Chapter 278 I'm embarrassed if I don't give you any benefits
"It's been removed," "No wonder the video is so long," "Is it still Principal Song? It's been seven or eight years." These comments are very normal reactions.
But after a few seconds, a row of messages may appear, such as "High energy warning ahead", "High energy ahead", "High energy warning, I say again, this is not a drill", etc.
Ever since this line was born in Mobile Suit Gundam in 79, and then fueled by EVA around the millennium, "High Energy Ahead" has been widely used on the Internet.
Netizens were curious, what could be so powerful in a closing speech? Was he booed off by students?
Immediately afterwards, I heard Principal Song talking about the origin of the May Fourth Youth Day and quoting the teacher's words.
Recite the concluding paragraph of Young China again.
In particular, Zhao Mingming had some talent for photography and captured some personal reactions.
Mu Xue came in first, and she didn't speak at first, because she couldn't shout out because of her face. But the atmosphere around her heated up, and she saw Mu Xue gradually getting excited.
Other students——
Or yell with a red face.
Or shout at the top of your lungs.
Or the voice may grow louder and louder, from small to large.
Or they wave their hands and shout, as if sound alone is not enough to express themselves.
The voices became more and more uniform, until the whole school was united.
Even though the audio reception of Zhao Mingming's equipment was a bit poor, the youthful spirit of China still poured out of the screen.
It was like dropping eye drops into the eyes, and netizens who watched the video felt their eyes instantly refreshed.
The comments section exploded with messages:
"Every time the teacher said we are the future of the motherland, I was very worried, because with my condition, there is no hope for the future of the motherland. Now seeing them, there is hope for the motherland again."
"From today on, I must study hard and become a useful young man."
This type of comments were inspired by the passion in the video, and many netizens vowed to study hard. The current mood is definitely real, but it is rare for true feelings to last for a week.
"Oh my god, if my principal was this good when I was studying, would I still fail to get into high school?"
"I heard that the president of our university is marrying a student who is 20 years younger than her. It's really annoying to compare yourself with others."
This kind of message is a bit of a blame game. Whether or not you can get into college has little to do with the principal of a school.
"Young China said, I know this article. It has been very popular in recent days. I predict that within five years, this article will be included in textbooks."
"Why is Gu Lu, a high school student, so good at writing? A river flows out of an underground stream, rushing into the ocean. A latent dragon soars into the abyss, its scales and claws flying. A young tiger roars in the valley, and all the beasts are terrified. How did he write that?"
"From the interview, it seems that Gu Lu has the habit of copying classical Chinese texts such as Zizhi Tongjian and Shiji. I can't do that anyway. Besides, I'm not afraid of textbooks, but I'm afraid of exams."
"Anecdotal information: Gu Lu's science fiction novel has been included in the exam paper. Friends in Tianjin should know this."
This type of people know the author and discuss the article and the author. If you don't discuss, you don't know. Once you discuss, you will be surprised.
Other people's sixteen-year-old essays are on the test paper, our sixteen-year-old is to be someone else's test paper...
A normal sixteen-year-old only needs to study hard, but sixteen-year-old Gu Lu has a lot more things to consider.
[Everyone is taking a break. Sorry for not having any new works.]
[I am currently very busy with my studies, so I am sorry that there are no new works coming out.]
[There will be more time after the summer vacation in July.]
Gu Lu replied to the editors and the editor-in-chief one by one. With his fame, there must be more people asking him to write for him.
The three magazines are "People's Literature", "Youth Digest" and "Science Fiction World".
That’s true. Gu Lu hasn’t had a short story based on his synthesis sequence for a long time.
"How about taking out Aimee's short story collection?" Gu Lu thought, "Now that I have written "On Young China", my rating in most people's minds has risen a level. There shouldn't be a problem."
The French short story master will definitely be published in "People's Literature".
"There's no rush." Gu Lu decided to wait a little longer.
【Carnegie Medal for Children's Literature】【Lewis Carroll Book Award】【Studio Ghibli remake】
[New Mythology] [Best Writer of Classical Horror Novels] [I.AM.PROVIDENCE]
The first one should be a long fairy tale, and the second one might be a collection of short stories.
If you haven't picked up the new Cthulhu book by summer vacation, use the Strange Saint.
After all, Gu Lu was thinking about the age of 18, probably in the third year of high school. But plans can't keep up with changes.
What are the classic lines in Cthulhu? "It's coming? It's really coming" or "Ahhh I see him?"
Gu Lu sighed, "I should have opened the book and read it in my previous life."
I really need to work harder on short stories.
At the beginning, he set himself the goal of becoming a famous short story writer in China. Now...
Question: What thoughts and feelings do the ellipsis in the text represent?
While he was thinking, the computer rang again, and Gu Lu's eyes focused.
[Liu Yong: No problem. Teacher Gu Lu, are you really unable to write the new version of the Liao Zhai series? If you write four or five more chapters, you can publish a book.]
What you said makes sense, but Mr. Wang Zengqi didn't write much. Gu Lu remembered that on Earth, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was a pocket book.
[Gu Lu: The story of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio ends here. It’s over now.]
As the editor-in-chief of People's Literature, Liu Yong has met too many famous authors. If there is nothing to write, there will be nothing, so he did not persuade them anymore.
Liu Yong then suggested whether to add the original text and make a little introduction so as to publish it in a book.
Gu Lu refused decisively. There are more than a dozen chapters in Liaozhai Xinyi, which together only have about 9.4 to 7.5 words. A bookseller on Earth had this idea, and as a result, the pocket book version scored on Douban, while the patchwork version scored .
Gu Lu is not short of money at the moment, so don't do anything to damage the monument.
"Bang bang——" there's a knock on the door.
Gu Lu glanced at the time and thought Director Hu should be here.
I stood up and opened the door, and saw Director Hu and two or three staff members standing outside.
"Thank you, Director Hu." said Gu Lu.
Three sturdy staff members began to pack the items in the room in an orderly manner.
The community office is too small.
Principal Chang changed Gu Lu's room and said, "The Publication Society is the most important club in No. 8 Middle School, just like the National Flag Guard. In order to show the unique style of No. 8 Middle School, the venue for club activities cannot be compromised."
It is over 100 square meters, the size of two classrooms.
It used to be the school’s utility room and a warehouse for sports equipment such as basketballs and badminton.
All the old desks and chairs were taken away immediately. According to Director Hu, they were donated to poorer schools in surrounding towns.
As for the sports equipment, move them back to the side of the library.
Compared to the original location, the new location is a little more remote. If you walk back from the canteen, the boys' dormitory is on the left and the warehouse is on the right.
It is close to residential buildings, and I don’t know whether it is the house allocated to teachers by the school or it was not requisitioned during construction.
If students need to use equipment during physical education classes, the physical education teacher will let them borrow it during break time.
Don't delay your play time.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the place——
The sign at the threshold [Publication Society Club Activities Office]
"This is exaggerated." Gu Lu felt this way when he walked into the new community office.
Five computers!
Two printers and a fax machine.
There is also a water dispenser and a rest corner, as well as neatly arranged workstations.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Lu feels that many editorial departments of small magazines do not have such good office conditions.
This is the pinnacle of club activities. Even the current university clubs don’t have such a scene.
"President Gu, you are wrong." Director Hu said, "The school magazine "Youth" can be said to be a well-known sign of the school. In comparison, this condition is reasonable."
After entering the club office, Director Hu no longer called him "Little Gu" but directly called him "President Gu".
Gu Lu's mentality changed for a moment. In the past, the school magazine had a bit of a playful feel. After all, it couldn't be sold without a publishing number, but now the playful mentality had completely disappeared.
"We'll move all the stuff here in a bit." Director Hu said, "President Gu, is there anything else you need?"
As Principal Chang's confidant, Director Hu couldn't believe how much benefit this wave of superiors had received. To be honest, if Principal Chang didn't give back a little to Gu Lu, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep.
"Director Hu, it's better to call him 'President' instead. It sounds awkward." Gu Lu said.
"Calling it this way in the community office is a respect for "Youth" and "Youth on China," said Director Hu.
OK, Gu Lu took a look around and found no problem.
Seeing that Xiao Gu was satisfied, Director Hu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Hu, who was about to leave, seemed to remember something and added, "The only problem with this community office is that it's a bit remote. That small door can't be opened, so it takes a little effort to get here."
"It's a bit remote, but from another perspective it's quiet, which is good," said Gu Lu.
"Then I won't disturb President Gu from his work. By the way, the activity funds for our publishing house have been transferred." Director Hu said when he left.
Wasn’t it already deposited into the card? “Because the monthly copying volume of the school magazine has increased from 100 to 1,000. The cost is definitely not enough, so the activity funds have increased a little.” Director Hu said.
It sounds like it makes sense, but it's ridiculous! The first issue was printed by an unexpected accident, but in the future, we can directly hand it over to the printing factory run by No. 8 Middle School.
The publishing house doesn't have to spend any money at all, so what are they going to do with so much activity funds?
Only after Director Hu left did Gu Lu look at the information he left behind.
The above is the list of professional instructors hired by the publishing house.
With King Guru around, anything against the will of Heaven could happen, and students would elect their instructors instead.
After just one year at No. 8 Middle School, Gu Lu left behind a lot of valuable "spiritual assets".
The popular No. 8 Middle School basketball team is ranked first in China.
Then go to the school magazine "Youth".
I can't believe what will happen before Gu Lu graduates. I guess No. 8 Middle School will erect a statue for Gu Lu by then.
Qi Caiwei did not return to school last night and went straight home after the performance.
Young Rising Star Dance Competition Gold Award. When she returned home yesterday, she immediately told Gu Lu and her classmates from the Shuren Literature Society the news.
"Wow, CC, you are wearing a skirt today. The white floral skirt looks so beautiful." Wei Jiao reacted a little too much.
The regulations of Wudu No. 8 Middle School are that students must wear school uniforms on a daily basis. But there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
No matter what you wear underneath, just wear a spring school uniform over it.
Especially in class, when students take off their coats, the teachers turn a blind eye.
"Because I had some minor problems before and didn't want to wear it." Qi Caiwei said in a low voice.
"What little problem?" Wei Jiao asked curiously.
Then Qi Caiwei whispered in Wei Jiao's ear, "When I was in junior high school, I was wearing a skirt and was molested by a bad guy in a car. At that time..."
"I had it too, but it happened to my neighbor next door." Wei Jiao also shared in a low voice.
There is a statistical data that shows that the proportion of women who are molested before they reach adulthood is shockingly high. If you are interested, you can search it yourself.
The two had something in common, and the panda had a strong desire to express himself. After he finished talking, Wei Jiao remembered something. She was disgusted before so she didn't wear a skirt, so why did she wear it again?
"I've come to terms with it? No way." Qi Caiwei said.
Wei Jiao is not stupid. "This is just a nail that is too difficult to pull out by myself. There must be other reasons, right? Tell me quickly, good sister."
In the end, Panda failed to force the answer out of him. The reason for his failure was that he was not in the dormitory, otherwise Wei Jiao could have used some other means.
Return to your seat.
"Is the publication company still recruiting people?" Qi Caiwei asked in a low voice.
"Still there." Gu Lu looked at her. His deskmate seemed to have returned to normal.
Qi Caiwei misunderstood the other person's look, and she explained, "I do have to practice dancing on Wednesday, but I read the requirements of the publication company, which is mainly reviewing manuscripts, which is convenient. I feel I can do it."
"Give me a chance." Qi Caiwei clasped her hands together and rubbed them together, begging.
"I must give you this opportunity." Gu Lu agreed.
I didn't expect it to be so easy. Qi Caiwei said excitedly, "Master, you are my light! Even Balala the Fairies' transformation is not as bright as yours."
Generally speaking, the title "Master" is only used when showing a book review to your deskmate.
Gu Lu’s current mind was not on the members. He was distracted by another matter.
It's quite troublesome.
"President Jian, are there any requirements for the types of recommendations? For example, literature that is not that serious." Gu Lu called President Jian to ask.
"Requirements? Of course I don't have any requirements." President Jian praised first, "Xiao Gu, it's a good thing that you recommend it seriously, but it's just a recommendation, you don't have to take it so seriously."
In just these two days, Gu Lu called four times about this matter.
"Since it is a recommendation list that readers all over the country can see, we must not be careless," said Gu Lu.
After asking the serious questions, the two hung up the phone. President Jian thought that Xiao Gu took this matter more seriously than he had expected.
Because Flatland was listed as a recommended subject for junior high school students by the Writers Association, and was recently recognized as an "excellent publication" by the General Administration, the front cover, second cover, third cover, and back cover of Flatland all had to be changed based on the award from the General Administration.
President Jian’s original words were, “The General Administration’s suggestion is to make the packaging more neat and the fun factor less. Sales may be affected to some extent, but we will also receive orders from libraries in various cities.”
It must be the former.
With the change, the author is asked to recommend a few novels on the third cover (the inside back cover) in order to expand students' knowledge.
After receiving the task, Gu Lu started to choose. He looked at his book list.
[Fighting spirit: "Teacher's Poetry Collection", "Halo on the Land", "The Old Man and the Sea", "A Brief History of Humankind"...
Three views: "Confessions", "Cai Gen Tan", "Han Feizi", "Qie Jie Ting Miscellaneous Essays"...
Knowledge: "A Brief History of Time", "A General History of China", "Seven Collections" ...]
According to his personal classification method, he carefully wrote down more than 50 book titles. There was "The Halo on the Land" which was unique to the parallel world, as well as famous books from both worlds, and historical reference books. This was enough to prove that Gu Lu read a lot of books. His full marks in classical Chinese and composition in the monthly and midterm exams were enough to prove it.
The problem was that he only needed to recommend seven or eight books, which was too many. Gu Lu immediately began to select them one by one.
"The Old Man and the Sea is a classic recommended after class, so I don't need to mention it specifically. If you don't know Rousseau's other works, it's easy to read The Confessions as "I repent, and those who persecute me may die." So remove it, too. In that case, then remove the following books by Rousseau..."
There is a characteristic of Gu Lu when reading physical books, that is, he reads very quickly, even without understanding the details.
But after reading a work that interests him, he will spend time reading it carefully.
He has read the above books carefully.
It took three full days and several revisions before Gu Lu sent the book list to President Jian.
Why are you so serious? Because the things you recommend to others must be good!
As June comes, the weather becomes even hotter, and the Fog City is like a pot due to its special geographical environment.
People in the Fog City are like dumplings in the pot, trying hard to put firewood under the pot.
The annual high school entrance examination is coming soon.
At the same time, there are only a few days left until the final exams of No. 8 Middle School.
Seriously speaking, all the students in No. 8 Middle School should thank King Guru. Why?
Because the education department actually allocated a sum of money to No. 8 Middle School, under the pretext of "providing students with a good learning environment", No. 8 Middle School began to replace air conditioners.
Most of the students are happy.
Except - "The school really cares about me. Knowing that I'm about to graduate, they immediately replaced the air conditioner." "Haha, that's nothing. My sister just graduated from university and the new campus was built. The dormitory is very nice"...
Sweat beads were flowing - Gu Lu got out of the car, unable to bear it at all.
The four major hot cities have been selected nationwide for two generations, and the Fog City has been on the list every time.
Gu Lu, Li Guangshu and others came to Zhongda University. Originally, he should have come with Mo Huaiqi's group, but because "learning comes first", he became the second group.
Li Guangshu, who came from outside, and other less famous writers also followed. In short, Gu Lu was the leader of this team.
The first thing that catches your eye at the school gate is the man-made pond. Although it is called a pond, it is not actually very deep. Gu Lu feels that it is used for cooling down.
Next, look at the banner hanging on the white square pillar:
[Welcome Gu Lu, the author of "Young China", "Flat Country" and "The Little Prince", to visit our school for exchanges.]
Unknowingly, he completed the small goal that Gu Lu set for himself.
Gu Lu saw the school holding a banner to congratulate the students who won the Mathematical Olympiad, and he was thinking about whether he could also "hold a banner". Look, he skipped the high school banner and turned it into a university banner.
"What a grand display!" Li Guangshu beside him had an envious look in his eyes. He couldn't be jealous because it was truly amazing.
Li Guangshu observed that a look of helplessness flashed across the face of the genius boy, "Is it because the book he worked so hard to write is ranked behind an article and he feels helpless?"
The ranking of the three works on the banner is the ranking of the importance of Gu Lu's works in people's minds.
"Who made you so good at writing? The leap from "If There Were No Li Bai" to "Young China" is too big. Is it really useful to read classical Chinese?" Li Guangshu said to himself.
In fact, he thought for a long time, but it was all in his imagination. The real Gu Lu was looking at the banner, and he was so excited that even his happy expression seemed a little dull.
"Welcome Gu Lu and all the writers to visit us."
Section Chief Xiao, who was in charge of reception, came over to greet them, but his eyes were mainly on Gu Lu.
"I'm Xiao Xing, and I'm responsible for leading you on the tour," said Section Chief Xiao.
"Then I'll trouble you, Chief Xiao." Gu Lu looked at the certificate hanging on the other person's left chest, the Chief of the Major Reception Services Section.
The Reception Service Center, Service Department, and General Office are all departments responsible for logistics reception in the university.
"No trouble, no trouble. This event organized by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and major cooperation also attaches importance to popularizing science."
"We need to continuously improve the scientific and cultural quality of the general public, and writers' works are the best medium for communication. So these are what we should do. We at SJTU are working hard to achieve the goal of building a complete and profound university." Section Chief Xiao is absolutely qualified in his speech.
China University of Political Science and Law is the best university in the Fog City and one of the only two double first-class universities in the city. Its strength is absolutely strong.
It was Section Chief Xiao who was talking and Gu Lu who was listening. If Gu Lu, the team leader, didn't speak, then Li Guangshu and the others would not speak either.
A bit silent.
Section Chief Xiao also came prepared. For this event, he specially found several student volunteers, thinking that they were of similar age and should be easy to talk to.
