When it was his turn, the registration staff checked the relevant documents and copies, including student ID cards, semi-final notices, etc., and then said: "The semi-final notice reminds that you need to bring two past works other than the entries, have you brought them?" ”

Tang Mingyao took out a book, flipped to the table of contents, and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

The staff took a look at the "1999 XX Provincial Junior High School Students' Essay Contest Winning Works", and two lines were crossed out on the catalog.

He took the book and read it carefully, an excellent work in the preliminary round, a first prize winning work, confirmed that it was written by the same person, accepted the book, nodded without surprise, and let him in.

The exam site is also very simple, there is no grand ceremony, it feels similar to going to the province to participate in the essay contest, that is, a group of people sit in the classroom, the invigilator comes, and then the exam starts.

When the teacher pulled out the exam questions and wrote them on the blackboard, it was suddenly a little noisy below.

Because this topic is so different, it is completely different from everyone's usual exam essays.

Theme: Fans.

Just two words!

Except for some basic requirements, everyone is completely free to play.

Tang Mingyao calmed down as soon as he saw the exam questions, and seriously thought about how to write in order to be brilliant.

A new concept, highlighted in a new word.

According to the routine of the college entrance examination essay, write a story like "The male classmate misunderstood the female classmate because of a fan, and later the male classmate realized the mistake and took the initiative to apologize, so he and the female classmate became good friends again, and aspired to be a ......newcomer to the four together", and was 100% eliminated!

How to solve the problem is very important!

Tang Mingyao never paid attention to the New Concept Essay Contest in his previous life, and the only thing he remembered was the celebrities who came out of it, as for the semi-final exam questions of the second New Concept Essay?

Sorry, not impressed!

So now sitting on the field, he is the same as the other students, they are all getting the question for the first time, and they are thinking about how to write it on the spot.

Seeking innovation, first of all, we must make a breakthrough from the idea of the article, not only write about the fan will fan the wind, but also write about the culture on it, such as the folding fan of the literati, which is endowed with a special cultural heritage; Another example is the folding fan of Danjiao in the opera, there are 73 ways to use it, such as the moon fan, the falling flower fan, and the butterfly fan...... Just listening to the name is gentle and tactful; There are also Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's fans, lupine scarves, and the canopy disappears between talking and laughing, which is a different meaning......

Each meaning can become the subject of an article, and it depends on how the creator chooses.

Tang Mingyao went through several topics in his mind, and he felt dissatisfied.

The main reason is that it is too superficial, it may collide with other contestants, and it is not enough to write new ideas.

He changed his thinking angle, thinking that it was not enough to innovate in concept, so he should also come up with something new in expression.

Writing a fan from a human perspective, at least 90% of students will write like this, so on the other hand, will it be more novel to write a person from the perspective of a fan?

It seems like yes.

Again, the new concept essay should also be truly experienced, that is, it must be put on the ground.

Those literati style and opera history seem to be elegant, but they can't be landed, and it is difficult to move people.

If you can choose a theme and combine it with reality, will it be able to land?

In recent years, what phenomena in society are related to fans that can resonate with people? Can it be combined with the cultural connotation of the fan?

Putting all of the above thinking together, an article seems to have a bit of flavor.

After thinking for half an hour, Tang Mingyao began to write.

Topic: [The Legendary Life of a Fan]

The opening chapter reads:

[I am a folding fan, from Suzhou. The world is vassally elegant, and gave me a name, called the literati fan. However, I think that I am first a fan of the wind, and then a fan of the literati. 】

[My fan bone, selected from the deep mountains and old forests on the year of Xiangfei bamboo, from which the most upright old section was intercepted, stored for more than eight years, and then processed by more than a dozen processes such as high temperature, fire roasting, grinding, polishing, etc.] 】

[Every craft is handled by the most famous local masters. They say, "I'm a fine fan with exquisite craftsmanship." 】

[In fact, when the fine silk cloth was carefully glued to my fan bones, I saw the envious gazes of the people around me. Some people say that this silk cloth is the most famous handicraft workshop in China, and there are paintings made by local famous Chinese painters on it, just with these, this fan can be sold for 10,000 yuan! Another person retorted to him, saying that such a good fan must be sold for eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight! There are people in this world, ostensibly spending money to buy fans, but in fact, what they buy is culture. 】

[So I was placed in the cultural toy store, with a price tag of 88,888 yuan! ] 】

[I am very happy, because such a high price will make me feel that I am worth a lot, I thought: "Take the wind I fan, it should be with fragrance, otherwise why is it so expensive.] ”】

Tang Mingyao used the first person technique to exaggerate the production process of the fan, as well as the evaluation of the value of the fan by the people around him, and the scene of it being placed in the store for sale.

In the early days of sales, there were many people who were attracted by its high price every day.

However, few people are really tempted to buy it, so the fan gradually lost from the initial complacency, and finally he even wanted people to lower the price for him, so that he could sell it as soon as possible, and play his function as a fan - that is, to fan people and fan out a cool breeze with a fresh fragrance.

After staying in the store for more than a year, one day, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears walked into the store, he was wearing a suit, holding a beer belly, a briefcase under his arm, and a big brother pinned to his waist.

After entering the door, he didn't look at the goods, but asked: "Bring me something expensive and cultured, which can be held in your hand for people to see!" ”

So the shopkeeper recommended the fan to him, and the nouveau riche saw that the workmanship was quite exquisite, so he didn't say anything and bought it for 88888.

Folding Fan felt very happy, because finally someone appreciated him, and he could finally fan people.

However, his joy soon turned to loss, because the nouveau riche took it, and instead of fanning it, he threw it in the car.

Just when the folding fan felt abandoned, the nouveau riche took him to a foreign place to meet a nationally famous calligrapher, and spent 300,000 yuan to inscribe on the other side of the fan.

Fan felt that he had not been given up, because the master was willing to spend so much money on him, and he must have wanted the wind he fanned out to smell better, after all, some people really like the smell of Wenmo.

It's just that the fan is disappointed again.

Because the nouveau riche never fanned him, he only took it out on various social occasions, opened him, and let others gather around for a burst of compliments.

Someone asked the nouveau riche, what does the inscription on the fan mean?

The nouveau riche was stunned for a long time and couldn't answer.

After that, the fan followed the nouveau riche owner to various occasions, giving full play to its expensive value, and receiving countless people every day.

But the fan was not happy, because he had never fanned anyone once.

A few years later, the nouveau riche failed in his business and became impoverished overnight, and the creditors came to collect the debts, and in the conflict, the fan was overturned to the ground and the fan surface was trampled on.

The broken fan was worthless, and neither the nouveau riche nor the creditors noticed him, so he was swept into the trash can and thrown into the garbage heap by the roadside by the aunt who cleaned up later.

Fan feels that his fan life is coming to an end, and the next thing that awaits him may be a garbage dump on the edge of the city, where he will be corrupted and decomposed like other worthless garbage.

His bones will be stained with a foul smell, and even wild dogs will not smell it.

It turns out that he is not noble.

Just as he was desperate on the road, a thin black boy in a vest picked him up from the garbage heap and shouted happily: "Mom, I picked up a fan." ”

When he returned home, the boy carefully glued the broken fan with scotch tape.

In the hot summer, the little boy was in the cramped building, writing the words of the first grade of primary school one by one, sweating like rain.

Every time he finished writing a row, he took out a fan and fanned himself violently, with a bright smile on his face.

The fan was satisfied, and he could finally fan people.
