In the letter, Xia suggested that the university remove her from the her position, as she had made barely any achievements over the past 12 years.

夏琼在信中揭露，她辞职的真实原因是她厌倦了中国大学的行政体系

"Truth to be told, I've been punching above my weight to fight against the university administrative system, which disrespects teachers' honor and students' dignity. ... it's so hard to be an earnest educator," Xia wrote.

夏琼写道：“实话实说，我长期与这种践踏教师尊严、侮辱学生智商的高校行政管理体制进行着不自量力的抗争……如今想做一个认真的教书先生真的很困难。”

Xia's resignation letter soon went viral online. Many scholars have supported Xia's opinion, criticizing universities for their “outdated and suffocating” administration systems. Others added that the system negatively influences scholars' enthusiasm for education and research.

夏琼的辞职信随即在网上走红。很多学者支持他的观点，批评大学“过时和令人窒息的”行政体系。还有人补充道，这种体系负面上影响了学者们的教育和研究热情。

In response to the outpouring of public support, Xia told the Beijing Times that she is just an ordinary educator. She said that although she resigned from her position as dean, she plans to keep teaching for the foreseeable future.

在回应民众支持时，夏琼向《新京报》表示，她只是一名普通的教育工作者。她指出，虽然她不再担任主任一职，但是她计划在将来继续教学。
