A Chinese female student became the president of a well-known American university. After reading her struggle history, I lost emo instantly
Chinese people are showing their edge on the world stage.
On April 3 this year, Wang Jinliu officially became the 17th dean of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, USA.
This is the first female scholar from mainland China to serve as the president of an American university in history.
01
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) is one of the earliest engineering schools in the United States. It was founded in 1865 and has a long history.
At the same time, it is also the alma mater of Mei Yiqi, the permanent old president of Tsinghua University, known as "Little MIT".
As early as the end of last year, a news report from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute stated that Wang Jinliu is a "comprehensive and collaborative leader in the fields of higher education, government and industry."
And it was announced at the press conference that Wang Jinliu will succeed the former dean Laurie Leshin on April 3 this year and become the 17th dean of the school.
Released by the US Embassy in China
Wang Jinliu is the first Chinese scholar studying in the United States to serve as the female president of an American university, and also the second female president in the history of Worcester Polytechnic University.
While breaking history, it also made everyone curious, what kind of Chinese women with backgrounds can break through the encirclement and take the position of president of an American university?
Wang Jin Liu Benshuo studied at Beijing University of Chemical Technology, where he obtained a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in polymer materials.
Going to the United States for further study starts from the stage of study after graduation.
At Northwestern University, Jinliu Wang received a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering.
Of course, it is not enough to be the principal of a prestigious American school with such a background.
Before joining academia, Wang Jinliu worked in R&D at IBM/Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.
At that time, her work focused on the research and development of magnetic thin films and carbon coatings for data storage, and she has 7 US patents.
In 2009, Wang Jinliu joined the National Science Foundation (NSF) Industrial Innovation and Cooperation Division, and became the director of the Division in 2012.
This work experience unexpectedly sprouted her yearning for education.
Wang Jinliu officially entered the field of higher education in 2017.
This year, she left the National Science Foundation and joined the State University of New York system.
Not only is he a professor in the Department of Materials Design and Innovation at the State University of New York at Buffalo, but also the senior vice chancellor for research and economic development at the school.

After some experience, with his rich teaching and management experience, Wang Jinliu was appointed as the interim president of SUNY Polytechnic.
Since then, he has served as the executive vice president for research at Ohio State University, and also serves as a professor of materials science and engineering at Ohio State University.

However, higher education is not the end of Wang Jinliu's career.
In 2020 and 2021, as a field expert, Wang Jinliu was appointed by the U.S. Department of Energy as a "National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee Member" to set foot in politics.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) is one of the earliest engineering schools in the United States. It was founded in 1865 and has a long history.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute is one of the earliest technical universities in the United States. The school has obtained authoritative certification in engineering (ABET), chemistry (ACS), computer science (CASB), business (AACSB) and other disciplines. At the same time, Worcester Polytechnic Institute also has 12 inventions that can change the world, including the world's first liquid fuel rocket and the first commercial radio station.
From a professional scholar to bravely entering the education and political circles, Wang Jinliu is undoubtedly the best among Chinese students studying in the United States.
In the world education circle, more Chinese are blooming.

Under the difficult and dangerous situation in the field of higher education in the United States, the Chinese-American principal has opened up a brand-new path, allowing the whole United States to see the new ideas, new strengths, and new directions of Chinese-Americans!
In addition to Wang Jinliu, there are many Chinese Americans who have contributed to American higher education and education around the world.
On June 10 this year, the board of directors of Purdue University in Indiana announced Mung Chiang as the 13th president of the school.
This means that the 45-year-old Jiang Meng has become the first Chinese president of Purdue University since its founding 153 years ago!
Beside this there is………
The first president of a Chinese-American university in the history of the United States, the president of San Francisco State University: Wu Jiawei (Hong Kong, China)
The first Chinese president of UC Berkeley: Tian Changlin (Taiwan, China)
Columbia University's first Chinese female vice president: Zhou Yizhen (Chinese American)
President of UC Santa Barbara: Yang Zuyou (Taiwan, China)
In addition, there is the head of the department.
In the United States, there are very few Chinese as the head of the life science department.
Zuo Jian, director of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Creighton University, is an undergraduate at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, a graduate student at UCSF, and a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller.
Yan Riqiang, director of Neuroscience Department of Connecticut University, undergraduate of Pharmacy Department of Shanghai Medical College, biochemistry of Kentucky, postdoctoral fellow of Chicago.
Merlin, chair of the Department of Neuroscience at Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Jiangxi Medical College 1977 undergraduate, Dr. Arizona, Johns Hopkins postdoctoral.
Western Reserve University School of Medicine is a leading medical school in the United States, and its Department of Pharmacology is the first to be established in the United States, with strong related disciplines.
Pan Duojia, director of the Department of Physiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern).
Undergraduate at Peking University, he has been doing research with fruit flies since he was a doctoral student at UCLA in the United States, and his postdoctoral fellow is in Gerry Rubin's laboratory in Berkeley.
After Wang came to power, he launched the so-called "China Initiative" (China Initiative) in 2018 under the pretext of "cracking down on economic espionage" and "cracking down on intellectual property theft", aiming to investigate foreign institutions' influence on the US economy, technology, and business Secret theft.
But in fact, this plan is mainly aimed at Chinese scientists in the United States and researchers who have cooperative relations with China.
As of the end of 2021, the "China Action Plan" has concocted a total of 77 cases, and 148 people have been charged, and nearly 90% of them are Chinese.
A large number of Chinese scientists were forced to stop scientific research, face economic and reputation losses, and even suffer criminal punishment during the investigation of the "China Action Plan".
After Biden came to power, he inherited the policy of Wang Wang.
Although U.S. science and technology officials have repeatedly stated that they will improve the working environment of Chinese scientists and alleviate the concerns of Chinese Americans, the Biden administration says one thing and does another, and suppresses Chinese scientists one after another.
In such an environment, more and more Chinese scientists choose to leave.
It is also because of this that the news that Wang Jinliu became the principal "exploded" so much.
The existence of rare animals is also a kind of hope.

The same phenomenon also appeared in Silicon Valley in the United States.
In the Silicon Valley of the United States where high-tech companies gather, there are many elite Chinese and Indians living at the same time.
We found an interesting phenomenon:
Most of the Chinese are ordinary "office worker code farmers", while Indian CEOs abound.
How many Indian CEOs are there?
——Almost "occupied" most of the multinational technology and Internet companies in Silicon Valley.
A picture to see the difference:
Among them are some celebrities who often make headlines, such as——
CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet: Sundar Pichai
Microsoft CEO: Satya Nadella
Twitter CEO: Parag Agrawal
NetApp CEO: George Kurian George Kurian
Adobe CEO: Shantanu Narayen
The CEOs of the above-mentioned famous American technology giants are all first-generation immigrants born in India.
For a long time, there has been a voice:
Chinese are no better than Indians.
Silicon Valley full of Indians
According to statistics, 1/3 of the engineers working in Silicon Valley fourteen years ago (2008) were of Indian origin, and 7% of the CEOs of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley were of Indian origin. The sum created by Chinese, Chinese and Japanese is even more.
Recently, among the top 500 companies in the United States, there are 75 foreign CEOs.
Among them, 10 people of Indian descent (nationality) ranked first. British origin (nationality) ranked second with 9 people. None of these CEOs are of Chinese descent (nationality) from mainland China, and only one is of Chinese descent from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Does the "Chinese curse" really exist?
You can take a look at Tian Changlin, the first Chinese principal of UCB.
In 1990, Tian Changlin stood out from 258 candidates and became the first Chinese and Asian university president in the 122-year history of the University of California, Berkeley.
In fact, behind Tian Changlin's glorious experience, there are countless pains:
When I first arrived in the United States, I could only go to dilapidated toilets because of the signs of "whites only" hanging on the clean and high-end toilets.
Tian Changlin's mentor never called him a serious name, and always called him "Chinaman" very casually.
Not long after the news of Tian Changlin's election was announced, there were many threatening phone calls and letters one after another, threatening to kill him if he became the principal.

After serving as the president of UCB, he also continued to implement his ideas to break racial discrimination, and successfully pushed UCB to the throne of the first public university in the United States.
Strength will never bow to any racism.
