    Zhang Hanqing will never forget the famous saying of a great man of later generations: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces."  No matter in the old China with its declining national power, the new China with a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized, or in the environment after reform and opening up, no advanced technology can be achieved through introduction.  All China can rely on is the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese people.

    Because of the emphasis on education, the Fengxian system sprung up in just a few years, showing the good role of knowledge. Its military strength was nothing more than relying on the training of talents at the Northeast Martial Arts Lecture Hall, Wuhan Military Academy and later the National Defense University.

    Although the investment for a Northeastern University is a bit more, it is all worth it when you think about the huge support and continuous stamina it provides for the revitalization of Northeast industry and economic prosperity.

    Think about Japan, which used the funds from the Sino-Japanese War indemnity to invest in education and quickly "leave Asia and join Europe" and become a new great power; while the United States, despite its strict immigration policy, has given a green light to the introduction of high-level talents.  ,spare no effort.  Think about how much the country that cultivates talents has spent to successfully turn a person into a "talent". When it enjoys the results, it is taken over by the United States. In the long run, the United States will not be developed!

    After having the opportunity to take charge of the Central Committee, the theme of respecting teachers and valuing education was put on the table again.

    In China, education has taken several detours: from respecting intellectuals before liberation, to being devalued as worthless by the "stinky old nine" during the Cultural Revolution, to respecting knowledge and talents after the reform, and then  Then there are the so-called "industrialized" education system reforms that have been criticized by many parties, the so-called "those who hold scalpels are not as good as those who sell tea eggs", and the re-improvement of teachers' salaries before Zhang Hanqing's time travel.

    ? Over and over again, talents are wasted and buried generation after generation.

    The backwardness of modern China is inseparable from the backwardness of the quality of its citizens.  Due to the obscurantist policies of the Manchu rulers, education in the modern sense only began to take shape after China's borders were opened by the powerful Western imperialists.

    But it cannot be said that the status of educators in the 21st century is so noble and their salary has been greatly improved.  Compared to the early Republic of China, teachers¡ªto be precise, professors¡ªwere very well paid.

    Speaking of professors during the Republic of China, many people admired and envied them.  Because the intellectuals at that time were different from the intellectuals today. They had high knowledge, high status, high income and good income.

    Take Mr. Lu Xun as an example. Everyone knows that Lu Xun earned a lot of money from writing manuscripts and being a professor, but how rich was Lu Xun?  Some people say that Lu Xun was a "millionaire." According to statistics, Lu Xun earned a total of more than 120,000 silver dollars in the 24 years from 1912 when he went to work at the Ministry of Education in Beijing to his death in 1936, which is about 4.8 million yuan today.

    This possibility is not impossible, because judging from the income recorded in the main content of Lu Xun's diary and the treatment of professors during the Republic of China, Lu Xun was indeed considered a rich man based on his income at that time.

    "Today's people don't see the ancient moon, but this month once illuminated the ancients." Apart from Lu Xun, what was the treatment of other professors in the Republic of China?  What is the difference between the economic status of professors in the Republic of China and professors today?

    According to Article 20 of the "Regulations on the Qualification of University Teachers" and the "Salary Table of University Teachers" promulgated in June 1927, the monthly salary of a first-level professor at that time was 500 yuan in national currency, which is about 17,000 yuan today; the monthly salary of an associate professor was 340 yuan, about 17,000 yuan today.  The monthly salary for a first-level lecturer is RMB 12,000 today; the monthly salary for a first-level lecturer is RMB 260, which is about RMB 9,000 today; the monthly salary for a first-level teaching assistant is RMB 180, about RMB 6,000 today.

    In his article "Seven Years of Peking University", Mr. Li Shuhua talked about the salary of professors at Peking University during the Republic of China: "The highest salary for professors at Peking University is 280 yuan per month, and others are 260 yuan or 240 yuan per month.  . The salary of a lecturer (note: not a grade, but a part-time teacher. Lu Xun was an employee of the Ministry of Education at the time, and he was also a lecturer part-time at Peking University) is calculated at five yuan per hour. The salary of a teaching assistant is about five to sixty yuan to one yuan per month.  More than a hundred yuan.¡±

    Someone once converted the monthly salary of professors at Peking University during the Republic of China, saying that the maximum monthly salary for professors at Peking University was 280 silver dollars, which is approximately RMB 12,000 today.  Calculated at 5 yuan per hour, if you work 8 to 10 hours per week, your income can reach 160 to 200 silver dollars per month, which is about 6,000 to 8,000 yuan today.

    ??In other words, professors at that time could earn between 6 and 8,000 yuan per month just as extra money.  Of course, the team of professors at Peking University at that time was far smaller than it is now, with only about 80 people.

    Mr. Li Shuhua also said, "Life in Beijing is cheap. A small family can live on just a few dozen yuan a month. For example, if you spend 100 yuan a month, you can live a good life. You can rent a courtyard house for about  There are more than 20 houses, and the rent is only 20 to 30 yuan per month. The average monthly rent for each room is about one yuan.?¡ª¡ªZhang Hanqing once emphasized this repeatedly at the People's Party Politburo meeting: "No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education, and no matter how hard it is, you can't make your children suffer."  The state and local governments have actively invested a large amount of money to build schools and plan to popularize five-year compulsory education across the country.

    For local governments that occupy educational resources and violate the above laws and regulations, once discovered, the administrative leader will be given a demerit and will not be promoted within three years. The head of the unit that violated the regulations will be demoted, dismissed or even fired depending on the severity of the case, and will be corrected within a time limit.  , reported to the local legislative body for adjudication.

    At the beginning of the Republic of China, in order to make up for the education gap with advanced countries caused by years of turmoil and corruption, the state encouraged private schools and used all means to achieve national literacy rates, school-age student enrollment rates and the scale of higher education.  In all local governments' promotion methods for officials, in addition to examining their contribution to the economy, performance in education is a top priority.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
