Chapter 14 Witty Teachers
In the article "Chaoyang", Wang Qiang described various experiences when he was in school, and took people to taste the ups and downs of adolescence from a more mature perspective. There are happiness, positivity, sadness and bitterness, but more often than not, it is like the rising sun, which is the main theme of the student days. Many teachers read this article and feel empathy and nostalgia for the past.
And the content in "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study" is empty for all the teachers on the scene. In the history of this world, there is no Lu Xun, a writer, and there is no Baicao Garden and Sanwei Book House described in the article, and everyone doesn't even know what era the article describes. Words like "studied" and "sir" sound very old, but they are certainly not modern anyway.
However, the content of the article is fictitious, but it does not prevent teachers from understanding the idea of the article.
"From the Garden of Herbs to the Three Flavors of Study" can be divided into two parts, the first half talks about the happy time before going to school, and the language described is full of childlike fun and very picturesque. In particular, the legend of the red snake and the beautiful snake, although it seems simple and naΓ―ve from an adult's perspective, the language of the article can make readers follow back to their childhood and experience the tension and fear of the unknown.
The second half of the article talks about life after becoming a student at a school. It says that Sanwei Shoya is the strictest school, and it deliberately uses a small story to emphasize Mr. Gakuku's rigidity.
The 'I' in the article happened to learn about a kind of insect called 'weird', which was dissolved by injustice and dissipated as soon as it was poured with wine. At that time, 'I' wanted to know more about this story, so I asked him, but he was very angry and said that he didn't know.
Later, 'I' realized that it was not that my husband did not know, but that he did not want to say. He believes that students should study and should not think about messy things.
Many teachers read the article, and when they read this, they are vaguely aware of what the article seems to be reflecting. Then, they think back to their school days and how they treat their students now as teachers.
The school life described in the second half of this article is actually a critique of today's cramming teaching!
The teachers at the school did not let the students bring their mobile phones, did not let them grow their hair, did not let them wear beautiful clothes, and even said that they should not do anything unrelated to their studies. What's more, in order to ensure grades, teachers actually want to interfere in students' private lives, Wang Qiang's behavior is a typical example!
"What a strong writing skill! What a strong expression ability!" But any teacher who has read this article can't help but sigh in their hearts. They are all involuntarily brought into it, as if the protagonist is themselves.
The second half of the article does not always describe the rigidity of the school. Go to the back garden to climb trees, be ants, be funny when you are reading, and secretly draw pictures during class. This is what 'I' remember most about the life of the school in the text.
It turns out that campus life is still mostly joyful and fun, just like the newborn sunrise.
The whole article never describes the rising sun, but it is full of rising sunrise. The Hundred Herb Garden is a weed garden in the eyes of adults, and the Three Flavors Book House is really the Three Flavors Book House.
After reading all the two articles, the teachers immediately divided their hearts into high and low. It was a battle without suspense from the start. In front of "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study", "Chaoyang Chao" is just a standard exam essay, and the literary quality is extremely low.
Originally, I thought that Wang Qiang wrote "Chaoyang", but now all the teachers have changed their minds, and they don't even ask, and inexplicably confidently put "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study" on Wang Qiang's head. They were anxious to express the shock they felt at the article in their hearts, and immediately began to flatter Wang Qiang.
"It's worthy of Mr. Wang, once this article is published, I'm afraid it won't be a provincial second-level literary award, it should go straight to the national award, right?"
"From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Book House" is a simple narrative at first glance, but after reading the article, I feel more and more that this title has a taste. β
"Three Flavor Library, Three Flavor Library, the name of this library is also very interesting and chewy. β
Then, the teacher brought "Chaoyang" to Lu Pingfan, patted Lu Pingfan's shoulder, and encouraged him earnestly: "It's a good thing to have the courage to compete with the teacher, but writing an article is not as good as an exam, and the "Chaoyang" you wrote is not bad, but it is much worse than the real article. Keep up the good work. β
As a result, the teacher didn't encourage Lu Pingfan, but as soon as his words came out, the angry principal's face darkened. As a party to the case, Wang Qiang is even more eager to find a place to get in, saving a moment of embarrassment. He can only play Lu Pingfan silently now, don't let him not come to the stage in front of so many people.
At the same time, he still secretly hated in his heart, where did these teachers get the confidence to think that "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study" was written by him Wang Qiang? Even if you want to praise, can you wait a while to praise it? Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know the water that spilled out when you say it?
But no matter how much he hated or worried, Lu Pingfan, who was holding "Chaoyang", told the truth mercilessly.
I saw him say to the teacher who encouraged him just now with a blank face: "Teacher, it's wrong, this is not mine." β
"What did you say?" the teacher didn't react.
Lu Pingfan said again: ""From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study" was written by me. β
"It can't be. The teacher who encouraged Lu Pingfan's face immediately became serious, and said with a warning in his tone: "Lu Pingfan, impersonating someone else's article will have very serious consequences, and it will even involve the legal level. There are some things that you can't talk nonsense, and I don't think I heard what you just said.
Listen, there's no shame in losing, you're only in your third year of high school now, and Teacher Wang Qiang has started a family, so you naturally can't compare. But if you have a problem with your character, no one can help you. β
"But I originally wrote it, don't believe it, ask Teacher Wang Qiang yourself. Lu Pingfan said with an innocent face.
Then all the teachers looked at Wang Qiang in surprise, their eyes full of doubts. Looking at Wang Qiang again, his face was black from the beginning, and now it has become darker. The teachers' puzzled gazes were not exchanged for his explanation, but only for a suppressed silence.
Silence means acquiescence, and without Wang Qiang personally admitting it, everyone will understand what's going on.
Only then did the teachers realize that they had made a huge fuss, and if it weren't for the praise just now, Wang Qiang might still have the steps down. But they couldn't wait to praise and blocked Wang Qiang's way down the steps. And the teachers can't change their words, and to change their words is to slap themselves in the face in front of so many students!
Between hitting Wang Qiang in the face and slapping himself in the face, the teachers decisively chose the former.
