A perfect score on the college entrance exam? The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng has astonis

Chen Mo turned on the recording button.

Sitting at my desk in the bedroom.

The camera is pointed at my face.

He glanced at the camera, his expression calm.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Mo."

He paused.

"It's that Chen Mo you've been discussing lately—the one who scored 700 or 750 on the college entrance exam. The official score hasn't been released yet, so I won't jump to conclusions."

There was another pause.

I've read the comments online.

"Some people say it's impossible, some say I'm a liar, some say it's photoshopped, and some say it's the biggest joke in the history of the college entrance examination."

His lips twitched slightly.

"What I want to say is—regarding the perfect score on the college entrance exam, all I can say is..."

He looked at the camera with a calm and resolute gaze.

"Anyone with hands can do it."

The video ends.

Ten seconds.

No further words were needed.

There was no explanation.

There was no explanation.

There was no sentimental talk of "I actually worked very hard".

There was no plea for "please believe me".

It's just three sentences.

I am Chen Mo.

The person mentioned online.

I've read everything you've said.

Getting a perfect score is something anyone can do.

release.

Then he put his phone on the table.

Lean back in your chair.

Cross your hands behind your head.

Looking at the ceiling.

Then I held my breath and lay down on the bed.

What he didn't know was the ten-second video.

Just a few words.

It ignited the entire internet.

The first comment appeared eleven seconds after the video was posted—"???"

The second one is, "Anyone with hands can do it??? Is that something a human would say???"

The third one is, "Bro, are you serious?"

Then comments started pouring out like a burst dam.

Every time you refresh.

Several hundred new comments appeared below.

The speed was so fast that there was no time to read what each message said.

All I could see were those frequently occurring words flashing wildly in front of my eyes.

Arrogance

"That's outrageous!"

"Anyone can do it."

"I've worked hard for three years and you're telling me it's as simple as having hands?"

"Who is this person?"

Is it true that someone got a perfect score on the college entrance exam?

"If it's true, I'll eat shit."

"If it's fake, I'll eat shit too."

on Weibo.

The phrase "Chen Mo's response" topped the trending searches within ten minutes of the video's release.

It pushed "perfect score in the college entrance examination" off the top spot.

Followed by.

The phrase "anyone can do it" became the third most searched topic on social media.

Four characters, with no prefix and no suffix.

Just four words, and the whole nation knows what they're talking about.

The video was forwarded countless times in WeChat groups.

Someone posted it in the family group chat.

The caption read, "Young people these days really dare to say anything."

Someone posted it in the class group chat with the caption, "This is the Chen Mo we were talking about before."

Someone posted this in the work group with the caption, "Boss, what was your score on the college entrance exam?"

The same topic is being discussed in every group.

Is this guy named Chen Mo really that good, or is he just putting on airs?

At the same time, a tsunami of dissent swept in.

Public opinion split into two camps in an instant.

One group believes Chen Mo is too arrogant.

No matter what score you got, you shouldn't talk like that.

The phrase "anyone can do it" is disrespectful to all test takers.

The other side believes that Chen Mo's statement is correct.

They got a perfect score.

They have the right to say that.

You failed the exam because you're incompetent.

But regardless of which faction it is.

They are all based on a common premise.

Did he really get a perfect score?

Nobody knows the answer.

There has been no official announcement.

The school has not released a statement.

Chen Mo himself did not present any evidence.

The debate intensified.

It spread from TikTok to Weibo.

It spread from Weibo to Zhihu.

It spread from Zhihu to every place where people speak.

On the trending topics list, "Chen Mo's response" and "Anyone can do it" occupied the first and third positions, respectively.

Sandwiched in the middle is a celebrity's divorce statement.

That celebrity probably never dreamed of this.

The buzz surrounding her own divorce would be overshadowed by that of a college entrance exam taker.

Marketing accounts swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

"Shocking! A student who scored full marks on the college entrance exam boasted 'Anyone can do this,' and netizens are outraged!"

Exclusive Analysis: Why a perfect score on the college entrance exam is impossible? A senior education expert reveals the secrets.

"Who is Chen Mo? His family background has been revealed, and his parents are actually..."

"A perfect score college entrance exam paper leaked? The truth is..."

Each title is more outrageous than the last, and each video is more sensational than the last.

Someone invited so-called "education experts" to speak eloquently in front of the camera.

"From the perspective of educational psychology, a truly outstanding student would not say something like 'Anyone can do it,' which indicates that the student has some deviations in personality development..."

Someone dug up Chen Mo's previous monthly exam report card.

The scores of 487 and 750 were placed side by side with a large headline.

"From 487 to 750, is this a comeback or cheating?"

Some people started digging into Chen Mo's family background, saying that his father was a leader in an education bureau and his mother was a teacher at a key middle school.

It's all fake, but nobody verifies it, and nobody cares.

Traffic is everything.

In the comments section.

Some people believed it, some people cursed it, some people laughed, and some people started to take sides.

Some people started blocking him, while others started tagging the official account and demanding that Chen Mo's Douyin account be banned.

All emotions on the internet.

All stances and all voices were stirred up into a mess that afternoon.

And right in the very center of this pot of porridge.

Chen Mo's Douyin account is seeing its follower count skyrocket at a visible rate.

100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 1 million.

He did not post a second video.

There was no live stream, and no replies to any comments.

They didn't even change the homepage description.

The default gray avatar and the two-word name.

Under the watchful eyes of a million people, it remained quietly still, like a sculpture with no expression whatsoever.

Principal Wang saw the video in his office.

He was drinking tea at the time—this year's new Longjing tea.

His phone was on the table, and the screen lit up briefly. It was a WeChat message from his son: "Dad, look at this video, is that Chen Mo from your school?"

He clicked on the video.

Ten seconds. After watching, he put down his phone, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. The aroma of Longjing tea spread in his mouth, a delicate fragrance with a hint of bitterness.

"Anyone with hands can do it." He repeated those four words, and the corners of his mouth slowly, very slowly, turned up.

"Youthful arrogance."

He said it softly, his tone devoid of blame or worry, only the indulgent helplessness of an old father watching his son frolicking and rolling around in the yard.

He put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, looked out the window at the students running on the playground, and suddenly smiled—a very soft, but genuine smile.

"But they do have the capital."

He thought to himself, "That essay, anyone who reads it will say, 'Anyone could do that.' That's not arrogance, that's the truth."
