Repost: The Seven-Year Itch

I rarely repost anything. In seven or eight years of blogging, I’ve only reposted one article before. Today, while browsing online, I came across a post by a fellow Tongji colleague and felt a deep resonance. So I’m reposting it.

Same school, same engineering background. To borrow a phrase I learned today: engineers have the advantage of being down-to-earth, and the disadvantage of being too down-to-earth. This guy exemplifies it perfectly.

No matter what seed you plant in this soil, it can only produce this kind of flower and this kind of fruit. That’s the system.

Watch how a returned overseas scholar, originally untainted by the system, is一步步被”逼良为娼” (step by step forced into prostitution).

And now, please enjoy————————
