Applause!
It was applause throughout!
“It’s really too damn awesome!”
“Teacher Zhang! I love you!”
“Teacher Zhang’s too good! He’s peerless!”
“Well said! I’ve never been in such a wonderful lecture before!”
“Teacher Zhang, will you still be the teacher for ‘Appreciation of the Classics’ next semester?”
“I’ve decided! I will be signing up for Teacher Zhang’s elective class next semester!”
The students were all giving their kudos Su Na and a few other Peking University lecturers were giving the thue
The audience had given hi ovation and the scene looked phenorams up until now, it was also the first ti ovation
Zhang Ye was already leaving the stage after packing up his research papers and therave a wry ss and picked up the microphone, “Thank you everyone, class has ended Students, please go back, many of you still have classes in the afternoon”
Bba Bba!
The Peking University students did not want to leave, they continued applauding
Wu Zeqing, Chang Kaige, and co the sa with the students
No one left the venue The members from the literary world naturally also stayed It would be too obvious if they walked off now as the ca, so they could only stay behind with everyone else
“Thank you, everyone, please take your leave” Zhang Ye clasped his hands together gratefully
Still, no one left In fact, the students clapped even louder!
Zhang Ye had nothing else he could do about it, so he said a few more words, “In the 2 classes of yesterday and today, we have spoken in general about how the first 80 chapters on the whole of ‘Dreainal words of Mr Cao Xueqin I believe my conclusion will be able to convince many people, and even if there are questions or doubts, no one can deny the possibility of what I said You o carry out your research and analysis, and I hope that this will help the students and everyone else to understand ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ better, but what I want to express has already mostly been expressed in these 2 classes, so fro these points anyht elaborate a little, but it would not be explained in as much detail as it was today There is no need for purposely repeat it to insist that it is proven and I will be going forward onto other parts”
“Going forward?”
“What else is there left to talk about?”
“Right, hoill the class be taught going forward?”
“If we follow Teacher Zhang’s point of view that another author had continued writing on after the first 80 chapters, it would still be riddled with inconsistencies and flaws So what’s there to talk about?”
“Yea, there’s nothing to speak about anymore”
“We are still 7-8 lectures away from the exams?”
The Peking University students began to feel confused and stopped applauding, especially the students fro Ye’s elective class They wereYe would continue the class from here on
The departht about this problem If there was a proble problem!
Zhang Ye smiled, “It seems like everyone still has some doubts It is correct to feel doubtful, yes So the question coht, that is not it How then shall we continue our class from here on?” He paused for a moment, and said, “Please stay tuned to my class tomorrow to find out!”
“Fk that!”
“He’s leaving us with a cliffhanger again!”
“Teacher Zhang is so wicked!”
“Haha, but I’ forward to it!”
“I need to get here early toet a front row seats!”
Zhang Ye said, “Class diso to your next class!” Then he looked at the others, “Leaders, thank you for your hard work Reporter comrades, thank you for your hard work too”
The students finally began to leave the venue
When Zhang Ye saw that the reporters were rushi+ng forward for the kill, he quickly picked up his belongings and left froe
But who knew,Ye About half of them rushed forward towards the literary world e zoom cameras at them as they surrounded them
That Jinshi+ fe, as one of the top Redology experts, what views do you have of the lecture by Teacher Zhang Ye today?”
Teacher Yang’s face did not look too good, “Please make way no comment”
Another s newspaper’s reporter also went over, “Teacher Yang, the question that you asked and those other difficult proble ti Ye We saw that you and the other Redologists did not refute or speak anyree with Teacher Zhang Ye’s point of view? Does this mean that the author of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ after the first 80 chapters was indeed someone else? And not written by Cao Xueqin?”
Teacher Yang held on to his words for aYe’s views, nor that he has explained it fully His explanation and analysis was just frole As for the problem of the author of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, that would still remain an open question for now It still needs everyone’s input after discussion and further research”
A , “Then does that ed that there is plausibility to what Teacher Zhang has proposed? And that the possibility is very high?”
Teacher Yang frowned, “I did not say that I don’t represent the whole Redology world Please, let o interview someone else instead!”
“Vice-President Yan, what do you think of this one over to Yan Yu
Yan Yu did not dodge and answered, “I will not co as a person, but his literary standard is so that I really admire”
He has talent?
But is not much of a person?
The reporters all understood the ot excited and continued to hound Yan Yu, “Will the Writers’ association consider letting Teacher Zhang join your ranks?”
Yan Yu s Ye before and the National Writers’ association had previously sent Zhang Ye an invite too, but Teacher Little Zhang had posted a poe Blossoms” This poem was very ritten and was very artistic, but it basically carried aof rejection What you all need to know is that it is not us who do not want him, nor is it that the Writers’ association is closed to accepting a disputed character We welco Ye did not wish to join us So it’s not like we can do anything about that Maybe you should go ask him instead”
A ed reporter asked, “Vice-President Yan…”
Yan Yu ht, that will be all for now I still have so to attend to”
When a number of literary world members saw that froether out of the venue They did not wish to be interviewed in any way It was already eh today that a bunch of seniors were outspoken by a junior Their faces at thiswith eain, they would not have coifted themselves forward to have their faces stepped on!
Actually,Ye had said today ht not definitely be the correct, but it was only because he could explain it and a large part of his explanations were logical Even when they felt that soht not be the truth, they could not refute it for no other reason than siical inconsistencies In the world of Redology, Zhang Ye was the only person who had given a reasonable analysis while no one else had Because of this, they could not be sufficiently e Ye’s killing spree!
Numbed
How old was this Zhang even? How did he have such a deep understanding of ‘Dream of the Red Chay world? And he’s even more powerful than them?
The literary world members had all walked aith ashened heads and mudcaked faces!
Over there, depart interviewed by a reporter
Chang Kaige said to the reporter with a sh hopes for him, nor have we ever for a moment doubted our own lecturers Everyone can see now that with Teacher Zhang Ye’s literary foundation, he isUniversity’s Chinese depart University to teach, it is also good for us, as well as a lucky outcome for the students who like classical novels As for the doubts of our student’s parents that you mentioned earlier, and the doubts of the education and literary world, I believe that after today, they will all dissipate Even if some doubt still remains, our Chinese depart We have reason to believe that fro’s elective class ‘Appreciation of the Classics’ would become a feature class of our Chinese department It would become our Chinese department’s headline class!”
