Jiang Ye's article, "The Death of Red Hare," was posted online.

This caused a huge sensation!

Numerous people left comments under this post.

A perfect essay? I'd like to see just how amazing it is!

[Yes, the Great Xia grading team hasn't given a perfect score to an essay in ten years. What should this essay be called?]

This is outrageous! A perfect score essay with a 9-point difference in marks—I think the second-place essay lost unfairly.

Let me guess, this essay isn't going to be something like "My District Chief Father," is it? (Funny emoji)

……

Netizens are still joking.

However, after they finished reading Jiang Ye's "The Death of Red Hare," everyone was stunned.

Holy crap... I finished reading it, and I got goosebumps all over! This writing is absolutely amazing.

[I watched the whole thing on my knees. I was wrong; I shouldn't have questioned this essay. It's just too damn well-written.]

[Written entirely in classical Chinese vernacular; what high school student has such writing skills?]

[And this was written spontaneously during the college entrance examination, without any drafts, all in one go. Amazing!]

To be honest, after reading this essay, I think the second-place winner didn't lose unjustly!

The second-highest scorer in the liberal arts category in Jiangnan Province scored 51 points on the essay because his ability only allowed him to achieve that score. Jiang Ye's 60 points, however, were because the maximum score was only 60.

……

the other side.

Beijing.

Office of the Department of Literature, Tsinghua University.

An elderly man with white hair is leisurely drinking afternoon tea.

This elderly man is named Lu Zhenbang. He is a senior professor in the Department of Literature at Tsinghua University and a recognized academic giant in the field of literature in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Lu Zhenbang received early education from his family and was admitted to the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University with the highest score in the country. He later stayed on to teach at the university and became the youngest doctoral supervisor in the humanities at the age of 35.

He once presided over the compilation of the twelve-volume "Great Series of Classical Literature of the Great Xia Dynasty". His representative work "Poetic Heart and Literary Lineage" has been translated into many countries and has had a profound influence.

Furthermore, Lu Zhenbang mentored more than 30 professors and several winners of the Lu Xun Literary Prize.

Lu Zhenbang recently lectured at prestigious universities such as Harvard and Cambridge and received the National Book Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Today, Lu Zhenbang is hailed as a "living dictionary of classical Chinese literature" and is currently the dean of the Tsinghua-Peking University Institute of Chinese Studies.

That's one way to put it.

Lu Zhenbang is the pinnacle of Daxia literature.

……

Lu Zhenbang was drinking tea when...

The office door was pushed open, and his granddaughter, Lu Xiaoyu, entered.

Lu Xiaoyu has a sweet and serene appearance, a baby face, and fair skin; she is a natural beauty.

Lu Xiaoyu walked towards Lu Zhenbang, holding a tablet.

"Grandpa, the liberal arts scores for Jiangnan Province this year have been released. Did you know?"

Lu Zhenbang looked up.

"Oh, I just heard about it, but I've been too busy to pay attention."

"What's going on? Did this year's top scorer in the humanities break the 690 mark?"

In the past decade, the highest score for the top liberal arts student in Jiangnan Province has only been 689.

Not a single one has broken through 690.

……

Lu Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.

"That's too low! Grandpa, this year's top scorer in the liberal arts in Jiangnan Province has broken 700 points."

Hearing this, Lu Zhenbang also became interested.

"Breaking 700 points?"

Lu Xiaoyu nodded.

"Yes, this candidate named Jiang Ye scored 701 points, especially in the essay, where he even got a perfect score!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenbang immediately became excited.

"A perfect essay? Let me see it."

The Great Xia Dynasty hasn't produced a perfect score essay in ten years.

The examiners also know that if they give the essay a perfect score, they will definitely face public criticism online.

Jiang Ye's essay was so good that the examiners had to give it full marks despite the pressure from public opinion.

This must be due to something extraordinary.

……

Lu Xiaoyu handed the tablet to his grandfather, Lu Zhenbang, who immediately began to examine Jiang Ye's essay.

Upon seeing the first paragraph, Lu Zhenbang's eyes lit up.

This kind of classical vernacular writing requires a certain level of writing skill.

Putting everything else aside, you need to accumulate a lot of reading experience.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to write the opening.

……

After reading half of it, Lu Zhenbang's face showed even greater joy.

After reading half of it, Lu Zhenbang already had a general idea of ​​Jiang Ye's abilities.

This article has a novel subject matter and a clear theme. Most importantly, it is rich in classical allusions and uses beautiful language.

Based on the first half alone, this essay truly deserves full marks.

A few minutes later.

Lu Zhenbang closed the tablet, but the joy on his face did not diminish.

This perfect score essay truly deserves its recognition!

……

Although, in Lu Zhenbang's eyes, this article was still somewhat immature.

But it's already very good.

After all, Jiang Ye is only an eighteen-year-old boy!

Even Lu Zhenbang himself couldn't write such an article when he was eighteen.

Jiang Ye is still young and has a bright future.

With the guidance of a renowned teacher, his future achievements might even surpass those of Lu Zhenbang.

Put down the tablet.

Lu Zhenbang had already developed a fondness for talent.

This candidate.

We absolutely must get them into Tsinghua or Peking University.

……

of course.

Lu Zhenbang also knew that top scorers like Jiang Ye had always been sought after by Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Yenching University.

Lu Zhenbang was not confident that Jiang Ye would choose Tsinghua or Peking University.

unless……

Thinking about it.

Lu Zhenbang said to his granddaughter.

"Xiaoyu, do Grandpa a favor."

Lu Xiaoyu nodded.

Lu Zhenbang continued.

"To help Grandpa hold a press conference, I plan to... personally go to Jiangzhou and take Jiang Ye as my apprentice. If he is willing, I will personally mentor him after he comes to Tsinghua or Peking University."

……

Hear this.

Lu Xiaoyu was shocked.

Grandpa is going to personally take on apprentices?

It's worth noting that Lu Zhenbang stopped supervising undergraduates ten years ago and only supervised doctoral students.

And now.

Grandpa Lu even stopped supervising doctoral students.

After all, I'm getting old, my energy isn't keeping up, and I can't take care of things anymore.

It's worth noting that countless exceptional individuals have gone to great lengths to become disciples of Lu Zhenbang.

Among them are many top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Among them were also scions of scholarly families throughout history.

However, Lu Zhenbang refused to budge.

To this day, Lu Zhenbang has not accepted a single one.

……

But now.

Lu Zhenbang actually said he wanted to take Jiang Ye as his apprentice!

What does this mean?

This means that Jiang Ye is very likely to become Lu Zhenbang's last disciple!

Moreover, Lu Zhenbang is so old, yet he personally took on apprentices; perhaps he is grooming them to be his successors.

Jiang Ye is very likely to become the future leader of the literary world of Great Xia.

So, how could Lu Xiaoyu not be surprised?

……

That afternoon.

Lu Zhenbang then accepted an interview with reporters.

Lu Zhenbang looked radiant in the photos, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Yes, I am very interested in that essay, 'The Death of Red Hare,' and I would be happy to take him under my wing if he is willing."

"Haha, I just don't know if he'd be willing."

Lu Zhenbang's interview was published.

The entire city of Daxia was in an uproar once again!!

Netizens were amazed by Lu Zhenbang's return to the scene, and also by Jiang Ye's ability to attract the favor of top bigwigs with just one article!

What kind of liberal arts top scorer?

This title is not even one ten-thousandth as good as Lu Zhenbang's closed-door disciple.

After all, there are more than a dozen top scorers in the college entrance examination every year.

However, Lu Zhenbang only had one disciple!

……

After Lu Zhenbang's interview, he took his granddaughter by plane to Jiangnan Province, specifically Jiangzhou City.

at the same time.

Inside Jiangzhou TV Station.

The station director was busy assigning interview tasks.

"Everyone, cheer up! Today we're going to interview the top liberal arts student in Jiangnan Province."

"After the interview, we will go to the hospital to interview the student who acted bravely."

As the station director spoke, his excitement was palpable.

"I never expected that the top scorer would come from our city, haha."

……

The station director was so busy he was practically going crazy. He patted his head and asked the reporter, Xiao He.

"By the way, what was this year's top scorer's name again?"

Xiao He glanced at the list.

"Call him Jiang Ye."

The station director slapped his thigh.

"Yes, yes, Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye."

……

Just as the station director was making arrangements, the secretary walked over with the phone.

The secretary handed the phone to the station manager.

"Director, the traffic police just called. They said they've found the identity information of the student who performed the act of bravery."

"It seems to be called... oh, right! Jiang Ye!"

……

The secretary said this.

The station manager, who was tidying his clothes, was taken aback.

Xiao He, who was next to the station director, was also stunned.

"What did you say? His name is Jiang Ye?!"

The two spoke almost in unison.
