Within the Boundaries (I)

Set against the recruitment of overseas-trained scholars by a regional medical university, this book follows the experiences of Zhu Jianhong, Lü Bin, Ding Zaokun, and others to reveal that academic credentials, professional ability, and moral character do not necessarily go hand in hand. Some treat the kindness of others as something they are simply entitled to, turn public resources into private gain, and exploit supervisory authority, research funding, and institutional loopholes for personal benefit. They may not always break the law, yet they constantly operate at the edge of the rules, harming others while preserving an appearance of respectability. The book ultimately asks: What must a university truly defend—the boundaries of its regulations, or the moral limits of human conduct?
