Character evaluation

For more than ten years, Professor Wang Dingding has been thinking about economic development and moral reconstruction. The former concerns the improvement of people's living standards in the short term, while the latter concerns the harmonious development of society in the long term.

Wang Dingding guides us to reflect on the research methods of social science and examine the problems from different angles. Since Snow put forward the theory of "two cultures" in the 1950s, many scholars have tried to take a "Third Road" integrating "science" and "humanities". Wang Dingding, with such ambition, began to study brain science, social psychology and social phenomenology.

Yu Shicun: I think of Wang Dingding many times. The saying of "who in the world doesn't know the king" in the Tang Dynasty always came into being, and the phenomenon of "my friend Hu Shizhi" in the May 4th Movement was similar to Wang Dingding.

People's point of view

He once commented on Chinese education like this: "the crux of the failure of Chinese education is hypocrisy on the surface. Hypocrisy is the product of a centralized society, because in a democratic society, truth is the first, and everyone has the right to tell the truth. Hypocrisy is the easiest to develop under centralization of power. As Hayek said, in the process of reverse elimination, the higher the rank, the more hypocritical the official is. Then he also split his personality - suicides and those who go to prison. This is the crux of Chinese education. "

After the proposal of the fuel tax reform plan in 2008, ten professors, including Wang Dingding, wrote a letter to Premier Wen, believing that the fuel tax rate proposed in the plan was too low. They suggested that the fuel tax rate should be greatly increased from the perspective of energy conservation and emission reduction, with 3-4 yuan per litre being the most appropriate.

On October 6, 2013, Wang Dingding wrote in his blog that the annual loss of long holidays is conservatively estimated to be about 200 billion yuan. There are two long holidays every year. The inefficiency and mental adjustment before and after the holidays are about 10 full working days lost every year. Long holiday tourism is mainly for young people, of which the labor force is about 200 million person days. The country lost 2 billion people and days. According to the data of urban per capita output value in 2012, the labor productivity is 100 yuan per day, that is, 200 billion yuan. If we ask about the upper limit of loss, it can reach 2 trillion yuan, mainly due to the low-quality investment and excess loss of infrastructure and tourist attractions, the reduction of consumption quality, environmental pollution and other costs. With the aging of the population and the rapid growth of labor wages, the "opportunity cost" of long holidays has increased rapidly. Therefore, he proposed to further cancel the statutory long holidays of more than three days and strive for the popularization of flexible leave system after two years.

In the eastern society like China, bureaucracy is most likely to combine with private will, so it is most likely to evolve into the cover of public will. In view of this, Fei Zhengqing predicted in 1949 that it was nothing else that would crush the regime in the future, it was the bureaucratic burden that would last for thousands of years.
