Wei Dongyi was sent to Peking University without the college entrance examination. At the age of 27, he completed his postdoctoral studies and stayed in school to teach. Now he is a math teacher in Peking University. Some time ago, a news that "Shen Wei resigned from Peking University" spread on social media. According to the informant at that time, Shen Wei left his job because of his poor speech and too many complaints.
In this regard, Chen Dayue, president of Peking University Institute of Mathematical Sciences, said that the news of Wei Dongyi's resignation on the Internet was false, and there was no such thing. On the official website of Peking University Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Wei Dongyi's name is still on the list of teachers.
Rumors stop with wise men.
People's Daily once commented on Wei Dongyi's popular network: In this era, talents are being paid attention to in a new way. Wei Dongyi, a mathematical genius who once won the championship in the mathematical competition, unexpectedly became popular on the Internet because of an interview with mineral water and steamed bread. His simple and inarticulate image is in sharp contrast with his amazing talent in mathematics, and he is affectionately called "Shen Wei" by netizens.
Although Wei Dongyi has always kept a low profile and his living habits have not changed since he became famous, the scandal about Wei Dongyi has never stopped since he became famous.
There is a rumor on the Internet that Wei Dongyi's salary is not enough to buy a house in Beijing; It is said that Wei Dongyi has no car or house; There are rumors that his class is not popular with students and has been repeatedly complained.
Although most of the worries behind the network are well-intentioned, they are wrapped in the public's yearning for and worship of knowledge. However, People's Daily Online still calls for an era, a country and the public to love knowledge, worship scholars and respect talents. This is a very beautiful spirit and a manifestation of abundance. But their stage has never been on the internet, but in their professional field.
Not plating them with unnecessary gilts, not excessively interfering with their normal life, and not labeling the name Shen Wei with malicious, playful and vulgar imitation are the best respects we can give knowledge.
