Becoming an academician is the highest honor for researchers in China, and it is also the goal pursued by many researchers all their lives. It is reported that Wang Li, chief engineer of Kweichow Moutai, was successfully selected as an academician candidate. When the news came out, it attracted attention from all walks of life. Most netizens object. They believe that academicians should be held by people who are highly respected and have made great contributions, and a brewer should not be involved. A small number of netizens think that the chief engineer of Maotai is also an expert in brewing and has made contributions. So, do you think it is appropriate for the chief engineer of Maotai to be selected as an academician?

Bian Xiao thinks this is very inappropriate for the following three reasons: First, academicians should not be related to interests. Being elected as an academician is the most indispensable strength. Being elected as an academician without excellent strength and great contribution is a disrespect for the hard work of other researchers. As far as I know, the chief engineer of Kweichow Moutai has no substantial scientific research achievements and can't convince the public at all. Second, academicians have great responsibilities. Any academician is an indispensable talent for us. Becoming an academician means that society recognizes your contribution. You need to continue to work hard and do more things for the society. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You can't forget that the chief engineer of Maotai is a businessman. I don't think she will concentrate on scientific research when she is elected as an academician. Third, there are still more outstanding talents who have not been elected as academicians, the most famous of which is Ms. Tu Youyou, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. She and her team made great contributions and were not elected as academicians. Why can the chief engineer of Maotai be elected? Scientific research values results, not money.

I hope everyone can continue to pay attention to this matter and not let the scientific research community be polluted by interests. Xinhua, the most authoritative media, also voiced disapproval of the election of liquor academicians. Don't be swayed by some comments on the internet, don't take the rhythm, just pay attention to the follow-up.
