North.

An auditorium in the West End.

It's 9:45.

"Appreciation of Classical Classics", which was supposed to start at half past nine, has been delayed for a quarter of an hour.

This is an auditorium that will only be open to the public for academic paper lectures and large-scale open classes, because there was no preparation in advance, and there was a big red banner of "Academic Paper Seminar" hanging above the rostrum of the auditorium, and the staff of Peking University quickly took off the banner, but it was too late to make a banner for Zhang Ye, so it could only be empty.

People poured in.

There are students, teachers from Peking University, and journalists.

"Reporter friends, please sit in this area, please turn off the camera!"

"Why? Don't shoot, huh? What kind of public class is that? ”

"Repeat, please turn off the camera and the flash of the camera, this open class is not allowed to record, please cooperate, thank you."

"Can I do an interview after class?"

"Not today."

"Why are you like this, we came all the way and didn't let us interview or shoot?"

"The department has given the green light, otherwise it won't even be an open class, everyone be considerate, we also have our rules, please leave if you don't cooperate!"

"Okay, we got it."

Peking University is still very strong in this regard, and there is no accommodating meaning at all. What kind of place is this, the reporters also know that it would be good to allow them to come in, and it is not good for them to spread wild here, and the name of Peking University alone is enough for people to weigh and weigh.

The reporter took his seat.

Professor Zeng and several teachers from the Chinese Department also sat in the first row of auditoriums, and finally, the department head and department secretary also sat down.

Professor Zeng smiled: "It's the first time that we have this formation in our elective courses." ”

A teacher in the Chinese department shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be a scandal, the bigger the formation, the worse it will end, and I don't know how the media has to write it." ”

Professor Zeng said: "Mr. Zhang is powerful, and this situation will not occur. ”

"I hope so." The teachers of the Chinese Department are still not optimistic about Zhang Ye's lecture, and they always feel a little worried.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door of the auditorium, it was Wu Zeqing, she looked at the almost full auditorium, smiled, and walked over.

Chang Kaige hurriedly got up, "Principal Wu." ”

Zhen Shuquan also said: "Why are you here too?" ”

"I heard that the reporters are here, so I'll take a look too." Wu Zeqing wore a long skirt today, elegantly touched the skirt, and sat in the front row.

Principal Wu came with several professors, but none of them were from the Chinese department, but professors and teachers from other departments, and I don't know if it was curiosity or for what reason, they all came to listen to Zhang Ye's first public class. Several professors looked at the seating situation in the auditorium, and they were also secretly frightened, they just heard that Zhang Ye's big class was overcrowded, and even Zhang Ye, the lecturer, couldn't squeeze into the small lecture hall, they still didn't believe it, and now they saw the scene in front of them, only to know that the news they got was not only not exaggerated, but also said that it was low, this medium-sized auditorium can accommodate about 1,200 people, but now, it is almost full of students!

The number of people is still increasing!

There are also Peking University students who rushed to pour in when they heard the news!

If this continues, there will be no pressure on 1,200 people!

Several professors from foreign departments are a little jealous, a layman, a host, came to Peking University to lecture on academic courses across industries, and so many Peking University students came to watch? Even skipping class to listen to Zhang Ye's lectures? These well-known teachers and professors in the field of education are a little embarrassed.

Peking University students were excited.

Yao Mi occupied a good seat in the front row, and was already looking forward to it, "I don't know how Mr. Zhang will talk about the Three Kingdoms today, or something else?" ”

Li Yingdao: "It should be the Three Kingdoms, right?" ”

"It's for sure, other Zhang Ye is not good at it." Li Lidao.

Yao Mi didn't like to hear it: "Come on, my Uncle Zhang can't do anything!" It's okay to talk about anything! ”

Sister Song, a scholar, held a book and watched it silently, sat next to them, and suddenly said loudly: "In the famous book, as long as you don't talk about "Dream of Red Mansions", with Teacher Zhang Ye's literary background, you will definitely be able to control it." ”

Yao Mi didn't understand, "Why can't you talk about "Dream of Red Mansions"? ”

Li Ying knew something, "Hehe, it's not that you can't talk about it, but you can't talk about it." ”

The prickly head Senior Zhou was in the row behind them, and also said, "Yao Xuemei doesn't seem to have studied the Red Mansion, right?" This is a book that no one dares to touch. He explained it to Yao Mi and a few people who didn't know well.

After listening, Yao Mi also understood, "Damn, Mr. Zhang asked me what we want to hear before, and I'm talking about "Dream of Red Mansions"!" ”

Senior Zhou said: "Isn't it? ”

Senior Sister Song glanced at them, "Don't worry, Teacher Zhang won't listen to you, he's not that stupid." ”

Yao Mi patted her chest and exhaled, "That's good, that's good." ”

The question of what class Zhang Ye is going to talk about today is also being discussed by many people in the auditorium.

Journalists are talking to each other.

"Who knows what Zhang Ye is talking about?"

"Peking University didn't notify me, I don't know."

"Nine out of nine are the Three Kingdoms, otherwise it's Water Margin and Journey to the West?"

"Anyway, it's not "Dream of Red Mansions", hehe."

"Nonsense, who doesn't know this."

From the very beginning, everyone eliminated "Dream of Red Mansions", and no one had any doubts about it, and they all took it for granted.

Chang Kaige, who was in the first row, also asked, "Has Mr. Zhang decided the content of the lecture?" Three Kingdoms or Water Margin? ”

The passing staff member who was stopped by the head of the department was stunned, "Uh, I forgot to ask, and Teacher Zhang Ye didn't say it, so I'm preparing it in the background." ”

Zhen Shu was speechless, "I don't know what to say?" ”

Professor Zeng smiled: "It's okay, as long as it's not the Red Mansion." ”

Suddenly, the voice of Yan Jiantao, the most prestigious old professor in the Chinese Department, came from behind, "Dream of the Red Mansion? Xiao Zhang also dares to talk about it, no one in the industry dares to touch this course. ”

Chang Kaige laughed and said, "Xiao Zhang is not so confused. ”

Zhen Shuquan never thought that Zhang Ye dared to talk about the Red Mansion, and he never thought about it.

The teacher of the first department said, "Professor Yan is also here?" ”

To make room for it, Yan Jiantao and President Wu nodded politely, and then sat down too, ready to listen to Zhang Ye's lecture, he was actually not curious, but purely to find fault.

Regardless of everyone's purpose and mood, this lesson is highly anticipated!

Teachers pay attention, students pay attention, journalists pay attention, education circles pay attention, and the whole society also pays attention!

The staff of Peking University set up the camera, a total of three cameras to prepare the podium, they did not allow reporters to shoot, but of course Peking University wanted to record, after all, this is an open class.

……

It's ten o'clock.

The auditorium is closed and no one is allowed to enter.

The 1,200 seats were all filled, and even this was not enough, and the dozen or so Peking University students who came in last had no place and could only stand on the other side of the aisle, but they still didn't leave, no one left, and even if they were standing, they stared at the rostrum.

Time's up.

A female staff member tried the microphone, and then said, "Teacher Zhang Ye, please." ”

The reporter didn't react, and the teachers and professors who came to Peking University didn't react much, but the students of Peking University applauded one by one, very warmly!

Zhang Ye came out.

The female staff member gave him the microphone and went down herself.

Walking behind the podium, Zhang Ye plugged in the microphone and looked at the dense crowd below, he smiled slightly, of course he would not have stage fright, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, because of a little situation, today was temporarily changed to an open class, and the first time I stood on this podium as a lecturer, I was actually very nervous." ”

Students: "Hahaha! ”

Zhang Ye was puzzled: "Isn't this a joke?" ”

Students: "Hahahahaha! "Laughed even louder.

Zhang Ye was speechless, really speechless, "Okay, your laughter is really low." ”

This is inertia, many people have watched "Zhang Ye's Talk Show" and formed a habit, as long as they see Zhang Ye talking, they are a little happy.

Take a good class, don't become a talk show, Zhang Ye also quickly put away his expression, what he is doing today is not a host, but a lecturer, "I told my students before, my class, there is not so much attention, everyone can ask questions or express their own opinions at any time, reason, the more you argue, the clearer it is, of course, this is only limited to my students, others for any reason, please don't disturb my lecture, thank you for your cooperation, this is said at the front." This was clearly said to reporters.

"Then ......" Zhang Ye looked at the dozen or so Peking University students who were still standing in the aisle, "Comrade reporter here, can you please give up a seat for the students?" ”

The reporters were stunned.

"Huh?"

"Give up your seat?"

No way! It's a blast when you come up!

Zhang Ye said as a matter of course: "There are not enough seats, so you can't let the students who are listening to the class stand, right?" This is the school, and the students must always be given priority, thank you. "Don't offend reporters if you offend anyone, this is a very popular saying in the industry, but Zhang Ye doesn't have this concept, he is now a teacher, and he puts students first.

Chang Kaige nodded slightly, and several other Peking University professors also felt that it should be.

But some reporters didn't move, thinking that Zhang Ye was too much.

An old reporter looked at the students over there, got up and said, "Son, sit here." ”

"Teacher Zhang is right, come on." A female reporter also got up and got out of the way.

The dozen or so Peking University students were all hot in their hearts, and after a few polite gestures, they still sat down, while the dozen or so reporters stood in the aisle.

Zhang Ye nodded and said, "Thank you, please also ask the staff to move a few chairs for the reporter comrades, hehe, everyone had better have seats." Speaking of this, seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Actually, my subconscious meaning is whether you can move a chair for me, okay, when I didn't say it, I guess I won't let it." ”

"Hehehehe......" everyone laughed.

Can you do it! You've seen a few teachers sitting and lecturing!

Zhang Ye pinched the humor very well, this is not a talk show, nor is it a TV show, naturally you can't use those funny jokes, but it's too strict and not quite Zhang Ye's style, edutainment, so he put the humor down a layer and interjected a few sentences with a little bit of water, all within a reasonable range.

After arranging these, the class was quiet, everyone was waiting to listen to the main class, and the first question they were most concerned about was nothing more than what Zhang Ye was going to talk about.

Eat the old Ben and say the Three Kingdoms?

Or try the Water Margin Westward Journey?

Even Vice Principal Wu Zeqing below was curious.

Then, I saw Zhang Ye holding the podium, looking at everyone and said: "So, today's "Appreciation of Classical Classics" class officially began, and when it comes to classical masterpieces, in fact, the scope of this section is very wide, but I want to know what everyone's first impression of this course is?" Who's going to talk about that? ”

Several people raised their hands.

Zhang Ye clicked on someone he knew.

Senior Zhou stood up and said loudly: "My first impression is that this course is about the Three Kingdoms Water Margin and Journey to the West, so that we can have a deeper understanding of these classical literatures, study and understand the wisdom of the ancients, and apply what we have learned." ”

"Okay, please take a seat." Zhang Ye pressed his hand and continued: "Many people probably have this idea, the Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, and the Journey to the West, probably these three masterpieces constitute the elective course of "Appreciation of Classical Masterpieces", not only Peking University, but also other universities, speaking of which, I believe some people must be very puzzled, there are obviously four of the four famous works of the Republic, why is "Dream of Red Mansions" alone not mentioned? ”

Yes? Red Mansion?

How do you talk about this!

Of course no one touches it! Don't you need to ask!

Everyone was stunned, they all looked at it as a matter of course, and they didn't understand why Zhang Ye suddenly mentioned this!

Yan Jiantao, Chang Kaige, Zhen Shuquan and others were also shocked, and an extremely bad premonition appeared in their hearts, wouldn't they?

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Many people know the reason, in everyone's opinion, although "Dream of Red Mansions" is a masterpiece, there are many problems in it, there are countless mysteries and flaws that cannot be solved, and even logical flaws, so whether it is a lecture program on TV or a university literature course, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a paragraph that people try to avoid in every possible way, and no professor or lecturer will even teach the appreciation of "Dream of Red Mansions" in universities. This is a piece of literary prohibition that no one wants to touch! Don't you get rid of it! ”

"Huh?"

"What does that mean?"

"Zhang Ye's words are ......"

Everyone was stunned.

Chang Kaige's face sank, "What is Xiao Zhang going to do!" ”

The corners of Wu Zeqing's eyebrows also jumped, but he still had a graceful expression and did not speak.

"Everyone thought I was going to retalk about the Three Kingdoms, but in "Three Kingdoms", I said everything I should say, and I don't want to repeat it." Zhang Ye held the microphone and said in an astonishing voice: "Someone has already guessed, yes, this semester's "Appreciation of Classical Masterpieces" class, I just want to teach the appreciation of "Dream of Red Mansions", not coarsely, but carefully, down to a few words, down to chewing words, not a competition, not to carry it, not to argue with the education and academic circles, I just want everyone to know that "Dream of Red Mansions" is not something that no one dares to say, and this masterpiece is not as simple as everyone sees. There's a shocking secret hidden! ”
