University Tales

The novel follows Lu Ming's 40-year career in university science and technology management, chronologically depicting the development of Chinese universities over the past 25 years. It focuses on the work and life of university staff, highlighting the growth, struggles, joys, and sorrows of scientific researchers, as well as the changes and persistence of universities amid societal shifts. Through Lu Ming's experiences, the story reveals the 'triple transformation' of university science and technology management: from 'administrative service' to 'innovation guidance', from 'fragmented management' to 'systematic coordination', and from 'policy following' to 'demand leading'. Using a 'small perspective' to showcase the 'big era', the novel allows readers to deeply understand the people and events within universities.
