Chapter 114 Speech and Special Admissions
On April 15, in the auditorium of the 19 Middle School, thousands of students were packed, and Xiaoxiao's speech began.
As a friend, Li Fan should listen to other people's lectures carefully, but last night he played mahjong too late, and he was the kind of person who was born to be unable to stay up late, so he fell asleep uncontrollably and slept soundly.
Xiaoxiao walked on the stage, talking about the history of the development of modern and modern poetry, and also talking about the significant influence of European culture on Chinese poetry. She was full of literary talent and knowledge, which made all students admire her.
Xiaoxiao's speech has always been a casual talk and does not require any manuscripts, but the entire speech is very logical and is conducted around several centers.
Xiaoxiao: "I have a friend who said that poets are divided into third-rate poets, third-rate poets fill in words, second-rate poets seek artistic conception, first-rate poets follow their original hearts. I asked him what this 'original heart' is, do you understand the world? Or do you understand life? Or do you pursue philosophy? Then he said: 'Guess!'"
Laughs broke out on the spot.
"But I don't want to guess today, I still hope that my friend will explain it to me."
Everyone looked at the school leaders and guests on the rostrum together, not sure who they were.
Xiaoxiao glanced into the student group below the stage, saw Li Fan lying on the table and slept soundly, and sighed and said, "Forget it, my friend thinks my speech is too boring and he is asleep."
Sleeping? Niu Ben suddenly realized that this was Li Fan. He was about to wake up Li Fan, but Xiaoxiao on the stage said, "Don't wake him up, he probably dreamed that he would ask us for a account!"
Xiaoxiao continued: "When he woke up, he told him that sometimes playing mahjong cards is really annoying, and he also analyzed the game. Such people are prone to no female card friends."
Laughs broke out again on the scene.
"I have been thinking about a question of what modern poetry should draw from classical poetry and what to abandon. Today we will talk about a classic ancient poem that all the students here have memorized, "Jinse". Before talking about "Jinse", let's look at a painting by Gao Na, "Gernidan"!"
On the big screen, the "Gernidan" which is of great significance in the history of oil painting is revealed.
...
Xiaoxiao's speech ended perfectly with applause, and Li Fan also used the nearly two hours to make up for a happy mood.
Xiaoxiao signed some classmates on the podium, while Li Fan was pulled up by Niu Ben. Niu Ben said, "Brother, I'm sleeping so well, and my mouth is so happy. How much did you win last night?"
Li Fan rubbed his eyes, "Don't mention it, they're cheating."
"Go and ask for an autograph for me!" Niu Benben handed a book to Li Fan.
Li Fan woke up instantly with a question mark on his face: "You have started reading poetry? Why do you have three books?"
"Don't overestimate me. Keep it for me in the future and use it to pick up girls first." Niu Ben raised his eyebrows.
Li Fan shook his head: "When did you buy it in the bookstore? You have been so worried about literary and artistic young women for a long time. Normally, you can just send a bag and buy clothes. "
Li Fan picked up three books, and when the students gradually dispersed, he had lunch with Teacher Xiaoling and the school leaders, and then Xiaoxiao took her luggage away.
...
Time flies, time passes, as if a flash of time passes, and two months pass in a blink of an eye.
During these two months, Li Fan received a call from Sun Long almost every five or six days, asking whether he could join the "Chinese Poetry Conference".
Especially in the past few days, Sun Long will call every day, which annoyed Li Fan and hurt his brain.
All the competition rules, the contestants' list and background information of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" were sent to Li Fan. Li Fan really thought it was quite good. To be honest, I want to participate, and make friends through literature. It is my own responsibility to promote Chinese studies. Besides, there are also generous bonuses!
In fact, Li Fan was confident in convincing his parents about participating in the competition that although their parents were traditional, they still respected their own ideas. However, the most helpless thing was that the "Boya Cup" held by Beijing University was also held in July.
"Boya Cup" is an important shortcut for every student who is determined to go to Peking University. Although the "Boya Cup" held by Peking University is not set for special admissions, the contestants who perform outstandingly in the "Boya Cup" will be paid special attention to the admissions office, which has a strong bonus on special admissions.
Not to mention anything else, in the ten years since the "Boya Cup" was held, all the top scorers finally became special admissions for the University of Beijing, and there were almost no missing ones in the top five.
This is too important for Li Fan, who is determined to enter the highest institution of China. He cannot mess up his dream of Jingda because of variety shows.
The time for each link of the "Boya Cup" has not been announced yet, and Li Fan could not agree to the invitation of the "Chinese Poetry Conference".
On this day, Li Fan received a call from Sun Long again.
Over there, "Give me a sure letter to you. Can you participate? The program team is waiting for the letter! "
Li Fan: "Brother Long, I'm going to participate in the "Boya Cup" soon, I really don't have time!"
"You have signed up for the Boya Cup, have you also signed up for the Boya Cup? Gu Yating has also signed up. Oh, that's a shame!"
"If I waited for the specific time of each link of the "Boya Cup", if there was no conflict with the recording of our poetry conference, I would participate."
“When will it take to get off?”
Li Fan didn't know that he had asked Xiaoxiao that there were many summer activities in Beijing University this year, and the specific time of "Boya Cup" has not been finalized.
Sun Long was very disappointed. Gu Yating had made it clear that she would not participate because her summer vacation schedule was too full. In addition to the Boya Cup, she also had to volunteer at the opening ceremony of the Asian Economic Forum. Among them, she turned down a famous international high school summer camp.
He finally set his sight on Li Fan, but Li Fan couldn't call him right here at all. There was nothing he could do. He was determined to get a special recruitment quota from Beijing University, which is indeed much more important than participating in the show.
Sun Long can't force this time.
Fortunately, the "Chinese Poetry Conference" adopts a group points system, with several groups and batch competitions, and finally a ring competition is held. In this way, Li Fan does not have to participate in the early recording and can participate at any time.
Soon, the registration for "Boya Cup" began.
Registration is very complicated and requires a letter of recommendation from the school principal. It would be even better if there is a letter of recommendation from a cultural scholar. Then write a paper or a consciously wonderful article and send it to Beijing University together.
There is no need to mention the president's recommendation letter. As for the recommendation letter of cultural scholars, Xiaoxiao taught at Peking University and wanted to avoid suspicion. Mr. Xiao was determined to bring Li Fan to Jisen University. There is no need to think about this. Li Fan asked Cai Yong to help write an article. Cai Yong agreed immediately, and asked if he needed to bring in a few cultural scholars to write more articles, and whether he needed to ask Zhao Jianmin, a big name. Li Fan quickly thanked him, really, no need.
On Sunday, he came to Cai Yong's house with fruits. After reading Cai Yong's recommendation letter, he blushed and said, "Teacher Cai, can you please rewrite another article for me?"
"Oh, is there something wrong?"
"This," Li Fan looked at the words and sentences (they are very knowledgeable, and the talent of the world is very good. No one among high school students in the country can match his position...), and scratched his head, "It's a bit too exaggerated. I'm really not that good. Just write this one and the like."
