Chapter 39: A century of change

The stage of the Grand Theater is spacious and bright, and the audience is full.

Standing on the stage, the host introduced with eloquence: "This year is 2006, the 100th anniversary of the founding of Provincial No. 1 Middle School! A hundred years of history, a hundred years of changes. Next, the students of the second (17th) class will We bring a large-scale drama show "Variation"!"

The stage lights gradually dimmed, and Jiang Yubai calmly appeared on the stage.

The high-definition lens of the camera aimed at Jiang Yubai, and the screen showed how good his appearance was. The auditorium really became quiet, and the spotlight fell on Jiang Yubai's head.

Jiang Yubai faced the audience in a very natural state.

Duan Qiyan was infected by Jiang Yubai and immediately entered the play. He is a new teacher in a new style school and a stubborn old master. He holds a ruler in his hand, which is the embodiment of his majesty. He raised his head halfway, scorned Lin Zhixia, showing pride in his bones.

Lin Zhixia stood at the door of the school with a bamboo basket. She tried her best to fight for opportunities for herself. She wanted to receive a new-style education and stepped into the school openly like a man.

She raised her tone, angry and helpless, even though her eyes were full of tears, her expression was still high and calm. She grabbed a wad of rice paper from the bamboo basket, which was her own article.

Jiang Yubai refused to read her work, and Duan Qiyan was still sneered. Lin Zhixia raised her arms, and the rice paper was spilled all over the floor. She declared loudly: "One day, women can also enter school, and women can also be officials!"

The theater uses "ground microphone" and "hanging microphone", and the sound amplification effect is very good. Lin Zhixia's voice reached the audience's ears, and a group of students in the front row couldn't help but applaud.

Lin Zhixia acted too vividly. She is the central figure in the 1906 scene of "Change."

In 2006, the entire stage became Jiang Yubai's home. The eyes of the audience closely follow his figure, digging with him the rise and fall of history a hundred years ago.

He played the role of a middle school student. He argued fiercely with a group of classmates, and everyone suddenly discovered that the meaning of education is to provide more opportunities, explore a broader perspective, and create a more equal world.

When the curtain call came, all the actors stood in a row and read the school motto of "Being knowledgeable and careful, self-cultivation and virtue". Principal Shen, who was sitting down the stage, stood up and applauded for them first, and the atmosphere in the theater suddenly reached its peak.

Teacher Zhang, the teacher of the second (seventeenth) class, was standing in the aisle of the auditorium, looking at his students with a glorious face. His colleagues praised him politely, saying that the students in his class are creative and smart.

In normal times, Teacher Zhang will definitely answer humbly, where and where. However, today, Teacher Zhang smiled like a spring breeze: "The students in our 17th class have quick thinking and strong practical ability. This script is written by themselves, and I don't care about them."

After speaking, Teacher Zhang stood up straight, enjoying the envy of his colleagues.

Teacher Wang, the head teacher of Class 18, sat in his seat upright, not even a glimmer of light from the corner of his eyes fell on Teacher Zhang.

However, Mr. Zhang knew that Mr. Wang specially instructed the students of Class 18 to perform "Green Grasshopper" for the school celebration.

"Green Grasshopper" is a text in the first language textbook of junior high school. The author of this text is French entomologist Fabre. Teacher Wang wants to express a spirit of "caring for animals and caring for nature" through "Green Grasshopper". His idea is of course very good and excellent.

However, this play is not appropriate to be placed on the stage.

The actors of Class 18 put on the green grasshopper headgear and jumped repeatedly under the bright light, imitating a group of lively and cute grasshoppers. The audience all laughed together, no one cared what lines the grasshoppers said—in a sense, the performance of Class 18 was also very successful. They are highly accomplished in comedy.

After the curtain call of Class 18, the actors left one after another. They took off the green grasshopper's headgear and happened to ran into the crew of Class 17 in the background.

The crew of the 17th class gathered together like a small team. Lin Zhixia stood in the center and said cheerfully: "I am so happy! Have you heard? How loud is the audience applauding! They all agree with us. Even Principal Shen liked our performance very much."

Jin Baihui said abruptly: "Principal Shen is Shen Jixuan's mother. Shen Jixuan is from your 17th class."

Shen Jixuan was named by Jin Baihui. He frowned: "The principal is my mother. Why, did you offend you? Can't my mother applaud our 17th class?"

Jin Baihui raised a hand to hold the green grasshopper's headgear. Many classmates of Class 18 stood behind her, and she was tit-for-tat against Class 17. "I have no other meaning. I just want to say that you did not perform well."

"I'm so laughing," Duan Qiyan pushed away Shen Shixuan, and quarreled with Jin Baihui first. "Our 17th class didn't perform well. How strong are the green grasshoppers of your 18th class?"

Duan Qiyan lags behind, and several students from Class 17 all laughed "puchi".

Duan Qiyan and Jin Baihui had already become enemies. Today is the 100th anniversary celebration. It is a day of great joy. Jin Baihui leads the classmates to pick up the pricks. How could Duan Qiyan endure such a tone? He directly sarcastically said: "As for the script in your class, I can write more than a hundred with my eyes closed. Why are you crazy, Jin Baihui?"

Duan Qiyan's simple few words deepened the gap between the two classes.

The backstage of the theater is crowded. The staff behind the scenes are still walking around. Lin Zhixia scanned the surroundings and tried to round the scene: "Jin Baihui, although the script of your class is relatively simple, the main idea of ​​your class is very positive and uplifting, showing the youthful vitality of middle school students, and the audience in the audience laughed happily..."

After speaking, Lin Zhixia said again: "I originally thought that you would not participate in the school celebration performance."

"I heard that you are going to participate in the show, so I came." Jin Baihui passed by Lin Zhixia, holding the grasshopper in his headgear.

Lin Zhixia turned her head and looked at her back.

Although Jin Baihui joined the performance team of Class 18, she still seemed unable to integrate into the group. The students in Class 18 rarely talk to her, she always does things silently. She found her schoolbag, sorted out the materials, and took out a copy of "English Words in the Palm". She put her schoolbag on her lap and sat on a pure wooden bench in the background. With a dim light, her lips opened and closed, quietly practicing English vocabulary.

Jin Baihui's tenacious spirit shocked Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia stood there blankly, Jiang Yubai followed her line of sight and saw the hardworking Jin Baihui. The hustle and bustle of the Centennial Anniversary has nothing to do with Jin Baihui. Jin Baihui was completely immersed in the lonely and remote world.

"The book mountain has roads and diligence as a path, and the study of the sea has no end to work hard." Jiang Yubai commented.

"Are you like this at home?" Lin Zhixia looked at him curiously, "My brother works very hard at home. However, my brother also likes to play games, he especially likes playing basketball. He probably can't recite words in the backstage of the theater."

Jiang Yubai described: "I'm at home..."

"Hmm!" Lin Zhixia nodded continuously. She listened to him very seriously.

Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai stood in a corner with little light. Jiang Yubai's expression and movements are all hidden in the dark. Lin Zhixia heard him smile softly. Before she could see the smile on his face clearly, a faint regret rose in her heart. He added: "I am at home and often make up lessons."

Lin Zhixia shook her hands: "I admire you and Jin Baihui."

Jiang Yubai said, "You don't have to admire ordinary people like us."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Jiang Yubai felt a little surprised. He could even admit that he was an ordinary person in front of Lin Zhixia. Two years ago, when he was just nine years old, he dreamed of defeating Lin Zhixia and wanted Lin Zhixia to know all his strengths.

Now, he is only eleven years old, and his mindset has changed.

Lin Zhixia told him: "I admire all the students who work hard towards their goals. In essence, we are all the same."

She stretched out a hand to Jiang Yubai. Jiang Yubai's ghost envoy also stretched out his hand, and Lin Zhixia immediately slapped him. She was so happy, as if she had just drunk a bottle of strawberry yogurt.

For Lin Zhixia, the meaning of the three words "Jiang Yubai" even surpasses that of strawberry.

At the end of September, the celebration activities of the Provincial No. 1 Middle School ended successfully. The organizing committee of each grade jointly reviewed the school celebration program and selected the first, second, and third prize-winning classes of the junior high school.

"Variation" of the second (17th) grade of junior high school won the first prize. The principal also grandly praised the fighting spirit and spirit conveyed by "Variation" on the broadcast. During that time, the students in Class 17 walked with wind on campus.

The red flag of honor of "First Prize of Centennial School Celebration" was also hung in front of the classroom of Class 17. When Teacher Zhang came to give everyone a math class, he laughed from ear to ear. He admired the red flag and suddenly said, "I invite you all to have a meal."

Teacher Zhang leaned against the desk and said loudly: "I didn't put much effort into your rehearsal program. Originally, I didn't expect our classmates to win the rankings, but everyone performed so well. Through this event, I I know, our classmates are not nerds. You love learning, have a sense of collective honor, and have class cohesion. You are the best student I have ever taught."

Teacher Zhang's remarks touched some students in the class.

Jiang Yubai closed the book in his hand and turned his attention to the head teacher. At this moment, his deskmate Lin Zhixia went to the high school for a training camp, and the seat beside him was empty.

At first, whenever Lin Zhixia left, Jiang Yubai would indeed feel disappointed. But he quickly adjusted his mentality. Because he knew that she would definitely come back. He greeted her return with an expectant mood, and her appearance became a surprise.
