In early March, school started at Yan University, and the weather was gloomy, with signs of cold spring.

A group of students gathered enthusiastically in the triangle area. The cold wind in early spring did not affect their state.

All of them had excited expressions, and their stop in the Triangle quickly attracted the attention of many students.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Lin Dongwei stood at the front of the crowd and spoke eloquently for five minutes. The content was similar to what he had just said at the door of the cafe, which was to pursue "fairness".

Lin Dongwei's impassioned speech triggered a round of applause from the supporters behind him. Even many students who came to watch the excitement were moved by his speech and gave them applause. The atmosphere in the Triangle suddenly became heated.

It was the bespectacled man's turn to speak, and Lin Chaoyang knew this time that he was Zou Yujian, the current president of the May Fourth Literary Society.

"Classmate Lin Dongwei, please don't change the concept. The Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award is just a literary award.

The Literature Award Organizing Committee has formulated the award process and rules. This is an established fact. You cannot ask for the rules to be changed just because it does not meet your demands.

This is like going to the cafeteria to get food. The food in the cafeteria is enough for 100 students. It is stipulated that each person can only get one spoonful of rice.

You said you had a big appetite and wanted to take two spoonfuls.

If you take two spoonfuls, then the last student will definitely have no food.

And with your start, others will also want to take a spoonful, and more people may not have enough to eat.

Your appeal seems to take care of individual differences, but in fact it is undermining overall fairness.

If everyone does this, how can there be any order in this society?

in addition--

Zou Yujian looks gentle and easy to bully, but his arguments are clear and logical, and he is no weaker than Lin Dongwei.

It just lacks momentum and lacks the instigating power of Lin Dongwei.

Lin Chaoyang felt that he could not be blamed, mainly because Lin Dongwei was very good at pulling off tiger skins.

Through the debate between the two, Lin Chaoyang also knew that the efficiency of the Literary and Art Association was indeed very high this time.

As soon as the semester started, I contacted Yanda and decided that the May 4th Literary Society, the first society of Yanda with a long history and thousands of members, would be one of the preliminary organizations for the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award.

Originally, things were going very smoothly, but this incident made some literature-loving and maverick students at Yanda feel dissatisfied because they felt they were being ignored.

When these students think about it, why can the May 4th Literary Club take on this important task? Why can’t the club they organized?

To this end, they have been negotiating with the school youth league committee and the May Fourth Literary Society in the past two days.

I heard that Lin Chaoyang appeared at Yanda today. Lin Dongwei and others immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to fight for their own rights, so the scene just happened.

When Lin Dongwei and Zou Yujian were debating, Lin Chaoyang said nothing.

Until more than ten minutes later, Lin Dongwei felt that arguing with Zou Yujian was not the answer. He came to see Lin Chaoyang today. He said to Lin Chaoyang:

"Comrade Chaoyang, you are the promoter and organizer of the awards. You should stand with us enthusiastic readers."

Seeing him like this, Zou Yujian hurriedly wanted to interrupt him, but Lin Chaoyang waved his hand to stop him.

"Classmate Lin, you said that you are enthusiastic readers, which is no problem, but the students who can join the May Fourth Literary Club should also be considered enthusiastic readers, right?"

Lin Dongwei hesitated for a moment and replied: "Of course. The students of the May Fourth Literary Club are just like us, they are enthusiastic readers. What I want to emphasize is that since the organizing committee wants to find a selection organization within YSU, why can't it

Treat everyone equally and include all our societies within the scope?”

Lin Chaoyang was not in a hurry to answer Lin Dongwei's question. His eyes scanned the group of people behind Lin Dongwei before he spoke:

"Are any of you members of the May Fourth Literary Club?"

Among the more than 20 students, four or five raised their hands.

Lin Chaoyang nodded and asked: "Several classmates are members of both the Poetry Club and the May Fourth Literary Club. I want to ask you a question. I remember that the May Fourth Literary Club also has a poetry group. Why do you still want to join?

Where’s the poetry club?”

The few people looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before a tall female student stood up.

"We will also participate in the activities of the May Fourth Literary Club, but because everyone's study schedule is different, sometimes we cannot catch up with the activities of the May Fourth Literary Club.

In addition, sometimes the activities of the May Fourth Literary Club have certain thresholds, and we may not be able to participate.

For example, when I join the Chenxi Poetry Club, as long as I have some time every day, I will invite a few colleagues from work or nearby dormitories to go to the Weiming Lake or the bell pavilion to recite poetry, or we can just chat about some ideas and write something.

Get together and discuss with each other."

After the girl finished speaking, Lin Chaoyang concluded: "So the reason why you joined the poetry club is essentially because the poetry club is a relatively loose and free organization, which makes everyone feel more integrated, or it is easier to interact and communicate with each other.

Bar?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, "That's right."

"I would like to ask again, does the Yanlang Poetry Club recruit members regardless of the department? Or should it be based on which department is the main one? You can also say that your Chenxi Poetry Club." Lin Chaoyang asked again.

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's question, the girl looked a little uneasy. People who can study at Yanda are smart people. She guessed the intention behind Lin Chaoyang's question.

She instinctively glanced around, seemingly seeking help.

Lin Dongwei stood up, "Yanlang Poetry Club accepts membership from all students in the school, but because it was founded in our Spanish Department, most of the members are from the Spanish Department."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Yujian couldn't wait to shout: "Lin Dongwei, how can you have the nerve to say this? Yanlang Poetry Club is obviously your own small group of the Spanish Department. Are there students from other departments in your poetry club?

?」

Zou Yujian's shouting made Lin Dongwei look slightly embarrassed. He defended: "We are just small in scale and not as attractive as your May Fourth Literary Society. There are many people from outside the Chenxi Poetry Society."

"The composition of our May Fourth Literary Club is not as even as that of ours. We have attracted comrades from all over the world, and we are the most representative literary group on the YSU campus."

After Lin Chaoyang asked the question just now, Zou Yujian already understood what he meant.

Therefore, at this moment, he came up with the spirit of "it is better to use the remaining troops to chase the poor bandits" and caught Lin Dongwei's continuous output.

"Does it mean that it can represent everyone if it is large?"

"Does your small size mean that you can represent everyone?"

"I never said that our Yanlang Poetry Society wants to represent everyone, we just seek an equal opportunity."

Zou Yujian was caught by Lin Dongwei's logical loophole in his words. While he was thinking about it, he heard Lin Chaoyang speak again.

"Classmate Lin, everyone understands that it is impossible for every citizen to vote for literary awards, and we can only pursue a relatively fair one.

It cannot be said that if you are qualified to participate in the selection, it is fair. On the contrary, it is unfair."

The debate in the triangle lasted for more than ten minutes, and more and more students gathered around. It seemed that there were already one or two hundred people.

Lin Chaoyang was impatient and stopped being polite, directly revealing the true purpose of Lin Dongwei and others.

Many students looked astonished. Lin Chaoyang's words pointed directly to the essence of the problem, and suddenly clarified the focus of the issue that the two sides had been arguing about before.

Lin Dongwei's face became unsightly, and he said sophistry: "Comrade Chaoyang, I cannot agree with your statement.

Should our pursuit of equal rights be labeled as selfish?”

Lin Chaoyang shook his head and said: "But what you are pursuing is power that does not belong to you. The power of award evaluation is delegated to the organizing committee and the jury, and is delegated to the school. What you are seeking is also a large-scale literary society or group.

support.

If you want to get involved, you can definitely join the May Fourth Literary Society.

If the May Fourth Literary Society doesn't accept you, that's another matter. But your request is based on selfish motives for public benefit, which is inappropriate.

I understand your good intentions in wanting to contribute to the awards, but sometimes good intentions may not necessarily lead to good results.”

From beginning to end, Lin Chaoyang never fell into Lin Dongwei's narrative trap.

No matter what Lin Dongwei said, the actions of this group of people were launched for the purpose of a small group of people.

Rather than being as upright as he said.

Seeing that Lin Dongwei's face became extremely ugly, Lin Chaoyang did not stop. Instead, his voice became clearer, spreading throughout the triangle and reaching the ears of all the students who came to watch the excitement.

"Students, through the debate I just had with classmates Lin and Zou, I have some emotions in my heart.

The following words are meant to be shared with everyone.

You are all students of Yan University, and your intelligence and knowledge reserves are far beyond ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, in another twenty or thirty years, the person who may dominate the future and destiny of this country will be born among you.

This is not my personal idea. This is the common people and the country’s expectations of you. You are the trendsetters who are destined to stir up the storm of the times————

Lin Chaoyang's voice is not as impassioned as Lin Dongwei's, but his words are equally clear, steady and powerful.

As soon as he came up, he elevated the Yan University students present to a lofty position, which immediately made the students feel a little happy and proud.

Since they entered Yanda, whether it is relatives and friends, the general public, or the school government,

My attitude towards them is as warm as spring.

Indeed, as Lin Chaoyang said, many preferential treatments have placed them in the position of pillars of the country. Even the students of Yan University think so.

But after all, Lin Chaoyang is a celebrity and a well-known figure in the Chinese literary world. When these words come out of his mouth, there is an even more proud feeling.

"but--"

Lin Chaoyang's dramatic turns broke the imagination of many students.

His expression was serious and serious, his brows were tight, and his two thick eyebrows seemed to be squeezed together by a pair of invisible hands, forming a deep ravine. The ravine seemed to condense the heaviness and expectations of an era.

There seemed to be two fires burning in his eyes, burning with a mixture of anger and concern.

"But because of this, you must have a clearer understanding, more comprehensive thinking, and more rational judgment about many things.

In the ten years of reform and opening up, we have accepted many foreign things, which may be new trends of thought, new ideas, and new systems.

These things seem to be very good, but you should be wary that there are no perfect things in this world·——·

(The following 1,000 words are omitted, everyone who understands will understand.)

In early spring, a group of students gathered in the Triangle as usual, and everyone was excited. Scenes like this happened almost two or three times a week.

These students may be reciting a few emerging poems, perhaps discussing recent domestic and foreign news, or debating some newly proposed argument or trend of thought.

With these students here, the Triangle will always be the most lively and noisy place in YSU.
