Chapter 67 Campus Symposium
Liu Hongmin’s rhetoric did not persuade the students to let him go. He said helplessly: “Without people like you, how could the author himself evaluate his own work?”
But no matter what he said, everyone just wasn't going to let him go.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
A professor separated from the crowd and walked in, "Students, I know you want Liu Hongmin to talk about your creative experience, so , we might as well hold a symposium.”
When the students heard this, they cheered immediately.
“Hold a symposium!”
Liu Hongmin was helpless, he wanted to refuse. The symposium is just a group of people praising their work, which is not interesting at all.
The professor saw that Liu Hongmin was unwilling and said with a smile: "Classmate Liu Hongmin, your classmates are so enthusiastic, so don't refuse."
Liu Hongmin looked at the pair of eager eyes. It’s hard to speak.
"Okay! However, we need to wait for a few days for the symposium."
"It's okay, we can afford to wait!"
The professor said to the students around him: "Everyone goes back first Waiting for news, I will discuss this matter. After confirming the time, I will post the time and place of the symposium on the blackboard on the first floor of the Chinese Department teaching building. "
The students heard this. Then they dispersed.
Liu Hongmin rolled his eyes and thought: If this matter is delayed, it should be over.
Unexpectedly, the professor seemed to know what Liu Hongmin was thinking, "Student Liu Hongmin, the final exam is in a few days, why not schedule it on the first day after the final exam!"
Liu Hongmin: "It's a holiday, isn't it?"
"It's a holiday so that everyone has time! And the classrooms are all vacant. Then I will be in the public classroom of the Chinese Department. The school applied for it.”
“It’s a bit bad to delay everyone’s vacation!”
“If you can attend the symposium, you won’t have to go home for a day or two. I heard that you can. Your family is coming to the capital for the New Year? Don’t try to escape! Otherwise, I’ll send someone to arrest you!”
Liu Hongmin opened his mouth, "Are you a professor?" Still a scoundrel?
The professor didn't care about him, "That's it, you take the exam well and I will arrange the rest."
When the professor walked away, Liu Hongmin muttered: "I haven't done it yet. I agree!”
The matter of the symposium was settled in this way. It was useless for Liu Hongmin to think about it and he could only prepare for the final exam first. There is a bit of a problem with this final exam, because when it comes to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the current textbooks deviate greatly from the history that Liu Hongmin believes.
The main reason is that the time spent on "History of the Song Dynasty" and "History of the Yuan Dynasty" is too short. It actually took one and a half years to revise the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" in the Ming Dynasty, and two and a half years to revise the "History of the Song Dynasty" in the Yuan Dynasty. Many things They are all copied directly from other history books. The content is complicated and the quality is worrying.
Before time traveling, Liu Hongmin liked to read online novels. He could read online novels with millions of words in a week. The speed was as fast as one glance and ten lines. Liu Hongmin could read an A4-sized page in two or three glances, which was densely packed with information.
When reading the Twenty-Four Histories before, Liu Hongmin went through it in the same way and had a general understanding of the content, but it only left an impact and could not remember the specific content at all. Therefore, he was able to read more than half of the Twenty-Four Histories in half a month. However, when I read the second half of the book, I just couldn't stand it. Starting from the "Old Book of Tang", "History of the Song Dynasty" and "History of the Yuan Dynasty" have become more complicated and more difficult to master. There is too much information in it, and there are many records of the same thing, so people don’t know which one to believe.
Liu Hongmin likes textual research and often integrates information from ancient books into history. It's okay to do historical research, but not for exams.
The exam must have correct answers, so the mainstream view of history will be chosen. In order to take the exam, Liu Hongmin could only revise his view of history. When his family came to the capital, he took leave to read textbooks at home. For this reason, he did not write the outline of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" to avoid being distracted and unable to pass the exam.
There are eight hundred pairs of eyes in the history department staring at him. He must have failed the class, and these people will definitely cause trouble.
Liu Hongmin had good adjustment ability and passed the exam smoothly. Only then did he have time to worry about the symposium.
It’s definitely impossible not to go. The professor is Professor Yin Falu, majoring in classical literature, and Liu Hongmin is very familiar with him. Ge Chaoguang and the others only went to the courtyard to study ancient books on weekends at first, and then they also went there from Monday to Friday, because Professor Yin Falu gave the green light.
In this way, Liu Hongmin owed him a favor. Therefore, this bit of face still needs to be given.
After the exam, Liu Hongmin did not go back to the courtyard directly. Instead, he stayed in the dormitory and sorted out his thoughts when writing "The Tang Dynasty" overnight.
The next morning, Liu Hongmin, surrounded by Zhao Zhizhong and others, went to the open class classroom of the Chinese Department.
This classroom is very large and can accommodate two to three hundred people, which is equivalent to a multimedia classroom in the future.
When Zha Jianying held a reading club before, it was in this classroom. Now that he is revisiting his old place, Liu Hongmin has no trouble in his heart. He feels that he has let go.
Professor Yin Falu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Liu Hongmin arriving, he immediately smiled and said, "I thought you had given up!"
Liu Hongmin laughed sarcastically, "How is that possible, Professor? I must give it to you!”
Professor Yin Falu pointed to a group of middle-aged people in the front row, "Actually, I am also entrusted by others. You should know these professors majoring in literature, right? They want to hold a symposium, but they are too shy to talk to them themselves. You said. So, I volunteered and took over this job."
Liu Hongmin knew that these professors from the literature major were embarrassed to find him. Firstly, they were not familiar with him, and secondly, he and Zha Jian were not familiar with each other. Ying had just broken up and was greatly affected by this, almost falling into despair.
However, he also had some vague guesses about Professor Yin Falu's behavior. Professor Yin Falu probably knew his situation, so he wanted to help him get to know more people he could talk to in Organization D.
“Thank you!”
Liu Hongmin’s sincere thanks made Yin Falu feel that his efforts were not in vain.
“Do a good job, I’m optimistic about you!”
Soon, the open class classroom was full of people.
Professor Yin Falu made an opening statement, and then gave the podium to Liu Hongmin, "The next step is up to you."
Liu Hongmin put the manuscript on the table and looked at everyone below.
"Teachers and classmates, I am Liu Hongmin. A few days ago, many students wanted me to give an evaluation of "Datang". I said at that time: When an author evaluates his own work, there is a kind of king It feels like a mother-in-law sells melons. Today, I still have this view. I can’t comment on my own work. However, I can tell you what I thought when I wrote "Datang"..."
