In the classroom.
The students were in high spirits!
"Me!"
"My question!"
"It's my turn, it's my turn!"
"Teacher Zhang Ye, over here, over here!"
This was Peking University, and they were students of Peking University. They had some pride in their bones, and many of them did not want Zhang Ye to look down on them. According to convention, not the school's convention, but the students' convention, they had to make things difficult for the teacher. They also wanted to see if this legendary new teacher was really that capable, and if he was as good as the internet and television made him out to be.
A few of the 3rd year seniors stretched their hands very high!
Zhang Ye swept his gaze downwards and called out a person, "I'll take this classmate."
The 3rd year senior with a mustache stood up with a smile.
"How should I address him?" Yao Mi pouted, "If he dares to make things difficult for Teacher Zhang, I won't let him off! Teacher Zhang is my dad's good buddy! "
There were people discussing in whispers.
"Hehe, Teacher Zhang will be difficult."
"That's right, this senior's question is not easy to answer."
"Didn't he anger a new teacher the last time?"
"Senior Zhou, it's fine if it's others, but don't make things difficult for Teacher Zhang. Zhang Ye is quite a nice person."
Some of the students liked Zhang Ye and were very supportive of him. Of course, there were some who were not convinced, such as this Senior Zhou. Of course, he did not want to do anything, but just thought it was fun. Zhang Ye was quite famous now, so if he could make Zhang Ye stumble with his questions, then he would also become famous.
Chang Kaige glanced at this student. He also knew him. He was one of the few troublemakers in the department. He had been reported to the entire department. He liked to find trouble and was not very obedient.
This Senior Zhou blinked and said, "Teacher Zhang, can I ask any question?"
Zhang Ye nodded, "Yes, anything."
Senior Zhou immediately said, "Alright then, hur hur. My question is, if your wife or mother fell into the water, who would you save first?"
When everyone heard this, they were speechless!
What kind of lousy question was this!? There was no way to answer it! And it was all over the streets!
Chang Kaige and a few other teachers frowned. This troublesome student was really too disobedient. Wasn't he doing this on purpose?
That Senior Zhou said again, "I'm not asking blindly, Teacher Zhang. Since you will be teaching us about literature in the future and dispelling our doubts, then from a certain point of view, this problem is also considered a difficult problem in literature. Can you answer it for us? Don't tell me you don't have a wife. "
However, Zhang Ye did not mind such a question. Instead, he said, "I can answer that question for you, but you have to answer a question of mine first before I can answer it for you."
Senior Zhou said, "If I answer, you'll answer?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes."
Senior Zhou said without hesitation, "Sure, as long as it's not this problem, anything is fine."
"Hur Hur, don't worry. That's definitely not the problem. My problem is …" Zhang Ye looked at him and said, "Your wife is pregnant, and it's a difficult labor. Do you want to save the adult or the child?"
Senior Zhou said matter-of-factly, "Is this still a problem? Of course it's to protect Milord! "
Zhang Ye continued, "Then at this time, if your mom jumps into the water and asks you to protect her, what will you do?"
Hearing the last question, Senior Zhou nearly vomited blood. Pfft! I support your sister!
When the surrounding students heard this, they also cramped up with laughter!
"Hahahaha!"
"Aiyah, this is a godly question!"
"Teacher Zhang's brain is too fast!"
"This question is 10,000 times more complicated than having your wife and mother jump into the river!"
"I have a feeling that this question will replace 'wife and mother jump into the river', and become a brand new nightmarish godly question for all men!"
"Haha, I'll remember this question. In the future, I'll ask my boyfriend like this!"
Professor Zeng laughed.
Among the other Teachers who had opinions about Zhang Ye, two of them could not help but laugh. This question had indeed amused them.
Senior Zhou knew that this was no longer a matter of answering it. He had been teased by Zhang Ye. He had wanted to embarrass Zhang Ye, but he never expected to be teased. Although he was annoyed, he was also convinced. He sat down dejectedly. He finally understood that Zhang Ye was the real deal. For a student like him to compete with a Talk Show host in terms of eloquence, he was really overestimating himself.
Zhang Ye smiled, "Time for the fourth question?"
Immediately, countless people volunteered to raise their hands.
"You, the one in yellow." Zhang Ye pointed to a person below.
This person was a senior in her third year. She was very good at her studies. Even in Peking University, she was one of the top students. She was well liked by the teachers and all the students knew her. However, this bespectacled senior had one problem. She liked to get into a dead end. She was also very literary and liked to ask the teachers questions about academics. Many of the questions even the teachers were stumped by her. Hence, the teachers had a love-hate relationship with her.
"It's Senior Song."
"F * * k, this question is probably too deep!"
"That's right. Senior Song has the title of 'half a teacher' in Peking University."
"Teacher Zhang is meeting us for the first time. There's no need to ask such serious questions, right?"
The students said all sorts of things.
When Chang Kaige saw the girl, she smiled. Clearly, she knew her and liked such students. She was likely someone that the department would focus on nurturing.
Professor Zeng knew this person even better, because Senior Song was his student in the History department.
Senior Song stood up and pushed her glasses with a deadpan expression. The moment she opened her mouth, she said very bluntly, "Teacher Zhang Ye, forgive me for being presumptuous, but I have some doubts about your literary attainments!"
There was an uproar!
"It really is Senior Song!"
"F * * k, that's too direct!"
"There's no need to be so serious, right? Senior Song doesn't know humor! "
Zhang Ye found it very interesting, "Oh? Why don't you tell me where you have doubts? "
Senior Song nudged her spectacles once again, "I won't say anything about your other works, but your" This is also Everything ", although everyone says that this poem completely suppresses Teacher Wang Shuixin's" Everything ", I don't think so. One is pessimistic, while the other is optimistic. It's just a matter of looking at the problem from a different angle. No one is better than the other, but from your attitude and the comments posted on the internet, it's obvious that you think your" This is also Everything "is much better than" Everything ". You have belittled" Everything "very badly. At least Teacher Wang Shuixin's" Everything "was included in the appendix of textbooks. Then, Teacher Zhang, do you mean to question the poems chosen in educational textbooks and the collective wisdom of many senior professors in the education world? Do you think that there's a problem with the judgment of the many seniors in the education world? "
This accusation was too big!
Yao Mi exclaimed, "Senior Song is too evil!"
Li Li said in embarrassment, "Does she have a grudge with Teacher Zhang?"
"No, Senior Song is such a person." Li Ying smiled bitterly.
Wu Zeqing did not interrupt. She just sat there quietly.
Professor Zeng stopped her, "Little Song, how can you say that?"
Chang Kaige also felt that this student was eager to learn, but he was just a little radical. He was not tactful, nor did he know how to be flexible. He even dared to label a teacher? Hai, there was really no other way.
However, there were also teachers who were gloating. They were waiting to see how Zhang Ye would handle it.
Senior Song was very respectful to Professor Zeng. After being interrupted, Senior Song sat down, "Then I won't say anymore. Teacher Zhang, just pretend I didn't ask anything."
Zhang Ye was not angry. He smiled, "This student, I don't know where you saw me make such comments. You said that I belittled 'Everything'? Doubted the seniors in the education world? Doubted the academic experts who drafted the textbooks? "
Everyone knew that Teacher Zhang Ye was beginning to smooth things over. He definitely could not wear this accusation. That would offend too many people.
"That's right."
"Teacher Zhang never said that."
Yao Mi and company all said.
However, Zhang Ye's next sentence made everyone dumbfounded, "Did I say that? I definitely did not say that! Of course, I didn't say it in the past. Even if I did say it, it wasn't me who said it. So I will say it again. Yes! I belittled Wang Shuixin's' Everything '! I was doubting the academic experts who drafted the textbooks! Even if it's an appendix, this poem is not qualified! "
Everyone was stunned!
Senior Song also stared with her mouth agape!
No one expected Zhang Ye to say that!
Chang Kaige turned anxious, "Teacher Little Zhang!"
Wu Zeqing stopped Dean Chang, "Let's just listen. Hur Hur, this is Teacher Zhang's class."
A department teacher said, "But he …"
Wu Zeqing interrupted, "In the field of poetry, Teacher Zhang Ye is the expert. Others might not be qualified, but Teacher Zhang Ye is qualified to say such things."
Seeing everyone explode, Zhang Ye thought nothing of it, "Why would I dare say that? Because Wang Shuixin's' Everything 'has problems. There are structural and word problems! "
Senior Song stood up angrily once again, "Regardless of his character, I like Teacher Wang Shuixin's poems. I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said!"
Zhang Ye smiled unhurriedly, "Do you still remember his poem?"
"Of course!" Senior Song began reciting.
"Everything is fate."
"Everything is illusory."
"Everything has no result."
"Everything has no home."
"Every joy has no smile."
"Every suffering has no tear stains."
"Every past is in a dream."
"Every faith has a moan."
"Every explosion has a moment of peace."
"Every death has a long echo!"
Zhang Ye shook his head. He really did not like Wang Shuixin's "Everything", nor did he think it was good. To be honest, he did not like Bei Dao's "Everything" from his world. However, disliking was subjective. "Everything" was Bei Dao's main representative work. Its literary quality was naturally impeccable. Even if it was not as famous as "This is also Everything", Bei Dao's "Everything" was still a classic. It could be passed down for generations to come!
Notice, it was Bei Dao's "Everything", and not Wang Shuixin's!
Zhang Ye held onto the lectern and began reciting, "If it were me, I would write it this way …"
Everyone perked up. Teacher Zhang was going to write another poem? And he was going to compose it on the spot? All of them were paying 120% of their attention! This was because Zhang Ye's poem was too famous!
Professor Zeng also pricked up his ears.
Senior Song looked at him disapprovingly.
Zhang Ye exhaled and recited with a calm yet somewhat despairing voice:
"Everything is fate."
"Everything is smoke and clouds."
"Everything is a beginning without an ending."
"Everything is a fleeting pursuit."
"Every joy has no smile."
"Every suffering has no tear stains."
"Every language is a repetition."
"Every relationship is a first meeting."
"Every love is in the heart."
"Every past is in a dream."
"Every hope has its annotations."
"Every faith has a moan."
"Every explosion has a moment of peace."
"Every death … has a long echo."
The sentences were changed, the wording was changed, and a few paragraphs were added!
After Zhang Ye finished reciting, the classroom fell silent!
Wu Zeqing's eyes lit up as she looked deeply at Zhang Ye.
Chang Kaige reflected on it for a moment and also revealed a look of surprise!
The other teachers from the Chinese department, even if they taught History, also had a certain level of research in literature. When they heard this, they looked at each other in shock! President Wu was right. In the field of poetry, Zhang Ye was really an expert. He really had the qualifications to say those words!
The two "Everything" could not be compared at all!
It was not that they each had their own merits that could not be compared, but the difference was like heaven and earth!
Some of the Peking University students could not understand and were blinking. The two poems were about the same?
However, there were some students who could tell the huge difference. They drew a cold gasp. It sounded about the same, but on careful thought, the difference was f * * king huge!
Zhang Ye smiled and asked Senior Song, "Classmate, how do you think my 'Everything' and Wang Shuixin's' Everything 'compare?"
Senior Song was already stunned. She took a few deep breaths before bowing in admiration and respect, "I was presumptuous just now. Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry. Your 'Everything' compared to Teacher Wang Shuixin's' Everything '… is several times more literary. It's not even … on the same level!"
Zhang Ye said, "Thank you for your evaluation."
Senior Song said, "I should be the one thanking you. I have always been ignorant. So … there really is someone better out there. I will learn well from you!"
Zhang Ye pressed his hands down, "Let's have a discussion. Please have a seat."
Yao Mi was stunned. Holy sh * t, even a rigid top student like Senior Song had been subdued by Teacher Zhang Ye!
Zhang Ye did not become complacent just because he recited a poem on the spot. On the contrary, he appeared very casual, as if he had done something trivial. He did not think much of it. "One last question."
This time, nearly everyone in the class raised their hands!
"Me, me, me!"
"Call me!"
Zhang Ye randomly picked a person, "This one."
It was a junior. He gave off a very obedient vibe. He excitedly stood up, "Teacher Zhang, I want to ask … Uh, I don't know if I should ask."
Zhang Ye said happily, "You can ask anything. There are no taboos in my class."
The junior clenched his teeth and mustered up his courage to stutter, "About that, we have all watched your program. We have also heard about your news. I believe it's not only me. Everyone is curious about your legendary experiences. You have scolded your unit, been detained, mocked the SARFT, saved a fan. Everyone has a lot to say about you. I especially want to know, what's your evaluation of yourself? What kind of person do you think you are? "
This question was very standard, but it was very difficult to answer.
Zhang Ye thought for a second and chuckled. Seeing all his classmates looking at him without blinking, he could not help but use the words of his world's "In Memory of Norman Bethune" for himself. He boasted shamelessly, but each sentence was profound and profound, "My evaluation of myself is — a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from vulgar tastes, a person who is beneficial to the people. That's it. "
A pure person?
A person who is free from vulgar tastes?
Chang Kaige pondered deeply. The other teachers were also secretly nodding their heads. Using these words to describe himself was a bit too much, but it was very well said!
This Zhang Ye, he really had a way with words!
Zhang Ye clapped his hands, "Alright, that's all for today. See you tomorrow. I will inform everyone about the class schedule tomorrow. I wish you all a pleasant time."
Immediately, there was a round of applause!
Those who clapped applauded! Those who whistled whistled!
Towards this new teacher, the students were already looking forward to it to the extreme. They were also getting more and more eager to know what he would say in tomorrow's class!
It was too interesting!
This new teacher was a little different from the other Peking University teachers!
