Fang Yan threw the Year One Chinese textbook on the desk and asked, "What do you guys want to learn?"
The students looked at each other.
How could he choose this kind of thing?
Don't you have to learn whatever your teacher teaches you?
Fang Yan understood what they were thinking and said with a smile, "How about this, each of you find an article in the textbook that you like the most. We'll study the one that is mentioned the most today …"
"Teacher, I like 'Farewell to Cambridge Again' …"
"I like 'Spring in Spring Garden' …"
"'Jing Ke Assassinates Emperor Qin', this is so domineering …"
…
Fang Yan signaled for everyone to be quiet and said, "Many people like 'Farewell to Cambridge Again'. Let's learn Xu Zhimo's well-known poem today. Since we're going to learn 'Farewell Cambridge Again', let's go to Cambridge first to get the feeling. "
"Sir, Cambridge is in England." Everyone laughed. Wasn't this teacher a little too nonsensical? Dozens of people came to Cambridge just to study a text?
"So everyone knows that Cambridge is from Cambridge University. This proves that everyone has a certain understanding of this article." Fang Yan was very satisfied with the students' reaction. "Although we don't have Cambridge Bridge, we have Sparrow Bridge."
The Sparrow Bridge was a bridge within the campus of Rosefinch Secondary. It was built on the Sparrow River and connected both sides of the river.
Every time classes ended or classes ended in the afternoon, Sparrow Bridge would be packed with people. There were also some young couples who liked to be lovey-dovey on the bridge, so many people liked to change the name of the Sparrow Bridge to the Magpie Bridge.
The autumn wind was blowing, and the sun was shining warmly.
The willow tree drooped, rippling gently. Occasionally, a fish would jump out of the water, drawing a beautiful arc on the surface of the water before quickly falling back into the shallow water again.
The lotus flowers had long since withered, and the lotus leaves had also turned yellow and tattered. During school hours, the Sparrow River was serene and quiet, and there was an air of loneliness about it.
The students stood on the Sparrow Bridge, feeling both happy and amazed.
"Teacher, why did you bring us here?"
"Come to class," Fang Yan said. "Today, we will stand on Sparrow Bridge and learn the poem 'Farewell to Cambridge Again'."
"Don't tease me, teacher. How do I learn it?"
"That's right, there's no table or chair, and there's no way to take notes …"
"We don't need to take notes," Fang Yan said with a smile. "I want you to memorize it."
Huang Haoran was the representative of the Chinese class. When he heard the commotion, he shouted, "Everyone, be quiet. It's class time now … Since Mr. Fang brought us out, he must have his reasons. Don't you have any confidence in Mr. Fang? "
On the first day they met, he was defeated by Fang Yan. However, Huang Haoran did not bear a grudge against Fang Yan. Instead, he became his loyal supporter.
Moreover, after the incident, Lu Chaoge sent someone to call Huang Haoran to her office to ask about the conflict between Fang Yan, Zheng Guodong, Li Yang, and Chen Tao. Huang Haoran was not threatened or tempted by Zheng Guodong. Instead, he calmly explained the situation and expressed his and the other students' dissatisfaction with Zheng Guodong and the other two.
This was also the reason why Lu Chaoge knew that Fang Yan had been wronged and stood up for him during the meeting.
Fang Yan was not surprised by the change in Huang Haoran's attitude. Who did not pursue idols and heroes?
"I am beautiful and strong." This was Fang Yan's view of himself. Perhaps it was biased, but … he firmly believed so.
Fang Yan scanned the surroundings and said, "Everyone, wait."
Then, he quickly ran toward the other side of the bridge.
Ten minutes passed, and Fang Yan was nowhere to be seen. Instead, an ebony boat was cruising leisurely on the surface of the Sparrow River.
"It's Baldy!" a student shouted.
Baldy was the school's security guard. Because his hair was sparse and there were only a few strands, the students simply ignored the few strands of hair that he treasured and called him "Baldy." As time passed, Baldy's name became more and more famous. He could only let it be.
The security guard was in charge of patrolling and fishing.
Because there was a Sparrow River in Rosefinch Secondary, and the students liked to play by the river or on the Sparrow Bridge, their belongings often fell into the river. Although the river was not deep and did not pose any danger to the students, they could not be allowed to dive into the water to fish for their belongings.
Every time this happened, Baldy would paddle the second-hand wooden boat that the school had purchased from outside. He would use a hook or personally dive into the water to pick up the belongings that the students had dropped.
It was class time now, and there were no signs of people around. No one should have dropped anything. Why was Baldy paddling the boat?
As the wooden boat approached, everyone realized that the person standing beside Baldy was their language teacher, Fang Yan.
"Gently, I leave, just as gently as I came …" A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out in the middle of the Sparrow River. The students' gazes were immediately drawn over.
"It's Teacher Fang Yan."
"Teacher Fang Yan is reciting 'Farewell to Cambridge Bridge Again'."
"Wow, so stylish …"
…
"I wave gently, bidding farewell to the rosy clouds in the western sky …" Fang Yan waved toward the west. His posture was elegant and affectionate.
"The golden willow by the river is a bride in the setting sun. The beautiful silhouette in the rippling light ripples in my heart … "
All the students' gazes turned to the willow trees by the Sparrow River. This was the first time they realized that the ordinary willow trees that they had ignored in the past were actually so alluring, beautiful, and beautiful.
They seemed to have come to life in an instant, making people want to cherish and protect them. They wanted to give them a proper name and respect.
"The grass under the soft mud, swaying in the water. In the gentle waves of the Kang River, I am willing to be a water plant." Fang Yan squatted down, scooped up a handful of water plants from the bottom of the river, and smelled them bashfully.
The noise stopped, and the Sparrow Bridge was silent. Everyone was brought into this poetic and picturesque scene.
That handsome young man in a Chinese tunic suit, that scholarly man holding a weed in his hand, wasn't he the famous poet who had just returned from Cambridge?
"The pool under the elm is not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky. Crushed among the floating weeds, a rainbow-like dream settles. "
"Seeking dreams? Propping a long pole, drifting toward the greener grass. A boat full of starlight, singing in the splendor of the starlight. "
Fang Yan's voice became more sonorous and powerful, full of passion.
The students' expressions became more and more serious, and many of them even clenched their fists.
"But I can't sing. Silence is the song of farewell. Even the summer insects are silent for me. Silence is the Kang Bridge tonight. "
Fang Yan's voice became low, as if he was leaving his most intimate lover.
The students on the bridge were infected by this atmosphere. They were depressed, and their eyes were wet.
"I leave quietly, just as I come quietly. I wave my sleeves, not taking away a cloud … "
Fang Yan waved to the students on the shore. The ebony boat passed through the Sparrow Bridge, out of the students' sight.
They were stunned on the spot, and their chests were filled with love and poetry.
