Far away.
The other teachers realized that something was amiss.
"What's happening over there?"
"Whoa, why are the students all running over to the Chinese department?"
"Damn, how many people are there? More than a thousand? I can't even see the end! "
"Not good, the students are going to cause trouble! It must be because of the school's punishment for Zhang Ye! They feel that Zhang Ye's speech was not wrong, so they are causing trouble! "
"What are they shouting about?"
"Strike?"
"Ah? They want to strike? "
"This won't do. Quickly inform the school leaders!"
"This is going to be a big problem!"
Originally, whatever happened to Zhang Ye did not have much to do with the other Peking University teachers, but when they heard thousands of students calling for a strike, these teachers' expressions changed. This was no longer something that had nothing to do with them. Strike? Just hearing these two words made some of the teachers' faces turn green. How many students did Peking University have in total? Among these thousand students, there were definitely some of these teachers' students. There were students from the Chinese department, the Math department, the Physics department, and all the other departments of Peking University. If all of them really went on strike, then it would really be the end of the world. Peking University could not bear the consequences, nor could the Chinese education system!
Over there.
The students were still shouting in unison!
Yao Mi raised her arm and shouted, "Return Teacher Zhang to me!"
Senior Song shouted loudly, "Return Teacher Zhang to me!"
They were all familiar faces. They were the students who had joined Zhang Ye in scolding him in the Peking University Auditorium!
To be honest, Zhang Ye was also moved at this moment. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the agitated students and shouted, "Go back, everyone! Go back!"
Li Li shouted, "We're not leaving!"
Yao Mi shouted, "Strike!"
"Strike!" Li Ying roared.
Senior Zhou screamed, "Do not revoke Teacher Zhang's punishment! We will collectively strike! We won't go! "
Many of them did not like Zhang Ye in the past. For example, Senior Zhou was one of them. He had even found fault with Zhang Ye in class. On the first day that Zhang Ye arrived at Peking University, many of the students had already discussed and gossiped about him in private. They felt that a celebrity like Zhang Ye was not up to the task of teaching. They felt that he was not suitable to be a teacher and had never been a teacher before, so how could he teach the students of China's top educational institution? Most of the students who were admitted to Peking University were proud and arrogant. At the beginning, a large portion of them could not accept Zhang Ye. Those who could accept Zhang Ye were only because they liked his celebrity side, and did not accept him as a teacher.
However, some things were just so strange.
Zhang Ye had used his performance, his rigorous, humorous, amazing teaching standards, and his deep literary foundation to conquer everyone time and time again!
From doubt to acceptance.
From acceptance to love.
From love to respect.
Zhang Ye did not spend much time with the Peking University students, but in this short period of time, he had already fallen in love with these students. He had also won the respect and trust of the students! Today's speech in the auditorium had brought Zhang Ye's relationship with the students closer to the final step. Even though they knew that the strike would have a huge impact, and could even result in them being expelled or punished, the students still appeared here without hesitation. This was because they could not bear to part with Zhang Ye. They could not bear to part with a teacher who stood by their students and used all his strength to protect and care for them!
Behind them, more than 20 Chinese reporters had heard the news and rushed over with their cameras. Some of them hurriedly set up their cameras, while others squeezed through the crowd of students, hoping to get a closer shot. However, they were unable to do so even after a long time. In the distance, in the direction of the school's main entrance, there were still quite a number of reporters running over. These reporters were clearly not the ones who had been at Peking University's Centennial Auditorium. These new reporters had seen the live broadcast of Central TV and knew that something big had happened at Peking University. That was why they rushed over from the television station or newspaper office. There were even foreign reporters among them. Some had blonde hair and some had red hair!
The scene was a mess!
The reporters were all focused!
After scolding Japan, it was the students' turn to go on strike? Today's Peking University was destined to be the most turbulent day in the past few decades. Everything had happened today!
"Strike!"
"Strike!"
It was getting bigger and bigger!
Chang Kaige hurriedly said, "Everyone, go back!"
Zhen Shuquan also said loudly, "Stop fooling around, go back to the dorms!"
Professor Zeng said, "Listen to Teacher Zhang. Everyone, calm down!"
They knew that if the students really went on strike, then the matter would not be resolved!
However, the Peking University students were still in a rage and did not listen to them. They continued shouting slogans like "Return Teacher Zhang" and "If you can't do it, then go on strike".
Although Zhang Ye was touched, he was also angry. He was angry because of the word "strike". He was afraid that his matter would implicate the students. The school had already shown mercy by not punishing the students by scolding the foreign guests in the auditorium. Instead, they had suspended him, the teacher who had led the protest. This was the best outcome. If the students were to strike again, then the law would no longer apply to the saying "the law does not punish the masses"!
"What do you all want? Ah! What do you all want? "Zhang Ye shouted loudly!
Hearing this, the students gradually quietened down and looked at Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye pointed at them angrily and said, "You all are just causing trouble! This is nonsense! And you want to go on strike? What do you mean go on strike! Opening and closing your mouths, you guys make it sound so easy! What did your parents nurture you for? What did the school nurture you for? What did the country nurture you for? In the remote mountainous areas, do you know how many children want to go to school? They yearn for university, thirst for knowledge, but … in the end, they can only stay in a small mountain village with a few books that have already been read dozens of times. There's nothing they can do! You all have already received the best resources. You all have entered the highest educational institution in the country. Just because of a trivial matter, you want to go on strike? Say it again for me to hear! "
Yao Mi fell silent.
The other Peking University students also fell silent.
Zhang Ye's tone softened a little. "Today is the day I leave Peking University. These words will be the last time I will be your teacher, the last lesson I will give you. Remember, no matter when, no matter what happens, do not easily say the words' go on strike '. Because you will never know how many teachers of the people used their blood and lives to build this classroom that you can casually skip! This classroom, I do not expect you to use your lives to protect it. I only hope that you can leave a small space in your hearts … to respect it! "
A Peking University teacher from afar nodded his head. What he said was really not bad. This Zhang Ye, before he left, he had finally said something nice!
Chang Kaige and Zhen Shuquan also glanced at Zhang Ye and laughed. Who said that Zhang Ye only knew how to scold people? Look, this fellow could also say such things!
The students were all listening, but did not know what to say.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright, let's disperse. It's not like I've been expelled. It's just a suspension. Who knows when I'll be able to resume my classes. When that happens, we'll have plenty of time. Hur Hur, to be honest, I'm quite touched that so many of you came to send me off.
Yao Mi cried, "Teacher Zhang!"
The 3rd year senior who had been shielded by Zhang Ye sobbed, "We can't bear to see you go either!"
Senior Song and many of the girls' eyes turned red!
Zhang Ye said, "I'm leaving. Everyone, take care."
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang Ye!"
"Wu wu wu …"
Zhang Ye did not even look back as he got into his car. With a turn of the wheel, he gritted his teeth and drove away. He did not dare to look at the students. But when his car passed through the crowd of students, he glanced at the reflection and realized that the students were following closely behind the car. More than a thousand people were following him!
He wanted to speed up, but he could not bear to do so. Zhang Ye could only stop the car and open the door, saying, "Yao Mi, Little Song, Little Zhou, Li Li, Li Ying, the few of you, bring the people back!" He could only call out these few names. Then he got back into the car and stepped on the accelerator again.
However, Senior Song did not listen.
Senior Zhou and the others continued to follow closely behind.
If the BMW took a step forward, they would take a step forward!
A thousand people following silently behind a car was a very shocking scene!
Even the reporters who had been following, even though they were very knowledgeable, had never seen such a scene before. This kind of respect, this kind of respect that came from the students' hearts, was something that could not be exchanged for anything!
Zhang Ye could not bear to leave them behind. He slowed down the car until it was almost at the school gate, but the students still did not leave. Seeing that it was not going to work, he got out of the car again. Looking at the thousands of determined faces, looking at the willow branches by Weiming Lake, the white clouds, and the setting sun, he sighed slightly.
He stopped.
The students also stopped.
Suddenly, Zhang Ye's eyes flashed with a thought as he lightly said,
"Quietly, I leave."
"Just as I come quietly."
"I beckon gently."
"Farewell to the clouds in the western sky."
"The golden willow by the riverside is the bride in the setting sun, the beautiful shadow in the rippling light, ripples in my heart. The grass on the soft mud, swaying greasily at the bottom; in the gentle waves of Weiming Lake, I am willing to be a water plant! The pool under the shade of the elm, is not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky; crumbling among the floating algae, a rainbow-like dream settles. Seeking dreams? Holding a long pole, I wander to where the grass is greener, a boat full of starlight, I sing in the splendor of the stars. But I cannot sing, the silence is the flute of farewell; the insects are silent for me, the silence is tonight's Peking University! "
The students listened quietly and were momentarily dazed.
The feelings in the poem, the reluctance to part, were displayed in every line of the words, dripping with blood!
Zhang Ye took a deep breath.
"Quietly, I leave."
"Just as I come quietly."
"With a wave of my sleeves."
"Not taking away a single cloud."
He turned around and got into the car. Without another look, Zhang Ye stepped hard on the accelerator and drove out of Peking University!
A song, "Farewell to Cambridge Again", had been changed by Zhang Ye into "Farewell to Peking University Again". In Peking University's campus, he left behind his last nostalgia and reluctance!
