After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Immediately afterwards, Song Chunsheng gave a detailed explanation of the specific reasons why the two myths have been so popular among the people for so long.

"Take 'Sun Wukong Thrice Beats the White Bone Demon' for example. People love it because they can see in this story Sun Wukong's powerful ability to distinguish truth from falsehood when facing the White Bone Demon's three transformations, and his unwavering belief in staying true to his original intentions despite his master Tang Sanzang's misunderstanding. That's why we feel heartache when Sun Wukong is misunderstood, and feel relief when the truth is revealed!"

"The story of Nezha Conquers the Dragon King brings people a different kind of feeling. Through the touching plot of Nezha slaying the dragon, outwitting the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and returning his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother, the story conveys values ​​such as resisting tyranny, sacrifice and rebirth to ordinary people at the bottom of society, and encourages everyone to bravely move forward when facing difficulties and oppression, and to dare to challenge all tyranny."

"In short, the reason people like these two stories is mainly because the values ​​they convey resonate with the deep-seated desires within people's hearts. This desire is people's yearning for justice and fairness, as well as their expectation and blessing for a better future!"

When Song Chunsheng laid out his views and ideas, the classroom fell silent, and everyone's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

A moment later, it was unclear who started clapping, but the applause continued throughout the classroom.

Liu Yufeng smiled and gently pressed her hands together in front of her to signal everyone to quiet down.

Then she said, "Indeed, as Chunsheng said, whether it is Sun Wukong, Nezha, or other mythological figures that we are familiar with, the reason why people like them is not only because their stories can bring us some pleasant reverie during our leisure time."

"More importantly, as ordinary people, we all hope, to some extent, that our future lives can be like theirs—more courageous and stronger, remaining true to our original aspirations even in the face of external disturbances!"

"As you all probably know, what happened to Song Chunsheng last Friday. In terms of the incident itself, Chunsheng is lucky. He is able to sit in the classroom with you all today. As his classmates, you should be happy for him, instead of letting your imaginations run wild and talking nonsense."

"I believe that the villagers compared Chunsheng to Nezha with good intentions. Perhaps they felt that Chunsheng was as brave as Nezha, or perhaps they hoped that Chunsheng, who survived the ordeal, could have a bright future like Nezha!"

After saying these words, Li Yufeng paused slightly, then changed her relaxed tone and spoke solemnly.

"In short, our class is a united group. I hope everyone will be friendly and supportive of each other. In your free time, please help and care for your classmates instead of saying things that harm them or disrupt the unity."

"We've known each other for almost a year, so you should know what kind of person I am. I never cause trouble, and I'm not afraid of trouble either. If I find out that anyone continues to gossip or slander their classmates in or outside the classroom, then you'll have to leave Class 1 of Grade 11. I mean what I say!"

The classroom fell silent once again!

Just then, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a large head wearing glasses poked its head in from outside.

When he found the classroom quiet and Li Yufeng standing expressionlessly on the podium, Big Head immediately tried to close the door and leave.

"Teacher Wang, don't go!"

Li Yufeng quickly called out to Wang Tianhe, the Chinese teacher who had come to teach the class.

Wang Tianhe said with a smile, "If you have something to say to the students, I'll wait outside for a while!"

"I've finished speaking, you can begin the lesson now!"

After Li Yufeng left, Wang Tianhe closed the door and stepped onto the podium. Hu Aimin immediately shouted, "Stand up!"

The entire class immediately stood up and said in unison, "Hello, teacher!"

"Hello students, please have a seat!"

After Wang Tianhe asked everyone to sit down, he turned around and saw the word "Science" on the blackboard.

So he smiled and asked, "Did your homeroom teacher write these two characters?"

"Yes, it was written by our homeroom teacher."

Students responded quickly.

Wang Tianhe nodded. "Okay, then let's not wipe it for now. I happen to have something to tell everyone today, and it happens to be related to science!"

The students immediately widened their eyes and looked at him with curiosity, thinking that he was going to talk about Chunsheng too!

"There is such a thing!"

Wang Tianhe cleared his throat. "I just received some news that the province is organizing an essay competition, and the topic happens to be related to science."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

As Wang Tianhe spoke, he picked up the chalk and began writing on the blackboard:

The first "Science Fiction" essay competition in Qin Province, titled "A Day in the Life of ****"!

When his classmates saw what he had written, they were all puzzled.

One student immediately asked, "Teacher Wang, what is 'science fiction'?"

Wang Tianhe pursed his lips and thought for a moment before explaining, "Science fiction, simply put, is combining science with imagination, which means using your bold imagination to construct what the future world will look like."

"For example, imagine one day, our Qinyuan Middle School is no longer here, but has moved to outer space, and all students have to take a plane to outer space to attend classes..."

As the students listened to Wang Tianhe's explanation of science fiction, they all stared wide-eyed with curiosity, as if they were hearing a foreign language.

At this point, a student asked, "Teacher Wang, regarding the essay topic 'A Day in the Life of ***,' what specific requirements are there for what the asterisks represent, or can we just write whatever we want?"

Wang Tianhe thought for a moment and said, "It wasn't specified, but as I understand it, unless there are special requirements, you can just name the title according to the content of your own essay."

Just then, a male student immediately asked, "Teacher Wang, would a topic like 'On the Day of the Last Man in the World' be acceptable?"

As soon as the student finished speaking, the whole class burst into laughter, and even Wang Tianhe couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Tianhe thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "You know what, this topic actually has some ideas."

Then, he looked at the student and said, "However, please try not to write an argumentative essay for this writing competition. After all, it's a science fiction story, so it's best to write a narrative!"

Soon, someone asked the question everyone wanted to know: "Teacher Wang, what's the prize for this essay competition?"

"You little money-grubber, you haven't even picked up a pen yet and you're already eyeing the prize!"

After making a joke to that classmate, Wang Tianhe immediately replied.

"We don't know the specific prize yet. But I guess it will be quite valuable, since it's an essay competition organized by the Provincial Education Commission. The school leaders have also said that as long as any student from our school wins a prize in this provincial competition, even if it's just an encouragement award, the school will give that student a separate reward."

"Moreover, the school leaders have made it clear that the reward will be at least 30 yuan in cash, or related items of equivalent value."

When everyone heard that the school's reward was so large, almost equivalent to a city dweller's monthly salary, they immediately became very interested.

"Teacher Wang, how many people participated in this competition?"

"Teacher Wang, is there a word count requirement for the essay competition?"

"Teacher Wang, how were the awards judged in this competition?"

"Teacher Wang, if I win first prize, will the school give me more money?"

……

In an instant, a series of questions were raised.

Wang Tianhe's head was buzzing from the noise, so he immediately grabbed the blackboard eraser and slammed it on the teacher's desk a few times. "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you all in more of a hurry than I am!"

Once the classroom was completely quiet, he continued his explanation, "Let's go one by one. First, let me talk about the number of participants. If you want to know how many people in the whole province will participate in this essay competition, you'll probably have to ask the leaders of the Provincial Education Commission."

"But I do know how many students from Qinyuan Middle School are participating. As the school leaders just mentioned, we'll first have each class in the junior and senior high schools select candidates within their own classes, and then each class will recommend one entry to the school..."

Before Wang Tianhe had finished speaking, the students in the classroom immediately erupted in noise.

"One article? Why is only one article recommended per class?"

"Yeah, with so many people in the class, one article isn't enough, it's too little..."
