Features: In recent years, our yearning for masters, creative talents, and creative achievements has been quite urgent, and the measures have been quite strenuous. There are "Yangtze River Scholars" with salaries of "one hundred thousand yuan," as well as millions of yuan to attract "returning overseas talents." Many places have even offered exorbitant salaries to lure scholars, such as the "build nests to attract phoenixes" initiative. However, it should be noted that the emergence of outstanding talents and the gathering of masters is primarily a product of institutional civilization, not something that can be rapidly catalyzed through short-term, results-oriented policies. This book conducts research on modern university education, exploring and discussing topics such as what constitutes a world-class university, the social responsibilities of humanities scholars, concerns about Chinese education, and the necessity of reforming the graduate education system.
