last year12moon13On January 1, 2011, Pudong Development Bank announced that the board of directors nominated Zhang Weiying as an independent director. However, Zhang Weiying is by no means just an economist, and his official status as assistant to the president of Peking University is out of step with the recent mainstream of university leaders resigning from their positions as independent directors of listed companies, which can be described as "rising to the wind".

    Zhang Weiying, "Open your mouth without fear."

　　As an economist who grew up after the reform and opening up, Zhang Weiying became famous early on and has always been known for his relentless advocacy of the market economy. This year, his book The Logic of the Market has become popular. He suggests that after the financial crisis, misunderstanding and mistrust of the market economy have begun to spread in society again, and that if this misunderstanding and mistrust evolves into more anti-market policies, China's economic development will face a very big risk, which is more serious than the consequences of environmental damage. "At this point, economists are needed to stand up, clarify and defend the market economy."

　　Born in Shaanxi to a peasant family, Zhang Weiying has a straightforward character, but his open-mindedness, coupled with misunderstandings and misinterpretations in the layers of dissemination, has put him at the center of public opinion many times, and he has been regarded as "one of the most controversial economists".

as early as1983In 2007, Zhang Weiying published an article entitled "Doing justice to money" in China Youth Daily, in which he made the astonishing remark that "if you can make more money, it means that you are contributing more to society". After the publication of the article, Zhang Weiying was immediately caught up in a major criticism. In recent years, Zhang Weiying has proposed that "officials are the most damaged interest group in the reform", "poor people can't afford to go to school because the tuition fee is too low", and "monopolized state-owned enterprises are a kind of rent-seeking", all of which have aroused great controversy. These views have caused great controversy. Together with the incident of "Zou Hengfu's dismissal", Zhang Weiying has been surrounded by constant news.

1997In 2007, Zhang Weiying, who had returned to China within a few years after graduating from Oxford University with a PhD, was internally transferred to Guanghua School of Management and began his ten-year "Guanghua career". The following year, Zhang assisted President Li Yining, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), in his day-to-day work.

2002In 2007, Zhang Weiying was appointed assistant to the president of Peking University. During that time, as the head of the "Peking University Faculty and Personnel System Reform Working Group", Zhang Weiying introduced the sensational "Yanyuan Changes". At the end of the year, Zhang Weiying received the lowest number of votes in the general election of the Party Committee.

Zhang Weiying, who later published The Logic of the University, insisted on his philosophy of reform, saying, "Never speak of reform lightly without thorough consideration!"

In the middle of this year, a shell of "academic degree falsification" was aimed at Zhang Weiying, so Zhang Weiying had to publish "Zhang Weiying Statement" in his blog, responding to the "falsification claims" one by one. He wrote: "I hereby solemnly declare that: from each stage of their own resume, all of its text is correct and can withstand any way of checking." "The outside world often misinterprets and exaggerates Dean Zhang's remarks, which is unfair to him." A Peking University Guanghua student told reporters.

colleague9In terms of the impression of the year, Lu Zhengfei believes that Zhang Weiying's greatest strength is "strong sense of enterprise". He and Zhang Weiying's office next to each other, he felt that Zhang Weiying "too involved", "busy all day", "work very hard".

Many interviewees said that Zhang Weiying gave them the impression that he was a very upwardly mobile person.

 "Weiying's downfall is that he has too much personality. He is very smart and thoughtful, and thoughtful people are prone to stubbornness once they see something." Lu Zhengfei said, "After he became the dean, the edges are rather less than when he was not the dean. Not so much dwelling on small things." Zhang Weiying is often exhausted about the many affairs of the Guanghua School of Management. "Too much weight is placed on many things, and one should slowly and appropriately grasp the big and let go of the small."

A professor at the Guanghua School of Management, who asked not to be named, said Zhang Weiying's strengths and weaknesses were distinct. "He has a strong personality, is bold and has made a great contribution to bringing in talent." According to the professor, Zhang is still a good economist, but he has problems with the art of leadership. According to his understanding, the open letter mentioned in the originalMBAWang, the project director, left Guanghua because of a philosophical disagreement with Zhang, "without any personal grudge."

Termination of office is a normal staffing adjustment

Yesterday, the reporter called the Guanghua School of Management Office, the staff confirmed to the reporter that the College has been posted last week, "on the Guanghua School of Management, the new administrative leadership team to be candidates for publicity," the former vice president of the proposed Cai Hongbin to serve as dean of the publicity period for this month.6solstice12Day. "This is a normal personnel adjustment at Peking University, with Zhang Weiying stepped down together with two vice presidents, which has nothing to do with the rumors on the Internet a few months ago that Professor Zhang Weiying's academic credentials falsification." The staff member told reporters that Prof. Zhang Weiying was appointed on2006surname Nian9served in January, and now the term has ended. The staff member said he was unaware of any previous reelection of a dean. He said that Zhang Weiying will continue to teach at Guanghua School of Management and hold the position of assistant president.
