There are three people to be hired in the announcement, all of whom are special associate researchers. Among them, the youngest girl, Li Yuewen, was born in June 2000 and just turned 22 years old!
Goes to college at 14, stays on to teach at 22 with Ph.D.
According to media reports, Li Yuewen is from Fuyang, Anhui Province. He entered elementary school at the age of 4 and skipped the first grade as soon as he entered the school, starting directly from the second grade. After finishing fifth grade, Li Yuewen skipped sixth grade and “upgraded” to become a junior high school student.
After all, she compressed 6 years of primary school homework into 4 years, and graduated from primary school at the age of 8. Later in the middle and high school life, Li Yuewen completed the steps step by step, graduated from high school at the age of 14, and was admitted to Nanjing University, becoming the youngest student in the 2014 class.
Li Yuewen entered everyone’s field of vision for the first time, and it was this year. According to media reports, in 2014, after learning about Li Yuewen’s experience of skipping grades at the registration site of the freshmen, Academician Chen Jun, then president of Nanjing University, said to her happily: NTU’s teaching has the characteristics of the “three-three system”. An undergraduate student completed a four-year undergraduate course in just two years. You are welcome to become a beneficiary of NTU’s “three-three system” teaching model.

Encouraged Li Yuewen responded: I will try my best to adapt to university life first. If I can achieve satisfactory results in all aspects, my university will also consider “level skipping”.
A gentleman’s words are hard to follow. It took her only 8 years to graduate from her undergraduate degree to her Ph.D. This year, after graduating with a Ph.D., he successfully stayed at the school to teach.

The criticism behind youthful fame
The so-called popular people are right and wrong, and Li Yuewen, who became popular unexpectedly, was inevitably observed under the microscope by netizens.
It is said that it is difficult to obtain an organization in colleges and universities nowadays. In the eyes of many people, “specially appointed associate researcher” is only a senior postdoctoral fellow, and also faces the risk of being promoted or leaving. Nanjing University The “special appointment” series is a 3-year employment period, which is a professional and technical position mainly based on scientific research.

At the same time, some netizens found out about Li’s published papers and questioned her scientific research level. The search shows that she has a total of 8 SCI papers, 3 of which are one. Most of the journals published by these papers are in the third or fourth region, and the impact factor is not high.
One of the best published articles, included in CrystEngComm at IF 3.756.
Li Yuewen, who majors in electronic engineering, mostly has papers related to “inorganic semiconductor materials”. After reading her thesis, netizens were not calm, and bluntly said that such achievements are not excellent in a master’s degree.

In response to the question of “incompatibility of morality” questioned by netizens, by consulting the “Administrative Measures for the Employment of Research Series Posts of Nanjing University”, it is true that the “special appointment” series and postdoctoral fellows have the same treatment and requirements. It’s not bad, no matter how much Li’s paper is said by netizens, it also meets the employment conditions.

It’s hard not to be envious of an age advantage in a world where the 35-year-old red line is everywhere. Younger age does mean more opportunity for trial and error. Although Li Yuewen does not have a relatively good representative work yet, I believe it is only a matter of time.”Associate Researcher” position, the real assessment has just begun.
