The full text of this translation is about 2,800 words, and it took Qin Ge about an hour to complete the creation of the entire fairy tale.

After browsing it roughly and finding that there were no typos, Qin Ge thought about handing in the paper in advance.

But what surprised Qin Ge was that when he raised his hand to hand in the report, Yang Zhenyun said, "Okay, take the test paper." ”

In the examination room, all the students raised their heads one after another when they heard this:, what's the situation, did someone cheat or what?

When Qin Ge heard this, he touched his nose a little embarrassedly, packed up his things, picked up the answer sheet and walked to the podium.

"Show me the article, what? Turning in the paper so early, how sure you are? What was written? Yang Zhenyun lowered his voice slightly and asked.

Yes! Submit papers?

All the students were stunned, how long has it been? That's it?

Well? Why is it him again? Submit the paper ahead of schedule?

This was the idea of the students who were in the same examination room as Qin Ge before, and they were all a little stunned when they saw that Qin Ge was the first to hand in the papers.

"Yes, it's okay, I wrote a fairy tale." Qin Ge handed the answer sheet to Yang Zhenyun and said a little shyly.

"Fairy tales? Alright, you go out first. ”

Yang Zhenyun was quite surprised when he heard that Qin Ge had written a fairy tale, and after taking the answer sheet, he never looked at Qin Ge again, and waved his hand to let Qin Ge out, obviously, he now wants to see how Qin Ge connects the visible with the invisible and the fairy tale.

When Qin Ge heard this, he pursed his lips and walked out of the classroom helplessly.

"Alright, don't look at it, everyone! Hurry up and write first. Zhao Zhirong saw that the students were all looking at Qin Ge's back in a daze, and stood up and said.

The expression on Zhao Zhirong's face was a little tangled, he was itching, and he wanted to step forward to see what Qin Ge had written. But seeing that Yang Zhenyun had read Qin Ge's article without hearing anything outside the window, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, this is a competition field, it doesn't matter if Yang Zhenyun sits on it and watches, it will be a little bad to join in the fun by himself.

So, Zhao Zhirong was worthy of holding back the curiosity and expectation in his heart and sat down again.

Yang Zhenyun didn't know what Zhao Zhirong was thinking, he picked up Qin Ge's answer sheet and couldn't wait to take a look at the question first: Huh? "The Emperor's New Clothes"? I can't see anything from the title alone, so let's look at the content.

Thinking like this, Yang Zhenyun turned his gaze to the text: Many years ago, there was an emperor who did not hesitate to spend all his money in order to dress beautifully. He cared neither for his army, nor for the plays, nor for the carriage to the park—except to show off his new clothes. He had to change his clothes every hour of every day. When people mention him, they always say, "The emperor is in the dressing room." ”

Just looking at the beginning, it is indeed a fairy tale, as for how to connect it with seeing and not seeing, Yang Zhenyun really didn't see it.

So he went on to look down: one day, two liars came to his capital, claiming to be weavers, saying that they could weave the most beautiful cloth in the world. Not only is the cloth beautiful in color and pattern, but the sewn garment has a strange property: it is invisible to anyone who is incompetent or incorrigibly stupid.

Here it comes! Here it comes! Inexplicably, Yang Zhenyun was a little excited, he seemed to have guessed something from the last sentence of the second paragraph, his hair actually stood up unconsciously, he hadn't felt like this for a long time in his memory, excitement, anticipation, surprise, even the articles of those newcomers he had written comments on before didn't give him such a feeling.

For a while, he had extremely high expectations for the rest of this fairy tale, and at the same time he was a little afraid, afraid that Qin Ge would not be able to control this article.

However, Qin Ge did not disappoint him in the end, when the whole fairy tale was completely read, Yang Zhenyun's heart could only be described in two words, that is, shock.

He was really shocked, and this "The Emperor's New Clothes" was impeccable from the beginning to the end.

He originally thought the first paragraph was ordinary, but when he read the full text, he didn't know how wonderful it was.

From the first paragraph, Qin Ge boldly used exaggerated techniques to write that the emperor likes to dress up, to what extent? to the point where you have to change your clothes every day and every hour; Spending almost every moment in the dressing room, spending all the money just to dress nicely; He never even cared about his army, only about his new clothes.

It is with such an exaggerated tone that not only gives the reader an idea of the arrogance and vanity of this incompetent emperor at the beginning, but also logically succeeds in launching the whole deception.

The text is naturally not said, it is very exciting, very interesting, and the imagination of the ending is also very logical.

At the end of the story, the emperor not only realizes that he has made a fool of himself, but also fears that the people will say that he is incompetent and that he is too stupid, and the ministers are also selfish, and these corrupt rulers will never automatically give up their power and admit the truth, so the center of the essay topic points out "the visible and the invisible".

I can't see the emperor's clothes, but I can see the vanity of the emperor and the officials.

Especially this passage: the emperor trembles a little, because he feels that what the people are saying seems to be true. But he thought to himself, 'I have to finish this procession.' So he put on a more proud look. His courtiers followed him, holding a non-existent skirt in their hands."

This passage profoundly exposes the hypocrisy of the emperor and officials, and criticizes the ugly nature of officialdom as hypocritical, treacherous, and stupid.

Yang Zhenyun unconsciously analyzed this fairy tale paragraph by paragraph.

Genius, really genius!

Yang Zhenyun did not hesitate to praise Qin Ge in his heart.

To be able to write such an article, you need to have a certain amount of experience, you need to precipitate, and you need to have studied and pondered human nature, which ordinary writers can't do at all. And this contains a reflection on human nature, and the article on social observation would actually come from the hand of a seventeen-year-old boy.

If he hadn't seen this article written by Qin Ge in front of him with his own eyes, he would never have believed it anyway.

If the previous "Hurry" was more of a description of personal feelings, then this "The Emperor's New Clothes" is undoubtedly an exploration of the entire society, including the old society and the modern society, whether it is foreign or Chinese.

Yang Zhenyun raised his head, his eyes were a little distracted, from Qin Ge's fairy tale, he couldn't help but think of the current society. Such officials, deceitful and stupid rulers, exist in any age, and this one is no exception.

Therefore, Qin Ge's article will undoubtedly become a classic that transcends time and space and borders.

Such articles will not fade no matter how long time has passed, because such articles are relevant at all times.

Sure enough, there are talented people from all over the country!

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenyun's idea of recruiting Qin Ge to Jiaotong University became strong again, he really liked this boy too much, and he wanted to help him go longer and farther on the road of literature.

Although he knew that with Qin Ge's talent, as long as he wanted to, then he could easily open a channel in the literary circle. But if he has his own help, he can undoubtedly make fewer detours, and he also wants to see how far Qin Ge can go in his lifetime; He wanted to know what was in the heart of this handsome, shy, and polite young man?
