Peking University.
In the auditorium.
Many reporters were desperately snapping pictures!
Many of the Peking University students were "hungry and thirsty". Compared to those experts and teachers, the students were much less resistant to new ideas or things that could subvert their understanding. They were much easier to accept and understand. Hence, there were already quite a number of Peking University students who were intrigued by Zhang Ye's information and logical reasoning. They were all waiting to hear what Teacher Zhang Ye would say next.
"Teacher!"
"Do you have any other evidence?"
"Teacher Zhang, I want to ask a question!"
"Are you really able to explain all the logical errors in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'?"
The Peking University students all chimed in one after another, fighting to be the first to ask questions!
It was already 11: 30 PM.
The school had originally set an hour for Zhang Ye's "Appreciation of the Classics" class, but it had exceeded it by quite a bit.
Zhang Ye looked at his watch and held the microphone, "I'm sorry, but I won't be able to answer everyone's questions in class today because time is up. If you are interested, you can discuss it with me after class. I also welcome students who are not in my elective class to continue listening to my second lecture tomorrow. In my class, I welcome all students who love knowledge, literature, and the classics. Then, today's class will temporarily end here. Class dismissed!" Saying that, Zhang Ye put away his materials from the projection and left the podium.
There was no applause.
There was not a single clap.
But what replaced it was a swarm of students. Just as Zhang Ye was about to leave the podium, he was surrounded by a large group of Peking University students!
"Teacher Zhang!"
"What will our elective class be testing on?"
"Is it a test on 'Dream of the Red Chamber'? Can you reveal the topic! "
"Teacher, I still don't understand your point of view. Can I discuss it with you?"
At this moment, the students of the "Appreciation of the Classics" class had already acknowledged Zhang Ye's position as a lecturer. Zhang Ye had used his knowledge to shock this bunch of students! If it was said that the students in the class previously only respected Zhang Ye because they liked "Zhang Ye's Talk Show" or his poems, as well as Zhang Ye's daring personality, then now, the students were completely convinced by Zhang Ye's solid education and lecturing standards!
Even if there were people who did not agree with Zhang Ye's views, or did not like Zhang Ye's way of doing things, no one would doubt that Zhang Ye could not teach!
Who said that a host like Zhang Ye did not know how to teach?
Who said that someone who wasn't an educator couldn't teach?
The doubts that were raised against Zhang Ye on the internet and by the education experts in the industry were clearly laughable!
From throwing out the argument at the beginning, to tantalizing the audience with his language, to the gradual deduction of the details, the logical sequence of the entire lesson was very complete. Furthermore, Zhang Ye had gone off script in front of them. He did not even prepare a draft, and the class was even conducted with the students asking questions. No one knew when the students would question them, but Zhang Ye was able to follow through them all perfectly. In the end, he even perfectly returned to his main argument and used the students' questioning to deepen his point of view, giving everyone a greater visual and cognitive impact. The key point was that this lesson was also very interesting. From the beginning to the end, no one slept. Over a thousand people did not get distracted at all. The entire lesson was under Zhang Ye's control and they were all led by the nose by Zhang Ye's bombshell. As a result, the students had a deeper impression of the lesson and knew quite a lot of things!
There were education experts who looked down on Zhang Ye as a host? Furthermore, he was prejudiced against "outsiders" who were not part of the educational world? Bullsh * t! With Zhang Ye's standard today, even an old professor who had been teaching for decades … wouldn't be better than him, right? They couldn't be better than Teacher Zhang Ye, right? Alright, even if there were professors from Peking University and Tsinghua University who could really speak at the same level as Zhang Ye, and speak in such an interesting, logical and impactful manner, it was impossible for those professors to not have a script and a lecture plan, right? But Zhang Ye did not! From this point, there were not many people in the educational world who dared to say that they were better at teaching than Zhang Ye!
This teacher was too interesting!
Hence, the students began to "surround" Zhang Ye!
Of course, the group of reporters was even crazier than them!
With a whoosh, more than twenty reporters rushed over and squeezed their way in. Some of them were desperately taking pictures, while others were holding recording pens!
"Zhang Ye!"
"Please accept our interview!"
"I'm a reporter from the Beijing Times!"
"Teacher Zhang Ye, do you know how big of a stir your speech will cause today?"
"This is your first lecture as a university lecturer, and you've already thrown out such a shocking statement! How many people do you think will accept your point of view? "
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Please share your thoughts!"
"What you said today was too shocking! No! What you said was shocking! May I ask why you have never raised such a point of view in the past? Did you just discover the shocking secret of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'? "
Zhang Ye raised his hand, "Please make way. I will not accept any form of interview today. If there is a need, you can contact the relevant personnel of Peking University. I will only answer you if the department agrees. Sorry, please make way." His current identity was not a host, but a Peking University lecturer. If he accepted an interview, he had to be careful. The system here was different from a television station. In principle, the school did not encourage teachers to accept informal interviews.
The security guards also rushed over to maintain order.
After seven to eight minutes, Zhang Ye was escorted out of the auditorium by the security guards. It was just a lecture, but it felt like a war. Zhang Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had wanted to have an exchange with President Wu and Dean Chang after class. The school leaders and department leaders had come to listen to his public lecture, so it would not be appropriate for him to leave without saying a word. But there was no other way. He could no longer find anyone. Looking left and right, he could only quickly avoid people and return to his office.
… …
At the other end.
The auditorium's side door was specially used.
Wu Zeqing and Chang Kaige were walking out. Accompanying them were a cameraman and a Peking University official website staff. They were chatting as they walked.
"Has the entire process been recorded?" Wu Zeqing asked.
The cameraman in his forties said, "Yes, it has been recorded."
The website staff said respectfully, "President Wu, in the past, all of Peking University's public lectures would be posted on Peking University's official website. It is also a form of publicity and display for us, but this time, Teacher Zhang Ye's lecture on 'Dream of the Red Chamber', should we … not post it?"
Wu Zeqing smiled gently, "Why not?"
The department's Secretary, Zhen Shuquan, said, "There is too much information in this lecture. Furthermore, it cannot prove the truth of Zhang Ye's views. If it is released, it will inevitably cause trouble. Right now, only a small number of students have been convinced by Zhang Ye a little, but they still don't fully believe him, much less the others. Not to mention the other educators and experts in the literary world. Wouldn't it cause an uproar? "
Chang Kaige said with a sigh, "It's already going to be an uproar. Even if we don't post it, those reporters will go back and write a draft. I think we might as well take the initiative and post it first. At least there will be a detailed explanation of Zhang Ye's views. If not, if the reporters take it out of context, it will cause even more negative comments!"
Wu Zeqing said, "Dean Chang is right. Just like what Zhang Ye said, the more you debate, the clearer it becomes. It's good to have controversy."
Yan Jiantao raised his eyebrows and disagreed, "Is there really no problem? If we don't handle it well, our Peking University will become the target of everyone's bombardment! After all, Zhang Ye is now our Peking University's lecturer. Once his views are released, no matter how much trouble there is, our Peking University will have to bear the brunt of it. Besides, Little Zhang's views are not perfect, and have not been fully explained. He's still so young, so he might not be able to withstand the pressure from the outside world. When the time comes, the rest of the lecture will be a mess. Should we postpone it for a few days before posting it? Let's see if Zhang Ye has any new evidence? "
Wu Zeqing flatly said, "Hur Hur, there's no need to wait for a few days." She said to the website staff, "Organize the video file and post it when we get back."
"Yes, President Wu." That person acknowledged the order.
Then, Wu Zeqing said to Yan Jiantao, "Professor Yan, I know you are known for your academic rigor, but the academic aspect of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is not rigorous to begin with. There are all sorts of unsolved mysteries. At this moment, rigor is no longer the most important factor. A bold point of view and argumentation is what is most needed. I believe Teacher Little Zhang also hopes that the outside world and the Redology world will question him. This way, the more he analyzes, the more he can prove it, and after exchanging his views, he can solve the mysteries more clearly. This is a good thing." Saying that, she smiled, "As for whether Teacher Little Zhang can withstand the pressure and doubts, I believe there's no need to worry, right?"
He could worry about anything. Anything could go wrong, but when it came to the ability to withstand pressure, a simple-minded person like Zhang Ye would not have any problems!
When Professor Zeng heard this, he was amused, "Professor Yan probably does not know of Teacher Little Zhang's deeds. Back when the plane was hijacked, Zhang Ye, who had never flown a plane before, stepped forward at the most critical moment and landed the plane in a thrilling manner. He saved more than a hundred lives. This person's mental fortitude cannot be measured with common sense."
Chang Kaige and the other teachers and Peking University staff present had clearly heard of Zhang Ye's legendary story. Their expressions suffused a wry smile.
Of course, there were some things that everyone had a tacit understanding not to say. Were they afraid that Zhang Ye could not withstand the pressure? In his two live broadcasts, he had scolded the Leader once and the SARFT the other time. Under such great pressure, Zhang Ye still heartlessly continued scolding the SARFT with a scolding poem every day. It could be said that the more he fought, the braver he became. Such a literary hooligan, such a reckless hothead, if he couldn't f * * king handle the pressure, then no one in this world could!
