The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1014

  Kunming is like spring all the year round, but the rainy season is too long.

  Chen Mengjia walked into the examination room with an umbrella, nodded and said hello to Zhu Ziqing and others, then sat down and waited for the staff to bring the examination papers.

  The janitor came with a bamboo basket, put a boiled egg on the table of each marking teacher, and said, “Gentlemen, you have worked hard, and each person has an egg to replenish their body these days.”

   “It’s a good thing, your Southwest Associated University’s treatment is really good.” A marking teacher from Yunnan University laughed.

  Luo Changpei smiled bitterly and said, “What’s the use of giving out free eggs? The salary is just that little bit, and I haven’t gotten a lot of money from you, so I should go to open up wasteland and grow vegetables another day.”

  Zhu Ziqing said: “In any case, thanks to Mingcheng, his scientific chicken raising technique is really beneficial to the country and the people. At least the children can eat eggs every week, and they don’t have to eat chaff with us.”

  Chen Mengjia said: “When the Anti-Japanese War is won, I will go to the Zhou Mansion in Chongqing and beat the autumn wind of Zhou Da’s capitalists.”

   “Go together, go together, make up for the meat you haven’t eaten in years!”

  The crowd echoed and laughed.

   In a burst of laughter, the test paper was brought in quickly. This marking room is dedicated to correcting the national papers in the rear. The teachers on the left approve the grammar group exam papers, and the right teachers approve the engineering group exam papers.

  There are only three questions in total, one for composition, two for translation between classical Chinese and vernacular, which is very easy for the marking teacher.

   About noon, Chen Mengjia finally corrected Zhou Weilie’s test paper.

   First of all, look at the surface of the scroll, the whole book is in regular script, and the calligraphy is not bad. However, there are several alterations, and the roll surface is not neat, which is a deduction item.

  The composition has a good idea, but unfortunately the writing is plain, there is no allusions to use, and there is no special grammar, so I can only give a passing score.

  The classical Chinese is translated into the vernacular, and the meaning is correct, but the lack of work is not complete, and there is only a passing score.

   As for the translation of the vernacular into classical Chinese, Chen Mengjia frowned directly, and with a stroke of his pen, he deducted most of the score for this question.

  Chen Mengjia finished reviewing this test paper in just a few minutes. He didn’t know it was the test paper of an old friend’s son, and only gave a pitiful 53 points…

   In the marking room next door, Hua Luogeng was correcting the mathematics of the science group in the rear. He also participated in the questioning this time, and it was the last big question, which was so difficult that the candidates vomited blood.

   Throughout the morning, Hua Luogeng found only one candidate who answered the question correctly and completely.

   In the afternoon, a certain test paper made Hua Luogeng’s eyes shine. Not only did he answer the final big question correctly, but he also used calculus. Hua Luogeng was very happy to write down 100 points on the front of the paper, then got up and said to the other teachers, “This paper has the best answer. Come and enjoy it.”

  Yang Wuzhi (Yang Zhenning’s father) came over to take a look: “It’s interesting, I’ll write down his name when I unpack it.”

  …

   Zhou Weilie is not too bored to stay in a hotel all day, anyway, he has self-study books with him, and a few days pass by in a flash.

   On the day when the results were announced, Sun Yonghao took him to the Southwest Associated University again, got the score and said, “Young master, you scored 392 in the test, how is the score?”

   “It should have passed.” Zhou Weilie said.

   The total score of seven subjects is 600. Zhou Weilie’s score of 392 can only be considered barely, and there are many fierce people with more than 500 points. But this score will definitely pass the score line of the Southwest Associated University. Unfortunately, physics and chemistry can only be selected for one of the subjects. Otherwise, he can get more than 290 points in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

  There are some problems in the division of admission scores during the Anti-Japanese War. Take the national median and the regional median, and then calculate the deviation value to increase or decrease as appropriate.

   Under normal circumstances, the passing grade is around 300 points. The additional condition is that Chinese, mathematics and English cannot be scored as zero. It is absolutely impossible for someone like Luo Jialun to be able to go to Peking University with zero marks in mathematics. This person is still the president of Central University.

   Of course, passing the score line of the Southwest Associated University does not mean that you can be admitted.

   The exam that Zhou Weilie has just passed is not called the college entrance examination, but is called the preliminary entrance examination, or the written entrance examination, and then there is an interview. Those with a score of 450 and above can be admitted directly, but the rest will be interviewed.

   Zhou Weilie was waiting hard outside the classroom, with many students lying at the door peeking.

   One person patted Zhou Weilie on the shoulder and said, “Little brother, my name is Wang Mi, I’m from Guizhou. What’s your name?”

   “Zhou Weilie, from Chongqing.” Zhou Weilie said.

   “Then you are far enough, the road is not easy to walk.” Wang Mi said in surprise.

   Zhou Weilie said: “It’s okay.”

  Wang Mi added: “I took 416, how many did you take?”

   Zhou Weilie said: “392.”

  Wang Mi sighed: “The last question in mathematics and chemistry this year is too difficult. You also lost points on this, right?”

   Zhou Weilie said: “I didn’t take chemistry, I chose physics.”

   “Then you are lucky, I heard that this year’s physics questions are very simple, I knew I would choose physics too.” Wang Mi shook his head again and again.

   “It’s alright, it’s all over the line.” Zhou Weilie comforted.

  Wang Mi reminded: “My score is not bad, after all, it has passed 400 points. But you are a little overwhelmed. The Southwest Associated University has a high admission score, and they may recommend you to Yunnan University.”

   “Maybe.” Zhou Weilie was not worried, even if he couldn’t be admitted this year, the big deal was that he would take the exam next year, and he wouldn’t want to go to that Yunnan University.

Wang Mi said: “My ideal is to be a great chemist and contribute to China’s chemical industry. When I develop a super explosive, I promise to blow up all the children of Japan. What about you, what is your ideal? ?”

   “Study mathematics.” Zhou Weilie said.

   “That’s very difficult, and mathematicians are not popular, and their effect on the country is limited.” Wang Mi said.

   Zhou Weilie said: “Not necessarily.”

   Wang Mi nodded and said, “That’s right, mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences.”

   This guy is just a chatter. He glanced inwards while talking to Zhou Weilie. He talked about everything for two hours without any repetition.

   Finally, a voice came from inside: “Zhou Weilie!”

   Zhou Weilie walked into the classroom, bowed and saluted the five interviewers, and said, “Hello, teacher, my name is Zhou Weilie, I’m from Chongqing.”

There are several interview classrooms in the science and engineering group. The five interviewers in this classroom are Jiang (Harmony) Zehan from the Department of Mathematics, Ye Qisun from the Department of Physics, Yang Shixian from the Department of Chemistry, Chen Zhen from the Department of Biology, and Chen Zhen from the Department of Geology, Geography and Meteorology. Zhao Jiuzhang.

Jiang (Harmony) Zehan looked down at Zhou Weilie’s files and scores, and said in a low voice, “This student is one of the only three full marks in mathematics in the Kunming examination area, and he is only 12 years old. He can be called a gifted child. Just mention a few. The problem is fine, don’t embarrass him, after all, he is still too young.”

  Yang Shixian smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about a perfect score in mathematics, even if he has just passed the math, he will definitely be admitted to the school. He can get 392 points in the test at the age of 12. Will he still be able to get it when he grows up?”

  Chen Zhen said: “Don’t be too used to it, you have to beat and beat to prevent injury to Zhongyong.”

   “It should be, he can’t get carried away.” Zhao Jiuzhang said.

   When several people were discussing in a low voice, Ye Qisun tried to hold back his laughter and suddenly said, “Student Zhou Weilie, how is your honor recently?”

   Zhou Weilie was stunned for a while, and replied, “I am healthy, I can eat and drink, thank you teacher for your concern.”

  Yang Shi first tilted his head and asked Ye Qisun: “Lao Ye, do you know this child?”

Ye Qisun laughed: “He is the son of Zhou Mingcheng’s family. I met him once in Tianjin Zhou Mansion when he was three years old. I wasn’t sure at first, but when I saw the real person, I could recognize him. He looks like a child. Do you think he looks like Mingcheng?”

   “Mr. Zhou’s son? It’s really a tiger’s father without a dog’s son!” Jiang (Harmony) Zehan raised his glasses in surprise. He was also a book fan of Zhou Hexuan back then. When he was studying at Harvard, he often discussed “The Rise of Great Powers” with Liang Sicheng and others.

The atmosphere of the interview became relaxed all of a sudden, Yang Shixian joked: “This is a soft hand to take people’s hands, but a short mouth to eat people. The Southwest Associated University takes and eats it at Mr. Zhou’s place, and his son comes to apply for the exam. Recruit.”

   “For the egg every week, I think it should be passed.” Chen Zhen also said with a smile.

Zhou Weilie blushed, and suddenly said loudly: “Several teachers, I am applying for the Southwest Associated University as Zhou Weilie, and I have nothing to do with my father, please show me basic respect! If Southwest Associated University is such a school , then don’t read it, farewell!”

   Zhou Weilie turned around and left, Ye Qisun quickly stopped him: “Wait a minute!”

   “What else is there to say?” Zhou Weilie asked.

Ye Qisun, the founder of the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University, suddenly bowed and said sincerely, “Student Zhou Weilie, we made a blunder just now. There are rules for admission interviews. What we did just now was wrong and also for the interviewees. Insult, I must apologize to you here.”

   “Yes, yes, public is public, private is private, and they cannot be confused. Classmate Zhou taught us a lesson!” Yang Shixian also stood up and bowed, and the other three stood up one after another.

  The students waiting for the interview outside the door were all dumbfounded. The admission interviewers bowed to the students collectively. This scene is unimaginable.

   Zhou Weilie has not yet officially entered the school, he is already famous at the Southwest Associated University… The 12-year-old genius boy, Zhou Hexuan’s son, forced the professors to apologize in person, any point is enough for the teachers and students to remember.
