Chapter 26: Changping Garden, Experimental Products, Two Humanities / Shi Yifeng (2) So I decided to sign up and take part in the liberal arts experimental class.The most important reason is that if you are selected by this class, you will not be idle in Changping Garden for a year, but you can go back to the school. Very lucky, I was picked.I don't know what the criteria are for picking me. Compared with my classmates from all over the world, my college entrance examination results are not very good.Many of my classmates scored about 100 points higher than mine. With my grades, I could only go to a junior college in other places.And my classmates have never spoken to me in the tone of treating less advanced students. They are really magnanimous people, and I thank them.Now it's my girlfriend who always talks to me like an imbecile, but I still have to thank her.

In this way, together with a dozen or so male and female students, I boarded an Iveco car and returned to Yanyuan with my own bedding.At that time, I was really happy. Of course, it is a blessing in disguise.There is still one advantage of staying in Changping Garden, that is, young men and women will consciously discover points of interest in each other after staying in a boring environment for a long time.The male and female students in Changping Garden, because of loneliness, quickly made one after another.On the other side of Yanyuan, with broad horizons and many people with mixed eyes, it is often much more difficult to get a girlfriend.So in the first year or so after I went to college, I would angrily think: If I had stayed in Changping Garden back then, I would have lost my virginity long ago.

Later, Changping Garden was abandoned.The reason is that a year later, a girl from Changping Park encountered criminals when she went out.Many students from Changping Garden went to the principal to make trouble, shouting: "Principal, come out!" as if the principal was a criminal.Of course, I think that the headmaster can never commit a crime.I believe that most students also firmly believe this. After Changping Garden was abandoned, everyone came back, only the soul of the murdered girl remained there.Later, Changping was developed into a satellite city of Beijing, where a large residential area was built.Looking down from a height of more than ten floors, there are all buildings without even a tree, which is really a miracle in the history of architecture.At this time, many students had already worked and bought houses in Changping.Studying and starting a business in Changping, they really have a predestined relationship with Changping.

In short, I returned to Yanyuan in this way and became an experimental product. 2 The saying that we are all guinea pigs spread, initially out of modesty.At that time, Peking University's liberal arts experimental class was already very famous. Many people said that this was the best student in literature, history and philosophy. Only with a three-in-one brain could he study the three-in-one course.All of us are still very simple, and we don’t know how to pretend to be grandchildren, so we say, no, no, no, we are not master reserve, we are just some experimental products. According to this statement, the school's decision-making is like a bald scientist in a Hollywood movie, capturing some cute mice and injecting them with inexplicable stimulants.Unfortunately, some mice became defective products, but a certain mouse was lucky enough to mutate into a terrifying monster.Frankenstein exclaimed excitedly: "oh fuck, great!"

Chapter 27: Changping Garden, Experimental Products, Two Humanities / Shi Yifeng (3) Of course our understanding was wrong.Only the brain of a mouse has this kind of conjecture of a mouse.I believe my alma mater is still from a high place. However, the so-called experimental class probably means doing experiments.We are liberal arts students, we have no role to do experiments, only to be experimented by others.This experiment is whether it is possible to train a group of young people to become masters of Chinese studies.At least a few media outlets speculated that way. What's interesting is that not only we are experimental products, but our head teacher should also be an experimental product.My teacher, Niu K, had just graduated with a doctorate and was sent by the school to lead the experimental class.He had never been a teacher before, so even if he was entrusted with the important task, it should be an experiment: to see if a person who has never been a teacher can become a master's teacher.

Teacher Niu K is a rigorous and responsible person.At that time, he wore black-rimmed glasses, had a cropped cut, was a little fat, and smoked a pack of five yuan a pack of cigarettes.He called us into the classroom and seriously told us how to study.It is best to memorize some ancient Chinese, such as "Mencius", it is best to read the original English newspaper, such as "China Daily", it is best to exchange learning experience, life experience, and various experiences with classmates-this is called open. Open means open.To be open means to be loose.I understood this way, and excitedly said to my classmate Brother B: "He let us open!"

Brother B said: "You want to open, who the hell will open with you." Teacher Niu K is a teacher who teaches students in accordance with their aptitude.I have a classmate from Zhejiang, Brother Wang, who is very smart and has the qualities to become a scholar. When Mr. Niu K talks to him, he is always very in-depth, very academic, and sounds very incomprehensible to me.I always think, Mom, where did they get so many new terms, this doctrine, that doctrine, this transformation, that transformation, yuan this, sub that.Later, they talked more deeply, and even used English, and I also learned it well, pretending to understand, nodding and smiling attentively.The two of them speak academic English, and you can nod beside them, which is also a very glorious thing.Fortunately, they didn't say to old Q: You deserve it too.

While talking to me, Mr. Niu K would grab two bottles of beer from under the table, or a bottle of brandy from the back of the refrigerator.He said: I heard that you are very good at drinking.It turned out that Mr. Niu K had already seen that I was a bad pillow that didn't even have embroidery.Teacher Niu K is so insightful.We drank and chatted.I lost control and talked about pornography in three sentences, and he pulled it back seriously.I pull again, he pulls again.After repeating it several times, he didn't bother to talk to me about serious issues. Sometimes I lost my nerve, and even being serious would make him feel misplaced.

When talking to girls, Mr. Niu K is naturally much more kind.In fact, I am also kind, but they don't want to accept my kindness.Later, we thought that Teacher Niu K was a serious person, and many girls thought that Teacher Niu K was a gentleman who cared about others.I also want to be regarded as a gentleman, because it is easier for a gentleman to achieve obscene purposes, and Mr. Niu K is a pure gentleman. Chapter 28: Changping Garden, Experimental Products, Two Humanities / Shi Yifeng (4) Teacher Niu K is still a bookish person.The things he doesn't like must be spoken out loud, and the people he doesn't like must be hummed at him.When he first stayed in school to work, he lived in a small tube building, and he had to run 20 meters to pee and 200 meters to take a shower, but he was still doing research and leading students with great interest.

When he talked about his ideals with his students, he always assumed that others, like him, had the joy of Yanhui, had a rigorous academic attitude, and had a lofty intellectual integrity.It's a pity that the students are not up to date, some just like to be white-collar workers, some just like to be bastards, but Mr. Niu K can't teach students how to be a good white-collar worker, how to be a good bastard. I know that I can't do a good job like Mr. Niu K, but I also understand, don't be too bad as a person, and become the opposite of Mr. Niu K. They all want to kill themselves.This self-requirement is probably also a lesson learned from Mr. Niu K.

Teacher Niu K is still a very interesting person.What's interesting about him is that such a rigorous and bookish person will always reveal a little bit of life and fireworks.This contrast makes people feel that he is intentionally funny.He later became obsessed with taking a sauna, and invited me to go with Brother Wang.Three white fat men, like three sections of pork ready to be squeezed for oil, two talking about academics, and one pretending to understand.When entering the bathing center, Mr. Niu K emphasized: Let's go wash a clean mulberry.I pretended to be garlic and said: Is there any unclean mulberry?Brother Wang secretly said to me: A unclean mulberry is a mulberry with pornographic services.As soon as he got on, I hahaha and insisted: You have washed it!You washed it! Later, Mr. Niu K moved to a decent house.He really loves this house and wipes the floor every day.The floor of their house is so shiny that I can't even lick it. Later, Mr. Niu K became obsessed with fitness.He goes to the gym every day to run several kilometers.Once, he said triumphantly that when he was taking a taxi, the taxi driver suddenly asked: Are you into sports?Why?This body! He kept repeating the words "this body".In such a boring place in the gym, he can find fun, and he can really relieve himself. Compared to Mr. Niu K who is a good teacher, I am also a good student.This is not to say that I have learned the teacher's knowledge and behavior, but I have not learned any shit.But at all stages of school and work, I will be like kindergarten children, adore my teachers thoroughly, and dream of becoming like them. Teacher Niu K is the kind of teacher I "dream to be". 3 The process of being an experimental product was quite difficult at the beginning.There are many courses, and it is quite tiring after a day.Everyone was inspired by Teacher Niu K, and insisted on attending classes and studying.But later, many people also thought about it.Didn’t Mr. Niu K say that self-will is true? Let’s start from this point first, so those who love to play start to play crazily. Chapter 29: Changping Garden, Experimental Products, Two Humanities / Shi Yifeng (5) No one can play without Brother B. After Brother B played, he came up with a title called "Ghost of Entertainment". Brother B is over 1.8 meters tall, very thin, from Henan, but another fellow of theirs calls him a Somali because he is too thin.Why is it called Brother B?Maybe it's the name of a person in the movie Bewitching Boy, this nickname has continued to this day. It seems that since the sophomore year, I haven't seen Brother B take any classes.At the beginning, he always went to the video hall to watch videos with another classmate from Hunan, and there were several videos in one night in Hong Kong.After all, he has seen all those movies, but he still wants to watch them.Seeing that the students in Hunan couldn't stand it anymore, they decided to go back to study, and Brother B continued to go.This hobby was not terminated until the video hall was demolished. Then Brother B started playing basketball.It must be admitted that his basketball posture is the ugliest, but his playing is the best.I also like to play basketball, but the kids in Beijing have a problem with playing basketball, that is, they are put on airs and have no actual combat effect.Unlike Brother B, playing is like plowing the field, but it is very practical, and he always scores the most points every time.At one point, I ran and practiced every day just to compete with Brother B for the star status, but of course I ended up failing. At the same time as basketball, Brother B luckily got into playing computer games.At that time, Internet cafes were still a new thing, and Brother B was in them, playing from StarCraft to Cs.As soon as he sits on it, he can play for hours, ten hours.The most time I played was 23 hours.At the end of the game, I vomited directly in front of the computer, and quickly used a plastic bag to catch it, and continued to play. For a long time, my life was like this.Get up at ten o'clock in the morning, pat on the door of Brother B's dormitory: Brother B is in class!No one answered, but I knew he was still alive, so I went to class first, came back at twelve, and knocked on the door again: Brother B has eaten! Brother B followed me to the cafeteria, and forever burned two steamed buns with eggplant, fish-flavored shredded pork.After dinner, we smoked a cigarette, talked nonsense, and then went to play basketball until five o'clock in the afternoon, and our legs were about to cramp.After dinner, I went to self-study, and he went to play games. I came back at ten o'clock in the evening, but he hadn't come back yet.At one o'clock, I finally came back, we went out to drink beer together, then I went to bed, and he continued to play cards in the corridor.At ten o'clock the next morning, I went to knock on the door again: Brother B is in class! I don’t know how Brother B graduated. One time he was taking an exam on Chinese philosophy. Before the exam, he also held a book and read it frantically. I said: You also have time to study.He said: nice.When I saw it, it turned out to be a popular work on astronomy.When the exam was due the next day, he decided to stay up late, drink coffee, and slurp it in a big enamel cup.It was a long night, but I couldn't sleep at all, and it lasted until noon the next day. I couldn't hold on anymore, fainted, and missed the exam.He said to the teacher: I have slept, what a pity.The teacher said: I will give you another chance.He didn't sleep this time, but during the exam, he forgot the location again.By the time I arrived at the exam room, the exam was almost over. Chapter 30: Changping Garden, Experimental Products, Two Humanities / Shi Yifeng (6) But Brother B is still a well-deserved Peking University student.In my opinion, he is more well-deserved than many alumni who wear strict suits and yearn for a "noble" lifestyle.He can remain unmoved by material things, money, and mainstream values, and concentrate on doing what he thinks is meaningful.When everyone is reading, it is because reading is linked to test scores. At that time, Brother B must read the least. But after work, many people have degenerated into white-collar workers sitting in front of the computer. No one wants to read humanities and social sciences. I have read the books, but Brother B is still reading with great interest.The current Brother B still plays basketball when he wants to play basketball, plays mahjong when he wants to play mahjong, and creates when he wants to create.In the past, this was just a way of life, but in today's view, it is a rare character. I entered Peking University in 1998. At that time, I was still a young man without a car or a Swiss watch. I liked playing basketball and drinking Coca-Cola.To this day, I still recall the first few days when I entered school, and I often chatted with Mr. Niu K, and often fooled around with Brother B.Thinking about those times, being with friends I already knew well, I always feel that being a stunned young man is a very beautiful thing.Lengtouqing is always young. Although I am not old yet, I am already afraid of getting old. Shi Yifeng, born in Beijing in 1979, was admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University in 1998 and graduated with a master's degree from the Chinese Department of Peking University in 2005. He is currently the editor of "Contemporary" magazine.Author of the novel "Old Time in B Minor".
