Dean Xiao Kewen walked out of the fifth examination room.

Originally, he wanted to see how Su Wen wrote the ending of "The Gift of the Magi", but he was not interested for the time being, and his heart had a feeling of being filled, like a frog eating before hibernation, and he was so full that he could no longer eat it.

Just because I watched "Generation"!

As soon as he saw those two short verses, he could no longer linger, haunting his mind and talking to his soul.

The night gave me black eyes,

I use it to find the light!

For so many years, since he became famous, Xiao Kewen has never read such shocking and moving words!

This time, he was touched, and there was always a voice whispering in his heart, and his mind was full of the words "night", "eyes", and "light", and he couldn't figure out a clue.

As the president of the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association and the dean of the College of Letters, Xiao Kewen has experienced dozens of literary rematches, but he dares to say that this time he was the most touched, and the only time he was moved by more than a dozen words on the spot!

As a veteran literary senior, although he is not a participant in the provincial literary semi-final proposition, he can speak when the topic is finally decided.

This time, the two topics were submitted after discussion by the following people, and there are a lot of materials, such as the question "eyes", which gives many examples from ancient times to the present, and is to examine students' observation and perception of things, rather than really writing about eyes.

The topic of "Gifts" is the same, and several materials are also made to involve the stories of various gifts, and this topic is to examine how students arrange stories.

However, when it was finally decided, Xiao Kewen advocated that all these materials should be deleted, and it was directly a two-word topic, allowing students to play freely.

In this way, it is more free, but also a little restrictive, depending on the student's perspective.

Xiao Kewen didn't expect that someone would really write an article with the word "eye", and it was only two short sentences, but it was all-encompassing and rich in meaning.

Night and light are the eternal themes and the ultimate perception of human beings.

Su Wen only used two words, a dozen words, to write this feeling very thoroughly. This skill is incomprehensible even to Xiao Kewen.

He lost interest in continuing to watch other chapters!

In his heart, this year's literary semi-finals are enough to have "Generation"!

Li Daoming couldn't understand his mentality, as Xiao Kewen walked out of the examination room, seeing Xiao Lao go down the stairs all the way, he couldn't help but chase after him, and asked, "Xiao Lao, don't you read Su Wen's novel?" ”

Xiao Kewen turned his head and smiled slightly: "You mean "Maggie's Gift"? ”

Li Daoming nodded and said: "Just now he wrote that the protagonist sold his hair and bought gifts, and he should have written about half of it, I feel that there should be more exciting places in the future." ”

"You're right." Xiao Kewen agreed with Li Daoming's statement, "As long as the ending is well written, this is a very wonderful novel." I'm also looking forward to the end of it. However, no matter how wonderful and rich this novel is, it can only be amazing at best. There are more than 1,000 top students in each semi-finals, all of whom are amazing talents, and some of them can write excellent short stories. But the poem "One Generation" is different. Xiao Li, you also read this poem, what do you think? ”

"I ......" Li Daoming thought for a moment and said directly, "I just feel that my heart is touched, and I am very ...... Shock! ”

"That's right! Shock! Xiao Kewen's old face smiled brightly, his eyes were full of light, "The word shock is the highest evaluation for a literary and artistic work!" After reading "Generation", I can't read other articles for the time being. I want to savor the meaning of this poem. In this competition, "One Generation" is enough to crown the heroes! ”

"Teacher Xiao, what do you mean......" Li Daoming was surprised and delighted.

He was surprised that Xiao Kewen had given such a high rating to "Generation" early on.

Happily, such an article was written by students in their Guangdong City, doesn't that mean that the champion of this semi-final is none other than Su Wen?

Don't think that Li Daoming is making a fuss, because Xiao Kewen has a qualitative prestige and ability.

The semi-final time only lasts for four hours, after 12 noon, more than 100 judges will immediately enter the state of reading and reviewing, divided into 20 groups, spend three or four hours to read all the articles, and then each group will select the top five, a total of 100 submitted to the final judges, all the judges will read and score all the 100 articles, and finally the rankings will be ranked.

Basically, the final ranking can be announced around 6 p.m. on the same day.

The time is tight and the tasks are heavy, but the judges are all writers, editors and professors selected from all over the province, and the speed of review is not slow.

In order to avoid missing pearls, each teacher should read each article and score according to the standard, and the essay with the highest total score stands out, which can avoid some teachers from being unfair to students because of taste problems.

If there is a tie, then unify the test papers with the same score, and then draw different judges to read and score until the score is high.

Nominally, a group can only submit five articles, but sometimes it can be flexible, for example, all the judges feel that there are more outstanding articles besides the five, which is difficult to give up, and they can be submitted by the way, and the final judges will decide.

In a word, a good article can come out on its own!

Xiao Kewen is not only the final judge, but also can make key decisions at the most critical times, such as the final ranking, his opinion, everyone will respect.

In fact, the top 100 rankings, except for the top 10, the latter ones don't have much meaning, at most they are just mixing up the national finals.

The students who go up to participate in the finals in Guangdong Province are generally the top 10 people in the semi-finals who can get better results, and the rest depends on the probability.

Therefore, within the province, the competition between cities is to see who has the highest ranking in the top ten, or the number of the top ten.

As the vice president of the Guangdong Writers Association, Li Daoming naturally hopes that his city's achievements can be more prominent, so when he heard Xiao Kewen position Su Wen first in advance, the ecstasy was indescribable.

Xiao Kewen understood Li Daoming's mentality, and he did not shy away from it, and said seriously: "Xiao Li, don't think I'm favoritism, let alone think I'm old and confused." I dare to say that the poem "One Generation" can shock me, and naturally it can also shock the other judges. Unless there is a more shocking work born, it can't run away in the first place! Middle school students want to write shocking essays, but it is hard to find, within this class, can you expect anyone better than Su Wen? I don't think there will be anyone like that. Therefore, whoever dares to suppress "Generation", I will definitely not let him go! ”

With the words of Dean Xiao, Li Daoming was completely relieved and full of joy, only thinking that they could win the first place in Guangdong City in this semi-final, which was really happy.

The two went downstairs as they talked.

After more than half an hour or so, and there was still an hour or two before the end of the rematch, Li Daoming, who was swaying downstairs, vaguely saw Su Wen's figure.

He turned in his papers ahead of schedule!

Looking at his confident and upright figure, Li Daoming only felt that it was so pleasing to the eye.

But if Li Daoming and Xiao Kewen knew that Su Wen only handed in "Maggie's Gift" in the rematch this time, but took "Generation" out of the examination room, then they don't know what the expressions on their faces were.

It was also because of this misunderstanding that there was a lot of turmoil in the next half a day.
