Chapter 40: Follow the Master's Teachings
Jiang Zhiyu stood quietly beside Dr. Qian, staring at the competition, but thinking about the details of the exam in her heart. Dr. Qian noticed her expression and patted her shoulder gently: "Zhiyu, if you have any confusion, you may ask me for advice."
Jiang Zhiyu smiled gently and said, "I have one question that I don't understand, and I would like to ask you, Doctor. I think I performed well in this exam, but I am still a little uneasy."
Dr. Qian nodded slightly and said gently, "This shows that you are enterprising, which is a valuable quality. The true meaning of the exam is not only the score, but also your deep understanding and application of knowledge. As long as you persevere, you will definitely be among the best."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu's mind suddenly became clear and he felt a sense of respect for Dr. Qian.
The game on the field became more and more intense. Liu Mengmeng couldn't help but shout: "Qi Zimo, pass the ball to Zhang Anjie quickly!" Qi Zimo smiled knowingly and passed the ball to Zhang Anjie skillfully.
Zhang Anjie took the ball and quickly broke through the opponent's defense like a tiger descending from the mountain, and kicked the ball accurately into the opponent's goal.
"Great!" Liu Mengmeng jumped up excitedly and cheered. Xiao Wen also smiled and clapped her hands in praise: "It seems that the strength of our team is indeed not to be underestimated."
Liu Mengmeng's cheers were like a spring breeze blowing across the water, creating a warm ripple on the Cuju field, making the atmosphere even more heated. Qi Zimo's eyes penetrated the crowd and fell on Zhang Anjie's resolute back, with a barely perceptible glimpse of approval in his eyes. At this moment, Dr. Qian turned around gently and said to Jiang Zhiyu with a kind look: "Zhiyu, you see, the struggle seen on the Cuju field is the same as the knowledge sought in the school, and both require us to do our best."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded slightly and answered respectfully, "I will keep this in mind, Doctor. Whether pursuing knowledge or participating in competitions, they are all challenges to one's abilities."
Just as the atmosphere was reaching its climax, Hu Jiahong's voice exploded like thunder: "Doctor, we won!" It turned out that their team had successfully broken through the opponent's defense and took the fruits of victory.
Dr. Qian showed a pleased smile on his face and said kindly to everyone: "Very good, your performance on the Cuju field has demonstrated your team spirit and indomitable fighting spirit. However, this is just a new starting point, and more severe challenges are waiting for us to meet."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes sparkled with determination. Kang Yining couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor, what instructions do we have next?"
"I have seen your hard work. Now just relax and don't worry too much about your grades. I believe your efforts will not be in vain." Dr. Qian said with satisfaction.
The echo of Dr. Qian's words was still lingering in the air when the spacious Cuju field of the Imperial College suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.
Jiang Zhiyu and others looked at each other, with unconcealable joy flashing in their eyes, like bright stars.
Jiang Zhiyu was the first to speak out, with sincere feelings: "Dr. Qian, we will always remember your care and love, and we will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Dr. Qian smiled gently and looked at Liu Mengmeng tenderly: "Mengmeng, you have been studying hard these days and have worked very hard. After the academic assessment is over, how about I take you to appreciate the scenery of the capital?"
Liu Mengmeng's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly: "Dr. Qian's kindness, I am grateful for your kindness, and I am willing to follow you."
At this time, Xiao Wen stepped forward and said, "Dr. Qian, we all have a common question in Class Huang. What do you think about the topic of our assessment this time?"
Dr. Qian nodded: "The questions are indeed difficult, but they are also a test of your abilities. Xiao Wen, what do you think?"
Xiao Wen thought for a moment and calmly replied, "Students think that these questions not only test our knowledge reserves, but also test our adaptability and ability to understand and apply classics. I think this assessment is a valuable experience for us."
Qi Zimo immediately added: "That's true, Dr. Qian. Zhang Anjie from our class has a very profound understanding of this question."
Dr. Qian's eyes lit up: "Oh? Then I'm all ears."
Zhang Anjie stood up confidently and explained in a sonorous and powerful manner: "Dr. Qian, this question is actually about exploring the true meaning of 'benevolence' in The Analects. Students think that 'benevolence' is not unprincipled love, it also needs standards and bottom lines. When answering, we should express our admiration for 'benevolence', but also combine it with real situations and explain our personal views."
After listening to this, Dr. Qian nodded repeatedly and praised: "Zhang Anjie's analysis is quite ingenious. It seems that you have all thought deeply about this question."
At this time, Zou Ting asked curiously: "Dr. Qian, what do you think of Hu Jiahong in our class?"
Dr. Qian smiled calmly: "Although Hu Jiahong's answer seems immature, his love for classics and his unremitting pursuit are admirable. I firmly believe that as long as he continues to work hard, he will shine in the Imperial College in the future."
Liu Mengmeng curiously asked: "How did Liao Zhen and Xu Guokun perform? They are the best in our class."
Dr. Qian replied: "Liao Zhen's rigorous scholarship and clear organization are satisfactory. Xu Guokun has unique insights and a deep understanding of the topic. His performance is very outstanding."
Kang Yining interrupted at this time: "Dr. Qian, in our class, who performed better, Xu Guokun or Liao Zhen?"
Dr. Qian smiled and replied: "It is not convenient for me to comment on this question. They each have their own strengths. You should learn from each other and improve together."
Hu Jiahong stepped forward at this time: "Dr. Qian, I think our class's results are not the most important thing. The key lies in what we have gained in the process. I think this assessment has made us have a deeper understanding of 'benevolence'."
Dr. Qian nodded and praised: "Jiahong is right. You must remember that the educational purpose of the Imperial College is not only to train you to become knowledgeable people, but more importantly to teach you how to be a good person and how to use the knowledge you have learned to contribute to society."
Jiang Zhiyu said with emotion: "Dr. Qian, we will definitely remember your teachings and study harder."
Dr. Qian looked at them expectantly and said, "Okay, then go and get ready to rest. I am looking forward to your results."
Dr. Qian's words were full of encouragement and expectation, and Jiang Zhiyu and other students were deeply moved.
Jiang Zhiyu led the students to agree in unison: "We will follow the Master's teachings and study hard to become the pillars of the country as soon as possible!"
Dr. Qian nodded with satisfaction and watched them leave. His thoughts gradually drifted away and his memory seemed to have returned to his youth and school days.
At their age, wasn't he also full of vigor and fighting spirit?
