College Construction: My Principal System Chapter 26

Finally, Chief Examiner Chen Dongdong put down the article "Peeping Through the Cup".
In this article, Han Han compared the water in the cup to society, and the paper immersed in the water to the human individuals who were affected by various things in society.
Life was originally pure and flawless, but once it was thrown into the society, it could not help but be contaminated by it.
Gradually losing its original color, and even changing its shape, until it sank into the bottom of the cup and could not extricate itself.
In a short period of time, in the face of this topic, which he had no idea how to start, he gave such a high-level idea, as well as the proof from the classics.
This was something that no number of famous writers could do!
Chen Dongdong was silent. In the depths of his heart, for the first time, he had a formidable fear of being surpassed.
Everyone held their breath and stared, waiting for Chen Dongdong's sharp criticism.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dongdong just sat on the chair above the podium and was silent for a long time. He looked at Han Han below the stage with curiosity and didn't say a word.
Facing a big shot like chairman Chen, Han Han didn't show the slightest fear.
He was even tidying up the paper and pens on the table.
He put on his backpack and prepared to leave the examination room. "Mr. Chen, may I go back to school for lunch now?"
Chen Dongdong nodded.
Just as Han Han was about to walk out of the classroom, he took off the golden ribbon on his chest.
He walked up to him and personally pinned it on his clothes.

Then, he patted Han Han's shoulder and watched him leave.
[F*ck! This is... This is a direct award!]
[No, I was waiting for Chen Dongdong to criticize Han Han. After waiting for so long, he just showed me this. Bad Review!]
[What kind of operation is this, giving out awards after reading Han Han's composition? It can't be a fake match, right?]
[Do you think that with Chairman Chen's status, there's a need to cooperate with high school students to fight a fake match?]
[Could it be that this student Han Han's essay is already so outstanding--]
[So terrifying, so terrifying!]
[Shocking! Facing the new concept essay examinee, the Chairman of the Writers' Association, Chen Dongdong, actually lost his words.]
[The champion of New Concept Cup Essay Competition is selected! Yun Ding High School cafeteria may become the biggest winner!]
...
On the other side.
In The New Concept Cup Composition Competition, the narrative writing competition venue, the topic of the narrative writing was not so strange.
Instead, they chose a relatively conventional topic composition, using the literary motif: Youth.
Although conventional, in order to break through the conventional and write new ideas, it was not easy.
Most people would only write about studying, write about their life, write about spring outings, autumn outings, winter and summer vacations and sports meets.
At the end of the composition, it was to end with the line 'Forming a beautiful landscape'.
When all the examinees present began to write.
Guo Jingming, an examinee from Yun Ding High School, sat by the window in the last row.
He was looking up at the half-light and half-dark clouds in the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
His eyes were bright and beautiful with sadness, and there was a faint gleam of tears in them. It was the memory of his fleeting youth.

Through the violets, through the trees, through the sadness, happiness, and impermanence... the boys who had taught him to grow up and the girls who had taught him to love...he had so much to say about youth, but he did not know where to start.
By the time the other contestants had finished most of their work, Guo Jingming was still thinking, deliberating, and feeling nostalgic and sad.
It wasn't until the last fifteen minutes of the exam that Guo Jingming moved his hand.
His left hand reflected, and his right hand was writing. The sentences written on the paper were already familiar to him:
'Fleeting Times' by Guo Jingming.
...
"We live in the vast universe, filled with floating cosmic dust and galactic light dust. We are existences even smaller than these.
"You don't know when life suddenly changes direction and falls into inky darkness.
"You are dragged into the abyss by disappointment, you are dragged into the grave by disease, you are trampled by frustration, you are laughed at, ridiculed, hated, resented, abandoned. But we always keep hope in our hearts, and our hearts don't give up.
"We are still working hard despite feeling great despair.
"This feeling of not wanting to give up, they become small stars of endless darkness. We are all small stars."
"You have to believe that there must be your lover in the world.
"Whether you are surrounded by light and drowned in applause, or you are walking alone in the cold streets and getting wet in the heavy rain, whether it is a snowy morning, or a scorching dusk, he will walk through the turbulent crowds of the world, one by one, to you. He will come to you, holding you, with his heart full of heat and his eyes full of love.
"He will come to you, holding you.
"If he is young, he will hug you like a naughty child who hoards his toys and won't share them with anyone. If he is no longer young, he will be like a hunter who has come back from a long journey. He will light a bonfire beside you and hug you. He will fall asleep tired and at ease.
"He will definitely find you. You have to wait."
...
Before the last minute of the bell ringing.
Guo Jingming finished this article called 'Fleeting Times' and handed in his paper smoothly.
The whole manuscript was completed in one go without any delay.
It was as if the manuscript in his mind was transcribed onto paper.
"What beautiful words! What beautiful imagery!"
"When everyone chose to write about youth, Guo Jingming did the opposite. He chose to write about the pain of youth and put the pain of youth in front of us. It's really refreshing!"
"Youth literature, especially in China's youth literature, talking about love is the kind of bold writing that deviates from the norm.
"But the author put love into the growth from youth to youth. The pattern is exquisite.
"In conclusion, I have decided to present this year's New Concept Composition Competition, Narrative Track Gold Award, to Guo Jingming from Yun Ding High School!"
"Congratulations!"
