Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

He Yuzhu took his admission ticket and found his examination room. Two teachers were standing at the door of the classroom. They were checking whether you had brought any cheat sheets. The check was very simple, as long as you didn't bring any textbooks or review materials. It was not like in the postmodern era, where there were scanners and cameras, and they checked at every level like they were checking spies, for fear that you might make the slightest move.

In this day and age, let alone review materials, many people can’t even find the textbooks, let alone copy them!

The old classrooms, dilapidated walls, and the desks that have been corroded by time seem to be telling the vicissitudes of this school. The wheel of history has rolled over them, leaving behind countless "early" characters, as if warning future generations to work hard and study well.

He Yuzhu put the pencil case on the table while laughing secretly. There was nothing he could do about it. The feeling of reliving the past was indescribable.

Soon, the bell rang, and the invigilator reiterated the exam room discipline. Then, someone in charge of distributing the test papers came in and handed the sealed test papers to the invigilator. After the two sides completed the handover, they began to distribute the papers. After ensuring that every candidate had received one, they immediately gave the order to start answering the questions.

Looking at the big black title "1977 College Entrance Examination (Kyoto City) Chinese Test Paper!"

Is this the college entrance examination paper?

He Yuzhu looked unbelievable. Why? Because there were only two questions on the test paper. Two questions, can you believe it?

The first question was composition, 80 points. This was my year of fighting!

The second question is divided into two sub-questions, with a total of 20 points.

The first question is, in the following passages, what does "the backbone of the country" mean? What kind of people did "this kind of people" and "a part of the people" refer to at that time? What fallacy did Lu Xun criticize in the text and how did he criticize it?

Since ancient times, we have had people who work hard, people who work hard, people who plead for the people, people who sacrifice their lives for the law... Although the so-called "official history" is equivalent to writing a genealogy for emperors and generals, it often cannot cover up their glory. This is the backbone of the country.

There are still many people of this kind even now. They are confident and do not deceive themselves. They fight one after another, but they are always being destroyed, obliterated, and annihilated in darkness, and cannot be known by everyone.

Saying that Chinese people have lost their self-confidence may be used to refer to a part of the people, but if it is applied to the whole nation, it is simply slander.

"Have the Chinese Lost Their Confidence?" was written in September 1934.

(“~” represents the Chinese character “中”)

He Yuzhu took a closer look and thought, this is too simple!

He immediately spread out the test paper and started answering the questions. He wrote quickly and finished this small question in just a few minutes.

Let’s look at the second question and translate the following classical Chinese into modern Chinese: Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround them if you have ten of them, to attack them if you have five of them, to divide them if you have twice the number of them, to fight them if you are the enemy, to escape if they are fewer than you, to avoid them if you are not as good as you…Thus it is said: If you know yourself and the enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; if you know yourself but not the enemy, you will win one and lose one; if you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will be in danger in every battle.

This question was a bit difficult. He Yuzhu only knew the allusion of “know yourself and know your enemy” but didn’t know where it came from. He had no choice but to ask the system for help. After a quick search, the answer came out instantly. It turned out to be from “The Art of War by Sun Tzu·Offensive Strategy”, which was not in the textbook at all. It was really tricky.

I hurriedly copied down the answers. There is one reference question at the end, and I noted it down (After finishing all the questions above and checking them carefully, you can do the reference questions below. You can do the reference questions or not. The scores of the reference questions are not included in the total score and are not used as the basis for admission or not. They are only used as a reference for whether you can skip grades after admission!).

Translate the following classical Chinese into modern Chinese: "From the entrance of the West Mountain Road, go north, cross the Huangmao Ridge and go down. There are two roads. One goes west, but I found nothing there. The other goes slightly north and east, but no more than 40 meters. The soil is broken and the river is divided. There is a pile of stones across the edge. On top of it is the shape of a beam. Next to it is a fortress, like a door. When you look inside, it is pitch black. Throw a small stone into the hole and you can hear the sound of water. The sound is so loud that it lasts for a long time. You can circle it and go up, and you can see far away. There is no soil, but good trees and beautiful arrows grow there, which are even more strange and strong. There are many sparse and uneven stones, which seem to be built by a wise man."

He Yuzhu felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember where it came from. However, adhering to the principle of not leaving any questions empty-handed, he still wrote down the answer, of course, still relying on the system.

After finishing the small questions, the next step is the highlight - the composition, "My Year of Fighting". This is not difficult. Dig deep into what happened in the past year, pick out a few representative things, lay the groundwork first, then focus on them, then sensationalize, and finally sing praises. It's a familiar formula, familiar taste, it's simply perfect.

After organizing his thoughts, He Yuzhu began to write furiously, first making a rough draft, and then checking to see if there were any typos or taboos. Special times require special treatment!

The next step is to copy, write every word carefully, word by word. As the old saying goes, the handwriting reflects the appearance of the article. No matter how well the article is written, if the handwriting is too ugly, I'm sorry, you will lose points. Otherwise, you will get extra points. This is a matter of experience, and He Yuzhu has a very deep understanding of it.

After finishing writing, he looked at the watch and found that it was not yet ten o'clock, which meant that he finished it in less than an hour!

In contrast, others were still answering the questions carefully, cherishing every minute and every second. After all, they had all suffered and been tired, and such an opportunity was not easy to come by.

However, He Yuzhu had a good attitude. He checked it again and when he saw that there were no problems, he decided to hand in the paper early.

The invigilator probably didn't expect that under such circumstances, there would be people who handed in their papers early. They really don't know how to cherish their time.

Anyone who dares to hand in the paper early is either a genius or a fool.

But He Yuzhu looks like a handsome man, not a fool!

When the two teachers took the test paper from He Yuzhu, the first thing that caught their eyes was the beautiful handwriting. This was regular script, and it could not be written without more than ten years of practice. It was flowing like clouds and running water, so beautiful. It was clearly a copybook!

Looking at the article again, I find that the sentences are fluent, first praising and then criticizing, and it quotes from classics. After reading it carefully, it is simply amazing.

"Talent!"

After a long time, one of the invigilators sighed.

When He Yuzhu came out of the examination room, Zhu Lin was standing at the gate looking forward to it. He was very touched!

I couldn't help but hold her little face in my hands and said lovingly, "Silly girl, didn't I tell you to go home and wait for me?"

Zhu Lin smiled foolishly and said, "I just want to see you come out!"

So silly, so cute!

He Yuzhu pinched Zhu Lin's little nose, then picked her up and put her on the bicycle, saying with a smile: "Let's go home!"

The silly girl leaned happily on He Yuzhu's back and gently hugged his waist. They were a perfect couple, so loving!

The two went to the vegetable market first, and then returned home, where Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu were already waiting.

Mother Zhu asked anxiously, "Yuzhu, how did you do on the exam?"

"Not bad, I estimate I can get over 80 points!" He Yuzhu said confidently.

"It's pretty good. You're a latecomer, but you should be proud of such achievements!" Zhu's father also laughed.

After lunch, He Yuzhu rushed to the examination room again. This time he didn't let Zhu Lin accompany him. It was winter now and his legs and feet were numb from the cold in the classroom, let alone waiting outside.

Math exams in the past have always been like disasters, and this time was no exception. When the papers were handed out, many people were confused and scratched their heads in anxiety.

He Yuzhu is different. In his eyes, can these be called questions? If they were put in the future, they would be considered junior high school level at best, which is too ordinary.

There are five big questions in total, each worth 20 points. The first two are algebraic analysis, which is divided into five small questions. This is not difficult, and He Yuzhu quickly figured out the answers.

The third question is a geometry problem. Suppose AD is the height of triangle ABC. Take point E on line segment BC so that <EAC=<BAD. Extend AE to intersect the circumcircle of the triangle at point F. Prove that AF is the diameter of the circumcircle of the triangle.

Based on the literal explanation, it is estimated that some people have already drawn a picture in their minds. Does it look familiar? Yes, this can only be regarded as the standard of practice questions in later generations, but now it appears in the college entrance examination questions, which is obviously giving us free points!

The third question was about a quadratic equation related to X. You set a value for A and then find two real roots. This was also very simple. You could get the answer with a little calculation. The fourth and fifth questions were both function questions, which were slightly more difficult, but for He Yuzhu, they were a matter of minutes.

However, he didn't know whether the formula he knew existed in this era, so he still used the system. After reference, he found that there were indeed some differences. What is taught in the current textbooks can only be regarded as definitions, which is a general concept. There are not many formulas that can be borrowed. Think about how Qian Lao verified the atomic theory, and you can imagine how low the level of mathematics in China is.

Of course, this refers to ordinary people, except geniuses, like Mr. Hua, Mr. Fu, etc., but they are a minority after all. Moreover, due to the special period, their research results have been treated as protected objects and have not been open to the public, which has led to the current situation.

After writing down the answers and checking them again to confirm that they were correct, He Yuzhu handed in the paper early again.

The next morning's exam was on politics, which was basically a waste of time, so the only sound in the entire exam room was the clatter of typing. It seemed that everyone was very experienced.

The afternoon exams were on physics and chemistry. Many people burst into tears again. There was nothing they could do as most of them had returned from the countryside. In those years, let alone chemistry, even fertilizers were not seen. There was only manure. But they couldn't write about how manure was fermented, right?

This time, He Yuzhu made it to the end. To be honest, his chemistry is also his weak point. Fortunately, he had the help of the system, otherwise he would have been as helpless as everyone else.

After two days of tension, the college entrance examination was finally over. He Yuzhu felt pretty good. According to his estimation, the total score would be at least 350 points, so admission to Tsinghua University was a sure thing.

When they got home, there was no choice but to celebrate. The family happily had a big meal, and then He Yuzhu took his young wife back to the courtyard.

The long-lost Third Uncle was still keeping watch at the gate. He was so happy to see He Yuzhu coming back.

"Zhu Zi, how did you do in the exam this time?" asked the third uncle with a smile.

“Feeling good about myself, haha!”

"Okay, I'm sure to be on the list of successful candidates, and you have to treat me when the time comes!" The third uncle finally showed his true colors.

"That's nothing to say!"

It is indeed worth being happy if you really pass the exam, and there is nothing wrong with setting up a table in the courtyard.

When she arrived at the central courtyard, Qin Huairu was standing by the sink washing clothes as expected. When she saw He Yuzhu and his wife coming back, she quietly put away the basin and went home, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Wife, let's go home!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Lin happily went to open the door.
