Chapter 25 Essay Contest (4)
At the beginning of the second competition, the questioner was still Yan Jingkai, but today's Yan Jingkai's face was gloomy, and he seemed to have suffered some blow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yan Jingkai knocked on the podium with a dark face: "There is no topic today, there is only one request." That is to ask everyone to write an article in classical Chinese. Originally, I was against this proposal, but-" Yan Jingkai was silent for a while and said, "But the power of the organization is huge, and I can only give in." ”
Yun Chang next to him didn't see it well, and hurriedly interjected: "Although the country now advocates vernacular writing, it is undeniable that if you want to talk about short, concise, and beautiful words, it is still more advantageous to write Chinese. Moreover, to test a person's profound cultural skills, classical Chinese is the best touchstone. Therefore, our review team unanimously decided that this competition requires everyone to write an article in Chinese. Let's think about it and strive to write a better classical Chinese work. ”
"Wow-"
There was a commotion in the lecture hall.
The students who participated in the competition were a little confused, why did they still ask to write in classical Chinese?
When I came, I didn't hear of such a request!
Li Feiyang was also a little curious, looking at Yan Jingkai's demeanor just now, this seemed to be a temporarily decided test question, Yan Jingkai seemed to have an opposing opinion, but there were not one or two people who wrote the question, it seemed that Yan Jingkai's opposition was invalid, and he could only give in.
Li Feiyang thought to himself: It seems that there is something going on here! An essay contest can also develop to the point of intrigue, and this thing is getting more and more interesting!
The students who participated in the competition were very dissatisfied, which was obviously embarrassing!
Some of the bold students quarreled: "Why do you want to write in classical Chinese?" Now I suddenly ask to write a classical Chinese text, this is a surprise attack!"
"That is, who still writes in classical Chinese now, and now the textbooks we learn are all written in vernacular, and the teacher doesn't teach them, how can we write?"
Some students are quite politically minded: "The state is now advocating the promotion of vernacular language in cultural education, instead of promoting classical Chinese, and this is a confrontation with national policy!" It's a cultural regression! ”
Yun Chang sweated on his face, and knocked on the podium vigorously: "What are you arguing about!" It's against you! Still want to participate in the competition? If you still want to play, just be quiet! Besides, you are all at the same level, who is much worse than the other, you all write in classical Chinese, and you are not the only one of you, what is there to make a noise about? Now start the timer~"
The students present were all indignant, but they were all middle school students, and they still had a natural sense of awe for the teacher.
Li Feiyang watched coldly, and found that among the students present, there was a boy who was a little too quiet, and many students had an uneven look, only this boy had a calm face. At this time, this boy was blotting ink with a flat pen, and the manuscript paper on the table had been laid, and it seemed that he was going to prepare for writing.
Li Feiyang looked at him deeply and felt that this guy was a little abnormal.
Among all the students in the lecture hall, only he and Li Feiyang have been quiet and have not said anything against it.
Li Feiyang knows his own affairs, he is a human being in two lives, and this big thing will not make him moved. But this boy who looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old, how can he also have an expression of an old god?
Something must be wrong!
Today's competition is like the recruitment of civil servants in the previous life, if a good job is a good job, the children of the leader's family also want to enter, then the qualifications and requirements for the recruitment will begin to cater to the characteristics of the leader's children to recruit.
If the children of the leader can play the piano, then the recruitment examination will put forward requirements for the qualifications, and the applicant must be able to play the piano!
If the child of this leader is female, then the candidate must be female.
If the leader's child is an international student, then the applicant must be a student abroad.
If there are still people who meet these demanding requirements, then they will add that they must be locals, and if there are still people, then they will add a few years to a few years old.
Anyway, in the end, only the children of the leaders can be eligible.
Li Feiyang feels that today's game is a bit of a problem.
However, this is just speculation, there is no evidence, Li Feiyang is too lazy to think about it, so he should write an article first.
Classical Chinese writing is a challenge for most people in this world, but for Li Feiyang, it is a piece of cake.
The famous classical Chinese texts he had read in his previous life were not one or two, but how many were right. In Li Feiyang's previous life, the classical Chinese that could be handed down were basically classics.
Of course, it is impossible for the current Li Feiyang to come up with a classic article so casually.
But some interesting essays, which can also be called high-quality essays, can be written at this time.
Li Feiyang chose a short story in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", this short story can be called short and concise, and the more you watch it, the more charming it becomes. Add or delete a word, you will feel that you have lost a taste, just from such an article, you can see that the writer has a deep knowledge of classical Chinese and the conciseness of the pen.
Among all the ancient works that Li Feiyang has seen in his previous life, if the prose is beautiful and talented, "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" can be ranked in the top three.
The first is the "Historical Records" written by Sima Wen Shigong, the second is the "Peach Blossom Fan" written by Kong Shangren, and the third is Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai".
Among these three books, "Peach Blossom Fan" is a drama, "Historical Records" is a history book, and only "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is a real literary article.
Therefore, among all the classical Chinese articles watched by Li Feiyang in his previous life, "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" can be called the first.
No matter what other people's evaluation of these three books is, in Li Feiyang's own reading cognition, these three books can be regarded as truly representing the pinnacle achievements of ancient literature.
This short article is called "Three Rules of the Wolf", this article, tells three stories about wolves, Li Feiyang originally only wanted to take one of them, but after a story was written, the number of words was a little thin and scarce, and after thinking about it, he simply copied them all.
Along with the name of the original article, the title was written as "Three Rules of the Wolf".
After writing, hand in the paper and leave.
This time to write, Li Feiyang was the first person to hand in the papers and go out, and after he went out, there was another commotion in the lecture hall.
This time, the two invigilators on the podium were even more surprised than the previous one, which could be said to be Li Feiyang's high level of writing, and the questions were too ordinary to be difficult for him.
But this time, he was required to write in the form of classical Chinese, could it be that his attainment in classical Chinese was so high? In this world, can there really be people who rely on horses and a thousand words?
After receiving the manuscript paper handed over by Li Feiyang, Yan Jingkai slowly sat down on the chair and looked down.
When he saw the title of the article "Three Rules of the Wolf", Yan Jingkai was a little curious, what happened? Did you write three short essays?
He suppressed his doubts and slowly read from the beginning.
Li Feiyang's pen writing is extremely beautiful. The elegant small characters in one hand, like a little elf, danced one by one, and danced line by line along the small grid on the manuscript paper.
Just looking at this font makes people feel unusually comfortable.
Yun Changzai also helped his glasses and poked his head over, he was also very curious about Li Feiyang's article.
Yan Jing glanced at him, turned his body around, and turned his back to Yun Chang from the side, which meant that he didn't want Yun Chang to watch.
Yun Changzai smiled bitterly, sat down in his chair, and stopped looking over. Yun Changzai didn't care much about Yan Jingkai's behavior of being angry like a child just now, but he knew that this old classmate did have an opinion about him.
Yesterday, after reviewing the students' works, most people were optimistic about the article "People Who Don't Lie" written by Li Feiyang, and Yan Jingkai even strongly supported this article and asked him to be listed as the first place.
However, there was a special situation, the day before yesterday Liu Guoqiang, director of the Provincial Department of Education, came to inspect, when the competition was going on, Liu Guoqiang was not good to go in and speak or anything, just looked in through the window, and then, he found a familiar person, it turned out that He Dingyang, the grandson of He Yunshan, secretary of the provincial party committee, also participated in the competition, but no one knew in advance.
Liu Guoqiang has been to He Yunshan's house several times, so he knows He Dingyang.
He Yunshan is very fond of He Dingyang, the grandson, and often praises He Dingyang in front of outsiders. And He Dingyang is indeed competitive, he has been very good at learning since he was a child, and under the influence of He Dingyang, he is also quite accomplished in ancient Chinese poetry, and is called a little writer by the people in the compound. This incident has also become a beautiful talk in the courtyard, because Liu Guoqiang has a deep memory of He Dingyang.
Liu Guoqiang thought that he had read it wrong, and when the article of the competition was handed over to the school's review team, Liu Guoqiang specially checked it, and after seeing He Dingyang's name, he knew that he had read it correctly.
Liu Guoqiang didn't expect the grandson of the provincial party secretary to also come to participate in the competition, and he said that the officialdom was a little more hesitant.
It's okay that Liu Guoqiang didn't recognize He Dingyang, but since he recognized it, he can't be regarded as not knowing. Now that you know, you have to do something.
There are two most effective ways for lower-level cadres to tie up with the upper-level leaders, one is to tie up with the leader's wife, and the other is to tie up with the leader's children or grandchildren.
Now is a good time to talk to He Yunshan, Liu Guoqiang made instructions in the office of the audit team: "I will see He Dingyang, this child!" Well written! Even if I won the first place in our Central and South Province essay competition, I feel wronged by him!"
Liu Guoqiang took the manuscript written by He Dingyang in his hand, patted the table and said: "Such a good article, if you don't win the first, what kind of article is qualified to be called the first?" Yes? I've read all the articles here, and this article is well written, this classmate named He Dingyang is very literate, I think he is the first among so many people! ”
Liu Guoqiang looked at the many reviewers and said: "Dingyang, this kid, I am more familiar, his ability is obvious to all in our compound, especially his attainments in ancient literature, many adults can't compare!" I suggest that the topic of the next exam should be asked to ask the participating students to write an essay in classical Chinese, and only by writing a smooth essay in classical Chinese can a person's literary level be truly revealed. ”
After Liu Guoqiang said these words, he left in a hurry because he was too busy with work and did not have lunch.
Although Liu Guoqiang didn't say anything in detail, he actually made it very clear, as an adult with normal IQ and EQ, everyone understands what Liu Guoqiang wants to express?
It seems that this is called He Dingyang's student, and his background is not simple.
After Liu Guoqiang left, the review team began to have controversy, Yan Jingkai is an old qualified literati, with a big temper and a straight personality, although he can see what Liu Guoqiang means, but Yan Jingkai doesn't like him at all.
Yan Jingkai himself is an old professor at the provincial university, students are all over the country, and there are many people with status, although the director of the education department is not small, but he is not in the eyes of the old man.
However, others are not good, most of the members of the team that make up the review of articles are educators in the provincial capital, and a few are several editors-in-chief of newspapers and periodicals in the provincial capital, and the lineup can be said to be very luxurious and powerful.
But this lineup is strong for the literary circles of Central South Province, but it is not enough for the education department.
Most of them are engaged in education, and if they offend the boss of their own department, they will definitely not have a better life in the future.
Therefore, the tone has been greatly changed, and Li Feiyang's article was originally listed as the first place, and now He Dingyang's article is listed as the first place.
Fortunately, He Dingyang, a student, has indeed a strong writing ability, even if it is a little worse than Li Feiyang's works, but it is not as bad as a distance of 108,000 miles, this thing is not very obvious, if after a while, no one pays attention, maybe it will pass.
Yun Changzai belonged to one of the people who favored He Dingyang to be ranked first, so he had been an old friend Yan Jingkai for many years.
However, he also has his difficulties, he has reached the age of retirement, and several children are also engaged in education in the provincial capital, if he offends the upper leaders in the system, it doesn't matter if he suffers a loss, but if it affects the children, it is not worth it.
Therefore, in the face of strength, he had to give in.
Although Yan Jingkai understood his helplessness, he still found it difficult to forgive this old classmate and friend for many years.
Originally, the questions of the competition were to be temporarily issued by the members of the review team, and there would be no pre-arranged questions to avoid leakage.
However, today he had to follow Liu Guoqiang's intention to ask many participating students to write in classical Chinese, Yan Jingkai was extremely opposed, but the opposition was ineffective.
Yan Jingkai is very optimistic about Li Feiyang, and he has been paying attention to this student since Li Feiyang saw his first article in the competition.
The indifference and depth of the expression in Li Feiyang's works made him very curious.
It is surprising that a middle school student can express this kind of deep and open-minded feeling that can only be experienced after the precipitation of time in his works.
From the very beginning, Yan Jingkai was very confident that Li Feiyang could win the first place.
But now there is a student named He Dingyang.
The entire review team has made compromises, and Yan Jingkai is helpless no matter how angry he is.
Now Yan Jingkai only asks Li Feiyang to write the article better, and it is better, so good that it is put together with the articles of many students, just like a pearl on a pile of dung balls, a camel standing in a flock of chickens and ducks, not a star and a half higher than all the articles, at that time, even if someone is trying to make it bad, they have to consider a little impact, and they will also have some concerns.
After silently reading Li Feiyang's "Three Rules of the Wolf", Yan Jingkai showed a smile on his fat face, and after handing the manuscript to Liu Guoqiang, he stretched his waist, walked out of the lecture hall, and looked up into the distance, the sun was in the middle of the sky, and the sunlight was dazzling.
