Chapter 128 The last leaf!

With the blessing of a vast and huge figure, Liu Jingting was not afraid of any form of questions, and the length of the article was not a problem. Taking the previous three rounds of competitions as an example, although the judges tried different ways to tinker with strange questions, they could not escape the scope of the three masters. Even if Director Kang took action personally, he still had the same idea.

Liu Jingting was not in a hurry to start the project, and looked at the educator who was as peaceful as a scholar. Coincidentally, Kang Yuchang actually walked towards him with a smile.

Liu Jingting calmly withdrew his gaze, stared at the computer screen, and thought. Kang Yuchang walked to Liu Jingting, glanced at the empty documents and empty manuscript paper, and said softly: "Are you confident or have no clue?"

Liu Jingting answered truthfully: "The leaves are easy to draw, but the ten thousand words behind them are difficult."

"It was specially prepared for you."

"Ah, it's so honorable."

"It's easy to say, people's hearts are not enough. There are only small surprises in the short article. I hope you can give me a bigger surprise."

“There are more opportunities in the future.”

"Yes, but I still want to watch some preview. By the way, don't rush back after writing. Come to my house for a snack and let me do my best for the landlords."

Liu Jingting agreed, completely unaware of what it means to have a meal with Professor Kang, and even more unaware of how many heavyweights in all walks of life want to meet Professor Kang but cannot be obtained. Even Gong Yuanhe, chairman of Gong Media, asked Professor Kang to have a cup of tea through an intermediate talent.

The other seven students all cast their eyes with admiration and enviousness. They were convinced that Liu Jingting was able to chat and laugh so calmly in such a tense competition environment and face Professor Kang. With this determination and courage, they were either fools who couldn't figure out the situation or geniuses who were strong enough to a certain level of heart.

As for envy, there is no need to say more. At a charity dinner, a wealthy businessman bid 2 million to buy "the opportunity to have a meal with Kang Yuchang", which shows that it is not important what to eat, what useful tips to get at the dinner table or the contact information of some people are the key.

After Professor Kang left the classroom, Liu Jingting began to type, with the title: "The Last Leaf".

This story still comes from the American short story master O'Henry, who also translated it as "The Last Ivy Leaf", and is included in the world's excellent short stories together with "Maggie's Gift".

The story of this short story is very simple: a seriously ill young poor female painter lying on the hospital bed. Seeing the ivy leaves on the tree opposite the window constantly blown down by the wind, she thought that the withering of the last leaf represents her death, so she lost the will to survive.

The doctor believed that if this continues, the female painter would really die. An old painter who was in the bottom of the building and society, after hearing about this, he was in a heavy rain at night. He drew a piece of ivy leaves that would not fall wither, allowing the female painter to regain hope for life, but the old painter suffered from pneumonia and unfortunately passed away.

The main theme of the story is also obvious, mainly to explore and praise the great personality and noble character of the little people, and to show their beautiful wishes for the human world. The last leaf was not painted by ordinary brushes, but from the brushes from the soul.

The story structure is still reversed at the end, and the length is still not large. However, after reading the whole article, readers will still be worried about the fate of the seriously ill female painter and are still pleased with the pure friendship in the story. Of course, the biggest feeling of this story is the fraternity of the old painter, which is different from the warm ending of "Maggie's Gift". When reading "The Last Leaf", you can truly feel a shocking force, which is moving.

[Dear, this leaf is Bellman's masterpiece. It was on the night when the last leaf fell, and he drew it there...]

The story tells the truth through the mouth of the female painter's roommate and completes the reversal. At the same time, the greatness of the old painter is affirmed through the word "masterpiece".

Liu Jingting was still the first to hand in the paper. However, after he walked out of the classroom this time, he did not rush to go around, but walked into a pavilion and sat down quietly. He was waiting for Professor Kang's "second question", the question specially prepared for him.

He turned on his phone and started surfing the Internet. Netizens on the martial arts forum were urging the next movie Chu Liuxiang.

"Don't bring such a tormenting person. Brother Gu, what problems did Chu Liuxiang encounter? Come out and tell everyone quickly."

"Don't tell me Li Hongxiu that some beauties of Song Tianer were killed. If that were the case, I might not be able to control myself and give Gu Da that."

"We can wait, but please give us a certain time, even a vague time, such as next month or next year."

This is a more straightforward reader, and there are also some netizens who pretend to be calm but still have resentment in their words: "It should not be the author's intention, it is a trick of booksellers to engage in hunger marketing and snatch readers' tastes. Everyone is patient and don't fall into the tricks of the prodigal merchants."

The remaining group of readers began to guess the subsequent plot with pleasure.

Overall, the problem is not particularly big, and because of the continuous serialization of "Yunhai Yugongyuan", readers have expressed a certain level of understanding no matter how anxious they are.

Other news about himself is this essay contest. He has won the first place in two rounds and has become the most popular candidate for Vientiane Academy. The two short stories written in the competition have also become popular stories about Douya Reading, forming a considerable wave of discussions and even attracted the attention of the academic community.

Mr. Zhou Zaidao, a well-known writer of Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts, publicly expressed his appreciation for Liu Jingting, believing that his future is limitless and even extended an olive branch to recruit disciples.

Liu Jingting smiled with emotion.

Then some professors from the School of Literature of well-known universities came forward and said that if Vientiane failed to admit Liu Jingting in the end, they were willing to give Liu Jingting a second choice.

Liu Jingting, who felt that he had become a popular guy, had a certain degree of vanity. Then he quit the Internet, called his father to report on the situation of the game.

...

"The Last Leaf" won the championship again without any suspense!

The one who made the decision this time was not Vice President Hu Jian, but Director Kang himself.

If the first article "Maggie's Gift" is accidental and the second article "Necklace" is luck, then the third article "The Last Leaf" is a complete display of strength.

After reading the story, Kang Yuchang was so happy that he just wanted to laugh. He had a literary and artistic factor hidden in his bones. He expressed his rare conscience with this story because he was indeed picked up the leaf, and the question was casually posted, and the answer given by Liu Jingting seemed to be easy to pick up.

"A post is natural, and I got it by hand! Liu Jingting may become the biggest surprise at the beginning of the founding of the Academy of Literature and Arts." Director Kang looked at the words on the screen and sighed like a treasure: "Old Zheng, Lao Xia wants to compete for students with me. Are you too naive to think about it?"

"That director, the last additional question..." Hu Jian asked implicitly.

"I still need to add it. I just want to see where the limit of this Liu Jingting is? Go to the classroom and put the questions."

Ten minutes later, Director Kang's ultimate additional question appeared on the projector, without a single Chinese character, only twenty-six English letters!

Even Professor Hu Jian, who was standing on the podium, was stunned, "What is this question?"
Chapter completed!
