Chapter 32: Self-defeating
Obviously, except for Wang Defu, the other philosophy students don't seem to be bothered to waste time on such inconsequential matters.
The school magazine "Xuehuan" may be the belief in the hearts of some young students, and they only feel that it is an incomparably glorious thing to be able to publish articles on it, but for ordinary students, it is very face-saving to be able to spend money to subscribe to it, and it is too troublesome to write articles and submit articles to it.
Not everyone can be like Wang Defu, who can take writing as a kind of belief, let him write things, not torture but enjoyment, and for ordinary people, writing things is clearly an annoying thing, how many people like to write essays when they are students?
As a student of the Department of Philosophy, Wang Defu would submit articles to the school magazine "Xuehuan", which soon spread as gossip and gossip.
This made the other students in the class inexplicably relieved, and they only felt that there was a tall person on top, otherwise the senior editors of the third year of the family would have come to the class in person to say such a pass, but no one responded, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
Wang Defu can also be regarded as contributing to the whole class, this kind of behavior, just like the school sports meeting, there is a 3,000-meter running project, always send someone to the project, but no one wants to participate in this project at all, but in the end someone finally stepped forward to solve this problem for everyone.
Wang Defu was already popular in the class, and now he is even better, walking on the road, his classmates meet him, if they are on the same road, they are willing to go up and chat with him, and always say something similar to "Wang/Mo Cun is really getting more and more handsome" to express their appreciation for his appearance as always.
And recently, because of this gossip and gossip that has been circulating, the topic of their chats with Wang Defu has been transferred to the article, which is simply touted in the style of painting-
"As soon as Mr. Wang's masterpiece comes out, won't "Xuehuan" sweep the couch to greet him?"
"Our philosophy department is also talented, it's you, I believe that your article will definitely satisfy the editors of the school magazine!"
"Silent storage is either a blockbuster, a blockbuster, just a school magazine, silent articles to be published on it, it is as easy as digging into the bag!"
"You are the face of our philosophy department, I believe you will be able to!"
……
Ren Yuanxiu, who is always inseparable from Wang Defu, heard his classmates say this to his best friend, he was even happier than Wang Defu himself, because he made this suggestion, and Wang Defu, who listened to his suggestion, made a big splash with this incident, even if his articles had not yet appeared in the school magazine.
What people didn't expect was that the praise of Wang Defu by the freshman philosophy students made the students of the Department of Literature extremely dissatisfied, and many of them attached great importance to the school magazine "Xuehuan", believing it to be the pride and symbol of Soochow University.
As a result, in the mouths of the students of the Department of Philosophy, the school magazine "Xuehuan" seems to be opened by Wang Defu's family, and it is too arrogant to publish his articles if he wants to publish them on it, right?
Wang Defu, who is very Buddhist, is actually the most wronged, because he never brags about how well his articles are written, and he is not the kind of person who likes to brush up on his presence in school, but because his appearance is too outstanding, there is a lot of gossip and gossip about him, and even the girls' schools outside know that this Soochow University has such a handsome guy who can be a movie star.
There is a talented man named Huang Kan in the Department of Literature, he is the kind of person who particularly likes to brush up on the sense of existence, he is proficient in Chinese Chinese studies, and is better at scaring people, whether it is on campus or outside the campus, he is not used to seeing things, he will pick up his pen, go crazy, and publish it directly in the school magazine "Xuehuan", most of which are still used in classical Chinese.
Huang Kan even openly resisted the "New Culture Movement", believing that the real quintessence of Chinese culture is traditional Chinese culture, so of course writing essays must be written in classical Chinese, and this kind of thing in vernacular literature cannot be put on the table at all, there is no beauty at all, just talk about it, how can the written language be in the vernacular?
This time Huang Kan also heard the dissatisfaction of the students of the Department of Literature with Wang Defu, he didn't even use a pen to scold, but unceremoniously ridiculed the entire Department of Philosophy, thinking that those who studied philosophy in these years were mixed diplomas, and they had no talent or ability, but they still liked to blow each other in business.
Huang Kan, as a "big guy" who often publishes articles in the school magazine, and of course has to correct the name of "Xuehuan", he said that he believes that the editors of the school magazine will never let the waste work be published easily!
Huang Kan's statement made him win the support of his classmates in the Department of Literature at once, while the students of the Department of Philosophy who were fiercely ridiculed were a little dumbfounded, they just praised him politely out of gratitude to Wang Defu in their hearts, but they never expected that this would be misunderstood like this by sensitive literary and artistic young people!
Isn't that self-defeating?
Wang Defu's impression in the minds of his classmates is that he is serious in class, studies hard, and is just a decent person, and he is absolutely incompatible with talent, so even if Wang Defu's submission is not accepted by the school magazine, they will understand it very well, and turn to comfort him in various ways, saying that he just does his best.
But now that Huang Kan, who is nicknamed "Cannon" in the Department of Literature, is doing this, if Wang Defu's work is not accepted by the school magazine, won't the entire Department of Philosophy be embarrassed?
Although some philosophy students do come to mix diplomas, how many of them study philosophy every year become philosophers? I don't know how slim this is......
Some students in the philosophy department from good families began to actively look for a way, and they couldn't let the outside department ridicule them, so how could they actively look for a way? Of course, I asked someone to write for me or something, and then asked Wang Defu to contribute.
However, when they worked hard and found nearly ten high-quality articles, including classical Chinese, it can be said that they were specifically drugged against Huang Kan, so that Huang Dacang understood that Wang Defu, the leader of the Department of Philosophy, was also good at classical Chinese!
As a result, when they found Wang Defu, they learned that Wang Defu had already finished submitting the manuscript that day, and it was a prose he wrote casually, and it was in the vernacular.
And Wang Defu of the Buddhist department, because he was busy continuing to write "Love and Sex", did not pay attention to the gossip on campus at all, and naturally did not know about the war between the literature department and the philosophy department.
"It's over, now our philosophy department is going to lose face!" Cao Rongqing, the head of the philosophy department, beat his chest and paused.
