Chapter 348 - Going on Peoples Daily! (1/2)
Feel no torturing regrets for wasted years?
Never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past?
This was not a poem, nor was it prose. It was like a common sentence, but when Zhang Ye posted it on Weibo, many people, who were poking fun at or laughing at Zhang Ye immediately stopped speaking, and became silent!
What sort of person could write something like that?
What sort of person would have such feelings?
The moment many people saw this new Weibo post from Zhang Ye, they suddenly felt great amounts of respect for Zhang Ye. They did not know what to say, nor did they have anything to say!
”Haha, well said!”
”Teacher Zhang's words are always so poetic!”
”This is his literary talent! It's completely peerless!”
”Why is every word from Teacher Zhang Ye's mouth so moving!?”
”That's right! There are certain truths that everyone knows, or that can be said, but when the same words are come from Teacher Zhang's mouth, and still has the same meaning when it comes out, but it feels completely different! Isn’t he just saying 'I'm willing to devote my life to education', but why does it feel completely different when you hear it!? Just reading it gives me goose b.u.mps! I have to save this pa.s.sage! Too cla.s.sic!”
”Already saved!”
”I have a folder of Zhang Ye's recordings on my computer. Haha, it's devoted to recording Teacher Zhang Ye's words. Every work of his is too great. Not only does it give you a rush, it is also thought provoking. I don't know literature, nor do I know any great philosophical ideas, but I think this may be the most sublime literature!”
”Forever supporting Teacher Zhang Ye! If you aren't convinced, fight me! My large saber is again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again unable to endure the thirst!”
”Big Saber Bro has come too!”
”Teacher Zhang has already declared war! Let us blow the trumpets for war!”
”Hahahaha, which eye of yours saw Teacher Zhang declaring war?”
”Isn't he fighting for the liberation of education!? Since he's fighting, if that's not a declaration of war, then what is!? Let's go brothers! Teacher Zhang has summoned us!”
Zhang Ye's fan club immediately felt their morale surging. Some people were still messing around with jokes. It was quite a relaxed atmosphere. Such an atmosphere could only be found in Zhang Ye's fan club. If it was any other celebrity's fans, they would be furious or worried if such a situation were to happen. They wouldn't have been in the mood to jest, but Zhang Ye's fans were different. These people had followed Zhang Ye from the beginning, and had gone through numerous storms! All of them were ”battle-hardened”, and no longer thought much of such ”small matters”. Everyone was accustomed to it! They felt that the matters of Teacher Zhang's swearing at others daily with them joining...was the norm. If Zhang Ye stopped for one day, it would make these fans unable to get used to it!
Flurry of discussion!
Arguments!
The excerpt, from ”How the Steel Was Tempered”, that was thrown out by Zhang Ye was also the most famous pa.s.sage in the novel. It gave a boost to this matter!
Yan Jiantao also had Weibo. He stood forward to refute!
A few veterans of the education world and elderly professors, with more than a dozen people came forward to denounce him. They were probably egged on by Yan Jiantao!
Zhang Ye smiled and looked past it. He did not take it to heart. The only thing that he noticed was Wu Zeqing's Weibo account had given him a Like. Wu Zeqing was famous in the education world, and was well known by the people. She was not a celebrity, and most people did not even know what she looked like. Although she had a verified account , and it was just a Like, which got flooded away by others with no one paying attention to it, Zhang Ye's sharp eyes noticed it. President Wu's Like was not for the ”Ode to Young China” Weibo post that he had posted earlier, but that pa.s.sage from ”How the Steel Was Tempered”. Zhang Ye guessed the reason. The other post was a lot more sensitive towards the elderly, hence as Peking University's Vice President, Wu Zeqing could not express her views. Hence, she supported Zhang Ye by Liking another Weibo post. She did not say anything, but her stance was clear!
What should have been seen had been seen.
What should have been said had been said.
Alright, time to finish dinner and sleep. Tomorrow, there will probably be more denouncement!
After finis.h.i.+ng dinner, Zhang Ye washed up. He did not listen on to Mom's nagging. He returned to his room and tucked himself into bed. Before 8, he was already fast asleep.
The next day.
In the morning, Zhang Ye got up to go to work.
For this matter, he could not think of a way to resolve it. Although he had explained that he was not scolding old people, even this fellow would not believe his own excuses. Hai, if this was not properly dealt with, he might even be removed from the education system.
What should he do?
It really seems like he had to resign himself to fate!
When he reached the office, Zhang Ye greeted everyone, ”Good morning.”
”Good morning.”
”Teacher Little Zhang, you've come?
”Teacher Zhang, what you said on Weibo yesterday was really good!”
Many people also looked towards him, while others consoled him.
