It’s the weekend, students, bring your stools and eat melons!
This time, the big melon is still the universities and professors who have been frequently involved in incidents recently.
Yesterday, a Weibo account with the profile “Xue Wei, Professor of the Central Conservatory of Music” posted a message, publicly offering a reward to collect illegal clues about Tong, the director of the Department of Strings of the same school.
The report says that it is to purify the music education system, seek a fair and just educational environment for students, and prevent teachers and students of music schools across the country from fearing the forces of evil! Based on the strong evidence we have already obtained, we encourage more victims to actively report Tong Weidong’s illegal acts and jointly expose and punish the forces of evil!
Today, Xue Wei’s Weibo officially announced its operation to provide a platform for all victims who have suffered infringement of their legitimate rights and interests by Tong Weidong, the director of the Department of Strings of the Central Conservatory of Music, to appeal and report, and to recover stolen money, etc.
Whistleblowers can contact my team through this platform in a public or private message. Once the content of the victim’s report is confirmed, my team will provide the complainant with a reward of RMB 50,000 to 500,000 yuan, and at the same time provide assistance to the victim in appealing, accusing, compensating, and pursuing all legal responsibilities.
We will protect the privacy of the victims and safeguard their rights and interests.
The information we need includes but is not limited to the following aspects:
1. Lifestyle, extramarital affairs, keeping mistresses, etc.
2. Long-term prostitution (reward objects include sex workers, etc.)
3. Accepting bribes, taking bribes, and soliciting bribes (including during his tenure at the Affiliated Middle School of the Central Conservatory of Music, etc.)
4. Buying and selling positions at the Central Conservatory of Music and other schools, etc.
Regarding Xue Wei’s public reward for Tong Weidong’s illegal clues, the Discipline Inspection Office of the Central Conservatory of Music responded to The Paper News:
The school attaches great importance to it and is verifying it.
According to the information, Tong Weidong, who was reported, is a violin professor, doctoral supervisor, and director of the Department of Strings at the Central Conservatory of Music.
At the same time, he is also a member of the Academic Committee of the Central Conservatory of Music and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of the Central Conservatory of Music. He is the Executive Vice President of the String Society of the Chinese Musicians Association and a director of the Chamber Music Society of the Chinese Musicians Association.
Xue Wei, born in Kaifeng, Henan, is a world-renowned violinist. In March 2005, Xue Wei officially became a full-time professor at the Central Conservatory of Music.
According to Baidu Encyclopedia, Xue Wei won the silver medal in the Tchaikovsky Violin Competition, the gold medal in the Carl Flesch International Violin Competition, and won all other awards, creating the highest and most awards for Chinese people in world music competitions in history.
It is worth mentioning that Xue Wei and Tong Weidong are actually fellow students. Relevant information shows that they both studied under Lin Yaoji.
Lin Yaoji is a famous violin professor at the Central Conservatory of Music and a world-renowned outstanding music educator. From 1954 to 1960, he studied violin with Ma Sicong at the Central Conservatory of Music.
He graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in 1960 and later went to the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory in the Soviet Union to study, studying violin with violinist Yankelevich, specializing in violin performance and teaching methods.
From the same school, why did they fall out and report each other in anger? There is currently no authoritative news about the inside story.
A search revealed that there was a post by a Tieba netizen about the person being reported, Tong Weidong.
Many netizens responded with messages. Judging from the messages, there are both praise and criticism.
An interview entitled “Interview with Violin Educator Tong Weidong” published on January 26, 2015, wrote:
It was under the inspiration of Lin Yaoji and other older generation violin educators that Tong Weidong worked in the violin teaching position for more than 20 years…
The article also wrote:
Tong Weidong had long admired Professor Lin Yaoji. After returning from studying in Germany, he felt that as a teacher, he still had a lot to learn, so he went back to school again and, as a student and assistant of Professor Lin Yaoji, stayed by his side.
From this master, Tong Weidong felt the most deeply his love, persistence, and dedication to the cause of Chinese violin education.
At that time, Tong Weidong said: “Professor Lin’s influence on me is mainly in terms of personality and teaching. Professor Lin has a very good cultivation, is friendly, and is indifferent to fame and fortune. His teaching methods are lively, vivid, and easy to understand. He puts all his energy into his students, accompanies them to practice the piano every day, and studies together…” Speaking of his mentor, Professor Lin Yaoji, who had passed away five years ago, Tong Weidong was still full of admiration.
“For me, the best way to commemorate Professor Lin is to inherit his mantle and do the job of a violin teacher in a down-to-earth manner.”
