Chapter 93 Contemporary Chen Shimei

In the past month since the start of school, Li Changhe has witnessed the diligence and eagerness to learn of the Class of 77.

For them, there is a loud learning slogan, which is "take back the lost time"

But in addition to the inexhaustible enthusiasm for learning, there is also the irrepressible passionate emotions.

A large number of students from the class of 77 were educated youth who went to the countryside and stayed there for five or six years or even longer.

People like Haiwen and Lao Tao have been living in the countryside for almost ten years.

I spent so many years of my youth in the countryside, refusing to get married, and took the college entrance examination just to return to the city.

And now that I have finally returned to the city and been admitted to university, some other emotions in my heart naturally burst out.

In such a large university, almost all of them are of the opposite sex of the right age, and being admitted to university also means that they have a common identity, the country's quasi-cadre group, which can be said to be the most suitable emotional object.

As a result, many young men and women who were held back by their age soon got together.

Even though Li Changhe's Economics Department was small, there were less than ten girls in total, and there was a married girl like He Jian.

In this situation, they became two pairs.

That's fine, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, everyone understands.

The most speechless thing is that many of my male classmates have families or fiancées, but after coming to university, they still become distracted.

The first thing one does when arriving ashore is to kill the person one loves with a sword. This is not a phenomenon that only happened in later generations.

A piece of gossip that was making the rounds in school a while ago was that a boy from the philosophy department wrote a letter to his wife in the rural area asking for a divorce less than half a month after he enrolled.

Then his wife got a letter of introduction and came to Peking University in Beijing to visit him, and made a big fuss.

As a result, more and more similar gossips were exposed.

Many of my classmates, both male and female, wrote letters asking for divorce.

This is just Peking University. It is said that this situation is also quite common at Tsinghua University next door at Wudaokou.

This is also the reason why Liu Wei and others sighed.

In the future, this situation will only get worse, so much so that "People's Literature" even published a novel "The Cuckoo Returns Crying" to satirize this contemporary Chen Shimei phenomenon.

When I walked out of the classroom and came outside, as expected, two girls were standing at the door.

Li Changhe knew them. One was Wang Xiaoping and the other was Zhang Yunlan. Both were freshmen in the Chinese Department.

Wang Xiaoping was already a well-known writer before she entered school. She will become a screenwriter in the future. She has a husband named Zheng Xiaolong, who will be a big shot in the Beijing circle in the future. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was filmed by the couple.

As for Zhang Yunlan, Li Changhe didn't have much impression of her and didn't know whether she would become a celebrity in the future.

But now, Li Changhe is quite familiar with her, because this is the third time she has come to submit a manuscript.

The girl is pretty and not very old. It is said that she took the college entrance examination within two years of going to the countryside, and now she is less than 20 years old.

"Changhe, I went back and revised it based on your suggestions last time. Can you help me take a look at it again?"

Seeing Li Changhe coming out, Zhang Yunlan handed a manuscript in her hand to Li Changhe and said.

Li Changhe nodded: "Okay, no problem, but I'm a little busy recently, so the time may be delayed. Is that okay?"

"It's okay. Just tell me when you're ready."

Zhang Yunlan waved her hand and spoke softly.

"By the way, Changhe, Chen Jiangong said that our Chinese Department will hold a literary gathering at Shangshifang by Weiming Lake this weekend, and he asked me to invite you to go too."

Wang Xiaoping on the side also spoke to Li Changhe at this time.

Li Changhe thought for a moment, then said, "I can't promise you now. I can only say that we'll see when the time comes. Our Economics Department is not as idle as your Chinese Department."

He actually didn't really want to go, and he didn't have such a high belief in literature.

But unfortunately, his aura as a writer is too strong. In the past month since the start of school, the people who have come to visit him most are not his classmates from the Economics Department, but his classmates from the Chinese Department.

Starting with Chen Jiangong, many people came here because of his reputation, and then had a chat with Li Changhe. They also often called him when there were any activities in the Chinese Department.

At first, Li Changhe went there a few times out of courtesy, but later he found that a group of people there were just reciting poems or reading some manuscripts, so he was not very interested.

"Look at you, it would be great if you could apply for the Chinese Department, but why do you not want to study economics?" Wang Xiaoping spoke frankly after hearing Li Changhe's answer.

It’s not that she looks down on the economics department, but in this era, economics is not a popular major. On the contrary, it is a very unpopular major.

In this day and age, the popularity ranking of majors is as follows.

“Literature, History, Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law”

No matter which school, the Chinese Department is undoubtedly the most popular major, and the admission score is also the highest.

For students with high scores, their first choice is always the Chinese Department, which is a typical red and specialized major.

The next best options are history and philosophy, which are the second-best majors if you can’t get into the Chinese department.

Li Changhe's Economics Department is ranked only above the Law Department, making it the second-to-last unpopular department.

In addition to the admission scores, we can also see from the majors that this year, Li Changhe and his classmates' Economics Department only offered one major, Political Economy, while the Chinese Department offered three majors at once.

They are literature, journalism, and classical literature.

The requirements for the journalism major are the same as those for the law department, and only top-secret political review is required for entry.

Liu Xuehong, the Beijing candidate whose composition was published in People's Daily like Li Changhe, studied journalism at the Chinese Department of Peking University.

So nowadays on the Peking University campus, the most active students are those from the Chinese Department.

This is especially true for students majoring in literature and journalism, many of whom were already well-known writers before entering university, or were destined to become reporters for major newspapers in the future.

These people are now the princes among the school's own sons. There are several first-class professors in the college alone, including the famous Ji Xianlin, Zhu Guangqian, Wei Jiangong and others.

Therefore, people in the Chinese department not only often organize literary gatherings, but can also apply for funding from the school.

At least one-third of the time every month in the dining hall is used by the Department of Literature for various literary clubs.

Many Chinese department students racked their brains to understand why Li Changhe, with such high scores, chose to apply to the Economics Department.

Well, it is no longer a secret that Li Changhe is the top scorer in the liberal arts in the Beijing college entrance examination.

Li Changhe did not respond to Wang Xiaoping's words, but smiled and said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. I will tell you after I finish reading it."

"Okay, don't forget the party this weekend, by the Weiming Lake."

Wang Xiaoping gave Li Changhe some more instructions. Li Changhe waved his hand and returned to the classroom.

After Li Changhe sat down, Liu Wei behind him smiled and said, "Changhe, let's go with the girl from the Chinese department."

"This is the third time I've sent you a manuscript."

"Li Changhe, you're not pretending to be confused, are you?"

He Jian stared at Li Changhe at this time and asked with a smile.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Why should I pretend to be confused? They didn't say it clearly. They just sent me the manuscripts several times and asked me to help review them."

"Can I open my mouth and say to others, I'm sorry I'm married, please show your manuscript to others!"

"Do you think this is narcissistic or embarrassing? What if they really just want me to look at the manuscript?"

Li Changhe was also somewhat helpless. Regardless of whether it was "she likes me", one of the three major illusions, it was indeed difficult to deal with the other party's behavior.

The girl didn't say anything clearly, she just asked Li Changhe to help review the manuscript, and didn't say anything else.

But on the other hand, such a targeted action obviously means something, and Li Changhe himself cannot play dumb.

"Changhe, you can't do this. If you continue like this, rumors will spread, which will not be good for you."

Haiwen kindly reminded that some people in the school are keen on eating melons.

Li Changhe is a celebrity, and his every move is watched by people. Over time, rumors are inevitable.

Li Changhe smiled, looked at the test paper on the table, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."
