Chapter 403 End of Event
"Teacher Qu, is this a little different from dozens of people...?" Gu Lu asked.
When everyone came to the corner, they saw the bustling crowd.
For the students standing in the corridor, the teacher was trying his best to maintain order. It was like boiling dumplings. Too much filling was put into the dumplings, and the skins were broken.
"This... eh!" Teacher Qu was nervous, "Didn't I tell you not to force the children to participate?"
Teachers should be nervous. Last year, a girls’ middle school, Chung Hwa Middle School, forced students to register. It was first reported by Lianhe Zaobao and criticized the school. Later, the Straits Times reported on the matter again, criticizing China for using hegemonic thinking to spread culture.
The former Morning Post is a comprehensive Chinese newspaper, while the latter Straits is the largest English newspaper. Do you understand this?
That’s right. In recent years, the United States has frequently accused China of hegemony, and China has also frequently accused the other side of not having freedom. They all live in a way that the other party hates.
"Don't be nervous. We have already agreed upon this when we organized this time, and we have learned from past experiences. The administrators of each school know the importance." Professor Lu's voice was calm, which made Teacher Qu feel much more at ease.
Gu Lu roughly understood the whole story through a few words on the side. If last year it was an unintentional mistake of a certain school, this year it must be intentional.
There is a mole, terminate the transaction! When he was about to tell the professor his idea, Gu Lu caught a glimpse of Professor Lu's serious face from the corner of his eye. It was obvious that the latter had also considered this issue.
That’s right, there are aspects that he can consider, how could Professor Lu not think of it.
The professor looked as usual and contacted local acquaintances to discuss changing the venue.
No matter what the situation is, we have to change places. It is too crowded right now.
The world is a huge grass-roots team. Gu Lu feels a little grass-roots. The event is officially organized anyway. The Lion City has no person in charge to organize it, and there is no alternative plan! Even "Our Literary Society" holds an essay contest, which is more reliable than this.
The teacher who inquired about the news hurried back, "Professor, the reason why so many students signed up is because of Gu Lu, who is very popular among the post-00s generation in Lion City."
Teacher Qu There is a little bit in the words He complained a little, "Classmate Gu Lu, if you had said earlier that you had such appeal in the Lion City, we would have chosen a bigger venue."
Hey, isn't this too much of an exaggeration? Gu Lu I didn’t know that I had such appeal in the Lion City.
"Hahaha, Xiao Gu didn't expect that the sales of his works would be so high in the Lion City. Especially "The Little Prince", all teenagers should like it." Professor Lu said with a smile.
“They don’t seem to be here for the work,” Teacher Qu said a little hesitantly, as if he didn’t believe it. “They seem to have come over to watch the basketball star because Gu Lu is good at basketball. Also, because Gu Lu is good at reasoning and fighting?”
"?" Professor Lu was rarely so confused about one thing. He turned to look at the last disciple he accepted.
“The students were discussing animation, because several cartoonists are my friends and have designed several comic characters based on me.” Gu Lu also didn’t know his connection with Taiwanese dramas, so about I don’t know if the fight is very powerful, I just know it through explanation.
King Gulu suddenly thought, don’t look for any prototype in Junji Ito.
Wen Yan, Teacher Qu and Professor Lu had very different reactions. The former said, "Young people just talk and do meaningless things."
The latter, Professor Lu, felt the generation gap. But he still tried to summarize it in the language he understood, "It turns out that Xiao Gu is a different kind of movie star and has appeared in many animations."
That seems to be okay? Gu Lu hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Ordinary writers are not so popular. I should have called you Xiao Gu here last year." Professor Lu said, "Last year's event was too old. The students below had stiff expressions and were not interested. . Any cultural promotion should start with young people.”
“It would be very good if we can provide some help for our activities.”
Yes, Gu Lu thought, since the Lion City has a foundation, he must quickly let Yao Xiaoju sell the book and strive to become a world-class best-selling author as soon as possible.
Pictures are greater than words, and videos are greater than pictures. The spread of animation is really great. He could have such an exaggerated publicity without him noticing.
After a while, Professor Lu answered the phone. After a brief exchange, he hung up the phone and began to assign work, "Teacher Qu, we found the new location, go and talk to the teachers."
"Xiao Gu, go to the new address first to avoid appearing. Big mistake." Professor Lu said briefly, he wanted to report the matter.
The organization of the event is at the grass-roots level, but the approval process is in line with international standards, which is quite troublesome.
When the venue was set, considering that it was difficult to move due to the large number of students, the venue that Professor Lu changed was basically the same as the original one, just two floors higher.
A banquet hall was arranged hastily due to lack of time, with some messy plastic chairs, balloons and red ribbons that had not been cleaned up.
"That's Gu Lu? He doesn't feel very strong. Is he really good at basketball?" "The comics say that he relies on his IQ to play basketball, but his arms with no muscles are definitely not good at fighting." "I actually want to ask, Why does he appear frequently in Japanese comics? "My friends in Neon told me that it's because Neon particularly likes Gu Lu as a writer." "I came especially to meet Gu Lu"...
The students discussed with each other, and occasionally one or two sentences in English appeared in the conversation. English is the official language stipulated by the Lion City.
Professor Lu, Gu Lu, and Teacher Qu tidied up for a while. Because the professor was older, Gu Lu did more work that required physical exertion.
A quarter of an hour later, the event began. Professor Lu made an opening speech, followed by representative teachers from Chung Hwa Middle School, Overseas Chinese Middle School, Nanyang Middle School and other schools who introduced one by one.
Immediately afterwards, the teachers began to share their experiences in Chinese teaching. As a Chinese person, Gu Lu will also appear and share something with the theme of Chinese characters.
"Hello everyone, I am Gu Lu, who can cook, reason, and play basketball."
After Gu Lu finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
"It seems that all the classmates know me, too. After all, I feel that my three-dimensional and two-dimensional look are similar."
The best way to get closer to the audience during a speech is to make a fool of yourself. Needless to say, there is a gap between the second dimension and the third dimension, so it seems that Gu Lu is boasting, but it is actually another level of self-deprecation.
A small number of students uttered "yeah", but most students did not dare to speak at will because the teacher was nearby.
"The topic I share today is "Why learn Chinese". Since the students all know me, I must explain it well."
"Just like this topic, why should we learn Chinese characters? Regardless of your answer What is it? My answer - because I like very beautiful things."
"There is no need to go into details about the history of Chinese characters, but what about the beauty of Chinese characters?" Gu Lu told it unscriptedly and had memorized it before he came. , after all, a lot of efforts must have been made in advance for this trip. "Good medicine tastes bitter, and the names given to medicines in Chinese are very beautiful. Bai Wei, Angelica dahurica, perilla, cicada, pinellia, aster, Xu Changqing, etc. are often named by people."
< br>"Months besides January, Two, Three and Four can also be very beautiful. January is the beginning of the new year, and February is It is the apricot moon, March is the kite month, April is the Mengxia month, there are also the peach moon, the lotus moon, and the laurel moon. Just look at the names and you will know what kind of flowers are blooming. It can be even more beautiful. The seventh month described in "Flower Moon Order" is. : The sunflowers bloom. The jade hairpin scratches the head. The hibiscus blooms brightly. "
"This is especially true for colors. Apricot yellow is more realistic than yellow, dark green looks better in writing than green, moon white has more layers than white, and azure blue looks better in articles than blue." Gu Lu said, "It's beautiful."< br>
While still interacting, Gu Lu said, "You should all have studied poetry. Do we all know the name of poetry?"
Looking loudly at the front, the junior high school student who is the number one high school student in history He blurted out, "Ru Meng Ling!"
"It is a short and dreamlike piece of music like a dream. Just hearing the name Ru Meng Ling is beautiful, not to mention that there are many lyricists who have written classic works. A glimpse of the dream breaking rat Lamp, frost sends dawn and cold invades quilt . No sleep, no sleep, and people neighing outside the door. Awakening from a dream can also write a cold beauty. "Is there anything else? "
The second half. This sentence seems to be what the teacher used to say often.
"I know Huanxi Sha." "Queqiao Fairy, I think Queqiao Fairy sounds better." "Nonsense, the best-sounding name of a brand name is Poppy." "I prefer Dian Crimson Lips, but it seems that I don't like this word brand name. I can't even remember it. "Wait, with the leader in mind, other voices started to appear.
"Yes, they are all beautiful." Gu Lu said, "Even Chinese can be so beautiful that it makes reality stressful. There is a city in Lu Province called Qixia, which lives under the colorful clouds. There is a city in Xuancheng The town is called Qinxi, like a clear stream with strings. It is difficult to achieve this beauty in reality."
Then King Gulu gave many examples, such as the beauty of age and the beauty of rhyme.
“If you have the opportunity to come to China in the future, you can go to the National Library of China to take a look. The four books of "Sikuquanshu", "Dunhua Posthumous Notes", "Zhaocheng Gold Collection" and "Yongle Dadian" are the four major national libraries. "The treasures of the museum," Gu Lu said at the end, "Unfortunately, three of the four treasures of the museum are missing, and the "Zhao Cheng Jin Zang" is also missing. So many books that record beautiful Chinese characters can no longer be seen, and many very beautiful words can no longer be seen. Therefore, this activity is very meaningful, so that Chinese characters can be communicated and brought to life. It will be lost.”
After finishing speaking, Gu Lu received the warmest applause so far. It is also because the content is relatively relaxed and does not cover anything heavy. After all, we are all students and cannot understand complex things.
The speech was also quite sincere.
First of all, Gu Lu is not discriminating or anything. He truly feels that Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world, bar none!
“It’s a little bit worse.” Professor Lu said.
"Please give me some advice, teacher." Gu Lu said immediately.
“A projection screen should be installed to subtitle the content of your speech.” Professor Lu said, “You should still see the text. A lot of the beauty is just spoken and cannot be felt.”
I heard Professor Lu continue to say that when I go to Malaysia next time and give a lecture again, the projection must be arranged.
It makes sense. Gu Lu thought that when he entered high school, Lao Ban also told how beautiful "Chu Ci" was.
Most of the students present were confused at that time, but it’s okay now because they are relatively common words.
“The beauty of Chinese characters comes largely from the pictorial feel of hieroglyphs.” Gu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and listened to the speeches of other teachers.
The theme of his original writing was the sense of Chinese pictures, which was cut into Huang Tingjian's "carefree and close to the road, resting and comforting the tired". Later, I thought about taking care of overseas Chinese, so I changed it to today’s topic. I have to say that I made the right choice.
The sensation of the Chinese hero lasted for about three hours, and there must have been a break in the middle to go to the toilet. Even so, the students' patience ran out after two hours, and many students were impatient, but overall the results were good.
After Gu Lu was ready, his classmates came to him to ask for autographs. There were really two of them...but why were they holding basketballs and markers?
We rested in the Lion City that day and flew to Kuala Lumpur in the afternoon of the second day.
Malaysia’s economy is still much worse than that of the Lion City, and Gu Lu’s influence in Malaysia is slightly weaker than that of the Lion City. The main reason is that the influence of Taiwanese dramas and Japanese comics is a bit weaker, but the number of students is still much larger than in previous classes.
To put it bluntly, even if Gu Lu does nothing, the public-funded accommodation and meals are worth every penny. What’s more, Gu Lu’s sharing in both activities won the praise of the students. .
As expected, Professor Lu helped Gu Lu with the subtitles the second time, so the beauty of Chinese conveyed the second time was more accurate than the first time.
It ended with the teacher’s business trip.
"Teacher, I will fly directly to Paris. I just have something to do." Gu Lu and Professor Lu went their separate ways at Kuala Lumpur Airport.
"Have you thought about it, Xiao Gu? Should you accept the Chinese teaching job?" Professor Lu asked before leaving.
The activities of the Chinese teaching heroes sound quite good. In fact, it is a very important part in the promotion of Chinese characters. Only by cultivating more Chinese teachers can we teach more students. If we follow this path, our position in the country will be very stable.
Look at Teacher Qu’s eyes, he really wants to take over this class.
“I can’t be a teacher,” Gu Lu told about his time as an expert in a think tank and the tasks he would follow in practice.
"No wonder it's not necessary. It turns out that the task is heavier than mine." Professor Lu said with a smile, "Those who are capable work hard, hahaha."
Seeing the closed disciple standing so high, Professor Lu also looked satisfied.
Teacher Qu’s pupils were shocked twice. Professor Lu, as the head of the Chinese Department of Peking University, is an expert, so there is no problem. The key is that Gu Lu is also an expert!
Two planes, one for the return trip and one for Europe.
On the return flight, Professor Lu saw Teacher Qu with a calm face. The former couldn't help but comfort him, "Little Qu, don't think so much. Some people have top-notch talents, so don't compare yourself."
< br>"No, I just remembered that I didn't buy a souvenir for my daughter." Comparing myself to Gu Lu? Teacher Qu is not crazy!
"It seems...I didn't buy it either." Professor Lu also fell silent.
A few days after Professor Lu and Teacher Qu returned to China, the domestic Global Times exposed big news.
