The event at the Polytechnic University is worrying. Fortunately, different influential people have worked together to make the crisis gradually ease. All walks of people involved and mediation, doing their best to prevent the situation from turning bad, won the appreciation of the community. In contrast, the performance of PolyU President Tse Jin-kwong is obviously disappointing. It seems that he does not assume the responsibility of a school's chief, and it is the same as the workmanship that will solve the campus crisis. In principle, university presidents should make good use of their influence to avoid conflicts and assist in the peaceful resolution of incidents.

Campus crisis frequent schools are duty-bound

In mid-November, demonstrators launched the "Big Three" campaign, and many universities have become the eye of conflict. After the conflict between China and the United States last week, many demonstrators gradually moved to the "battlefield" of PolyU. After the police set up the encirclement network on the weekend, there was a fierce conflict in the campus of PolyU. The two sides fell into a serious confrontation. The conflict of PolyU has developed to the point where it is difficult to clean up. Principal Teng Jinguang is hard to blame. After all, the university has become a precedent for conflict scenes, and university executives should take early measures to prevent them. In particular, the "offensive and defensive war" of Zhongda University came to an end. Many demonstrators moved to other schools, and the University of Science and Technology should be vigilant, such as taking drastic measures to prevent demonstrators from entering the campus. If PolyU executives can take decisive precautions in a timely manner, or permit to avoid unnecessary conflicts to a certain extent.

There have been many fierce conflicts in the campus of PolyU in the past few days.

The conflict in PolyU has been extremely tense in the past few days. The police decided to round up the militants on the campus and even indicated that they had the opportunity to use live ammunition. Many people in the siege expressed their determination to stay defensively and would not hesitate to fight with the police. When the campus is in a state of arrogance, students and even the society are concerned about "where the principal has gone", hoping that they can show up as soon as possible to help mediate the conflict. However, the president of PolyU, Teng Jinguang, has not seen it.

What's more, the police decided to wipe out the radical demonstrators and isolate the left-behind guards from contact with the outside world. The left-behind people not only have the opportunity to face shortage of materials, but also the injured have not been properly treated. There is no need for third parties to intervene to prevent humanitarian crisis. As the head of the Polytechnic University, if the principal does not help to lobby students or coordinate police actions, it is inevitable to disappoint.

The risk of PolyU’s affairs has long been a concern of the community. On Sunday (17th), netizens called on demonstrators to go to support. Many people shouted "seeking people" and hoped to find Principal Teng Jinguang to go to PolyU to help the tragedy. Unfortunately, it was not until 5 am the next day that Teng Kam Kwong made a speech to the media for the first time through public relations. He said that he had been coordinating with the police since Sunday afternoon and was promised by the police to suspend the offensive to allow the school to peacefully leave and surrender, but he has never Have to go to the scene to learn or lobby for left-behind students.

Violent demonstrators who break the law should of course bear the consequences. However, the anxiety of the PolyU incident is that it may cause serious conflicts and even bloodshed. Since things happen in PolyU, Teng Jinguang, the head of a school, absolutely has the responsibility to avoid conflicts and strive for the event to end peacefully. The conflict scene is tense, and the left-behind people's emotions are even more unstable, even desperate. They absolutely need to be influential and allow students to rely on them to give them hope. Therefore, the society expects Teng Jinguang to explain the situation to the left-behind and to appease the students' emotions. It is also a matter of nature that the president of the University of China, Duan Qizhi, and the former principal, Shen Zuyu, and Teng Jinguang, are also natural. Duan and Shen have personally visited Zhongda University to communicate with the students who stayed behind.

Taking care of the student safety officer

Teng Jinguang explained that he was interested in attending the exchange with the students. However, because the police pointed out that the scene was dangerous, he changed to record the footage. However, medical personnel, former Chairman of the Legislative Council Zeng Yucheng and legal scholar Zhang Daming were present at the scene. After coordinating with the police, they entered the campus to understand the needs of students and persuaded them to leave peacefully, indicating that the social elite exerted influence in times of crisis, not as imaginary. Row. Being present and comforting the left-behind can both ease the confrontation and possibly bring the event to a peaceful end. As a young teacher, you should understand how they should take responsibility.

Teng Jinguang said that he has been closely coordinating with the police. These tasks are important and even necessary. Even if the school and the police have an agreement, the students need a trustworthy person who can accompany them safely out of the campus. However, among the people who escorted the left-behind students that night, Teng Jinguang, who is the president of PolyU, is not in it. How can he not disappoint the masters?

The political atmosphere envelopes the campus, and the university president must be wise. On the one hand, they should know how to adapt, deal with the crisis, avoid the school becoming a place of conflict, protect the safety of teachers and students in the school, and protect the next generation with the responsibility of their teachers and even adults. On the other hand, all teachers should be more self-reflecting. Why are young people gradually radical? Does the teacher care about our next generation, listen to their voices, and properly teach them to express their demands in a legal and appropriate manner? When a young person is injured, bleeding, or even arrested, and an adult is required to accompany the police station, if the teacher is present, this is not a late arrival, what is it?

PolyU's crisis is flexible to witness the power of reason

The resumption of teachers in primary and secondary schools on Wednesday is a long way to go.

The responsibility of the university president cannot be shirked
