Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) released a new version of the Code of Conduct for CAS Member Academicians (Trial), which triggered extensive discussion and controversy. This regulation aims to regulate the academic and social behavior of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, clarifying a series of behavioral norms and rules, among which the most noteworthy provision is to prohibit academicians from publicly expressing academic opinions unrelated to their professional field.

However, this regulation did not receive unanimous approval from all academicians, and the famous Chinese scientist He Zuoxiu became the first opponent of this regulation. He Zuoxiu is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, renowned for his outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics. He has repeatedly made public remarks unrelated to mathematics, such as his views on infant mortality and traditional Chinese medicine, which have sparked widespread controversy. He also made some humorous remarks during the Huawei sanctions period, which sparked heated discussions on social media.

The opposition behavior of He Zuoxiu has sparked a series of controversies, which involve the ethics and responsibilities that academicians should have. On the one hand, those who support He Zuoxiu believe that academicians should have freedom of speech without restrictions, and their voices should be respected, whether in their professional field or other fields. On the other hand, opponents believe that as academicians, they should have a certain level of responsibility and bottom line, and should not make irresponsible remarks at will to avoid misleading the public.

He Zuoxiu once made some extreme remarks, which have caused widespread controversy in the academic community and society. For example, he had publicly questioned statistical data on infant mortality rates and presented his own viewpoint, believing that they were problematic. This statement not only lacks scientific basis, but may also lead to misunderstandings and panic among the public. In addition, He Zuoxiu has also published some controversial views on traditional Chinese medicine, which contradict the consensus of modern medicine and have sparked strong opposition in the medical community.

During the period when Huawei faced international sanctions, He Zuoxiu made some sarcastic remarks, which were interpreted by some as disrespect for national interests and the international situation. Although he may have acted out of humor or reflection, these remarks still sparked social questioning and controversy. Some people believe that as a scientist and academician, he should express his views more carefully to avoid misleading the public and damaging the country's image.

This controversy raises a broader question of what kind of bottom line and conscience scientists should have. Scientists play an important role in society, and their research and perspectives often have a significant impact on the public and policies. Therefore, scientists should take some responsibility for their own words and actions. They should not venture into all fields with their academician titles, but should express their views more cautiously and responsibly.

No matter what the purpose of He Zuoxiu's remarks is, his actions are to some extent disappointing. As an academician, he should lead by example, demonstrate self-awareness and exemplary behavior. His words and actions not only represent him personally, but also represent the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese scientific community. Therefore, he should express his views more cautiously and responsibly to avoid misleading the public and damaging the reputation of science.

This controversy also reflects a change in society's perception of academicians. In the past, academicians were often blindly worshipped by society, and their words and actions were often not subject to much questioning. However, with the progress of society and the dissemination of information, people's expectations for academicians have also changed. They hope that academicians can express their opinions and actions more responsibly, not only in their own professional field, but also in other fields.

In general, the new version of the Code of Conduct for Academicians of the CAS Member (Trial) released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has triggered a dispute about the integrity and responsibility of academicians. As the first opponent of this regulation, He Zuoxiu's speech and behavior have sparked widespread discussion. Scientists should have freedom of speech, but they should also bear a certain responsibility and refrain from making irresponsible remarks at will. Their behavior and speech not only affect themselves, but also the scientific community and society. Therefore, society no longer blindly worships academicians, but places more emphasis on responsible speech and behavior. This controversy provides an important opportunity for the scientific community and society to reflect and discuss, hoping to promote more responsible and transparent scientific research and communication.
