In the end, what kind of person is most suitable to be the president of the university, I believe that everyone has an answer in mind. Some people believe that university presidents must have excellent academic ability and be academic leaders with both moral integrity and ability. It has also been argued that the most important function of university presidents is to plan the medium- and long-term development of the school and to formulate the development strategy of the school, and should be a qualified administrator. Therefore, there is a perfect portrait of the principal in everyone's mind, which also poses a high challenge to the ability of the principal.
Lin Jianhua has served as the president of chongqing university, Zhejiang university and Peking University. However, due to various past events, it has been questioned by some people, and it can be called the most aggrieved principal. But the truth of the matter must wait for the bullet to fly for a while before we can see the essence of the matter.
Professor Lin Jianhua
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > Lin Jianhua from the grassland to Peking University</h1>
Born in 1955, Lin Jianhua is a native of Gaomi, Shandong Province, but grew up on a small farm in Inner Mongolia. The farm is remotely located, tens of kilometers from the nearest county seat. Although the distance did not seem too far now, it was nearly a day to ride in a carriage at that time. Traffic is closed, the population is sparse, and only a few dozen farms outline Lin Jianhua's childhood and adolescence.
But worse than the lack of material life is the learning environment, because in a special era, Lin Jianhua was in primary school, for a long time there were no textbooks, resulting in his poor foundation. But Lin Jianhua continued to choose to study, and after graduating from high school, he worked as a middle school teacher on the farm.
President Lin Jianhua
In 1977, when the state resumed the college entrance examination, Lin Jianhua, then 22, chose to take the entrance examination and was admitted to the chemistry department of Peking University with an admission rate of less than 7 percent. In 1986, the eighth year of study at Peking University, Lin Jianhua received his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Peking University. After receiving his doctorate, Lin Jianhua stayed on to teach at Peking University as a teacher.
Two years after graduating with his ph.D., Lin Jianhua went to Germany and the United States to engage in postdoctoral research. After returning to China, lin Jianhua, who was 38 years old at the time, was appointed as a professor and doctoral supervisor at Peking University, and gradually began to move towards management positions at Peking University. Since 1997, Lin Jianhua has served as Vice President, Dean, Assistant to the President, Vice President and Executive Vice President of Peking University.

In 2010, Lin Jianhua ushered in another major turning point in his life, becoming the president of Chongqing University.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > successively took charge of Major and Zhejiang Universities</h1>
As a 985 key university in China, Chongqing University has an important position in the territory of higher education in China. However, due to the fact that some institutional mechanisms of Chongqing University are not suitable for the development of the university, some problems and contradictions have erupted in a concentrated manner during the more than two years that Lin Jianhua has been in charge of Chongqing University. For example, Professor Liang Xichang, founder of the State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Transmission of Chongqing University, jumped down from the fifth floor of the school in 2013, which triggered public opinion to question Chongqing University.
But to a large extent, this is not Lin Jianhua's fault, and all kinds of contradictions must have been rooted long before Lin Jianhua arrived or even earlier. Lin Jianhua saw these drawbacks and was determined to carry out drastic reforms. One of the most influential is to cut off chongqing university's academic inbreeding. Academic inbreeding is no different from "closing the country" to the development of college disciplines, and Lin Jianhua's reform is precisely to face this stubborn disease. Along with the personnel reform of Chongqing University, it is the interests of some people and the touch of the cake, so questions and criticisms have also come to the forefront. In this regard, Lin Jianhua once responded calmly:
The personnel reform of Chongqing University is mainly aimed at serious inbreeding, although it touches the existing pattern, but the reform as a whole benefits many teachers and students.
Chongqing University
During lin Jianhua's major political period, Chongqing University determined a two-step development strategy, that is, to lay the foundation in about 5 years and build Chongqing University into one of the best universities in China in about 15 years. In recent years, major talents have been harvested in major talent programs, and most of these talents were introduced during the Lin Jianhua period and have now borne fruitful results.
It is precisely because of Lin Jianhua's courage to innovate that more than two years later, Lin Jianhua was transferred to Zhejiang University, but he did not want to be questioned by some alumni. According to the "First Financial Daily", after the transfer of Yang Wei, the president of Zhejiang University, a joint statement signed as the head of the alumni associations of Zhejiang University suddenly came out on the Internet, pointing directly at Lin Jianhua, who will be transferred to Zhejiang University as president.
Zhejiang University
According to this joint statement, the ideal candidate for the president of Zhejiang University for most alumni in Zhejiang University is high academic status, great social influence, young and powerful, and preferably have the experience of studying and working in Zhejiang University. What is even more fatal is that the open letter expressed dissatisfaction with Lin Jianhua's appointment as president of Zhejiang University, believing that Lin Jianhua was not suitable for the position of president of Zhejiang University. One of the main reasons is that before Lin Jianhua, the three presidents of Zhejiang University were academicians, while President Lin did not have this honor.
But even in the face of such doubts, Lin Jianhua still calmly said: "That is, to be a person and do things, when not afraid of challenges, when empathetic thinking, when humble and humble."
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > returned to Peking University and moved to the highest position of university management position</h1>
However, the teachers and students of Peking University obviously do not agree with the ideas of Zhejiang University alumni, and even when the storm surged up, a professor from Peking University publicly stated at Zhejiang University that if Lin Jianhua did not serve as president of Zhejiang University and returned to Peking University as president, it would be a pity for Zhejiang University, and Peking University warmly welcomed it.
This is because Lin Jianhua, who has long served as the leader of Peking University, showed his courage to reform during his peking university period. During Lin Jianhua's tenure as provost of Peking University, he promoted the reform of undergraduate education at Peking University, changed the tendency of universities to emphasize scientific research and neglect teaching, and promoted major reform measures such as professors on the podium and the appointment of tutors for first-year undergraduate students.
Peking university
Perhaps because of this, after less than two years as president of Zhejiang University, Lin Jianhua returned to Peking University as president and went to the most well-known university in China.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > the post-order</h1>
At the 120th anniversary of Peking University, Lin Jianhua misread the word "Honghu" in Honghu Zhizhi, which once again raised questions about Lin Jianhua. But this is understandable and worthy of sympathy, because Lin Jianhua, a teenager without textbooks, would not have imagined that he would one day tell the brightest group of people in China about his thinking at the highest school in China.
