Early this morning, I watched a video released by a netizen in a wechat group. In the video, a couple of academicians made some heartfelt remarks about the current situation of science and technology in China. The main idea (slightly modified) is: "With a large amount of investment, China's scientific and technological level has indeed improved compared with the past, but it is still far from developed countries. Taking large medical equipment as an example, these equipment are developed based on the principles of basic physics. More than 95% of China's equipment depends on imports, and the contribution of Chinese physicists is almost zero. Although we have trained a large number of teachers, they are also sent out There are a large number of excellent students, and some people have grown up slowly, but at present, the vast majority of people still stay at the level of being able to use and manage equipment. This involves a big problem, and the originality is almost all foreign. "After watching this video, I can't help thinking about the development status of other disciplines "Where is the creativity of Chinese researchers, especially the original ability?"

Indeed, in the long-term "five only" Misled by, the vast majority of scientific researchers in China have fallen into the quagmire of doing short-term and fast research. For example, some rely on sophisticated foreign equipment to make use of the scarcity of samples, some rely on tracking hot spots to imitate cloning to make authoritative papers, and more rely on picking up omissions to make up for general journal papers. However, original papers that subvert previous cognition are rare. Due to multiple papers, especially top journals and rights Wei's thesis will bring great benefits to researchers, which will inevitably induce them to gradually forget their original intention of scientific research and become obsessed with it. It will seriously weaken their curiosity and enhance their utilitarian heart, resulting in a serious decline in their original low creativity, resulting in a large number of chicken rib achievements lacking wisdom. In the long run, the following problems will be accumulated:

(1) The individual value of scientific researchers is difficult to reflect, and the scientific spirit is gradually lost, making "running in circles" and "worshiping the wharf" fashionable;

(2) Those researchers who have strong creativity and "sharpen their swords for ten years" have been put in the cold palace, while those who produce more and faster so-called achievements have both fame and wealth;

(3) The overall innovation power of the scientific and technological community is drying up, and the original ability is declining day by day;

(4) The scientific and technological community has almost become a utilitarian field, a vanity field, and may even move towards a situation where right and wrong are not divided and black and white are reversed.

In order to enhance the creativity of scientific researchers, on the one hand, we must break the institutional and institutional barriers. In recent years, the state issued the "five only" The new deal has paved the way for it. I hope all scientific research institutions can implement it; on the other hand, scientific researchers should have the feelings of home and country and sense of responsibility, learn and cherish the scientific spirit of the old generation, such as meditation, truth-seeking innovation and meticulous, give full play to their subjective initiative, aim at real problems and make real knowledge. Yes, in an era of extremely poor material conditions, Tu Yo yo, and so on, the generation of scientific research personnel can still achieve remarkable achievements. But in today's era of awesome strength and financial resources, we can not make even more remarkable achievements.

Contemporary scientific researchers need to reflect collectively: it is so difficult for them to use their intelligence and wisdom on the right path - to overcome difficulties, to contribute to the development of science and technology and the substantive progress of human society, to draw a complete end to their scientific research life, and to leave memories for future generations. Are they unwilling to even try? People leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind. If scientific researchers use the guise of scientific research to serve them Even if you can gain temporary fame and wealth for a while, you can't leave a name in history; if you come to the world for nothing, you will end up with endless regret. What can you do!
