In terms of qualifications, the status of "National Jingshi No. [-] Senior High School" in middle schools is more prominent and subtle than the status of Jingshi University in universities.

In the first year of the Republic of China, the New Deal began, and everything was destroyed.Education is state-owned. For the sake of simplicity, all primary and secondary schools are named with numbers: first, second, third...and so on.National Jingshi No. [-] High School, referred to as "Guoyi High", is the former resident school of the New Political Party Headquarters. It moved to the capital with the central administrative agency. After several restructurings, until now, the teachers, equipment, students, and enrollment rate are all top-notch. , has become a high-profile key high school.

Fang Sishen saw the school gate from a distance, and was stunned for a moment.It is said to be a school gate, but it is actually just a row of shiny electric guardrails, with a tall flagpole standing in the middle.He had seen this kind of "gate" when he passed by some large institutions. When the button was pressed, the guardrail opened silently, which was eight lanes wide.The majestic red brick walls and thick black iron gates of the past have long since disappeared.Only the big stone engraved with the name of the school inscribed by the founding head of state was moved from the school garden to the front of the flagpole outside the gate.

About six or seven years ago, Fang Sishen was a transfer student here for a very short period of time.Short enough for him to fight for his half-sister who was a freshman in high school before going to college.Looking back now, except for the family affection from my sister, those few months of high school life were blank.

Universities are mostly located in the northwest of the capital, and Guoyi High School was originally located in Tianshuifang in the southeast because of the need to facilitate the children of the directly-affiliated institutions.After graduation, there is no chance to pass by.

"Student, which class are you in?"

Fang Sishen was awakened by the guard's serious question.He didn't react for a while, and looked at the other party a little blankly.

"According to the latest regulations of the Department of Political Affairs and Education, you are not allowed to enter the school without wearing a school uniform. Didn't your class teacher tell you?"

"I'm not……"

The doorman didn't wait for him to finish, with a look of sudden realization: "Are you asking for leave? Which class? Call the class supervisor."

"I'm not a student." Fang Sishen finally seized the opportunity to announce.Immediately added: "I am not a student here."

After all, doctoral students are still students.This supplement is superfluous, but the habit of not telling lies is deeply rooted in my childhood.As an adult, I slowly learn to tell some prepared lies and selective truths.

Seeing the other party's scrutiny, Fang Sishen hurriedly said: "I'm from the Chinese Academy of Capital University, and I'm looking for Mr. Hu Yixin from the Chinese language group, please tell me."

The guard looked at him twice before picking up the walkie-talkie to find someone.

Fang Sishen couldn't help touching his chin.Because I was going to see a job, I specially tidied up in front of the mirror this morning, which seemed to be counterproductive.He took the college entrance examination when he was less than 17 years old, and graduated with a master's degree at the age of 22, becoming the youngest doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.After so many years of wandering in the ivory tower, he looks like a student from the inside out. At first glance, he looks more like a high school student than some high school students who are familiar with world affairs. It is no wonder that the doorman admits his mistake.

After the call was made, the guard confirmed the identity of the visitor, pointed out the direction and told him to enter.

Several new buildings have been erected on the campus, and even the original old buildings have already changed their appearance.

Fang Sishen found the office of the Chinese Language Team of the second year of high school.Just in time for class break, boys and girls with excess energy rampage in the aisle, speaking the language of Mars that is half-understandable.The sharp-eyed person spotted this strange face, and immediately grabbed his companion, watching and speculating wantonly from a distance of three to five meters.

The overly enthusiastic atmosphere made Fang Sishen feel extremely uncomfortable.He began to regret agreeing to his sister.

Years of academic career have given him the habit of being prepared.There are too many unknown variables in this work.Teaching Chinese studies to middle school students in the second year of high school... Fang Sishen recalled his short high school experience, and it seemed that ordinary students had never even heard of the word Chinese studies.Perhaps, the so-called popularization of Chinese studies in the field of basic education is just like other movements in my impression, with strong winds and clouds flying, and the idle flowers fall to the ground and there is no sound.

Looking at the few students who were watching him in front of him, they were all wearing school uniforms, but they seemed to be wearing various styles.The tops were either left open or tied at the waist, in short, the colorful low-necked T-shirts covered in Western letters were exposed.There are two girls with neatly cut bangs, from the eyebrow line to the shoulders, which grow step by step, like the Japanese geisha in the Ukiyo-e paintings of the last century.

Fang Sishen immediately felt that "Guoxue" was really an infinitely distant term.

The office was very noisy, and almost every desk was surrounded by students.Finally, a teacher noticed the stranger standing by the door, Fang Sishen pointed to the corner: "I'm sorry, I'm looking for Teacher Hu." The teacher raised his head and was about to shout, Fang Sishen waved his hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, let her work first , I'll wait a while." Then, he walked to the corner behind Hu Yixin and waited quietly.

Teacher Hu spread out the test paper in front of him, gesticulating with his fingers, commanding suavely.The two boys were bowing their heads and listening.

"You, tell me what are the known conditions for this question?"

"It is known: the genre is seven character verses, the event is climbing, the character is Du Fu, the time is autumn, and the location is along the Yangtze River."

When Fang Sishen heard this, he knew that the question on the test paper must be about Du Zimei's famous novel "Climbing the High".

"Read it again, are there any supplementary conditions?"

Another boy said: "Yes. It can be seen that the weather is bad and the wind is quite strong. The apes are screaming miserably. The water is very clear and there are many birds. The third sentence says..."

Teacher Hu interrupted him: "Jin couplet!"

"Well, the couplet says there are boundless fallen trees, so it can be seen that there are quite a lot of trees - there are many kinds of wild animals, the vegetation is lush, and the water has not been polluted. This shows that the environment is very well protected..."

"Stop!" Teacher Hu slapped the table.Fang Sishen almost laughed out loud.My younger sister said impatiently: "In Lao Du's time, environmental protection was not a problem. Did he write these scenes to show off how good the environment is to you a thousand years from now?"

The boy was amused: "I don't think so either. Teacher, you don't know, I did a research competition for a holiday, and it was all about environmental protection..."

Hu Yixin waved his hand to stop, and let the boy in the lead speak.

The boy looked puzzled: "Teacher, where do you think he is standing in order to see the 'Yangtze River Rolling'? In this way, he must stand facing the river, which means that after the river flows to the foot of the mountain where he is standing Turn the corner..."

Hu Yixin nodded weakly: "It makes sense, but it needs to be verified. You can go back and discuss it carefully with the geography teacher. Now you can see if there are any known conditions?" Fang Sishen looked at his sister's profile and felt deeply sympathetic.

"Hmm... It's not easy to understand the latter, but it can be seen that he is quite depressed and seems to be sick. 'On stage', it should be climbing a mountain alone..."

Teacher Hu corrected: "Climbing alone!"

"Well, climbing alone. There are also 'toughness and bitterness', 'down and out' and so on. They all look quite depressed."

"Yes, the emotional tone is quite accurate. Okay, that's all for the exact known conditions. Let's sort it out. What are there?"

The boy who talked about environmental protection was the first to say: "When the autumn is very cold, um, Du Fu is very depressed, so he climbed up to the high platform by the Yangtze River alone, heard the monkeys calling, saw the birds flying, and the leaves were blown down by the wind, um... etc."

He hummed for a long time, and finally only said "wait".Teacher Hu took it for granted, nodded and said: "Very good. Please analyze the first question according to the formula of 'scene relationship': How does the imagery in this poem reflect the characteristics of the blending of scenes?"

"Well, I think, from the first four sentences, um, the first two couplets, you can know what scenery is written." The boy glanced at the teacher and changed his words, "No, it's an image. From the last two couplets, you can probably know what kind of emotion it is. Write the scenery first. , and then write love, um...yes, this is called "touching the scene to generate love". Then look at the word "sorrow" in the description of the scene, and "bitterness and hatred" and "down and out" in the description of the love, so the characteristics of the scene are consistent with the nature of the emotion , so it is said that 'scenario blending' has been achieved."

Hu Yixin clapped his hands: "Children can be taught! Remember to put what you just said into writing when you look back." Ask another boy: "What's the solution to the second question? Do you have any ideas?"

"The second question is what are the author's 'hardships and hatreds'? Illness probably counts, being alone is quite lonely, so it should be counted, and..."

Seeing him stuck, Hu Yixin asked: "What is Shuang Temple?"

"Probably... the weather is so cold that even my hair is frosted."

Fang Sishen thought: At last he knew that 'temple' refers to hair.

The boy who was listening was better and couldn't help but help: "Shuang's temples have white hair."

"Ah, that counts. Long white hair must be depressing, my mother is, every time I help her pull her gray hair, she will be depressed for a long time."

Fang Sishen felt that let alone his sister, he was about to explode.

Then the ready bell rang.

Hu Yixin handed the test papers to the two of them: "Go back and memorize the formula 'Knowing People and Discussing the World' three times, make a list of the implied conditions that can be deduced, and come back to the second question tomorrow!"

The students clattered away, and the teachers who had classes packed up and went to work quickly, and the office fell silent in an instant.

Hu Yixin found Fang Sishen, opened his mouth to address him, but stopped suddenly: "Fang, Teacher Fang, why didn't you call me when you came?"

Fang Sishen reciprocated politely: "Mr. Hu, hello."

Hu Yixin didn't want the brother-sister relationship to cause unnecessary trouble, so he just told the school to introduce a senior brother to do part-time social practice.

"I'll take you to report to the Academic Affairs Office."

Fang Sishen followed, but there was an uproar, and a few boys hid outside the door... they scattered, chattering and joking while running.This one yelled: "Sister Xin, you won't introduce us to your boyfriend when he comes!" The other yelled: "Is it sibling love? Sister Xin is so trendy!"

Ever since he started working, in order to impress the students, Hu Yixin tried his best to dress up in an old-fashioned way every time he went to work.She was originally only less than one year younger than Fang Sishen, but now they are standing together, it really feels like a sister and brother.

Hu Yixin pointed at those naughty ghosts from a distance, and shouted viciously: "Wait for me! If you are late for class, everyone will deduct five points for conduct!" He mumbled in a low voice while walking, "These brats can't take care of them at a glance. It's turned upside down!"

Walking out of the teaching building, with no one around, Fang Sishen tentatively said, "Yixin, I still feel...that I am not suitable."

Hu Yixin suddenly raised his head and glared at him: "What do you mean? I made a guarantee with the dean of teaching and squeezed out other people's recommendations—you dare to send me to the middle of the river?!"

"No, no, I just think that I have never dealt with minors... I have attended several seminars in the University for the Elderly."

Hu Yixin suddenly understood what his brother was afraid of, and smiled: "You are not scared by those two who talked about "Climbing the High" just now, are you? Don't worry, that is the baby of the science experiment class. There is no such superb class in the elective class!"

As a new teacher with only one year of service, Hu Yixin is not qualified to teach the experimental class.Unexpectedly, he made a great contribution after entering the school, and he also showed considerable talent in taking the test, so he was assigned to a key class in the second school year.

Fang Sishen couldn't help being curious: "You just tell them ancient poems like that? What is the formula of 'relationship between situations' and the formula of 'knowing people and discussing the world'?"

"That's right. Everyone's head of mathematics, physics and chemistry can't figure out poetry. In this way, one set of formulas can score points. Is it possible to explain to them what is meant by 'implicit meaning', 'beyond image', and 'taste beyond taste' ', 'The purpose beyond the rhyme'?"

Fang Sishen shook his head: "However, many masters in natural science can write good metrical poems."

"That was 50 years ago, okay?" Hu Yixin disagreed.These two brothers and sisters, the younger sister is used to the pedantic style of the older brother, and the older brother is used to the nervousness of the younger sister, and they have a good understanding.

"Why do you take the exam at the beginning of school?"

"Ah, this is called 'holiday achievement test'. It has been a tradition for several years. Take the test at the beginning of the school, so as to save the students from going too crazy during the holiday."

Fang Sishen asked himself that he had little practical experience in education, especially basic education, and lacked professional research, so he remained silent.He asked in turn: "Why are elective courses placed on weekends?" Although weekends are more suitable for him, he is still curious.

"Isn't this about exam-oriented education and quality education? Both hands have to be hard! Research elective courses take half a day, and if they take up normal class hours, you can't even finish the content of the exam syllabus. By the way, don't tell people casually, In case someone asks, don't say that you come to class, you can only mention 'coaching after-school extension activities', and it must be emphasized that students participate voluntarily."

"This... well."

Knowing that his brother is not good at lying, Hu Yixin said: "Anyone who meddles in business and asks where you are going on weekends, you should tell him to go on a date."

"It's… okay."

After registering at the Academic Affairs Office, I asked about the first year's class situation, inquired about the rules of work, rest and attendance, and had lunch in the cafeteria with my sister as the host. Fang Sishen returned to Beijing Normal University with the list of students who chose courses.Remembering that before leaving, the academic director of Guoyi High also stared at himself several times, fearing that his face was too tender to restrain the students.He has never had the habit of growing a beard. He remembers that there is a pair of plain glasses in the drawer, which are used to block the sand in windy weather. After wearing them, he looks a bit mature, and they can be used as props.

Entering the dormitory building, a person came face to face in the corridor.Glancing at him from the corner of the eye, there was no need to say hello, and he walked forward without squinting.But the other party stopped and said loudly: "Fang Sishen, I was looking for you."

Fang Sishen had no choice but to stop: "Brother Kou, what do you want me for?"

Kou Jianzong seemed to be looking at him, but he didn't look him straight in the face. He said indifferently with a bit of disdain, "About the topic selection of your doctoral thesis." He paused deliberately, waiting for his reaction.

Fang Sishen raised his head: "I will discuss this with Professor Zhang myself."

"No need. Professor Zhang wants me to inform you that since you have withdrawn from the 'Jiajin Bamboo and Silk Project' and the professor will not have time to take care of other subjects before the project is over, I suggest you apply to the National Academy for a replacement supervisor."

Fang Sishen was stunned, then nodded slowly: "I see." After speaking, he lifted his legs and left.

The moment they passed each other, Kou Jianzong suddenly said: "I warned you earlier. It's a pity that you are too proud, and you can't listen to your honest words." He couldn't hide his pride in his words.

Fang Sishen turned around: "Brother Kou, thank you for your suggestion. It's just that I saw it, so I can't pretend I didn't see it. I think it should be said, I can't pretend I'm dumb."

Kou Jianzong said disdainfully: "The result? You can't even graduate now! You said you want to find evidence, have you found it? Do you believe it?"

Fang Sishen looked at him for a while, then pointed to his chest: "Brother, the evidence is not with me, but in your heart. Maybe it's still in the hearts of Professor Zhang and other professors. I know about this matter, you know, Professor Zhang must be Yes, I believe that many people in the expert group know. Everyone is neither blind nor dumb—even if they have to pretend to be blind, those who know know that they know. This is the evidence," he said, turned around and left.

Kou Jianzong was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses, snorted, turned his head and left.
