Core Viewpoint - The incident involving Dalian Medical University Zhongshan College requesting a graduate to delete a video showcasing her selling ice cream has sparked widespread attention, highlighting the tension between individual expression and institutional reputation [1][2]. Group 1: Institutional Response - The university's request for the video removal was justified by concerns over negative comments in the video's comment section, which promoted the idea that "education is useless" and disparaged higher education [1]. - The school expressed that it does not discriminate against any profession, yet its actions to privately request video deletion created a contradiction that may deepen public distrust [1][2]. - The timing of the incident coincided with critical periods for college admissions, leading the institution to be particularly sensitive to any potentially damaging information [2]. Group 2: Graduate's Situation - The graduate, referred to as Li, is not in a state of "immediate unemployment" as she previously worked in a hospital for two years before choosing to sell ice cream as a transitional means of income while preparing for further examinations [2]. - Li's expression of feeling that she was "bringing shame" to her alma mater was more a reflection of her emotional state rather than a direct accusation against the school [2]. Group 3: Societal Perceptions - The prevalent "education is useless" narrative reflects societal stereotypes and double standards regarding graduates from different tiers of educational institutions [3]. - If a top medical school graduate chose to sell ice cream, it would likely be viewed as a personal choice or life experience, whereas a graduate from a private college would face criticism regarding their abilities or the quality of their education [3]. - The university could have adopted a more constructive approach by engaging with the audience in the comment section to reshape the narrative, rather than opting for video removal [3].
