A gray of the era falls on everyone.In the era of comprehensively bringing China to the world for the world, the "gray" of the "China Action Plan" initiated by the United States fell on the head of an outstanding female scientist Wu Ying, and brought her a disaster.
Wu Ying committed suicide at home on July 10 at home. He was buried on July 17th. At the memorial service on July 28, 14 Chinese biologists spoke to remember, but until more than a month later, sheThe truth of suicide was exposed by the media: she was a victim of the "China Action Plan" that has been terminated.
Why does such a tragedy appear?The culprit is of course the "China Action Plan".This decoustal operation in the field of scientific research in China and the United States opened by the Trump administration in 2018 has been following the Chinese scientists from the beginning.According to reports, this operation conducted at least 250 scientists, most of which were Chinese.The legal results of these investigations were only two prosecutions and three convictions, but 112 scientists lost their jobs, causing a huge negative impact.
Although the plan was later announced due to the strong opposition and tremendous pressure from the American academic community, the National Health Institute (NIH), which provided scientific research funds for Wu Ying, did not stop investigating her. Since thenEssenceThe Northwest University she worked also closed her laboratory.These investigations, known as "special care", eventually overwhelmed her scientific research.
How unfortunately?As a well -known RNA biologist (RNA), it is known as a representative of Chinese female scientists standing at the tower, but suffers such no delusion.If it wasn't for a long time, it would seriously affect her scientific research; if it wasn't for her institutions that provided her scientific research and the founding unit with salary; if it was not forced to be ashamed, why would she give up her life to choose suicide?
According to news reports, Wu Ying, born in Hefei in 1963, was the pride of heaven in that era.At the age of 17, she was admitted to Shanghai Medical University, and then studied at Stanford University and Harvard University, and received faculty in many universities in the United States.Since 2005, she has taught at Vanberg Medical College of Northwest University.In addition to the beautiful resumes, Wu Ying's achievements in the academic field are also admirable, and have made outstanding contributions to the discovery of many neurological causes.Many of the peers and students she had in contact with her thought that she was kind, optimistic, dedicated, and energetic.Her ex -husband Rao Yi stated in the mourning text that she is a pure scientist. She has always been outstanding but she has always maintained a low -key. She is crystal clear and transparent but fragile.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such outstanding scientists should have more choices, and have a stronger psychological tolerance than ordinary people, so as not to use the way of ending life to cope with changes.However, we cannot experience Wu Ying, a kind person, who is helpless and incompetent when encountering a targeting, and you can't imagine the anxiety and fear she was investigated, and no one cares about the psychological problems and mental crisis of scientists like her.Essence
Scientists are the common wealth of human beings, and they are great and lonely.They are committed to changing the world and immersed in their own world.The author has come into contact with some scientists. In the process of getting along with them, I deeply feel that they also need to talk when facing problems. They need comfort when they encounter setbacks, and they need support when facing unfairness.
Wu Ying's death has caused Nih to reflect.In August of this year, NIH acknowledged the previous actions of the US government, which "caused unexpected consequences" to Asian Americans and Asian researchers.NIH is currently working with universities and academic organizations to take measures to restore the relationship with Asian researchers, but they have not apologized for his independent investigation of Wu Ying's behavior.
I hope that the "China Action Plan" for Chinese people in the United States will no longer be resurrected. It is also hoped that more and more people pay attention to the mental health of scientists.The cost of life.
