Others may not have any idea, but Xu Qing has long understood Liu Jingting's small decision.

When he first started filming "Journey to the West", Liu Jingting mentioned the idea of ​​"global travel" to Xu Qing. He was quite eager for his words and talked, and even recited several Xu Qing's travel notes on the spot.

Although he was just mentioned casually at that time, Xu Qing understood that once a person like Liu Jingting had some idea, he would definitely take root and sprout until he was uncontrollable.

Although Liu Jingting rarely mentioned it again after that, his behavior revealed the gradual arrival of that day.

Just like some people say that they resign, those who often talk about it can persist, while those who keep silent will suddenly submit their resignation one day.

"Wait until that day, put aside all work and all the complicated thoughts, and walk around the earth happily."

When Liu Jingting said this, the expression on his face was very tired, and at the same time he felt a little comfortable.

Now, that day is coming.

Liu Jingting returned to the school. He did not go to watch the campus program that Gao Shu was preparing. He did not go to the "Jianglu" office to personally guide the publishing of the next issue of the magazine. He did not go back to the apartment to chat and spank with his roommates. Liu Jingting visited every professor he knew from Vientiane Academy...

He has skipped every professor's classes and has also taken every professor's classes. He is the student with the least classes in the department and the student who is most familiar to the professors.

The professors responded differently to his arrival. Some were concerned about the lack of academic shortcomings and preparations for graduation design. Some asked about the shooting of the TV series. Some expressed interest in his new book. Some directly encouraged him to settle down and conquer Nobel. Some were kind and some were serious. No matter what attitude, there was an emotion that was consistent. They were all proud of this student and expressed satisfaction for him to visit him. If you count it carefully, you have taught so many students over the years, but only Liu Jingting was the one who talked about the most in private.

After this visit, I spent two days. After taking advantage of the meal from the four professors, I delivered six CDs of the complete collection of "Journey to the West" and confirmed my graduation design.

"In theory, you need to submit an article about theories, but don't make forced requirements, otherwise it will be no different from those eight-legged essays in second-rate universities."

While having dinner at Professor Cao's house, Professor Cao clearly told Liu Jingting that he was the leader of the defense group of this year's Literature Department. When talking about the selection of materials for graduation design, Professor Cao gave his own opinions.

"It can be a short and medium-sized work of any subject, but I suggest it is better not martial arts, so as not to take the opportunity to get angry."

"Does Professor Yan reject martial arts?" Liu Jingting asked curiously. After all, Professor Yan is very kind to him and there is no sign of rejection at all.

"It is not rejection, it is acceptance with discriminatory minds. What you know is nothing more than the destructive things of serious literature and popular literature."

Liu Jingting laughed silently and said, "Professor Cao, I understand. I have to think about this carefully. After all, it is a graduation project."

Professor Cao nodded with satisfaction and said no.

In fact, when leaving Professor Cao's house and on the way back to the apartment, Liu Jingting determined the topic of his graduation thesis, which was a coincidence.

When Liu Jingting left the gate of the teacher's apartment, it was already 7:50 pm and went up the slope in front of the apartment. Next to it was a supermarket. On the roadside in front of the supermarket was a black iron chair. On the iron chair was a boy wearing a blue jersey and holding a basketball. The boy sat straight. His eyes were staring at the black mound opposite the road, probably waiting for someone.

Liu Jingting was stunned when he saw it, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of a tragic comedy.

...

Unlike other universities, the graduation defense of Vientiane Academy is scheduled in late June. Logically speaking, graduates should determine the topic at the end of May and submit the first draft of the thesis in early June. However, as a "regular exception", Liu Jingting can naturally choose the topic. The first draft and final draft are submitted together. However, for those who are unruly in Vientiane, even Liu Jingting may not be a green light all the way. For example, Professor Yan, it is one thing to invite Liu Jingting to dinner and accept Liu Jingting's TV plate, and the graduation thesis defense is another thing. As a "defense killer", Professor Yan's seriousness and rigor are famous. Every year, it is common to argue with the defense team leader with red faces.

Even Liu Jingting, who felt that he was foolproof, had the absurdity of having a breeding sheep into the tiger's mouth when submitting his paper.

...

"I was curious about what level of graduation thesis he had prepared in three days?"

Professor Yan saw Professor Cao reviewing Liu Jingting's paper and commented sharply as usual, but Professor Cao ignored her.

"What's wrong with Lao Cao, his expression is so serious?"

In the temporary defense team office, not only Professor Yan was paying attention to Liu Jingting's newly handed graduation thesis, but several other professors were also curious. After all, it was Liu Jingting, who had written works such as "The True Story of Ah Q" and "Necklace". Xiao Lin couldn't help asking when he saw Lao Cao so devoted.

Professor Cao did not answer and shook his head.

"What article is mysterious?" Professor Xiao said, and simply leaned over to read it himself, "Waiting for Godot, drama?"

Xiao Lin turned his head and read it, and soon fell silent.

Five minutes later, Xiao Lin said, "Is it a repetition?"

"It's basically similar." Professor Cao replied.

Five minutes later, Professor Cao closed the manuscript and asked Xiao Lin: "What do you say, Lao Xiao?"

Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Absurd and boring, fragmented, incoherent, inexplicable, but-"

“But what?”

Xiao Lin frowned, shook his head, pondered, and said, "But I feel it is unfathomable."

"If Liu Jingting hadn't written "The True Story of Ah Q" and "Hamlet", I might think this is a nonsense, but in fact, it is a drama that is so profound that it is beyond our expectations. He may have said much more than we currently imagine."

"Don't keep it there, print a few more copies, and everyone will take a look." Professor Yan urged.

"Oh, sorry, Professor Yan, please take it over and look."

Professor Yan was not polite, so he took the manuscript and went to copy it alone.

Xiao Lin and Lao Cao are still discussing.

"It goes against tradition and is completely contrary to rational thinking."

"Yes, you can imagine how much controversy and discussion this drama will cause in the academic community after it is released."

Professor Yan copied the paper and sent a copy to each professor in the office.

Half an hour later, Professor Yan, who was reviewing the paper, suddenly stood up from his seat and said, "I'll call Professor Wen and Director Kang."

The other professors nodded after hearing this.

"When Liu Jingting defended, I applied to attend."

“I apply too.”

Professor Cao was stunned and then smiled bitterly, "What kind of defense is we want to go over and listen to his class."

Looking at the whole of China, who is qualified to teach professors such as Vientiane Academy at the same time? Although Lao Cao's words are a bit exaggerated, they also prove the great charm of the drama "Waiting for Godot".

Liu Jingting chose the foundation work of this absurd drama as his graduation design, which is the biggest work in history.

"Waiting for Godot" is a two-act tragedy comedy by Nobel Prize winner Beckett. The article uses absurd writing to describe two people waiting for Godot, but from the beginning, no one knows who Godot is, including those two people waiting.

In order to kill the waiting time, the two people (one named Gogo and the other named Didi) began to talk nonsense, do a lot of meaningless things, and then a pair of weird masters and servants came. The master held the servant and threatened the servant with a whip, but Godot never appeared. Finally, Godot's messenger appeared and told Gogo and Didi that Godot would not come today, but would definitely come tomorrow, and the first act ended.

The second act is basically the repetition of the first act, whether it is the scene or the character, but the master and servant are blind and the servant are mute, and Godot still does not appear. The messenger said that Godot will definitely come tomorrow...

The drama has come to an abrupt end. It can be speculated that if the drama continues, it will still be repeated continuously.

It is such a seemingly absurd drama, but like Hamlet's "survival or death" problem, which has plagued countless literary researchers. The literary world has been debated for many years, but there has never been a definite conclusion.

Who is Godot?

Is the meaning of existence really an eternal repetition of boring actions?

Godot is the hope that humans have been waiting for?

When will that hope come?

The professors of the Vientiane Office inevitably and willingly entered the pit and entered this vicious cycle.

"Is this a challenge to Nobel?"

Dean Wen said with emotion after reading this drama.
