原央视主持人喊话北大，关心韦东奕健康状况

Public concern has grown following Chinese mathematician Wei Dongyi's debut on social media. Wei, a researcher at Peking University's School of Mathematical Sciences, recently registered his personal account on a video-sharing platform, with a post on the account revealing missing teeth and unusual facial features, prompting many netizens to express worry about his health.

Responding to the concerns, Wei Dongyi's family said that his dental issues stem from multiple causes. He suffers from periodontitis and has undergone treatment several times, with further hospital check-ups planned. Wei's older sister confirmed she has taken him to see a doctor.

On Saturday, former China Central Television (CCTV) host Zhao Pu publicly called on Peking University to show concern for Wei Dongyi's health and intervene if necessary. "What Wei needs is not onlookers and worship," Zhao said. "He urgently needs care and assistance regarding his physical health. Wei's family has a responsibility to care for him better, and Peking University also has a moral obligation to care for and support him."

Fu Jian, a lawyer and director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, has offered a legal analysis. He said that as a person with full civil capacity, Wei Dongyi himself is primarily responsible for his own life. Peking University, as his employer, is obligated to provide a safe workplace.

Fu referenced China's Teacher Law, which stipulates that governments at all levels should take measures to strengthen teachers' ideological education and professional training, improve their working and living conditions, safeguard their lawful rights and interests, and enhance their social status. Schools and other educational institutions autonomously manage teachers according to national regulations.

If Wei's health problems have a causal relationship with his work environment or methods, the university has an obligation to safeguard his occupational safety, potentially by adjusting his workload or providing medical support. If he lacks essential life skills or faces special circumstances, his close relatives bear a certain level of responsibility for his care and guardianship.

According to the official website of Peking University's School of Mathematical Sciences, Wei currently serves as a researcher at the school's Differential Equations Teaching and Research Section. He obtained his bachelor's degree from Peking University in 2014 and his PhD in 2018. From 2017 to 2019, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research. Since December 2019, he has remained at the university as an assistant professor.
