level of social fairness, justice, equality, and the improvement of the overall quality and mental outlook of the people, There are so many things that are profoundly related but are not paid attention to at all now.”

Li Fu combined the national situation of the Han Technological Empire that he learned from the super civilization seeds of the Han Technological Empire, and pointed out the current problem. The current problem is that he has just left the food and wants to pursue a better level, but he has some limitations. Too many flaws limit further progress.

"Fair, just, equal?"

After hearing Li Fu's words, the old man gently put down the chess piece in his hand and carefully pondered the profound meaning contained in it.

"Yes, with the continuous improvement of the overall cultural level of the people in our country, coupled with the rise of the Internet, information is now very developed, and the people are definitely not the ignorant people they used to be. They are naturally more aware of fairness, justice, and equality in their hearts. Desire, because there are too many unfair, unjust, and unequal phenomena in society, and many of them are even unfair, unjust, and unequal at the highest level.”

Li Fu nodded and continued to speak slowly. What Li Fu said was certainly not empty talk, nor was it aimless. Anyone who has entered society should be able to understand it. Not to mention the employment of college graduates. Banks, government units, and public institutions all basically require connections to get in. As for a position in a state-owned enterprise being passed down from grandfather to son, and from son to grandson, it is not uncommon. There are too many things like this in society. As social classes solidify, this will become even more true in the future.

"Um."

The old man nodded gently. Of course he was very aware of these situations, but he also knew very well that it was too difficult to change this, and it could even be said to be basically impossible.

"Then what do you think should be done to change this?"

“Education and Technology!”

Li Fu said these two things without hesitation.

"Tell me in detail."

Seeing Li Fu's quick answer, the old man asked immediately.

“The importance of education is self-evident. It can improve the quality of citizens, enable them to have more survival abilities, and of course, it can also have stronger competitiveness in the increasingly fierce international competition. However, our current education has already Some have gone astray.”

"If nothing else, it is very wrong to just list English as the three most important test items. Just because the earth is developing towards internationalization, we need to make every citizen speak English. Because of English, we Too many things have been lost.”

"Many people have pretty good grades in science and engineering, but they fail the college entrance examination because of English, and they can only be buried in the end. Moreover, the current education has slowly transformed into exam-oriented education. This is the biggest failure. "

"As for technology, technology is the key to determining whether a country or a civilization is strong or not. In the future, if we humans enter the interstellar age and the cosmic age, technology will be even more critical."

Li Fu carefully organized his words and said everything he wanted to express in his heart. Li Fu's grades have been quite good since he was a child, so he could be admitted to university. However, Li Fu also watched too much in high school. Many, too many top students in science can only enter third-rate schools because of poor English scores, and are slowly buried.

In fact, if these people are well trained, they may not be able to become outstanding scientists, engineers, etc. in the future. However, just because English is a foreign language and they have learned it for many years, they will eventually be useless and regret for life.

"The reason why English has such a high status is still closely related to the lack of confidence of our people back then. Although we have stood up now, we are still a dwarf in spirit and lack confidence."

The old man nodded when he heard English. In fact, this is also a product of that period of history. Even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a discussion about whether to completely abandon Chinese and use English as the official language. He also personally experienced that period and knew it clearly.

The Chinese people have spent a lot of energy and resources on learning English, but learning English is of no use for future work, life, etc. Most people will not need to use English. This is like a person who has spent a lot of time and energy to practice the art of slaying dragons, but it is useless.

If a person takes the wrong path, it only affects the fate of the person, but if a country takes the wrong path, it affects the fate of the country.

"Yes, our people are still too unconfident."

Li Fu also nodded slowly. There are too many manifestations of the lack of confidence of the Chinese people. For example, rich people and middle- and high-level immigrants have to respect others wherever they go, while others can disrespect you, etc. There are too many.

"I heard from Wang Yun that you are going to open a university. How do you plan to educate in the future? What is the teaching philosophy?"

When talking about this, Mr. Wang also remembered what Wang Yun had told him about Li Fu before, and knew that Li Fu was now preparing to open Sanjiang University.

"The teaching philosophy is very simple, that is, to be willing to spend money to enter, combine theory with practice, and demonstrate everything in the textbook one by one, instead of just reading it once and taking an exam once."

"The content of teaching will focus more on high-tech fields, and the future aviation and aerospace fields, mainly science and engineering."

The planned university in Sanjiang is very important to Li Fu, because it is related to whether Li Fu can have enough talents to use in the future. Now the company recruits employees, especially scientific researchers, and basically Li Fu needs to train them for a relatively long time.

Theoretical knowledge is still good, but practical ability, divergent thinking, and creative thinking are far behind. Now I can still hold on, but in the future in the interstellar and in the universe, Li Fu thinks that he still needs to learn the education method of the Han Dynasty's technological empire.

Try to train everyone as a scientist as much as possible. The investment in education should not only be willing, but also targeted. Only by focusing on science and technology can one's civilization master more powerful technology as soon as possible and have more powerful power. Only in this way can it stand at the top in the cruel environment of the universe.

This time Li Fu came to the imperial capital, not only to the Wang family, but also to get the qualification to run a school through Mr. Wang. It is not an easy thing to open a private university. There are countless stamps for approval, and admission qualifications must be obtained. Each one must go through layers of approval.

Although Sanjiang Town, Meijiang County, and even the Jiangnan Provincial Government have helped a lot, some not very important issues have been resolved. As for the faculty, Li Fu can easily solve it with a lot of money, not to mention Li Fu, a Nobel Prize winner and academician.

However, it has been stuck in the final approval. Now many private colleges are basically affiliated colleges of some universities, which are not in the mainstream at all. Many of them are even junior colleges, with the name of a certain university and a certain college. In fact, they are essentially tools for making money.

There is no real teaching and education. Entering such a university is basically to spend money happily for a few years, and then get a diploma that cannot even enter the threshold of many companies, and you can't learn anything at all.

Li Fu is naturally unwilling to open only such a university, and Li Fu has no intention of making money from Sanjiang University. What Li Fu wants is to open a university that can truly cultivate elites.

I will tell you that the reason why Lao Niu complained about English is because he didn't do well in the college entrance examination in English?
