In the past, the main task of universities was teaching rather than scientific research, and the state funds were mainly allocated according to the number of teachers. Due to the relatively balanced economic development in various regions of the country, the gap between the rich and the poor among universities is not large. The only difference is the salary of teachers-the east is not higher than the west, but the opposite. In the era of planned economy, the national policy is actually tilted to the west. The same university teacher, the salary received in the western region is about one-third higher than that in the eastern region. At that time, it played a great role in attracting talents and stabilizing the morale of Lanzhou University. But in 1986, this policy was cancelled. Originally, the conditions in the western region were inferior to those in the eastern region. When the regional wage gap was abolished, the attraction of western universities to talents disappeared. Since then, Lanzhou University has started a continuous large-scale brain drain. From 1984 to 1985, the number of teachers in Lanzhou University decreased by 255, and the number of teachers fell to the bottom, mainly due to the brain drain to coastal and eastern universities and other units. Among them, these people include famous masters and academic leaders Once they leave, the dominant disciplines of Lanzhou University will no longer have advantages. Some projects are not funded like some universities in the east.
Next, talk about the advantages of Lanzhou. Lanzhou is the capital city of Gansu Province, one of the five central cities of the China section of the New Eurasian Continental Bridge, and the fifth national new district in China-Lanzhou New District. Lanzhou is a city with a long history and an important town on the ancient Silk Road. Lanzhou has many historical sites, such as Baita Mountain Park, Xinglong Mountain and Gansu Museum. Lanzhou is a distinctive city, where you can feel the happiness brought by this city. Lanzhou ranks fifth among the top ten happiest provincial capital cities in the 20 15 CCTV Survey of China's Economic Life. There are currently 30 universities in Lanzhou, including undergraduate 17 and junior 13. Now that the country has implemented the "One Belt, One Road" strategy, I wonder if it can boost the economy of the western region. If there are obvious effects, Lanzhou University is expected to regain its glory.
If your hometown is not far from the west or Lanzhou, then the living customs will not be too bad. It is a good choice to develop in your hometown. If a classmate whose hometown is in the east or the middle of China is admitted to this school, and you have found a good job in Lanzhou in the undergraduate stage, then why do you have to lead an unstable life in Beishangguang? When you do well in the postgraduate stage, it is also a good choice to stay as a teacher, because it is actually a 985 engineering school with many advantages. Can win many scientific research projects. In a word, if you want to have a stable life, the capital cities in the west can definitely meet your needs. If you want to achieve something, it's certainly good to go to Beishangguang.
