Chapter 1 Inadvertent Guessing

It was morning, and the senior students' Chinese exam was underway.

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu were also in the bedroom, reading books, to save on air conditioning costs.

Xia Xinyu was memorizing vocabulary, and Chen Yuan was studying chemistry.

Both were the kind of learning content that didn't require a lot of thought.

Just then, Chen Yuan checked the Three Musketeers group chat.

He saw that everyone was chatting in the group.

The vitality of these three is increasing in order.

So, after five minutes of thinking, Chen Yuan started writing.

And at this moment, although they hadn't planned it in advance.

Shi Yi: This would get full marks on the gaokao!

Chen Yuan also found the issue they were discussing quite interesting.

Shen Yating: Why don't we guess this year's essay topic?

Liu Chengxi: How can we guess that? We definitely won't get it right.

Shi Yi: Unless it's close to politics, something aligned with the main theme, it'll be hard to guess.

First of all, she's definitely skilled, because she understands dialectics.

"But I also like those main theme articles, preferably the kind about national peace and prosperity, and China illuminated by lights," Xia Xinyu added.

"Yu Bao, what kind of essay do you like?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

Think?

Thinking also takes time!

Stealing Child, a master in the comment section, and a creator of excellent works.

It's definitely someone who can skillfully use memes, integrate them into their work, and then create new memes.

Wouldn't that be perfect?

[Yi Ran] is copying verbatim, and according to the prompt, he didn't even copy it correctly, pure dogmatism.

When *Dream of the Red Chamber* gets to the "Grand View Garden Talent Test for Inscriptions" there is a plot where after the completion of the Grand View Garden built for Yuanfei (Jia Yuanchun) to visit her family, the people inscribe the plaques of the pavilions on the bridge in the garden. Some people advocated from Ouyang Xiu's *An Account of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion*… (The topic is in this chapter's notes)

This is comparative.

So there are two possibilities for this year's *gaokao* essay.

Among the essay topics that science students hate, the main theme is one, pure literary topics (like "The Highest Good is Like Water, Adapting to a Round Container"), and then argumentative essays full of Marxist philosophy are also disliked.

*Empresses in the Palace* and *The Story of Ming Lan* are watchable…

"Captain, ready to go."

The war had already begun invisibly.

And at 11:45, Shen Yating sent the complete essay topic to the group.

And Chen Yuan, before opening it, looked at Xia Xinyu next to him and asked, "Are you ready?"

Liu Chengxi: But if it's a main theme essay, it feels a bit disadvantageous for those who are extremely good at Chinese.

Shen Yating: Nono, I think it's actually aimed at students who are usually more profound and dare to play tricks.

Liu Chengxi: Are you talking about Xu Xiaoming?

Shen Yating: Yes, this person has been praised more than once by the Chinese teacher for having ideas and writing deeply. Even in the highly graded joint exams, he has gotten a god-like score of 58.

Ke Jiayuan from Fourth High School once beat Shi Yi in the overall score.

Indeed, that's been the trend in recent years.

You must know that as a *gaokao* essay topic, there is absolutely no threshold.

Wang Xiaobo studied economics and trade, and Mai Jia was a science student who got a perfect score in the *gaokao* math.

The question setters wouldn't do such an amateurish thing.

[Qin Fang], on the other hand, upholds a positive and courageous attitude, negating everything that is backward, rigid, and outdated.

Many science students also possess this kind of thing.

No, this has nothing to do with *Dream of the Red Chamber*.

In the Chinese exam, dialectics is very important.

It can even elevate the value, rising to connotation.

Just like that, after the link was opened, this year's exam topic came out.

In other words, these are some of the weaknesses of science students (generally, not referring to all of them).

There were essay papers in front of both of them.

Xia Xinyu made a gesture, very serious.

All-rounder.

Saying it's guessing the content, it's actually guessing whether to write a main theme essay.

It tests the understanding of the topic's connotation.

But even so, can you say that his championship is not meaningful?

In fact, this also involves an innate ability to argue.

For example, that period of history, from learning machinery to "learn the advanced technology of the foreigners to control them", that is, the Westernization Movement purely learning technology. To the later "Hundred Days' Reform", advocating complete Westernization. Then to the Xinhai Revolution, various route attempts...

Chen Yuan also roughly understood Xia Xinyu's style.

Headache.

Just like that, everyone waited.

I knew I should have finished reading *Dream of the Red Chamber* patiently.

Although this is a must-read book for high school students, she really doesn't have the patience to read it.

Playing with memes, integrating memes, creating memes.

That is, literary talent, writing skill.

You need to know that even a superhero like Shi Yi has been defeated.

If he participated in the *gaokao* in advance, could he beat the current top scorer?

He could even blow him away with a Spirit Wind!

"Indeed, this is a very simple and good topic."

Luck is still very important.

And this is the test of the examinee's writing appeal.

The key to this topic is actually—everyone gave names to the plaques, either directly using them, or borrowing and transforming them, or creating them uniquely according to the situation, which produced different artistic effects. This phenomenon can also give people inspiration in a wider field and trigger in-depth thinking. Please combine your own learning and life experience to write an essay.

As long as the mind is opened and some things are used flexibly, the horizon will also become wider.

Some topics look very dialectical, but in fact, they have blocked the angle and are very narrow.

And this kind of essay is very easy to go off-topic.

It wasn't long before the topic was revealed.

And [Xie Yu] is excessively trusting authority, failing to fully consider the current situation and actual needs, seemingly quoting chapters and excerpts, but actually making a fool of yourself.

Therefore, examinees should develop a skill.

Isn't this a very good example?

To be precise, it is not necessary to read *Dream of the Red Chamber* to be able to write.

What if the topic is very abstract?

I'm invincible.

Those who won a championship and quickly fell, why not because they were taking advantage of the version?

At this time, although she had a headache, after working hard, Xia Xinyu also began to write.

Most of the time, you can only rely on feeling.

That is the experience and skills of solving problems.

Each was given a certain amount of time, and after writing, they were directly handed over to their respective teachers for correction.

The Chinese exam is over.

Simulating the *gaokao* as much as possible.

Shen Yating, Liu Chengxi, Bai Mingze, Shi Yi, and also Xinyuan, have already started the *gaokao* simulation in advance.

So, while opening the link, Chen Yuan started counting down one hour.

Is destiny with me?

This essay happens to be able to test Chen Yuan's level.

But science students don't need to study politics. Therefore, many people don't have a particularly deep understanding of dialectics.

After thinking for a while, Xia Xinyu said with some anticipation: "It doesn't have to be so grand, with a bit of 'dialectics', like that *ben shou*, *miao shou*, *su shou*, I like that very much." (basic move, clever move, common move)

In case the *gaokao* for math and science isn't so harsh, but the intensity of Chinese and English increases, he may be able to rise strongly and compete for the artifact.

But the members of 'Three Musketeers'.

It can only be said that whether you can get the right topic is purely a matter of fate.

To simplify it a bit.

Damn, I haven't read *Dream of the Red Chamber*.

How do you write Yi Ran, Xie Yu, Qin Fang…

Of course, there is another very important point.

Pure copying, borrowing, and innovation.

And when she saw this topic, Xia Xinyu frowned directly.

On the other hand, she is not afraid of some picture-based compositions.

In fact, getting the top scorer is really not all about hard power.

"Indeed, this is too simple. If you can't write well on this kind of essay, you can't be called a human being."

For a time, the entire internet was filled with wailing test takers.

There is absolutely no situation where you can only write if you have read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, or you can only write if you can play Go.

Let's put it this way, among the following three types of people, who can make a living on the Internet?

It mainly depends on the understanding of the three words: transfer, borrowing, and originality.

Rarely, she became a little 'anxious'.

Once you go off-topic, it can be said that this subject, Chinese, is directly gone.

Moreover, this is something that can be judged immediately.

They hadn't even talked to each other.

In other words, it depends on the version.

Recommending a friend's book, the number of words is still very small, although the title is a bit obscure, but the content is okay.
