It was quite late in the afternoon.
"Sir."
"Eh, what's the matter?"
"Please keep quiet in the library."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"OK, please do not disturb others. Thank you for your cooperation."
The female staff of the Xuanwu Library reminded Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye did not make any calls. He had finished making those calls and the information he needed to check was more or less done. He left the library and drove home. The rest of the information was in Zhang Ye's head. They were all works from his previous world. On the way home, Zhang Ye opened up the game ring's main interface and looked at his total Reputation points — 1.7 million. Not bad, it was quite a lot. It was enough for him to go through everything related to "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Originally, he had used up all of his Reputation Points during the recording of Zhang Ye's Talk Show and basically did not have much left. But with the release of To The Oak, his new novel, Everything, and the recent news of Zhang Ye joining Peking University, there were more people who knew of him. This also brought him a huge amount of Reputation Points, which was probably how he got the 1.7 million Reputation Points.
He reached home.
His parents were still at work.
Feeling a little tired, Zhang Ye leaned back on the sofa and took off his shoes to cross his legs. He took out his cellphone to surf the internet to see what people thought of him joining Peking University. He saw that when the news broke a few hours ago, many of Zhang Ye's fans were very excited. Some congratulated him, some were impressed, and many other passersby expressed their disbelief. However, there were no extreme comments. But now, a few hours later, the comments online were getting more and more extreme. There were even many newspapers from all over the country that were strongly questioning Zhang Ye!
In the education circle.
In the literature circle.
In the parents circle.
It was like they were on steroids!
A piece of news appeared in Huaxi Daily, which had a large circulation in the country, "What's wrong with Peking University". The news said: "Zhang Ye's appointment as a lecturer at Peking University has caused intense discussion in society. As the number one educational institution in the country, as a world-class educational institution, we do not know what's wrong with Peking University. Why did they hire a 23 year old broadcast host who has been placed on the watch list by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to teach? An attempt? It was a good thing to have changes and progress, but there were many ways to innovate. Peking University had chosen the most surprising path and invited Zhang Ye, who had a very low reputation in the industry. This was really irresponsible to the students of Peking University!
This report wasn't published in Huaxi Daily's newspaper, but on the newspaper's website. Even so, a newspaper of such weight as Huaxi Daily was much more authoritative than other small newspapers. Just this report on the website was enough to add fuel to the fire.
Many netizens were amazed.
"Yeah, it's too exaggerated!"
"If Zhang Ye can teach? I can even become a professor! "
"Peking University is playing with fire! If this goes on, I think Tsinghua University will surpass them sooner or later and take the first place. Isn't this nonsense! "
"What kind of person is Zhang Ye? Yes, his literary attainments were not bad, but he was a literary hooligan. To let him teach the children of Peking University? Teach what? Teach everyone how to curse? "
"This is like a lamb walking into a tiger's den!"
"The Peking University students are being led astray!"
"What qualifications does Zhang Ye have? He doesn't deserve to be a lecturer! "
"That's right, there are too many people who can teach 'Appreciation of the Classics'! Why does it have to be someone like Zhang Ye who doesn't care about anything! It's still Peking University who has the guts! Aren't you all afraid that Zhang Ye will stir up more trouble? Beijing Radio Station's fate, the Beijing Television Station's live broadcast incident, the SARFT press conference incident. Aren't those enough to let everyone understand what kind of person Zhang Ye is? Does Peking University still dare to hire him? "
Following that, a protest statement appeared on Weibo.
Some of the industry's experts and professors jumped out!
A very prestigious old professor from Tsinghua University posted on Weibo and blasted: "Peking University has been carrying out the so-called innovative education model for the past few years. There have been areas where there have been failures, but there have also been areas where there have been successes. That's why no one has said anything about it, but what happened today has really made me unable to stand it any longer. I've been teaching for 40 years. For the first 10 years, I was accumulating experience in a village middle school. For the next five years, I was experimenting with teaching methods at a provincial university. Finally, I stepped into the gates of Tsinghua University and started teaching as a substitute teacher and lecturer. This is a gradual process and the accumulation of a teacher's teaching standards is not achieved overnight. I took 15 years to get into Tsinghua University, so I would like to ask, what is this Zhang Ye based on? Based on experience? He doesn't! Based on academic qualifications? He doesn't! Based on qualifications? He doesn't either! He isn't even someone from the education system! Based on relationships? Whether that's true or not, I don't know! "These words were a little harsh. Not only did it mock Zhang Ye, it also bombarded Peking University!
With the Tsinghua University's old professor leading, many people could no longer sit still!
Renmin University's Professor Ma Hengyuan appeared once again. This person was the original lecturer for the recording of "Lecture Room". However, he had a conflict with Zhang Ye and Hu Fei's team, so Zhang Ye was replaced at the last minute. It could be said that Ma Hengyuan had a huge grudge against Zhang Ye. Furthermore, he was a professor who specialized in literature, so he had the right to speak on this matter. "Inviting Professor Zhang Ye to teach Appreciation of the Classics. I can say with certainty that this is the worst decision Peking University has made in recent years. Zhang Ye might be able to write a poem or an essay, but he is not qualified to appreciate a masterpiece!" He was stubborn and refused to admit that Zhang Ye's Three Kingdoms lecture was better than his.
A few students also appeared!
These were either Ma Hengyuan or the old professor's students!
"Supporting Professor Ma!"
"Zhang Ye going to Peking University? This is a disgrace! "
"Zhang Ye is just a celebrity in the entertainment circle. What does he know!"
"After being warned by the SARFT, he can no longer stay in the entertainment circle, so he came to the education circle? This is not only being irresponsible to our students! It is also an insult to all educators and their predecessors! "
"I don't think much of Zhang Ye either. He can be a lecturer, but to teach and educate? Who does he think he is!? Since when did the education circle have his turn? "
Not long after, people from the literature circle also appeared!
The Beijing Writers' Association's Vice President, Meng Dongguo, commented. This person's conflict with Zhang Ye was probably even greater than Professor Ma Hengyuan's. It was not the first time they had clashed. At the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet, at the Couplet Competition, when faced with Meng Dongguo saying that the Beijing Writers' Association would never need a person like Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye had even used Guo Degang's limerick, "I don't like to come either" to refute him. Now, everyone was questioning Zhang Ye's teaching ability, so he did not want to be left out.
Meng Dongguo: "A person who has not even entered the Writers' Association actually wants to shamelessly teach the appreciation of famous works? 'Analysis of the Three Kingdoms' is just a variety program. It is aimed at the public, so what it says is actually very superficial. Basically, anyone in the literature circle who has done in-depth research would know that borrowing the East Wind does not exist. The empty fort strategy does not exist. Is there a need for Zhang Ye to say it? Most people know. Now, you want to use this to teach Peking University's top students? Isn't this a bit too childish? Besides, everyone needs to understand something. Zhang Ye's' Analysis of the Three Kingdoms' is about history, not literature. If you use 'Analysis of the Three Kingdoms' to point out that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is wrong and illogical, is this still considered teaching literature? Literature and history are separated. Those who dabble in literature naturally have to research the literary value and meaning of this famous work, and not pick on this famous work with claptrap. That is laughable and belittling oneself! "
The people behind all replied.
"That's right!"
"Analysis of the Three Kingdoms is about history!"
"I remember it too. In so many episodes of 'Analysis of the Three Kingdoms', Zhang Ye has basically never talked about the literary contribution and meaning of this novel. He is always denying its unreality!"
"You've hit the nail on the head!"
"I'm also starting to dislike Zhang Ye!"
Of course, there were people in the industry who supported Zhang Ye. For example, a not very famous author said, "How can a person who can explain the Three Kingdoms so thoroughly only criticize this novel? And not analyze its literary meaning? Zhang Ye has already thoroughly studied 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Whether it's positive or negative, he can do it. Besides, Zhang Ye has too many works, right? Just the recent 'To The Oak' and the new 'Everything', are there still people who doubt his literary standards? I believe that a person who can write so many excellent poems will definitely be able to teach 'Appreciation of a Masterpiece' well. I actually feel that Peking University's invitation to Teacher Zhang Ye was a very correct choice! "
However, these words of support for Zhang Ye were instantly drowned out!
More and more people in the education world were constantly denouncing Zhang Ye. They expressed their anger and reprimand for a black sheep like Zhang Ye joining a school like Peking University!
Deputy Station Head Jia, who had already lost his position, also jumped out, "To teach people, you need to know how to conduct yourself. Zhang Ye is a classic example of someone who doesn't know how to conduct himself. To say that he can teach students well? I'll be the first to not believe it! "Seeing Zhang Ye besieged on all sides, Deputy Station Head Jia also added fuel to the fire!
With so many famous seniors and famous people denying Zhang Ye, many parents of Peking University who did not know the truth also believed it. After all, compared to those authorities, Zhang Ye was just a person from the entertainment industry. The parents clearly trusted the teachers from the education and literary world more.
"What is Peking University doing?"
"Don't let that Zhang Ye pollute the campus!"
"My child is taking 'Appreciation of the Classics' as an elective! That Zhang Ye better not lead my child astray! I've seen an episode of his talk show before. This Zhang Ye has no bottom line! "
Public opinion was completely reversed!
Zhang Ye was once again pushed to the heart of the struggle!
Many neutral onlookers were speechless. At the beginning, everyone was still congratulating and looking forward to it, but in a blink of an eye, everyone was denouncing him? This Teacher Zhang Ye is too f * * king good at attracting hatred. How many people did he offend in the past!? Every time something happens to him, why is there so much gunfire!?
Actually, to be honest, if it were any other person, even if it were a host from the entertainment industry who was even more unreliable than Zhang Ye, being invited to teach at Peking University, it would not have attracted so much suspicion. Only Zhang Ye had the ability. There was no other way. Who asked Zhang Ye to offend too many people? Be it the entertainment industry, literary industry, education industry, or even the authorities, who had he not offended before!
If there was a selection of "China's Best MT", Zhang Ye would definitely be worthy of it. He did not even need to say a word. Just by standing there, he would definitely attract hatred!
