As a matter of fact, Professor Wang Can won this "privilege" not because of his current position at Fudan University, but mainly because of his talent in the field of philosophy. The professor can be said to be a "divine man" in the philosophy department of Fudan University, and he is affectionately called the "prince of philosophy", which shows that Professor Wang is still very recognized and welcomed in the industry.
It is precisely because of his outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of philosophy that his special hobbies are tolerated by the school. Of course, Fudan University's leniency towards Professor Wang in this respect reflects China University's "informality" and its tolerance for top talents' special interests.
In fact, Professor Wang has a special hobby besides smoking, because, according to him, you can't think well without smoking. As we know, philosophy is a science that needs scholars' thinking very much. Many people have their own special hobbies when they think deeply.
For Professor Wang, smoking and listening to music can make him think hard. In order to keep his philosophical thinking unaffected, he can only continue his hobby that has a great influence on the outside world.
Professor Wang is still very sorry for the bad reaction his special hobby has brought to his students. According to some Fudan students who have attended Professor Wang's class, Professor Wang will apologize before each class, especially to the students in the front row.
This solution of actively admitting mistakes has also been unanimously recognized by Fudan students. Of course, the most important thing is that his philosophy class is very interesting, which is also the main reason why students can attend classes in peace of mind in his smog.
