RIP Prof. Yan. I've known Yan for a decade, starting when I was a physics undergrad. He wasn't just a mentor but also a great friend. Yan had this incredible mix of being super smart yet incredibly down-to-earth. He was always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh with colleagues and friends. His sudden and tragic passing, as reported in the news, hit me hard, and I know many of his PhD colleagues felt the same way. My first encounter with Dr. Yan was when I applied for a summer research internship during my undergraduate years, in the same lab where he worked as a postdoc. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it due to other commitments, but Yan and I stayed in touch. He turned out to be an awesome mentor, patient, and always optimistic. I remember back then; he was working on exciting projects and was eager to involve graduate and undergraduate students. He believed in giving everyone a chance to contribute to research and get their names on published papers. He genuinely cared about nurturing academic careers. One incident from 2014 stands out. I was part of a committee searching for new faculty members in the physics department. One candidate's presentation had figures that looked remarkably like those in Yan's papers. When I casually asked him if he worked on this research, he just shrugged it off, emphasizing the collaborative nature of research. Yan was not just an academic; he was known for his kindness. He'd invite friends over for meals, cooking up delicious dishes. And if you worked on research with him, you'd get the credit you deserved. It's disheartening to see negative comments online suggesting he mistreated students, especially considering my own experiences. It pains me to see these accusations. For those who've seen the killer's tweets, it's clear the student was struggling with mental health issues. Yan had even reached out to his advisor about it, showing how much he cared about his students. He was one of the best mentors I've ever had the privilege to know. The killer's Twitter is packed with broken English, yet he authored two high-impact journal papers in his first year, with Dr. Yan congratulating him on the group website and school news media. It's evident that Dr. Yan supported the student tremendously in getting these papers published in top-tier journals. Having published in one of those journals during my own graduate studies, I understand the tremendous collaborative effort needed to achieve such results. In 2016, during my second quarter of my Ph.D., when I felt lost, I reached out to Yan for advice. Despite his busy schedule as an assistant professor, he replied to my email and even had a phone call with me. I felt much better after that conversation and gained a more positive outlook on my research journey. Yan's journey was truly inspiring. He achieved tenure at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, becoming a prolific researcher. It's a tragedy that could have been prevented if his concerns had been taken more seriously by the department and the school. He genuinely cared about his students, in stark contrast to some professors who seem to take advantage. Now, Yan's elderly parents, who are farmers in a small village in China, are facing the unimaginable loss of their only son, a bright star in multiple fields benefiting humanity. Dr. Yan worked incredibly hard to achieve tenure at a top-notch research university, and he was known for his persistence and positivity. Those who knew him will always remember his warm smiles. While there isn't an official GoFundMe link for his parents yet, I sincerely hope that if the opportunity arises, kind-hearted people will contribute to provide support to his elderly parents during this incredibly tough time.
Well I hope the killer gets all the help he needs when he’s convicted and placed in a prison cell with Big Bubba. Physics will be the least of his concerns.
Maggie thank you for sharing this about Dr. Yan. Very touching and shows your kindness as well. I hope everything comes to light and his family can get some answers.
Dearest Yvette; I read your story and I’m floored. You are the same age as my son. I feel devastated. Here you are offering your condolences. My prayers are with you!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can’t imagine someone killing any of my professors. I’ve been out of college for nearly ten years and still think of them so fondly and stay in touch with many of them. 😔💔
Those victim blaming comments are really disappointing. From what I read the suspect is a second year phd student. How could he be held back from graduating when he was just starting his program? Too much assuming and projecting. Too many "mights”. Why come so quickly to think of possible reasons for the suspect? People are reacting like those who accuse female murder/violence victims of cheating, just because the commentors themselves have been cheated on in the past. After more information and thorough investigation, it’s ok to reflect on the academic system and any wrongdoings by the PI only if he had done any. Right now it’s definitely not the time to automatically blame the victim by assuming things that have zero evidence. Even the twitter posts getting quoted repeatedly by media don’t say the PI was doing/causing the bullying. It seems more like the suspect goes to the PI for mediating between two parties. However most comments seem to immediately associate the bullying with the PI. Failing to sort things out between two groups of students doesn't make one person worth of being killed. News just says a co-authored paper by the victim and suspect was just published last month. I did some search and saw the suspect is the first author. I’d say being able to publish in your second year of PhD is actually pretty good and not an indicator of a bad PI.
Take a man’s life over academics? Wtf! I hope UNC honours his name in some fashion. He seemed brilliant. Condolences to his family. RIP Professor Yan🕊️
No gun, no motive. Maybe an opportunity. They simply charged some guy who doesn't speak English. Who has a gun and a motive... United States, 2nd Amendment... North Carolina... racism... that's like 90% of the population in North Carolina. Who actually have a motive and a gun. That is more than you have on the guy they charged with shooting the teacher. Currently, being held without bail or an attorney. Danger signs: Bond hearing without an attorney present (only an interpreter). 0:45 Report says, He will get an attorney from Capital Hill Defender's office (Need to check if they are in fact Public Defender's Office), soon. His "defense" did not contest holding Qi without bond (red flag), attorney not present. 0:50 trial is far from over, it will require a "team effort", District Attorney Jeff Nieman said. Trial has not actually started. If you don't have a motive, means (a gun), and maybe not even opportunity, than "team effort" is just a conspiracy to commit false prosecution, false imprisonment. Which would only prove racism involved, and 90% (or so) of North Carolina are likely suspects.
@@starbase51shiptestingfacil97 what are you talking about? Pls pay attention if you want to be in the conversation. Dr. Yan lost his life and from what it seems, it was at the hands of his own PhD student, whom he was advising. CAUGHT UP?
@@Savvy.too. I think he is saying that we aren't sure if it was over academics or not. Yes, that was his advisor, but he could have murdered him for other reasons (he wanted the man's wife for himself, or the student was mad cause the professor stepped on his foot) silly examples, but point is, we don't know if it was because of academics. We just know that's how they knew each other.
@@nashwayne2114 thank you for the cliffs notes lol. I was having a hard time following as it’s a bit all over the place. Correct, it could be for a myriad of reasons. The competitive academic environment seems to be where things lie.
It amazes me that the answer for someone having an issue is a gun. If he didn't have easy access to one, this might not have happened. I teach college...my number one concern is getting shot because I upset someone, someone who 30 years ago would have screamed or punched, but now shoots.
You might want to check Wake County arrest and court records regarding Prof Zijie Yan, if you really care about what Yan's family says happened to them. They alleged in sworn statements in court that Yan perpetrated all kinds of spousal, parental, and familial abuse to them. If this trial against Qi proceeds, then we may learn that Qi's experience with Yan was almost as bad as Yan's family's experience with Yan. Here, note that Prof Wang and her kids moved away from Yan on 06/03/2022, 15 months before Yan's death, and they never moved back. That tells you what Yan's family thought of Yan.
Start arming staff and you'll have better odds of survival. You can't control other people. Laws don't mean shit if people don't respect them. Murder is already illegal yet here we are.
Intelligence do not mean common sense. People need to think before acting. Lives are worth more that just a passing thought of hate and misunderstandings. I will bet that now behind bars he is thinking’ what the hell i did to my family, friends and my self’, all the live he change in a negative way. May the deceased rest in peace.
@@ranx9078 some people study for the advancement of a better life for themselves and the world, tell me what did his educational brain told him. I guess he will figure that out behind bars. What a waste.
@@sonjaanderson6933 yeah you focused on the suspect, I was referring to both victim and the suspect. Both well educated and super intelligent. Well who knows what he thinks behind bars. He won’t ever become a doctorate or a professor anyway.
@@ranx9078 so true, you are correct. So sorry for all families. Such a shame. We must not allowed anger to push us to the place, where our lives and others would be destroyed forever. Thanks.
There was a similar crime a decade or so ago. Chinese student shot his advisor, who was dismissing him from the doctoral program. Never knew how it ended. Advisers are not prone to dismiss doctoral candidates, even those who are taking forever to get done.. They do work us to death routinely, and foreign students are only paid 50%that of what Americans are paid, although we all work the same long hours.
Was it not made known before you accepted the role? Do any other country pays 100% along with benefits to foreign students? Are you entitled to the same benefits that citizens receive? Is the wage aligned with the law? if so.. please explain
It’s so sad. Pray for the family who lost a husband and a father❤. I pray God comfort their broken hearts. Pray for the person who committed this crime to repent and turn his heart to know the knowledge of God and Jesus. I also pray for God mercy to this community, and people to know God and love others❤
He probably understands everyday conversational English, but has low proficiency in legalese English used in a court of law. He has every right to an interpreter.
🙏 Nowadays going to school is like a gamble between life & death ... Killers & murderers come in all shapes & sizes regardless of their ethnicities , believes , gender , nationalities , social status , the clothes they wear or the food they eat! Metal detectors at guarded gates might slow down the attackers! 🙏 Deepest condolences to the families & friends of the killed professor! 🕯🌼🌿🌏🕊
Never had that problem years ago. I don't care if people were supposed to be racist. They didn't kill me. Racism exists everywhere. Africans in Rwanda killed each other because of tribal differences.
@@cynthiagonzalez658 Actually that problem has pretty much always existed . Europeans in Britain , France , Germany , Russia , Itally etc have killed each other over tribal , national differences
You mean the prof's parents? He is doing a divorce case against his wife and according to what he filed in the case his wife and his mother in law threatened to kill him. He called police twice related to his mother in law who was arrested bs of physical attacking him and he was arrested once bs his wife called police and reported he strangled her at her 7 months pregnancy. You can find all of the files online (his mother in law's cases and his case, as well as his on going divorce case with his wife). This will be very interesting maybe. The student killed him but hide the weapon. Why? He just came here one year ago. Who gave him the gun? Why he killed the prof?
This is very common between PHD students and Prof. There are some prof. hold their students back for a few yrs to help them on their research/project without clear timeline to get a PHD. Some students restart "wasting 1-3yrs" their PHD with another school and prof. The issue is professor holding students back for their own benefit.
@@iamhomeiamhomenot everyone thinks like you my friend. His education was probably his entire life. As a Christian I can’t judge him until I know all of the facts.
@@saltnpeppanatural1931 exactly. Power over someone doesn’t mean you’re absolved from consequences. You can cry that he’s a coward that he was weak that he isn’t a real man but at the end of the day the person that put these events into motion is maggot food. This should be a reminder to people to be kind and treat other human beings with respect to minimize tragedies like this but obviously people don’t learn. Oh well.
Probably said Taiwan is a country, I saw a youtube vid of a Chinese student in an Australian University crying like a baby because his Indian Professor said Taiwan is a country.
@@mae2309 Taiwan has never been a part of modern China. The last I check it was the Qing Dynasty and later the Japanese who had control of the Island until it later became independent(with the help from Japan after the war) before Chiang Kai-shek 蔣介石 showed up on the island after the CCP over threw the KMT and decided to call it home, like a roommate that no one wanted, but moved himself him in anyways and started redecorating the place.
If not a gun, it would have been a knife, or poison, or an explosive device. This was a pre-meditated, Asian-on-Asian crime, and the longer this shooter goes without explaining his actions, the more people will think that the Chinese Government is involved......
Chinese government involved.? Wow. You are paranoid.. we should really sue Hollywood for damaging ours kids brains and coco washing them.. okay Sherlock Holmes. You solve the mistery. Here's another clue. Maybe our government is very incompetent that they see the problem Infront of them. But they do not care. They look away every time. Ffs. Every candidate in the republican party wants to invade Mexico. A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, because they think they are a problem to our society drug addicts. But why aren't any candidate from BOTH PARTIES saying. WE WANT TO INVADE THE NRA for our gun problems?. you see the picture here. They rather keep invading other countries to make you think that others are the problem and that everything is perfect in this country without fixing our biggest problems here at home.. it's a disgrace. And by you saying that the Chinese government might be involved. It's just scary for you to think that. Because our government is the best and the most perfect right? Once again. You too are blaming others instead of looking at this as an internal issue.. Jezzzz..
Why would the chinese government want a nobody advisor killed? No, this was personal. He may have threatened to flunk him. Is the shooter a foreign student or what
As an American you’re right. Even an elementary or middle school or high school student can be shooter. Our Republicans ensure no matter the race, as long as you have either left or right hand with fingers to pull a trigger guns will be available to you (for a very affordable price of course 😊). So much freedom no country could compete. USA 🇺🇸 # 1.
How is he even able to be a doctoral candidate in the US when he needs a translator? Aren’t all the materials he’s working on written in English? Maybe that’s why he was working under a professor who was more fluent in English. That must have frustrated him but no reason to kill.
Who knows what really happened and why? Academia is filled with toxic people and bipolar split personalty type people. Also lots of politics and power plays. Risky dangerous vibes in academia that people take lightly until some crazy stuff happens
Tailei Qi must know what really happened. But several big questions are: (1) will he get to tell a NC jury, and (2) will that NC jury believe him? I'd guess "yes" and "no", but let's see.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. So much violence ...One day soon no more violence, death ... because our "enemy death will be conquered" (1 Corinthians 15:26) No one will be murdered ever again. Revelation 21:3,4 "God will wipe away every tear and death and sorrow will be no more" 🙏
This wasn’t a mass shooting. One foreign national shoots another foreign national in an academic setting, which is why all the attention. If it happened in a dive bar in Albuquerque between two illegal aliens from Mexico, if wouldn’t go past local news.
What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China? Or, are you suggesting this was a mass shooting of one? This was a regular “personal” execution. The alleged shooter was a left wing woke-ist. But this seems like it has nothing to do with political views or stances. Something personal between the two sparked this.
This reminds me of the University of Iowa shooting case from 1991. The shooter, Gang Lu, was a Chinese graduate student who studied physics and astronomy. His story was loosely portrayed in the film Dark Matter.
Besides holding back the student from completing his PhD, the professor may have been getting the credit from University and scientific community using the student"s work. In other words plagiarism. Meaning the professor becomes famous writing articles in journals using rhe student's data and findings but excluding the student's name from the article. This happens a lot even in famous universities. The student might give a superb idea in a tutorial. The prof writes it up as his own idea.
Don't just assume things and blame the victim..... From what I read the suspect is a second year phd student. How could he be held back from graduating when he was just starting his program???
@@forleungplease see above. I didn't post held back from graduating. They can hold him back from progressing to complete it. Getting him to repeat certain things and spend extra time and this incurs extra funds which he hasn't budgeted for. Supervisors can be uncaring, not helpful and mean. Sometimes when a student gets stuck the supervisor cannot be found for weeks.
@@Abraham-uk4xy I have first hand experience of being in similar positions, so I don't need to be reminded/educated on this. I'm just pointing out you have too much assuming and projecting. Too many "mights”. Why come so quickly to think of possible reasons for the suspect? You are reacting like those people who accuse female murder/violence victims of cheating, just because the commentors themselves have been cheated on in the past. After more information and thorough investigation, it’s ok to reflect on the academic system and any wrongdoings by the PI only if he had done any. Right now it’s definitely not the time to automatically blame the victim by assuming things that have zero evidence. Even the twitter posts getting quoted repeatedly by media don’t say the PI was doing/causing the bullying. It seems more like the suspect goes to the PI for mediating between two parties. However most comments seem to immediately associate the bullying with the PI. Failing to sort things out between two groups of students doesn't make one person worth of being killed. edit: new info: News says a co-authored paper by the victim and suspect was just published last month. I did some search and saw the suspect is the first author. The possibilities of your assumptions are lower now. More edit: The victim even emailed his previous mentor about his troubled student having mental illness and delusions. The professor also met with his department to make them aware, but nothing was done. So he was probably a really caring person and PI. And he didn’t mention the student’s name, it was just “a student” in the email, so he was not trying to bad mouth behind one’s back or disclose person info.
It didnt say he doesnt speak english but only an interpreter is provided. The reason being legal language used in court room is wholly different from the language in academic or daily life settings.
Well legally they're going to make sure he understands what's going on. That would be a terrible mistake and reason for as appeal or mistrial. I presume English is his second language do yes, for court, even if he was fluent, you'd want to make sure he had no reason to claim he didnt understand in the future.
@@user-up3tt5rd2e I can believe it. During my STEM training and grad degrees, some professors were total azzholes. They basically also wanted you to do all the research and work and THEY take the credit for it. These higher level STEM degrees are very hard on the students.
But why? Thank God he didn't shoot more. I was personally effected by this. God bless the poor victim and his beautiful family and all that was involved. Great response to the Chapel Hill police.
Was it that difficult to know who the victim was? Why it takes 2 days since the shooting occured? Is the police chief a five year old boy? Interesting.
@@davedave3236 You should know it would take 2 minutes for the police to announce who the killer and victims are if the incident occured in South Korea. That is the power of a nation where no gun rule is enforced and no racists cops exist. USA is getting like Somalia.
I need two months. Someone was shot on my campus. Nowhere near where I was, nobody I knew...I didn't even know it happened until the text..... but definitely need processing time
We need speak up and intervene in this Asian on Asian crime!! Does anyone else notice this is the 3rd time this year that an Asian did this in a public place? The other 2 were in California
Right, like what happened in Caudill Labs 159, which Yan listed as his office on his UNC faculty profile page before the CH police dispatcher said, "The gunshot victim is going to be in room 159. Only one victim at this time." In other words, did Yan lunge at Qi or attack Qi in a way that may have caused Qi to act in self-defense? Did Qi already answer questions on this after he was read his rights on 8/28/2023? If not, then his answer may only come out when one of his lawyers later presents this in court.
Anyone thought about in other countries students undergo only fire alarm drill whereas in US, students also go through drills when under attack by a shooter? Isn't it mindless that doesn't make any sense? We have to be always thinking if our kid will return safely back home from the school, are we safe going out to a mall, or for a movie etc. Why is it so difficult for politicians to act up on it and even the people unable to do anything about it. Ridiculous!
Associate professors can teach beginning classes in their field. They're paid very little and foreign students less. A full professor is someone who got has a complete degree and hired by the university to teach upper level classes.
Incorrect. Associate professors have achieved tenure. Full professors are the final stage of appointment and they typically take on more work with the university. Assistant professors have completed their PhD and have not gone up for tenure yet. That takes ~ 7 years of work before you are ready to apply for tenure. All levels teach all levels of students. Assistant professors teach PhD seminars. Full professors can teach freshman. They all have PhDs and are qualified. The ranks have other responsibilities and benefits. The level you teach is not one of them.
im curious why he shot his professor theres gotta be a better story than just simply "bullying" im thinking the professor was going to cause him academic harm and essentially ruin what his family in china had worked DECADES for
No investigation as usual. University is bzy making money. They don't care about students/ teachers. Seen a lot of Bangladeshi students committed suicide due to their advisors. No change came
I agree it is something like this. But it wouldn't be the professor's fault if the student failed out or anything like that. PhD programs are very rigorous, there are support systems for students outside of just their adviser. I would expect at a school like UNC especially he could've talked to other professors in the department or even the head of the department to discuss issues way earlier on. Same if the professor was actually being unfair. The department can help resolve issues. It's not a perfect system but still. Personal responsibility is hard. I crawled to the finish line to graduate, ended up graduating a semester late because I failed one of my final classes. I felt very panicked, very hopeless, but I knew it was not anyone else's fault I was in the situation I was in. I am still trying to improve professionally with hopes to return to school in the future. It's just sad. Sometimes life doesn't go how we plan or how we want it to. It's stressful. But no one should die over it.
Why do foreign students have a right to a gun? I know Americans can own guns, but international students? Who are visiting and studying here?? Guarantee they come up with an excuse on why they can get one….
@@deborahdean8867 that’s true regarding the criminal case. But how did he purchase the gun? Why do international students get the right to go own a gun. Guarantee there’s a loop hole.
@@lukesmith3283 I would think anyone can own a gun if they buy it and have id and whatever else is required. Probably legal residency but I doubt citizenship is required.
@kellyoyen Study the history of China a lot more, and you will not be so surprised at this. President Herbert Hoover, as a 30 year old American missionary in China, wrote home (so to speak) about the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 which he personally witnessed, and which he described as being shockingly unsurpassed for the degree of bloodthirstiness he personally saw: "....bodies floating down the river...." In Communist China, during the past five decades, more than 37 million baby girls under the age of two have been killed deliberately by being put in dying rooms - rooms lined with cribs where each crib has a baby girl, fed a non-nutritious subsistence diet, and deliberately and systematically deprived of affection. There are people who seem nice and congenial and easy to get along with - but the other side of the coin is that at the worst possible time, they bare their fangs. This professor who was killed was a great American. He was not killed because the killer thought the victim did something wrong. The killer attacked the victim because of what the victim did RIGHT.
"Mandarin" interpreter? He goes to an American University yet cannot speak the language? Jeez, could an American student go to Beijing University and not be able to speak the native tongue?
@@moweems5802 And I am sure most of them don't, at least not until they find a local gf/bf. If you don't know anything about studying internationally, why are you mouthing off nonsense?
So so sad! This Professor made a report to the university about this student’s behavior, and this school did not act on it ! That’s a tragedy waiting to happen ! Requiem in pace ! 🙏🥲
i don't know, he is already got a Graduate degree right? he can quit now and get a ok job and have a nice life here in the states. don't hate your professor and shoot him...

No gun, no motive. Maybe an opportunity. They simply charged some guy who doesn't speak English.
Who has a gun and a motive... United States, 2nd Amendment... North Carolina... racism... that's like 90% of the population in North Carolina. Who actually have a motive and a gun. That is more than you have on the guy they charged with shooting the teacher. Currently, being held without bail or an attorney.
Danger signs:
Bond hearing without an attorney present (only an interpreter).

0:50 trial is far from over, it will require a "team effort", District Attorney Jeff Nieman said. Trial has not actually started. If you don't have a motive, means (a gun), and maybe not even opportunity, than "team effort" is just a conspiracy to commit false prosecution, false imprisonment. Which would only prove racism involved, and 90% (or so) of North Carolina are likely suspects.

Dr. Yan lost his life and from what it seems, it was at the hands of his own PhD student, whom he was advising. CAUGHT UP?
@@Savvy.too. I think he is saying that we aren't sure if it was over academics or not. Yes, that was his advisor, but he could have murdered him for other reasons (he wanted the man's wife for himself, or the student was mad cause the professor stepped on his foot) silly examples, but point is, we don't know if it was because of academics.

Thanks for the update on the victim.
It seems no one tries to pronounce the Victim's name correctly, Yan Zi Jie, so much for the condolences.
It's very tragic. My condolences to the family. Very sad to think that obtaining an education can cause such stress and desperation 😢
It amazes me that the answer for someone having an issue is a gun. If he didn't have easy access to one, this might not have happened. I teach college...my number one concern is getting shot because I upset someone, someone who 30 years ago would have screamed or punched, but now shoots.
You know guns have existed for more than 30 years, right?
Stop brainwashing these kids! Seriously! I would stop if I were you. Prison is what you should be worried about!
Guns were less restricted 30 years ago and were just as lethal then, as today. Its a cultural issue.

You might want to check Wake County arrest and court records regarding Prof Zijie Yan, if you really care about what Yan's family says happened to them. They alleged in sworn statements in court that Yan perpetrated all kinds of spousal, parental, and familial abuse to them. If this trial against Qi proceeds, then we may learn that Qi's experience with Yan was almost as bad as Yan's family's experience with Yan. Here, note that Prof Wang and her kids moved away from Yan on 06/03/2022, 15 months before Yan's death, and they never moved back. That tells you what Yan's family thought of Yan.
Rest In Peace, Yan 老师。 😢🕊️ 🌹

It doesn't make sense that he had an interpreter present. If he was studying at UNC, his English is fluent.
He also graduate from a college in Louisiana so he's been here for a while. He also studied in Wuhan.

You mean the prof's parents? He is doing a divorce case against his wife and according to what he filed in the case his wife and his mother in law threatened to kill him. He called police twice related to his mother in law who was arrested bs of physical attacking him and he was arrested once bs his wife called police and reported he strangled her at her 7 months pregnancy. You can find all of the files online (his mother in law's cases and his case, as well as his on going divorce case with his wife). This will be very interesting maybe.

Sad. On the Red Book, quite a number of people remember this professor
In a resent survey 100 % of all teachers and students agreed they don't like being killed at school or in a park or in a mall 😅
This is very common between PHD students and Prof. There are some prof. hold their students back for a few yrs to help them on their research/project without clear timeline to get a PHD. Some students restart "wasting 1-3yrs" their PHD with another school and prof. The issue is professor holding students back for their own benefit.

I said it was probably over a grade.. I feel i was correct. People are insane!
If not a gun, it would have been a knife, or poison, or an explosive device. This was a pre-meditated, Asian-on-Asian crime, and the longer this shooter goes without explaining his actions, the more people will think that the Chinese Government is involved......
Really?😂😂Asian on asian crime? That's how you view it? My god!😂😂😂😂
Chinese government involved.? Wow. You are paranoid.. we should really sue Hollywood for damaging ours kids brains and coco washing them.. okay Sherlock Holmes. You solve the mistery.
Here's another clue. Maybe our government is very incompetent that they see the problem Infront of them. But they do not care. They look away every time. Ffs. Every candidate in the republican party wants to invade Mexico. A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, because they think they are a problem to our society drug addicts. But why aren't any candidate from BOTH PARTIES saying. WE WANT TO INVADE THE NRA for our gun problems?. you see the picture here. They rather keep invading other countries to make you think that others are the problem and that everything is perfect in this country without fixing our biggest problems here at home.. it's a disgrace. And by you saying that the Chinese government might be involved. It's just scary for you to think that. Because our government is the best and the most perfect right? Once again. You too are blaming others instead of looking at this as an internal issue..
Jezzzz..
Why would the chinese government want a nobody advisor killed? No, this was personal. He may have threatened to flunk him. Is the shooter a foreign student or what
As an American you’re right. Even an elementary or middle school or high school student can be shooter. Our Republicans ensure no matter the race, as long as you have either left or right hand with fingers to pull a trigger guns will be available to you (for a very affordable price of course 😊).
So much freedom no country could compete. USA 🇺🇸 # 1.

What's the reason of this crime ?
How is he even able to be a doctoral candidate in the US when he needs a translator? Aren’t all the materials he’s working on written in English? Maybe that’s why he was working under a professor who was more fluent in English. That must have frustrated him but no reason to kill.

So incredibly sad! 😭 We have mass shootings everyday.
This wasn’t a mass shooting. One foreign national shoots another foreign national in an academic setting, which is why all the attention. If it happened in a dive bar in Albuquerque between two illegal aliens from Mexico, if wouldn’t go past local news.
This wasn't a mass shooting
What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China? Or, are you suggesting this was a mass shooting of one? This was a regular “personal” execution. The alleged shooter was a left wing woke-ist. But this seems like it has nothing to do with political views or stances. Something personal between the two sparked this.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This reminds me of the University of Iowa shooting case from 1991. The shooter, Gang Lu, was a Chinese graduate student who studied physics and astronomy. His story was loosely portrayed in the film Dark Matter.
Besides holding back the student from completing his PhD, the professor may have been getting the credit from University and scientific community using the student"s work. In other words plagiarism. Meaning the professor becomes famous writing articles in journals using rhe student's data and findings but excluding the student's name from the article. This happens a lot even in famous universities. The student might give a superb idea in a tutorial. The prof writes it up as his own idea.
Don't just assume things and blame the victim..... From what I read the suspect is a second year phd student. How could he be held back from graduating when he was just starting his program???
Even if true that does not excuse murder. He could have exposed the plagiarism if that was the case.
@@forleungplease see above. I didn't post held back from graduating. They can hold him back from progressing to complete it. Getting him to repeat certain things and spend extra time and this incurs extra funds which he hasn't budgeted for.
Supervisors can be uncaring, not helpful and mean. Sometimes when a student gets stuck the supervisor cannot be found for weeks.
@@Abraham-uk4xy I have first hand experience of being in similar positions, so I don't need to be reminded/educated on this. I'm just pointing out you have too much assuming and projecting. Too many "mights”. Why come so quickly to think of possible reasons for the suspect? You are reacting like those people who accuse female murder/violence victims of cheating, just because the commentors themselves have been cheated on in the past. After more information and thorough investigation, it’s ok to reflect on the academic system and any wrongdoings by the PI only if he had done any. Right now it’s definitely not the time to automatically blame the victim by assuming things that have zero evidence. Even the twitter posts getting quoted repeatedly by media don’t say the PI was doing/causing the bullying. It seems more like the suspect goes to the PI for mediating between two parties. However most comments seem to immediately associate the bullying with the PI. Failing to sort things out between two groups of students doesn't make one person worth of being killed.
edit: new info: News says a co-authored paper by the victim and suspect was just published last month. I did some search and saw the suspect is the first author. The possibilities of your assumptions are lower now.
More edit: The victim even emailed his previous mentor about his troubled student having mental illness and delusions. The professor also met with his department to make them aware, but nothing was done. So he was probably a really caring person and PI. And he didn’t mention the student’s name, it was just “a student” in the email, so he was not trying to bad mouth behind one’s back or disclose person info.
it open secrets that professor used students works n put their names. there a very high lights case in Taiwan and Korea

The reason being legal language used in court room is wholly different from the language in academic or daily life settings.
Well legally they're going to make sure he understands what's going on. That would be a terrible mistake and reason for as appeal or mistrial. I presume English is his second language do yes, for court, even if he was fluent, you'd want to make sure he had no reason to claim he didnt understand in the future.

Right, like what happened in Caudill Labs 159, which Yan listed as his office on his UNC faculty profile page before the CH police dispatcher said, "The gunshot victim is going to be in room 159. Only one victim at this time." In other words, did Yan lunge at Qi or attack Qi in a way that may have caused Qi to act in self-defense? Did Qi already answer questions on this after he was read his rights on 8/28/2023? If not, then his answer may only come out when one of his lawyers later presents this in court.
a gun the great equalizer to dish out pain
Anyone thought about in other countries students undergo only fire alarm drill whereas in US, students also go through drills when under attack by a shooter? Isn't it mindless that doesn't make any sense? We have to be always thinking if our kid will return safely back home from the school, are we safe going out to a mall, or for a movie etc. Why is it so difficult for politicians to act up on it and even the people unable to do anything about it.

Not unlike the highly decorated American sniper who was killed by a bloke he was mentoring.
what's diff between associate prof and a real prof?
Associate professors can teach beginning classes in their field. They're paid very little and foreign students less. A full professor is someone who got has a complete degree and hired by the university to teach upper level classes.
Incorrect. Associate professors have achieved tenure. Full professors are the final stage of appointment and they typically take on more work with the university. Assistant professors have completed their PhD and have not gone up for tenure yet. That takes ~ 7 years of work before you are ready to apply for tenure. All levels teach all levels of students. Assistant professors teach PhD seminars. Full professors can teach freshman. They all have PhDs and are qualified. The ranks have other responsibilities and benefits. The level you teach is not one of them.
@@claytonmorada yes that's true i recall my freshman college chemistry class at berkeley was taught by a nobel laureate professor!
im curious why he shot his professor theres gotta be a better story than just simply "bullying" im thinking the professor was going to cause him academic harm and essentially ruin what his family in china had worked DECADES for
My guess is that the guy is a loser.
No investigation as usual. University is bzy making money. They don't care about students/ teachers. Seen a lot of Bangladeshi students committed suicide due to their advisors. No change came
It’s definitely ruined now. So those DECADES are wasted anyway. And 2 children will now grow up without a father.
@@ediorfitzgerald1478
Maybe they will let him get his PhD in jail, on taxpayers money 🤬
I agree it is something like this. But it wouldn't be the professor's fault if the student failed out or anything like that. PhD programs are very rigorous, there are support systems for students outside of just their adviser. I would expect at a school like UNC especially he could've talked to other professors in the department or even the head of the department to discuss issues way earlier on. Same if the professor was actually being unfair. The department can help resolve issues. It's not a perfect system but still.
Personal responsibility is hard. I crawled to the finish line to graduate, ended up graduating a semester late because I failed one of my final classes. I felt very panicked, very hopeless, but I knew it was not anyone else's fault I was in the situation I was in. I am still trying to improve professionally with hopes to return to school in the future.
It's just sad. Sometimes life doesn't go how we plan or how we want it to. It's stressful. But no one should die over it.

Here's another thing that I don't understand. WHY WOULD A CHINESE STUDENT KILL A CHINESE PROFESSOR?
@kellyoyen Study the history of China a lot more, and you will not be so surprised at this.
President Herbert Hoover, as a 30 year old American missionary in China, wrote home (so to speak) about the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 which he personally witnessed, and which he described as being shockingly unsurpassed for the degree of bloodthirstiness he personally saw: "....bodies floating down the river...."
In Communist China, during the past five decades, more than 37 million baby girls under the age of two have been killed deliberately by being put in dying rooms - rooms lined with cribs where each crib has a baby girl, fed a non-nutritious subsistence diet, and deliberately and systematically deprived of affection.
There are people who seem nice and congenial and easy to get along with - but the other side of the coin is that at the worst possible time, they bare their fangs.
This professor who was killed was a great American. He was not killed because the killer thought the victim did something wrong. The killer attacked the victim because of what the victim did RIGHT.
I still don't believe that
same question why white shooters killed innocent school kids 😢
