In the blink of an eye, most of May 3 has passed.

The long holiday heat wave has just rolled up.

But for the contestants who participated in the "Chinese Essay Contest", today is the last day to submit.

If you miss today, you will be disqualified by default.

On the Yilin forum.

Netizens are still discussing hotly.

"This time, a lot of well-known writers participated in the competition."

"Nonsense, five million for first place."

"It's a pleasure to read the prose written by these well-known writers."

"Hey, isn't the level of online writers so bad? It's no wonder that traditional writers look down on online writers, and they are indeed qualified to look down on the quality of their prose this time. ”

“……”

At the moment, only a few hours have passed.

The 54 writers of the Writers' Association have all rushed to the top 100 on the voting list.

In other words, fifty-four traditional writers occupied half of the top 100 on the voting list in less than half a day.

As for the top ten, they are all won!

Of the more than 100 online writers and tens of thousands of netizens who participated in the competition, none of them were able to break into the top ten.

As for the contestants who have a higher number of votes than traditional writers at the moment, they are also temporarily ranked in the front because of time or the number of fans.

But as time goes on, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to hold their position.

"It's tragic that all the online writers have been wiped out."

"This kind of competition tears the fig leaf of online writers."

"It's miserable, it's miserable."

“……”

On the Internet, because traditional writers crush Internet writers, it has caused widespread discussion.

Wang Mo finally decided on the article he wanted to upload this time.

What prose celebrates the ordinary?

What prose praises the mundane plant?

That's it!

Wang Mo opened the word document and wrote four words on the blank first page: "Poplar Praise".

"The poplar tree is really not ordinary, I praise the poplar tree......"

The hand speed of being single for more than twenty years is not covered.

Less than ten minutes.

This essay of more than 1,000 words has already been moved from his mind to the document.

After writing, Wang Mo opened the Yilin Forum and logged on to the "West Building" account.

This account was specially registered for him by Yilin Forum.

This time, all the contestants participating in the event, in addition to netizens who have to register themselves, every traditional writer or online writer has their own account, and they also have the certification of the forum, so as to distinguish ordinary people.

Soon.

Wang Mo posted his article in the activity area.

At the same time.

Yilin Forum.

Lao Gao, who has been paying attention to the movement of the forum, immediately received a message prompt: The West Building has finally uploaded its work!

"Let me first see how good he is at writing prose."

Lao Gao did not tell the editor-in-chief Hu Ji as soon as possible, but immediately clicked on the account of the West Building.

At first glance, I saw the title.

"In Praise of the Poplars?"

As soon as Lao Gao looked at it, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

As a person from the northwest, where did he not know what kind of plant aspen was?

This stuff can be found everywhere in the Northwest.

It's no different from grass.

What special can you write about this?

Choosing a topic is not good!

There was already a hint of disapproval on Lao Gao's face.

Soon, he saw the first sentence of the prose: "The poplar tree is really not ordinary, I praise the poplar tree!" ”

"Haha!"

Lao Gao laughed.

Big brother, the poplar tree is ordinary and extraordinary, who doesn't know?

Do you want to point out the extraordinary?

And you have to praise it.

Oops, what kind of routine is this?

Sure enough, it's a joke that a poet comes to write prose.

Hearing Lao Gao's laughter, an editor next to him leaned over his head: "Lao Gao, why are you laughing so happily?" ”

Lao Gao said casually: "It's the work of the so-called No. 1 talent on the Internet, Xilou." At first, I was a little worried about the threat he posed to our writers, after all, he was really good at poetry. Unexpectedly, the prose written was ...... Ahem, just look at it. ”

The editor listened and looked at it intently.

A few seconds later, like Lao Gao, he also laughed: "And I insist that the poplar tree is extraordinary in order to prove that it is extraordinary?" Hahaha, what kind of brain circuit is this? ”

With a smile on their faces, the two continued to watch.

"The car is running on the plateau where there is no horizon, and what hits your field of vision is a large felt of yellow and green. Loess is soil, uncultivated wasteland, the crust of the Loess Plateau, which was successfully piled up by great natural forces hundreds of thousands of years ago; The green ones are the result of the victory of human labor over nature, and they are the wheat fields......"

There is a long paragraph here, and Lao Gao nodded secretly when he saw it, because the description was quite good.

It's just that it's all about the scenery of the northwest.

What about poplar trees?

Where is the poplar tree that you want to praise in the west building?

I digress.

Eldest brother!

However, at this very time.

Here we go!

"That's the poplar tree, an ordinary tree in the Northwest Pole, but it's not an ordinary tree."

"It's a tree that strives to go upstream, with straight stems and straight branches."

"It has no waddling posture, no bending and hovering branches, and you may say that it is not beautiful, for if beauty is to mean "whirling" or "sloping out," then the poplar tree is not a good woman among the trees; But it is majestic, upright, simple, serious, and not lacking in gentleness, not to mention its strong and unyielding and upright, it is a great husband in the tree! ”

See here.

Lao Gao had a hint of mockery and a disapproving smile on his face just now, which had inadvertently frozen.

His eyes widened.

The mouth is slightly open.

This...... This is the prose of the West Building?

As for the editor next to him, his pupils shrank, and his face showed shock.

Being able to become the editor of Yilin Forum means that their writing skills are already very profound. In particular, the level of appreciation of the article is even stronger than that of many writers.

Now.

The two have discovered that this essay seems far from being as simple as they thought.

The text seems to be plain and bland, without any rhetoric, but it reveals an unusual charm.

"When you walk on the plateau where the snow is beginning to melt, and you see such a poplar tree or a row of poplar trees standing proudly on the flat earth, do you think that the tree is just a tree, and you don't think that its simplicity, seriousness, strength and unyielding are at least symbolic of the peasant ...... of the north."

"I praise the poplar tree because it not only symbolizes the peasants of the north, but especially the simplicity, strength, and spirit of striving for progress, which were indispensable in our national liberation struggle."

"Let those who look down on the people, despise the people, and stubbornly regress praise the aristocratic nanmu (which is also straight and beautiful), and despise this very common and easy to grow aspen, but I will praise the poplar tree with a loud voice!"

Essay of just over 1,000 words.

For a literary editor, it can basically be read in two or three minutes.

This time, however.

Whether it was Lao Gao or the editor next to him, they were stunned for nearly ten minutes, and the two were still stunned at the computer.

This is the prose written by the West Building?

This is "In Praise of the Poplars" written by the West Building?

At this moment, the two of them were completely silent.

Even the expression on his face became dull.

If Wang Mo was here, he would definitely be condescending and show a faint sneer.

Do you continue to taunt?

Do you continue to disdain?

I actually looked down on him.

Thought he couldn't write prose.

All right...... He really won't.

But he has a system!

I can't scare you.

After all, the "Poplar Praise" that Wang Mo took out is a masterpiece of contradictions among great writers!

The text of "In Praise of the Poplar" looks very simple and unpretentious, as if it is as ordinary as the poplar tree. There is no rhetoric, no beautiful and noble display.

However, it is such an article, but it is not really written about poplar trees, but through poplar trees, it praises the hard-working and simple people, praises the great revolutionary martyrs, and praises the risk spirit of countless unknown heroes.

Such articles, how can they not be shocked?

Of course.

In fact, the prose written by other writers also has some moral meaning.

Such as:

The rose flower symbolizes the pure girl.

The fine leaf Han Lan means a noble princess.

But in the face of the seemingly simple but incomparably sublime moral of "In Praise of the Poplar", the moral of those prose is not worth mentioning.

Finally.

Lao Gao and the editor came back to their senses, and the two looked at each other for a long time.

The editor said abruptly: "This ...... This essay? ”

Lao Gao didn't answer, but fixed his mind and said to the editor: "Go, invite the editor-in-chief." ”

"Yes."

The editor hurriedly got up and ran towards the editor-in-chief's office with a complicated expression.

Not much.

Editor-in-chief Hu Ji came to Lao Gao's side: "Lao Gao, are you looking for me?" ”

Lao Gao nodded and pointed to the computer: "Mr. Hu, the prose of the West Building has been sent out, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Oh?"

Hu Ji looked at the computer screen with curiosity in his eyes.

After a few moments, his face took on a strange look, apparently stimulated by the title and opening of the prose in the West Building. But seeing that Lao Gao's face was solemn, he suppressed his thoughts and continued to read.

At this look, the expression on Hu Ji's face began to become more and more uncalm.

A few minutes later.

Hu Jicai raised his head, his eyes were already full of complexity: "It's ...... Is it really the prose of the West Building? ”

Lao Gao: "It's true. ”

Hu Ji: "This ......"

His heart began to roll.

The more you study the history of literature, the more you can see the extraordinary nature of this article.

Therefore, as the editor-in-chief, Hu Ji, after watching "Poplar Praise", his heart was touched even far beyond Lao Gao.

When Lao Gao saw the strange look on Hu Ji's face, his already suspended heart became even more worried: "Mr. Hu, what should I do now?" We can't afford to roll over. ”

Because this time, the bonuses are all unwarranted rewards.

Even if this "Poplar Praise" enters the tenth place in the voting list, the prize money is as high as 200,000.

It's not something they can afford at all.

Therefore, Lao Gao is particularly worried at the moment that the number of votes for "Poplar Praise" will explode.

Hu Ji has not yet spoken.

Lao Gao subconsciously refreshed the page.

Dengshi's face changed drastically: "Damn, it's already exploded!" ”
