A long poem in ancient style titled "Standing at the Gate of Huanghuagang Cemetery" was rated as "the best full-score composition" by the marking teacher in this year's Chinese language college entrance examination in Hubei Province. On the evening of the 24th, the author of the article It finally emerged that he was Zhou Haiyang, a student from the No. 2 Middle School in Hannan District, Wuhan City. That night, the reporter interviewed Zhou Haiyang in a private house on Hannan Avenue. What the reporter did not expect was that he would not be full for another two months. At the age of 19, he is eloquent and eloquent. He has a lot of literary and historical knowledge that he has accumulated very deeply. However, he is very modest about this "best essay", saying that it is just "a flower in the long river of his life". "It's just waves".
"I didn't feel anything special at the time, but I believe it will be a perfect essay." Speaking of his essay, Zhou Haiyang, who has a crew cut and a simple look on his face, expressed Very confident. He does not think his article is "the best". He said that this article is based on the college entrance examination essay of a Sichuan candidate in 2005. That student is considered "super awesome".
I have never been to Huanghuagang"
At the beginning of "Standing at the Gate of Huanghuagang Cemetery", Zhou Haiyang introduced the writing background of the poem in more than 170 words in classical Chinese: "Ninety-seven years After that, it was the twelfth lunar month and there was heavy snowfall. I stayed in Guangzhou and then went to the Mausoleum of the Seventy-two Martyrs in Huanghuagang. When I stopped at the gate, I felt all sorts of emotions and composed a poem." Such a narrative allows readers to be immersed in the scene. , but what is surprising is that the author himself has not actually been to Huanghuagang, Guangzhou.
Zhou Haiyang told reporters that he has actually only been to Wuchang Shouyi Garden, but for Huanghuagang, he has learned about it through the Internet and movies He was already very familiar with the information in it. He even said casually that Huanghuagang was located at the foothills of Baiyun Mountain. It was originally called Honghuagang. It was renamed "Huanghuagang" because the yellow flowers had more meaning as a memorial. "This way of writing can be said to be like Su Shi's." "Let's go to the homeland!" he said excitedly, and began to recite Huang Xing's famous couplet: "Seventy-two athletes, fighting vigorously in the spring clouds and clear blue blood/Four hundred trillion sons of the country, watching the autumn rain wet the yellow flowers."
"I have the strength myself"
The full text of "Standing at the Gate of Huanghuagang Cemetery" has more than a thousand words, most of which are written in seven-character rhymes. Has the author already written and memorized it? Okay, and then apply it directly in the examination room? This has become the speculation of many netizens. Zhou Haiyang responded calmly that he wrote this article in the examination room, "I have the ability myself, so I don't worry about not being able to finish it."
Zhou Haiyang recalled that during the Chinese language test, he answered the questions in order because he had already reviewed the classical Chinese text of the reading question, so he completed it in almost no time. When it was time to write the essay, he looked at the time. There were less than 85 minutes left, but the title "Standing at the Door" triggered his thoughts: "I thought about standing at the door of the Hongmen Banquet and Fan Kuai rushing into the tent; I thought about standing at the blasted late Qing government At the gate of the Three Gorges Dam, I saw the motherland in decline; I thought about standing at the gate of the Three Gorges Dam, and I also thought about standing at the gate of the college entrance examination. But in the end, I chose to stand at the gate of history, but the whole history is too grand. , I couldn’t grasp it, so I chose a small incision, but I did not limit myself to Huanghuagang, but made some extensions in the article.”
After writing this article, it is still far from the end of the exam. For two or three minutes, Zhou Haiyang was reminded by the invigilator that he had not filled out the answer sheet. He was very confident about this essay: "My essay level should be considered relatively good in the whole district. I think it should be A perfect essay.”
“A bright spot is better than mediocrity”
When he first met the reporter, Zhou Haiyang couldn’t wait to start chatting. He said that his article In fact, I was influenced by the 2005 Sichuan college entrance examination essay "Forever Tan Sitong". If my essay is considered the "most awesome", that one should be the "super awesome".
"This article It can be called my "origin"." Zhou Haiyang admired this composition very much. He did not know the author, but he already regarded the author as his idol. "Due to time constraints, there are still some mediocre poems in my poems. , rhyme issues, and some sentences are still very green. Compared with that article, my article is nothing."
Because his "idol" has achieved success, Zhou Haiyang I am also full of confidence in this way of writing ancient prose and poetry. "It just so happened that there was no restriction on poetry in the college entrance examination, so I gave it a try. I just wanted to write the composition well. Others have achieved success before, and there is a precedent. I That's okay. The marking teacher also likes highlights, and highlights are better than mediocrity."
