Zhou Ji (born August 26, 1946) is a Chinese politician. He served as the Minister of Education of the People's Republic of China between 2003 and 2009. He was educated in the United States and served briefly as the Mayor of Wuhan earlier in his career. Zhou is current President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, succeeding Xu Kuangdi in June 2010.
Zhou Ji is a native of Shanghai, and attended Tsinghua University in Beijing, where he graduated from in 1970. Zhou also acquired a doctorate from the University at Buffalo (PhD, '84, M.S.'81) in the United States. Much of his early career was spent at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, located in Wuhan, where he eventually rose to become its President in 1997. He joined the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999. He then spent a tenure in the municipal government of Wuhan, where he served as deputy mayor and Mayor.
He was transferred to work in the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in 2002 as its Vice-Minister, rising to the Minister position on March 17, 2003. At the re-elections of the 2008 National People's Congress, Zhou received the least votes in favour out of any minister. He received 384 votes against, with 81 abstentions. During Zhou's time in office, China's education system continued to be plagued by academic dishonesty, corruption, and arbitrary fees, with no discernible signs of improvement. Zhou was also unpopular due to his introduction of 16 "officially sanctioned" educational Peking Opera works, some of which allegedly included themes similar to those during the Cultural Revolution. These works were openly opposed by members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in March 2009. He was removed in October 2009 at a regular session of the National People's Congress; he was replaced by deputy Yuan Guiren.
I love a boy without a heart.
I'm but a string on his guitar.
He would never know that I'm in pain,
Waiting for a song that he can't play.
I was confident the night we met,
The moment was so strong.
Like a piece of bubblegum,
Sweet at first but it don't last that long.
Now I'm filled with insecurities,
It's time to spit you out.
'Cause you, you'll never change,
The games that you play,
It's just who you are.
And I, have to believe,
It's you and not me,
The boy without a heart.
Yaaaaaayyyyaaaayyy
I love a boy who doesn't feel.
Believes what he says until it's real.
All that I want, you can be,
But you can not pretend that long for me.
I was beautiful the day we met,
But now I'm not so sure.
Awkward and alone you,
You don't make me feel sexy anymore.
I'm snapping myself out of it,
I gotta close this door.
'Cause you, you'll never change,
The games that you play,
It's just who you are (just who you are).
And I, have to believe,
It's you and not me,
The boy without a, the boy without a,
The boy without a heart.
Oooooooo
I just like to think that I,
Deserve a nice respectable guy.
So why am I here at your door, at your door.
If I was sane, I'd take my crazy behind,
And get back in my BMW,
'Cause I'm a self-made woman,
And someones gunna treat me better than you do (ha).
I just need ta, I just need ta calm down.
'Cause you, you'll never change,
The games that you play (the games that you play),
It's just who you are (just who you are).
And I, have to believe (And I I ....believe),
It's you and not me (It's you and not me),
The boy without a heart (the boy without a, the boy
without a heart).
'Cause you, you'll never change,
The games that you play (Oooooo....you'll never
change),
It's just who you are (just who you are).
And I, have to believe (I just have to believe for my
sanity),
It's you and not me (Oooo),
The boy without a heart (the boy without a, the boy
