Impressive and Admirable Things#
The cause of the event was a recent notification:
Notice regarding the completion of the graduate education quality survey:
Graduate students of all grades: The link to the graduate education quality survey of XXX College is as follows:
There are four questionnaires, please fill out the corresponding questionnaire according to your own situation:
Questionnaire A is for all students of the 2022 level (including master's, professional master's, and doctoral students);
When we open this survey, what questions do we see:
Gender, age, household registration, political affiliation
Looking further down: marital status, parents' education level, parents' specific occupations, family's annual income
Looking at the title again, Graduate Education Quality Survey, I was shocked. This turned out to be an announcement sent to the class group.
While I was shocked, I saw that a classmate spoke up, and I admire her for being able to speak out boldly. I might question whether or not to fill out the survey, but I wouldn't say anything.
Do we have to fill this out? Or can we fill it out voluntarily? It seems like the questionnaire is asking for personal information, and I don't really understand the connection between this and graduate education. Thank you.
I have seen similar surveys in the past. I wonder how schools come up with such teaching quality surveys. Are they questions proposed by teachers or the college itself?
Are they trying to collect data for analyzing the correlation between student quality and family background? I'm quite angry when I see this questionnaire.
It reminds me of the privacy questions in Cambly's trial lesson with a foreign teacher. It's the same all over the world, it just depends on the extent.
Half-raised National Flag#
It's the annual memorial day again, and I saw some people reposting mourning pictures on their Moments, but it seems like there aren't as many as before.
The 13th is also the day I return home. On my way home, I passed by Nan Zhongyi and saw a half-raised national flag. Every year on this day, my mood becomes a bit heavy, maybe it's even more deeply felt for those in Nanjing. Plus, I have a friend whose birthday is also on this day, so the impression of this day is even stronger.
On this day, I posted a visible Moment, which surprised some friends and classmates. Now, when they open my profile, it's not blank anymore, and they won't misunderstand that my Moments are not public.
I hope we can face this matter squarely, express our condolences to the people of the past, not just stay on the surface of activities, not just simply count the number of victims and the historical events of that year, not just confront Japan.
Even with more comprehensive data, it's difficult to change our and their thinking on a spiritual level.
peace.
Opening Up#
According to the "needs of the people's daily life," the "unblocking" has begun.
Correspondingly, it means that the issue of social infection has been considered, and it's all good.
I have returned home, and the subsequent days really were locked down for two days on the floor, and then my roommate and classmates in the group, all good.
A simple WeChat notification, without clear information on flow, antigen tests, thermometers, and medication distribution, no private bathroom in the dormitory, still going out of the dormitory door to the public restroom. (It took a long time for medication distribution and antigen allocation to be mentioned later)
You don't know the health conditions of the surrounding dormitories.
After two days, it was unblocked again, and as for the classmates who are all good, they have to take care of themselves.
My classmates and friends are thinking, how can I not affect others if I'm all good? There's no way, they won't consider such things, just take care of yourself.
For young people, they might be able to get through it by enduring a bit, but for people with underlying diseases and the elderly, is it really easy to withstand such a harsh winter? I thought of a video I saw before, where someone wore protective clothing to go home, it would be surprising, and I would be too, but they considered going back to see elderly people, so I fell silent again.
I hope we can all take care of ourselves, take care of our families, pay attention to our physical and mental health.
peace.
I am not someone who loves to follow hot news events. Often, when others mention something or when I see others reposting, I will try to understand a part of it. For most events, I really don't have much interest in understanding them. I don't know their authenticity, and few people pay attention to the follow-up.
Using other hot topics to cover up the real hot topics, being enthusiastic about reporting on the misfortunes of other countries, the recent survey... in my opinion, sometimes the world is magical.
Mr. Lu Xun said, "Those who can do things, do things; those who can speak up, speak up." But the current situation is clearly not one where we can speak up freely, and the information we see is not something we choose ourselves.
