Chapter 36: Smile
In addition to the small episodes in the process of marking the mathematics subject, an incident also happened in the process of marking the Chinese composition, and of course it is also related to Xiao Yuan.
Who makes Xiao Yuan's essay "Facing Difficulties" so different?
And the one who happened to read this essay was a particularly emotional female teacher, her name is Su Yinmeng, judging from this name, you can feel her female literary temperament.
Su Yinmeng was born in a happy family of high-level intellectuals, her father is a university professor majoring in literature, and her mother is a well-known children's literature writer, a member of the Chinese Writers Association, and the vice chairman of the Linhai Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Su Yinmeng, who was born in this kind of family, has a very high literary literacy, but also very emotional, and will be sad at every turn, her favorite book is "Dream of Red Mansions", and her favorite character is Lin Daiyu, she can cry when she watches the "Daiyu Burial Flower" paragraph......
Su Yinmeng, who has never suffered before, naturally can't see other people suffering, she often has a heart overflowing, just because reaching out to the miserable can make her feel very satisfied.
In addition to working as a language teacher in a foreign Chinese language school, Su Yinmeng also writes novels on the Internet to entertain herself, but unfortunately she is a street writer, and there are often sporadic readers in the book review area who scold the protagonist she writes for being too virgin, too literati, and too pretentious, she will reply to readers one by one very seriously, wanting to educate readers in this way, which is probably an occupational disease as a teacher.
All of this can be seen that Su Yinmeng is a particularly naïve person, but her teaching strength should not be underestimated, the two ordinary classes she taught, her Chinese performance is second only to the two experimental classes taught by Gu Weidong, and the students also love this gentle and talented female teacher even more.
Su Yinmeng is probably the slowest Chinese teacher among all Chinese teachers, so that she can't finish the paper at school, so she can only take it home to continue grading, which greatly takes up her rest time, but she is happy to do it.
Just because the other teachers were really grading the papers, and she was looking for gold in the sand, she wanted to see if she could find some good writing seedlings and train them to participate in the essay competition.
As long as they win the provincial second prize and above, they can obtain the qualification of independent enrollment of major famous schools, and this is also encouraged by foreign Chinese schools that advertise "quality education".
Su Yinmeng is now grading papers in the study at home, this is her parents' treasure house, which is very rich in books, and the whole room is filled with a bookish atmosphere.
Before she approved Xiao Yuan's "Facing Difficulties", she could say that her mood was not high, because she found that many students' essays seemed too utilitarian and insincere, and they were basically old-fashioned argumentative essays, after all, such essays, even if they were not outstanding, would definitely not get low scores.
In fact, when Su Yinmeng herself teaches students to write, she will also teach this routine, she can't always require every student to have a super high writing talent, and can write that kind of aura in the examination room with a full score.
But she also believes that there are some good seedlings with extremely high talent, even if they write this kind of routine argumentative essay, they can also write flowers, and what she is looking for now is this kind of good seedling.
This kind of routine argumentative essay can be written flowers, let them let go of their hands and feet to write that kind of new concept essay, as long as they are cultivated and cultivated, they will definitely be able to do it.
What she didn't expect was that she actually approved a narrative essay next, which made her originally low mood instantly high.
In these years, those who dare to write narratives in the examination room of the high school exam are either bigwigs or sand sculptures, and many Chinese teachers do not even recommend that candidates write narratives during the exam, this genre is really not suitable for the examination room.
Just because the narrative essay is too easy to deviate from the topic compared to the argumentative essay, and it is not like the prose, you can show your own literary brilliance wantonly, and the narrative essay with improper details is even more disastrous.
Su Yinmeng also doesn't like to have such mysterious things as "inscriptions" and "postscripts" in her compositions, because it is really rare for students to write such thought-provoking "inscriptions".
This "Facing Difficulties" does not have these flashy and mysterious things, and even the title of its essay is very simple, in Su Yinmeng, a picky marking teacher, at least there is no score reduction, and even because of the candidate's clear, clean and tidy handwriting, her first impression of this test paper is quite good.
"My mother thought my birth was a mistake."
The first sentence of this essay shocked Su Yinmeng, she really didn't know what kind of mentality this candidate used to write such a declarative sentence that seemed to be very extreme, but was actually very plain, and how she came to such a conclusion.
But then, Su Yinmeng knew.
Xiao Yuan used extremely objective, indifferent, concise and simple words to describe the plight of the original owner Lin Yun.
"I was very unhappy when I was reprimanded and scolded by them, but I saw in their angry faces the animal nature that was more terrible than any wild beast.
Usually they hide these natures, but once they find an opportunity, they will be like those gentle cattle on the grassland, suddenly flicking their tails and sucking the gadfly on their stomachs.
I'm a gadfly, and they always say I suck their blood. ”
"Do not speak of the things of the house, nor of the pain of the body, nor of the fear of tomorrow, nor of the doubts of the world, nor of the shame of yesterday." (Yesterday's shame refers to the fact that the original owner Lin Yun pursued He Jingnian but became the laughing stock of the whole school, and Xiao Yuan also used a few crosses to mention it in the composition.) )
"I felt like I was living in hell, I wanted to embrace death, there was no way out, powerless despair."
When Su Yinmeng saw the narrative in the first half of the composition, the whole person felt a real depression and despair, where is this "facing difficulties", it is simply "facing hell"!
Her eyes were already red at this moment, and she almost wanted to tear open the place where the name was sealed, look at the student's name, and then do what she could to save her.
But when she continued to read, she found out in disbelief that the other party didn't need her to save at all, and she had already redeemed herself!
Her way of self-redemption is to become positive, optimistic, free and easy, and hardworking.
"My birth was not a mistake, I can contribute to the country in the future, and I will prove it."
"I can't choose my own family, but I can stay away from it and not be a blood-sucking gadfly."
"There's nothing to say, and when I have the courage to make it all public, there's nothing to fear."
"I've found a way out, and I'm already able to face difficulties with a smile."
After Su Yinmeng read the entire composition, she couldn't stop crying.
At this time, her mother peeled an apple for her and sent it to the study, and she saw her daughter crying.
Su's mother was suddenly shocked, her daughter had just been properly grading the papers, why was she crying like this now?
