The dean of the research institute was reported to have used scientific research results to "package" his son    The


  client responded: my son's progress in higher education has nothing to do with science and technology

  In 2015, 13-year-old Liu Mouyang, a junior one student of Hefei No. 50 Middle School, won multiple provincial and national awards for his invention of the "portable rapid identification and detection device for smog polluted gas".

The name, working principle, and appearance of the invention are highly similar to a 2012 scientific research result of Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institute of Material Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At that time, Liu Jianguo served as the deputy director of the institute and was also the main contributor of the project to which the scientific research results belong.

  Three years later, Liu Mouyang, a high school student studying in Hefei No. 168 Middle School, once again won multiple awards and a patent for his invention of the "Drunk Driving Safety Laser Rapid Screening System".

The invention is also highly similar to the principle of the national patent "Laser Drunk Driving Roadside Online Monitoring System" applied by Liu Jianguo in 2011.

  According to the reporter's understanding, Liu Mouyang is the son of Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo, who is currently the dean of the Hefei Institute of Material Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was therefore questioned-using his and his team's scientific research results to "package" his son to help him win the prize, which in turn would help his child to enter a higher education.

  On the morning of October 27, the Hefei Institute of Material Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a statement on its official website stating that the institute has organized personnel to investigate the matter and will follow-up on the investigation results to the society in a timely manner.

  On the evening of the 27th, Liu Jianguo responded briefly to a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily: “What I can tell you is that my son’s high school entrance examination and college entrance examination have nothing to do with science and technology innovation. ."

Does the invention of junior high school students reach the "international advanced level"?

  In 2015, Liu Mouyang, who invented a portable smog detection device, stood out in the 30th Hefei Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. In the same year, he won the first prize of the Anhui Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. Third prize and 2016, the 8th Youth Science and Technology Innovation District Mayor Award in Shushan District, Hefei City.

  According to the official website of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, Liu Mouyang’s invention is called "Portable Haze Pollution Gas Rapid Identification and Detection Device". This device uses the "fingerprint" absorption spectrum characteristics of atmospheric pollution gas on ultraviolet and visible light to quickly identify and quantify it. The detection of more than 10 kinds of pollutant gas components such as sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere provides a basis for inspecting the emissions of polluting enterprises and diagnosing the source of air pollution.

  In the media report on Liu Mouyang at that time, his invention was called "portable multi-component gas ultraviolet field analyzer". It has a rectangular iron shell, 20 cm long and 50 cm wide, and has two handles on it. The total weight is about 10 pounds.

According to the report, this very inconspicuous white box mainly uses optical principles and is composed of industrial control computers, light absorption cells, spectrometers, power supplies and other equipment. It can effectively monitor the PM2.5 value in the space where it is located, and it can be monitored at one time. More than a dozen pollutants can be carried around.

  Liu Mouyang told the media at the time that he wanted to invent such an instrument because "I used to wake up in the morning and sometimes saw the sky being foggy. I wondered if I could invent a device that could be monitored at home. smog".

To this end, he began to learn about optics under the guidance of the school teacher, and asked people for advice. It took him more than a year to experiment successfully.

  However, a report received by the reporter pointed out that Liu Mouyang’s invention is actually the same as the scientific research results released in 2012 by the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institute of Material Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  According to the official website of the Hefei Institute of Material Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the “portable multi-component gas ultraviolet field analyzer” is a key project in the resource and environmental technology field of the national “863 plan” undertaken by the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics. One of the “monitoring equipment” uses a combination of differential absorption spectroscopy technology, ultraviolet multiple reflection pool technology and fiber optic spectrometer technology to achieve rapid on-site monitoring of a variety of toxic and harmful gases.

  The “portable multi-component gas ultraviolet field analyzer” released by the research institute’s official website has almost the same appearance as Liu Mouyang’s invented device-the text and fonts printed on the two devices are the same, except that the equipment of the Anguang Institute has the same appearance. The location with the words "Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences" was blocked by a black strip on Liu Mouyang's equipment.

  A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily noted that the first person who completed the project of the "Portable Multi-component Gas Ultraviolet Field Analyzer" of the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics was the then deputy director Liu Jianguo.

According to the 2012 appraisal by the Department of Science and Technology of Anhui Province, the portable multi-component gas ultraviolet field analyzer "filled the gap in the corresponding domestic technology, and the overall performance reached the international advanced level."

  The whistleblower questioned that taking the internationally advanced achievements to participate in the junior high school student science and technology innovation competition is naturally "killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."

Instructor: We guide the form to fill in such high-tech things, I may not understand

  The National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Contest is a nationwide youth science and technology competition, and it is also the largest and highest level youth science and technology education activity for primary and middle school students in China.

  Hefei Fifty Middle School’s introduction to Liu Mouyang’s award in 2015 mentioned that the award-winning students were selected with the help of teachers and “focused on hot issues in society”.

  On the afternoon of October 27th, Liu Mouyang, the instructor who participated in the 30th National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and the physics teacher of Hefei No. 50 Middle School (a pseudonym), told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily reporter: "To this child For the competition, we followed the procedure completely, and we reported the children's materials to Shushan District, and the district to Hefei City. I am not his head teacher, and I may not even know what his parents are doing."

  "At that time, the smog was serious. I think his creativity was very good." Yi Jing recalled, "The school said that this work could be pushed into the district. As a junior high school physics teacher, I might not understand such high-tech things."

  Yi Jing also explained that Liu Mouyang was also learning some optical knowledge at the time. He once told the teacher, "There is also a teacher from the University of Science and Technology of China who is helping."

She thought at the time: "If it is all dependent on the child's own ability, it may be difficult, but is it possible to achieve it with the guidance of the instructor? I will support the child in doing things."

  However, the rules of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition of the year clearly required that the "creative contribution" in the design must be conceived and completed by the author himself.

The main argument must be the author personally obtained through observation, investigation, experiment and other research methods, the invented object or the produced model, the author himself must participate in the actual operation within his capacity.

  The latest version of the competition rules more clearly states that "the work has academic misconduct such as plagiarism, adult work, or infringement of the intellectual property rights of others, and no declaration is accepted." "The content completed with the assistance of the instructor or others must be clearly stated. The instructor has a relative relationship with the participating students and should be truthfully filled in when applying."

  On October 27, the staff of the organizing committee of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition responded that the organizing committee has learned about the matter and has initiated an investigation. If the investigation is true, it will be handled in accordance with the rules of the competition.

  According to the “2017 Hefei No. 1 Middle School, No. 6 Middle School, and No. 8 Specialty Student Admissions Professional Appraisal Qualified List” announced by the Hefei Education Examination Institute, in 2017, Liu Mouyang won the third prize of the 30th National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. Have obtained the qualifications of science and technology specialty students of the above three middle schools.

  However, a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily found that Liu Mouyang achieved a score of 750 or more in a high school entrance examination report of Hefei No. class".

When he took the high school entrance examination, the total score of Hefei high school entrance examination was 815 points.

The high school award-winning universities responded: their admission did not enjoy bonus points or care policy

  In 2018, Liu Mouyang, who was studying in the first grade of Hefei No. 168 Middle School, invented the "Drunk Driving Safety Laser Rapid Screening System" and won the third prize of the 33rd National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, 2018 The first prize of the Anhui Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition in the year, the 16th Hefei City Youth Science and Technology Innovation Mayor Award and other honors.

  According to the official website of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, the invention mainly uses the characteristic "fingerprint" absorption spectrum of the ethanol volatile gas. It uses a laser to directly pass through the carriage and analyzes the change in the light intensity of the signal received by the detector to determine whether there is ethanol gas. And calculate its concentration value.

And in the "patent library" of the Hefei Institute of Material Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is also a patent called "Laser Drunk Driving On-line Detection System", and Liu Jianguo is among the inventors.

  In 2018, Liu Mouyang applied for a national patent "a new type of demonstration and verification system for the spectral absorption characteristics of alcohol".

The introduction of the patent published by the State Intellectual Property Office stated: “The patent mainly uses the characteristic “fingerprint” absorption spectrum of the volatilized alcohol (ethanol) gas. The laser is used to pass through the carriage directly, and it is determined by analyzing the change in the light intensity of the signal received by the detector. Whether there is ethanol gas and calculate its concentration value, and use two absorption spectrum lines 1.39um and 3.35um to invert the absorption characteristics of alcohol vapor."

  The national patent "Laser Drunk Driving Side Online Monitoring System" applied by Liu Jianguo in 2011 also introduced: "The present invention uses the characteristic of a relatively obvious absorption peak of alcohol in the near-infrared 1.392um over-frequency absorption band to retrieve alcohol. Concentration (that is, the characteristic'fingerprint' absorption spectrum)."

  The whistleblower, who did not want to be named, pointed out that the comparison found that the two patents have in common that they use infrared laser as the light source, use the same 1.39um spectrum, use the laser to directly pass through the carriage for online monitoring, and receive the signal through the analysis detector. The change of light intensity discriminates whether there is ethanol gas and calculates its concentration value.

  On October 26, Liu Mouyang’s high school teacher said in an interview with the media that Liu Mouyang’s and his father’s patents were “normal” and belonged to “big hands holding small hands”. Liu Mouyang did obtain the patent during the invention process. With the guidance and help of his father.

  A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily asked how much Liu Mouyang participated in these science and technology innovation events. Liu Jianguo replied: "The original intention of the Association for Science and Technology is to popularize science and cultivate young people's interest in science. Other functions are added by others. The Science Innovation Competition has its own process, and whether to participate and contribute is a question that the judges should master during the review and debate stage."

  In 2020, Liu Mouyang was admitted to the "Strong Foundation Plan" of a key construction university of the "985 Project".

Is his admission related to previous awards?

In this regard, on the evening of October 27, the university introduced to the China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that Liu Mouyang’s registration qualifications and shortlisting qualifications have nothing to do with the award, and he entered the school’s "Strong Foundation Plan" by virtue of his college entrance examination results. Did not enjoy bonus points or care policies.

The awards he has won are not among the extra points.

  Liu Jianguo denied to reporters that the results of his son's higher education were related to the results of these competitions.

So, did Liu Jianguo ever use the scientific research achievements he participated in to "package" his son to help his children participate in competitions in middle school?

The reporter asked Liu Jianguo for verification, but he did not reply.
