Chapter 309: A Brief History of Zhu Chongba's Counterattack
After handing in the papers, the candidates are explained that they can move freely, but they must not go too far. Because the results will be estimated later, success and failure will be known in an instant.
After Lu Zelin walked away with the scroll, Zhou Chao stood on the podium, condescendingly looked at everyone and said. "You can move around the neighborhood, but don't go far, it's okay, it's better to wait in this classroom, because, it won't be too long, the paper will be finished, and then a separate interview will be arranged for everyone, this is the fateful moment, I hope everyone can pay attention to it."
Hearing Lu Zelin say this, most people didn't dare to act rashly, and still stayed in their positions honestly.
It's a bit boring to just stay in the classroom and wait stupidly.
Xiao Fei thought to himself.
He got up and walked out of the classroom, first went to the toilet to put water, and then stood in a remote corner of the courtyard and smoked a cigarette.
While he was standing there smoking, several students walked past him after class with books in their arms. One of them casually glanced at Xiao Fei and exclaimed in surprise: "Teacher Xiao?!" Yikes! Why are you here? β
Teacher Xiao? Is it called yourself?
Xiao Fei was stunned.
He raised his eyes and looked over, and found that the other party was really an acquaintance who had a relationship β, so he said with a smile: "It turned out to be a broken army, fortunately, I will be lucky!" I came over today for an exam. β
This unexpected encounter was the young critic Liu Pojun, who had written critical articles on Xiao Fei's works and participated in seminars on Xiao Fei's works.
The two don't know each other.
"Pojun, who is he? I heard you call him teacher, is it the counselor from our department? You're too young, aren't you? A student who was with Liu Pojun looked at Xiao Fei and said.
"Haha. Let me introduce you to you, this is Xiao Fei. Everyone seems to have read "The Fish Walking on Land" and "Bright Sword" written by him, and he is also the youngest winner of the Chong Liwen Award. Liu Pojun said with a smile.
"Oh. It turned out that he was Xiao Fei. β
"Looks like he's still a middle school student, right? The age is about the same as ours, or even as old as us, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call him a teacher directly? β
"Xiao Fei, are you not coming to take the special recruitment exam today?"
After listening to Liu Pojun's introduction, the students talked very reservedly.
Xiao Feixin said that he is worthy of being a student of Peking University, all of them are arrogant and arrogant, and he wants them to worship someone. It's not easy to become someone's brainless fan.
When Liu Pojun learned that Xiao Fei really came to participate in the special recruitment examination of the Department of History of Peking University, he was very excited and said excitedly: "That's really good, we can meet and chat often in the future." β
Xiao Fei said a few words to Liu Pojun, and then the two sides said goodbye.
Besides, Lu Zelin returned to the office with the roll.
There, Vice President Lin's Chinese Department and head Cao Zizheng were already waiting.
Since it is an independent special recruitment exam. In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the examination, it is not up to the history department to decide on its own, but it is still necessary to have an examination marking supervision team or something.
Vice President Lin and Professor Cao are members of this group.
Lu Zelin divided the volume into three equal parts, six portions per person. Everyone reviews separately, and after one person approves it, they exchange and check each other.
Because this exam is only an article. Lu Zelin drew up the criteria for judging himself.
The first requirement is: the richness and completeness of the historical materials of Zhu Yuanzhang's life, that is. In this biography, it is necessary to involve the major historical events that Zhu Yuanzhang has done and presided over in his life.
This is a perfect score of 40 points.
Be able to accurately write more than 10 major events. Even if it is a full score, less than ten, one less will deduct 4 points, until the deduction is exhausted.
The second requirement is: the biography should be stylish, logical, and easy to read. This is also 40 points.
The third requirement is: to have a comprehensive judgment of Zhu Yuanzhang. This item is worth 20 points.
The first scroll Lu Zelin looked at was Xiao Fei's.
Xiao Fei's answer sheet has a total of seven pages of manuscript paper, and he holds it in a thick pile in his hand. Lu Zelin put on his reading glasses and put the scroll on the table.
When he saw the title, he couldn't help but laugh a little: "A Brief History of Zhu Chongba's Counterattack"
Zhu Yuanzhang's real name is Zhu Baba, of course Lu Zelin knows.
The point is that the word "counterattack" is too fresh, and he has never seen it before. But literally, Lu Zelin can also know that counterattack refers to a person rising up in adversity and achieving success.
Then there is the beginning of this article, which is even more innovative.
Xiao Fei first gave Zhu Yuanzhang a resume, which was written in a flat and stable format, but the content was witty and funny, especially the sentence "Yours is mine, mine is still mine" made Lu Zelin laugh directly.
This Xiao Fei! is so talented, just write it casually, and you can write such a short biography of a historical figure so interesting. This writing skill is estimated to be achieved by few people in the academic circle of history!
"Mr. Lu, what are you laughing at?" Lin Nanwu raised his head and asked curiously.
And Cao Zizheng just frowned and continued to look at the roll in his hand.
"Principal Lin, the articles written by this student are so interesting, and there are really too few such talents who can write academic articles so interesting." Lu Zelin replied.
"Oh, is it? Whose roll is it? I'll take a look at it later. Lin Nanwu said.
"It's a student named 'Xiao Fei', and I'll show it to Principal Lin after I've reviewed it." Lu Zelin said.
Xiao Fei?
Lin Nanwu suddenly came to his senses, of course he knew who Xiao Fei was, this kid was recommended by him, and for a while, he felt a sense of excitement and honor in his heart.
"Well, I'll have to take a good look at it later." Lin Nan has no way.
Cao Zizheng heard Xiao Fei's words, but his brows furrowed even tighter, and he also knew that after Xiao Fei was rejected by himself, he finally accepted the opportunity to take the special examination of the Department of History.
He was a little disappointed by that.
Cao Zizheng thinks that Xiao Fei is still young and vigorous, and you are a young writer with rich creative achievements who did not go to the Chinese Department of Peking University, which ranks first in China, but ran to the history department, isn't this self-willingly degenerate?
Such a short-sighted, utilitarian, and hard-hearted student who can't stand the slightest setback, even if he is really talented, is destined to be short-lived and can't go far!
Although Cao Zizheng thought so, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said: "For the sake of being interesting and interesting, sometimes it is inevitable that the realm is superficial. β
Lu Zelin listened, just smiled, and continued to bury his head in Xiao Fei's article.
He found that in addition to being humorous, Xiao Fei's article was very compact, well-detailed, and rich in content, dividing Zhu Yuanzhang's life into several major stages to narrate and comment.
The narrative almost touches on the major events of Zhu Yuanzhang's life, and although most of the comments are clichΓ©s, they are valuable because they can speak new and interesting.
After reading the whole article, Lu Zelin's heart was very excited.
From this article, he found that Xiao Fei has bad advantages, first, Xiao Fei has a solid grasp of historical materials, and he has dabbled in many events and contents that are not in history books.
This is too rare for a child who grew up in the countryside and studied in a small county.
Second, the combination of Xiao Fei's excellent writing and historical style has such a great readability, and the boring historical materials have been processed by his magic hands, which suddenly glows with great attraction.
These two points have already made Lu Zelin full of ecstasy: I haven't seen such a talent for many years!
Lu Zelin decided that he wanted Xiao Fei to be the first place in this special interview for the history department!
Lu Zelin read the other volumes quickly.
And Lin Nanwu and Cao Zizheng also finished approving a few papers in their hands. The three exchanged test papers and conducted a review.
Finally, they sat down together and started discussing.
"I think Xiao Fei's article "A Brief History of Zhu Chongba's Counterattack" can be judged to be the best this time, what do President Lin and Director Cao think?" Lu Zelin said.
"I also think that this one is the best, it is interesting, comprehensive and in-depth, and this kind of talent is exactly what our school needs." Lin Nanwu also said.
Cao Zizheng opened his mouth and said: "I still have that sentence, the writing is really interesting, but the realm is very shallow, I am afraid it is not appropriate to list it as the best, like Zheng Xingyu's "Ming Taizu Benji" written in literary language, the full text is only more than 1,300 words, but the writing is clear, describing Zhu Yuanzhang's life, and his narrative is also full of ancient meaning and magnificent, and the comments are very innovative, I think it can be regarded as the best in this exam. β
"In addition, there is also a biography of Zhu Yuanzhang written in English by Cui Yongfeng, I also took a closer look, his English writing ability is too strong, the words are exquisite and accurate, and what is written is closely around Zhu Yuanzhang and his person, the article is very good, and it should be the second in this exam."
"As for Xiao Fei, I think his article can only be regarded as interesting with meat, and deliberately uses unintelligible words and phrases to sensationalize, which is very harmful to the rigorous historiography."
Is this a blatant crossing of the line?!
Lu Zelin frowned, can you use your Chinese department to dictate the affairs of your history department?
"Director Cao, the two people you said are also good, very good, but compared with Xiao Fei, they are still a step behind, I think, Xiao Fei is first, Zheng Xingyu is second, Cui Yongfeng is third, so let's do it." Lin Nanwu said.
"I agree." Lu Zelin said.
"Huh!" Cao Zizheng sneered, "Principal Lin, Director Lu, don't you think?" Although Xiao Fei's article is humorous and funny, its tone is not too smooth! It always gives people a sense of discontinuity, such a far-fetched work, is it too unfair to other students to be so highly regarded by you? β
The problem Cao Zizheng said was exactly what Xiao Fei was worried about.
After all, this article is excerpted and compressed, and it is indeed suspected that the connection is not natural enough.
But in general, this problem is not particularly prominent. This can only be felt unless the viewer is sensitive to the subject matter of the text.
Lu Zelin was stunned when he heard Cao Zizheng's words, and when he heard Cao Zizheng say this, he also realized this
