Professor Sun Dongdong of Beijing University

Professor Sun Dongdong is the Director of Forensics in Beijing University. In an article published in the Chinese News Week (3/23/2009), Sun stated that over 99% appellants who who complain mistreated by government are mentally insane, and they should be locked up in mental facilities for their own benefit. In real world China, many political dissidents had been locked in mental facilities to bypass media attention of a regular trail.

In an early unrelated interview taken at Sina.com after the outbreak of Poisoned Sunlu Mike incident, Sun blamed the media for breaking up the story, and opposed to compensating victims. He was interviewed because he was named to be on the national investigation task force.

Why do I start this topic?

Last month, the closing of many Chinese campus BBS (Internet based bulletin board system) shocked the college students across China, as well as all recent graduates who have seen those as their online homes. People has been trying everything to persuade the authority to reopen the BBSs. These BBS systems are the vital, and in many cases the only, connection between a Chinese student and the outside real world. I am shocked and angry. We do not know particularly who is responsible for this. But we will hold all of those shamelessness accountable. One of them is professor Li Xiguang of Qinghua University.

Intellectuals has been the spine upholding Chinese culture for thousands of years. Unfortunately, from time to time, we see some bad apples. These bad apples need to be picked out.

We don't have resources to get every corrupt professors in China, but we will make our best efforts to get those who make most damages.

To single out the worst, we skipped a lot bad ones. For an example on the Sina-Japan relationship, independent scholar Mao Yushi publicly denounced current anti-Japan movement and professor Liang Yuanxiang of PKU advocated for the security council seat for Japan. Both of them are shame of Chinese intellectuals. However Mao is a decent scholar with independent mind. Although I personally felt offended by his words, he did not belong to this list. On the other hand, Liang was little known to the extend it seems he created the incident to collect publicity. We will not reward him with a spot in this Hall of Shame.

An interesting and rather puzzling observation are that two groups of people suffered the most under the communists regime: the farmers and the intellectuals. However, so far the farmers has been seen as a solid ruling foundation of the regime, thanks to the excellent job of the intellectuals who tried their best to fool the people. Those 'intellectuals' who have been sleeping in bed with the communists party are in the least carrying the same guilt.

Readers may notice that many featured rotten intellectuals are of Beijing University and Qinghua University. The two schools gathered the most established and influential professors in China. Having most entries in this Hall was a shame for both, but nonetheless, they are still the two best universities in China.
