Chapter 58: The Unexpected
Su Yinmeng didn't expect Xiao Yuan to complete the composition so quickly, she always felt that the other party regarded "writing" as a thing of the same nature as "doing questions".
In any case, it is better to write quickly than slowly, and the submission date for new concept essays is indeed approaching, and many contestants submit multiple manuscripts at once in order to successfully pass this extremely difficult preliminary competition.
Like Xiao Yuan, who only votes for one article, in Su Yinmeng's opinion, it is still difficult for her to stand out.
But now she is only in her first year of high school, and this time she is participating in the water, and she is participating in Group B instead of Group A, which is more competitive, so this is her advantage for Xiao Yuan.
Of course, in any case, the quality of the article is what matters.
With some strong expectations, Su Yinmeng once again carefully read Xiao Yuan's "Stray Orphan" in the study at home.
Originally, Su Yinmeng saw the title of this essay and thought that Xiao Yuan was writing the story of a wandering orphan from the perspective of a bystander.
Frankly speaking, this kind of realistic essay that focuses on the disadvantaged is not very in line with the trend of new concept essays in recent years.
In fact, it is difficult for high school students to write articles that deeply concern the disadvantaged, they write about their own families, campus life, the bright sorrow of adolescence, and the showmanship, which is what they are good at.
They can't be blamed for this limitation, how many high school students have access to the most disadvantaged groups at the bottom of society?
The materials that are only understood and accumulated through the Internet and news will definitely lack real details when written, and naturally they will not be able to show anything profound.
However, out of trust in Xiao Yuan's writing talent, Su Yinmeng still read it patiently, and as a result, she showed a surprised look.
It turned out that Xiao Yuan's article was not written about the homeless orphan from the perspective of a bystander at all, but the "I" in the article became a homeless orphan.
Su Yinmeng furrowed her good-looking brows, she was a little worried about the quality of Xiao Yuan's article.
Originally, she thought that this would be a realistic composition, but now it is certain that it is completely fictional, after all, Xiao Yuan is not an orphan, and she has never wandered.
However, as Su Yinmeng continued to read, her brows gradually relaxed......
She thought that Xiao Yuan's work would lose its most precious authenticity and would appear floating, like a castle in the air, but it was clear that she had made a wrong judgment.
Xiao Yuan's articles hardly have any lyrical, flirtatious sentences, nor any subjective, sympathetic to the weak, she just narrates the story of "me" concisely, accurately and objectively.
Obviously, as the "I" of the wandering orphan in the article, she has been suffering since she was born, but she has not succumbed to suffering, she has always had a tenacity to live to death and a sense of happiness in suffering.
She just wanted to live.
Su Yinmeng didn't know when she started, she didn't read this article from the perspective of a teacher, but became a pure reader.
After the "I" in the article started her wandering career, Su Yinmeng only felt that the article was getting better and better, and she felt that she was watching a story of survival in the wilderness, but there was no wilderness in the story, only the city.
The more she reads, the more she feels that the "I" in this article seems to really exist somewhere, and is still wandering, who makes the details in the article so realistic, if she doesn't know Xiao Yuan, she will even think that the author of this article has indeed experienced this.
And obviously she thinks she should be full of sympathy for the "me" in the article, but why does she feel more and more when she reads it?
She suddenly realized that she was actually infected by the silly and naïve optimism of "me" in the article, but every time "I" found delicious food, such as KFC and McDonald's discarded by others, that sense of happiness was so real!
In any case, it is probably like a person who is always hungry and eats everything deliciously, and some very poor places even regard instant noodle seasoning packets as a precious tonic.
The people who are most contented are those who have nothing.
It's a pity that Su Yinmeng's joy of reading didn't last long, and the trafficker plot behind it is really sadistic!
Su Yinmeng may have been too deeply involved, and she always felt that her eyes were also blinded by traffickers......
How could she use such an objective and indifferent text to write such a cruel and true plot!
Su Yinmeng felt more and more that Lin Yun's psychological problems were very serious, and that kind of self-destructive tendency could not be faked!
But the other party's writing talent made Su Yinmeng really feel it again this time!
She has never seen other high school students who can use such a perspective to write such a real and moving article, and this method of writing mourning with music has been used by the other party to the peak!
In the end, the ending of the article, of course, also made Su Yinmeng uncomfortable to death, she would rather Xiao Yuan could give the "me" in the article a happy time, or let "me" finally escape from the clutches of the trafficking group, but the cruelest part of the article is that "I" is still trying hard and tenacious to live.
As a reader, Su Yinmeng is very uncomfortable, but she has to admit that from the author's point of view, this ending may be the most realistic and tragic.
In reality, no justice will prevail, tragedy is there, it happens all the time, and it cannot be avoided.
Since you live in this world, you can't avoid groveling to anyone, and then step by step, squeezing others to climb hard, and there is no other way.
Su Yinmeng had already made up the "deep meaning" at the end of Xiao Yuan, but she didn't know that it was purely because Xiao Yuan felt that the number of words was enough, so she didn't bother to write it again, and her "composition homework" could already be handed in.
Su Yinmeng didn't change a word, and sent it out for the competition, she felt that this article would definitely be stable if it passed the preliminary round directly.
If none of these essays pass the preliminary round, the judges of the new concept essay will be blind.
However, the development of things can be said to have made Su Yinmeng unexpected!
Of course, the judges of the new concept essay are not blind, but too discerning!
The judge who first reviewed it for this "Stray Orphan" was the editor in charge of "Sprout" magazine, a woman named Qin Lei, who couldn't calm down for a long time after reading this article.
Qin Lei not only recommended this article to the above, which made it eighty percent more likely to pass the preliminary round, but she even wanted to publish it directly in the next issue of "Sprout" magazine!
She even had the urge to call the police at one point, because she was very skeptical that there really was such a heinous and outrageous trafficker group in a certain city!
She resisted the urge to call the police and contacted the author of this article as soon as possible......
