Uproar!
Shocking!
The entire Centennial Hall was shaken by Zhang Ye's shout!
Bai Yi roared, "This lunatic! He's a lunatic! "
A Japanese female reporter also said in exasperation, "We will protest! This is an insult to us! This is the most vulgar personal attack! "
Many of the Chinese reporters were very excited as they focused their cameras on Zhang Ye. They did not want to miss a single scene as they looked very pleased. However, the Japanese reporters all looked angry, as if they had been greatly insulted. They couldn't believe that someone actually dared to scold their country in an official setting!
"How can he be like this!"
"Why are you scolding us?!"
"Does he know what he's talking about? Ah! "
The Japanese students of Tokyo University were also angry!
The leaders of Peking University stared at each other!
Matsumoto and the members of the Chinese delegation were solemn as they raised the matter seriously!
The accompanying Chinese officials were dumbfounded and momentarily did not know what to say!
A Peking University Japanese Department teacher even blurted out, "This damned nationalistic youth!"
A staff member from Peking University's President's office said anxiously, "What kind of attitude is this! What does the war have to do with the Japanese people? Don't let him go on! Throw him off! Cut the microphone! "
How many of them felt that a century-old school like Peking University, the number one institution in the country, would hire a hooligan like Zhang Ye to teach? He had made a huge mistake. No matter how talented Zhang Ye was, no matter how much academic contributions he had made, his "role model" attitude was enough to completely negate his achievements! Hiring him was the worst decision Peking University had ever made! Zhang Ye's treasonous speech this time would definitely push Peking University to the teeth of the storm! They would definitely be subjected to controversy and criticism from various countries!
But Zhang Ye was still talking!
His speech was not over yet!
Zhang Ye said in a clear voice, "There are a lot of voices saying that scolding people is not right. There are also good people in Japan, so don't be a nationalistic youth. The war has nothing to do with the Japanese people. Scolding people does not represent patriotism, it only shows that they have low moral standards. Japanese culture is more advanced than us, so we must learn from it. The Japanese people are more cultured than us, so we must be humble. These people didn't seem to understand why boycotting Japanese products, not eating Japanese food, and scolding Japan could be considered patriotic. They think they are the more elegant patriots! "
Saying this, Zhang Ye raised his head, as if responding to the pro-Japanese people upstairs, "Actually, I'm also very puzzled! I was also shocked! If our actions aren't called patriotism, then could it be that you people who only eat Japanese food, buy Japanese products, never speak ill of Japan, and even speak up for Japan as soon as you see someone scolding Japan as if your ancestors have been dug up … Could it be called patriotism? "The tone of his voice changed, and he seemed to be laughing!
Applause rang out again!
The Peking University students cheered!
The staff member in the principal's office nearly choked to death!
Zhang Ye sneered and said, "They have high standards. The reason they don't scold Japan is not because they love their country more elegantly and rationally than us. It's not because they have higher standards than us, nor is it because they have come up with all sorts of grandiose excuses! It was because … they didn't hate Nippon at all! They had already forgiven Japan or never blamed Japan at all! This is the reason! "
The applause was thunderous!
The Peking University students used their applause to express their irrepressible feelings!
Zhang Ye adjusted his shirt collar, making his clothes look very decent and neat. "In formal occasions, in official settings, there are some things that no one would say, because that would offend people. That would be a sign that they do not have the demeanor of a big country. That would be a sign of low standards. That would make them seem less elegant, and that would attract doubts and controversy. But I'm not afraid of offending people. I don't have demeanor, I don't have any standards. I'm just a commoner. I'm never elegant, nor am I afraid of controversy or doubt! So regardless of whether there are cameras or not, regardless of who is here today, regardless of how many reporters there are, regardless of how many leaders are staring at me … "Zhang Ye turned his head sideways and looked at the densely packed cameras. He touched his chest and said loudly," What others don't dare to say, I, Zhang Ye, dare to say! At any time, at any place, on any occasion, no matter who asks me the same question, I dare to say it to everyone like I did today — "
Zhang Ye's first shout was, "Boycotting Japanese products … is patriotic!"
Zhang Ye's second shout was, "Scolding Japan … is patriotic!"
Zhang Ye's third shout was, "Scolding those who stop us from scolding Japan … is patriotic!"
Many of the Peking University teachers were dumbfounded! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
But Zhang Ye was not afraid at all. "Scolding people is right, right? Scolding people is wrong! But I'm sorry, we are very uncultured and not elegant, but this is how we, the ordinary people, love their country! " Zhang Ye yelled at the top of his lungs, "But this is how we, the humble citizens of the city, love our country!!"
Intense applause once again drowned out the venue. All of the students stood up and applauded with all their might. A few of the female students were so excited that tears were welling up in their eyes!
What a good "scolding Japan is patriotic!"
What a good "the humble patriotism"!!
Just as Zhang Ye had said, there were some things that no one else dared to say, but he dared to. In front of the political delegation, in front of the Chinese and foreign reporters, Zhang Ye shouted out what no one else dared to say!
The people upstairs were furious!
But at this moment, Zhang Ye looked at them and said, "I have a poem here that I would like to use as the closing words of my speech today. I would like to present it to our friends upstairs."
Poem?
He was going to compose a poem on the spot again?
The applause quickly stopped. The Peking University students pricked up their ears in anticipation!
Zhang Ye said softly and melodiously:
"How did you meet me.
"At my most beautiful moment.
"For this —"
"I've been praying before Buddha for 500 years.
"Praying for us to form a mortal bond."
This was a famous poem by Xi Murong from his previous world, "A Blossoming Tree"!
When Zhang Ye recited it, Yao Mi was stunned. Senior Song had a look of suspicion. Countless other Peking University students could not understand it either. It was not that they did not understand the meaning of the words, but they did not know why Zhang Ye would recite such a senseless love poem?
Praying for 500 years?
Just to form a mortal bond?
To form a mortal bond with whom? Japan? What did this mean?
But Zhang Ye was still reciting:
"So Buddha turned me into a tree.
"Growing by the side of the road you must pass.
"Prudently blooming under the sun, full of flowers.
"Every flower is the hope of my previous life."
Everyone could not help but admit that this was a good poem. Hearing this, the mood of the poem was clear on paper, but everyone still did not understand. Was this not a love poem?
Zhang Ye chuckled.
"When you come near.
"Please listen carefully.
"The trembling leaves are the passion of my waiting.
"And you finally ignore them and walk past?
"Falling behind you, my friend, those are not petals, they are me whispering to you …" Zhang Ye raised his hand and pointed at the Japanese people upstairs. "Idiots!"
At this moment!
At this moment!
When the word "idiots" was heard, the auditorium suddenly exploded!
Those people who had been scolded by Zhang Ye in the most direct and explicit language all had their faces turn red, white, green, and purple!
As for those from Peking University, they all burst out laughing!
Su Na: "…"
Professor Zeng: "…"
Chang Kaige: "…"
Zhen Shuquan: "…"
Dean Pan: "…"
Xin Ya: "…"
The foreign mathematicians: "… (% ¥% # @ @ @ # @ ~ ~!!!"
He had prayed in front of Buddha for five hundred years just to meet them, to become a tree by the side of the road that they had to pass by. He had hoped and waited passionately in his previous life just to tell them face to face that they were stupid!?
Everyone was stunned by Zhang Ye's guts!
At this moment, the huge Centennial Auditorium was as silent as a cicada in winter!
The Peking University students were quiet. The Peking University teachers were quiet. The Chinese reporters were quiet. The Japanese political delegation and the Japanese teachers and students from the delegation were also quiet!
It was as if the air had frozen at this moment!
When they were bullied, who was the one who stood up to protect them? It was Zhang Ye!
When they were harshly reprimanded by the professors and teachers, who was the one who stood up to speak up for them? It was Zhang Ye!
So when Zhang Ye finished reciting his poem, many of the Peking University students looked upstairs, in the direction of the political delegation and the university delegation!
Suddenly, a chubby Peking University student jumped up and pointed upstairs, shouting, "Idiots!"
The 3rd year senior who had been protected by Zhang Ye earlier also stood up from her seat and looked upstairs, shouting, "Idiots!"
Yao Mi stood up. "Idiots!"
Li Li stood up. "Idiots!"
Senior Zhou took a deep breath and pointed upstairs. "Idiots!"
At the beginning, everyone's voices were sparse and disorderly!
But as time went on, everyone's voices became more uniform. 10 people, 100 people, 200 people. More and more Peking University students joined in!
"Idiots!"
"Idiots!"
"Idiots!"
In the end, even Senior Song, a straight-A among straight-A students, stood up and shouted, "Idiots!"
500 people!
1,000 people!
1,500 people!
All the Peking University students joined in!
All the students stood up! All the students pointed upstairs!
What was this place? It was Peking University! This was the most outstanding educational institution in the country! Among the students, there were the top scorers from last year's Beijing, Beihe, Jiangsu, Gansu, and other nine provinces! There were the top scorers from two years ago! There were top students from Peking University pursuing a master's degree!
Could you imagine this scene?
A Peking University teacher, along with more than a thousand students from the best universities in the country, was pointing at the political delegation and shouting, "Idiots!"
Oh my God!
What kind of scene was this??
What kind of scene was this!?
The Peking University teachers were shocked!
The Chinese reporters were shocked!
The Japanese political delegation were also shocked!!!
