Chapter 228: Chapter 0228: Students’ Awareness [Part 1]

Han Chunsheng chuckled lightly and said slowly, "I just want to say that if we have to prepare, it’s actually quite easy to prepare. We don’t need to search aimlessly, considering their choice over these years. Nothing more than poetry, books, etiquette, guqin, chess, painting, martial arts, tea ceremony, and other Huaxia traditions that are known worldwide. As for anything too esoteric, they definitely won’t go there."

"So, if we have to prepare, we just need to prepare in these areas. Moreover, they have two items that are almost always unchanged every year. One is martial arts and the other is chess. Korea’s chess and the Eastern martial arts, although both originated from Huaxia, have shown signs of surpassing in recent years. So I believe these two will still be there this year. As for the remaining three, I think guqin and tea ceremony will definitely be there, as for the last one, I don’t know. But if we can win three out of the four, it doesn’t matter what the last one is."

Han Chunsheng, truly having the talent of a prime minister, had already basically judged the content of several years’ preparation by watching videos, preventing everyone from preparing blindly like headless flies.

Chu Feng said, "Alright, now that everyone knows the content of the assessment, let everyone state their choices. I’ll take care of the martial arts part, who will handle the tea, guqin, and chess?"

Han Chunsheng said, "I’ll take chess."

Chu Feng nodded and replied, "No problem."

Chu Feng asked, "Who will take the remaining two, one for tea and one for guqin?"

"Let Mo Yanfang handle the tea; we’ve all tasted the Kung Fu Tea she brews, and it’s fantastic," Xue Yafang suggested.

Chu Feng turned to Mo Yanfang and asked, "Any problem?"

Mo Yanfang hesitated, clearly not very confident in herself. After all, this was an international exchange, and although not a formal competition, she believed that the opponents would definitely send elites.

Chu Feng reassured her, "We all believe in you, just do your best. Besides, as long as we win three out of the four, you don’t need to feel any pressure."

Mo Yanfang nodded and replied, "Alright! I’ll participate."

Chu Feng stated, "Now we just have the guqin left, does anyone have an interest in it?"

However, that guqin really stumped everyone; ancient Huaxia culture’s guqin is, of course, not a piano but a genuine seven-stringed zither.

It could be said that many people in piano classes were forced by their parents to learn at a young age, but only a few knew how to play the seven-stringed zither.

"Can I take it?" Tie Mu suddenly asked a bit sheepishly, raising his hand.

Seeing Tie Mu, the burly fellow, stand up, the whole class was somewhat surprised.

Because it was indeed hard to associate Tie Mu, a large and burly guy, with those graceful and poetic arts.

Tie Mu said, "I’ve been forced by my father to practice the guqin since I was little, and I haven’t stopped even now."

With that said, Chu Feng remembered that when Tie Mu came to school, he seemed to be indeed carrying something that looked like a zither, although Chu Feng had never really noticed it before.

"The guqin music coming from the rooftop every night, it was you playing," Qi Houbo suddenly realized, also surprised.

Tie Mu was a bit embarrassed and replied, "Yes, that’s me. I was afraid of disturbing you in the dorm, so I could only go up to the rooftop."

Of course, Tie Mu wasn’t worried about disturbing Chu Feng; he was just embarrassed to be ridiculed by others.

Now that Qi Houbo had spoken up, Chu Feng also recalled that every night Tie Mu would disappear for a while, and then guqin music would follow. Chu Feng hadn’t paid attention to it previously, but with Qi Houbo mentioning it now, he hadn’t expected that Tie Mu, a burly fellow, could have such a delicate side to him.

Chu Feng decided, "Alright, then you will handle the guqin."

Chu Feng paused, then added, "Alright, since we have decided on four people, let’s wait until tomorrow when they present the fifth topic."

"I yearn for victory, and I also hope we can win. Using ’to glorify the country’ here might seem a bit trite, but I want everyone to understand that what we are doing now is also for the glory of the country. A strong youth makes a strong country, and I believe everyone understands this principle. So next week, let those who have forgotten their roots recognize their lineage and see what true Huaxia culture is!"

"Alright!"

After Chu Feng finished, everyone was emotionally charged.

Once the matter was settled, Chu Feng called Xie Mengying.

Xie Mengying, upon hearing that Chu Feng and his team had even analyzed the competition items, was somewhat surprised.

Because this analysis matched the competition items that Xie Mengying had received exactly.

"What’s the fifth problem they presented?" Chu Feng asked.

Mentioning this, Xie Mengying was also a bit irritated and replied, "They said this time there’s no need for a fifth problem unless we can win two rounds."

After hearing Xie Mengying’s words, Chu Feng was also annoyed and scoffed, "Well then, if they’re not setting a problem, I’ll make sure they don’t even get the chance to do so."

On Monday, because of the International Exchange Group’s arrival, the school was also decked out in bright decorations.

However, contrary to the festive decorations, all the teachers’ moods were downcast.

When they learned that Chu Feng had chosen all the participants from his own class, they were completely disheartened.

In the past five years, each time they had assembled all the elites from second to fourth year, and still lost the competition. Chu Feng’s casual selection of four people from his own class seemed like child’s play.

Although they didn’t voice it, in their hearts they all thought that He Zhen had made a muddle-headed decision this time, and that this might be his Waterloo.

Regardless of winning or losing, the reception duties still had to be well managed.

And it was this reception duty that was giving Li Dongsheng a major headache.

Because some teachers reported to Li Dongsheng that Chu Feng refused to lead his class to the main entrance to welcome them, only agreeing to greet them at the East River Hotel where they were staying.

The usual practice had been to greet at the school’s main gate to show respect and welcome.

But now that Chu Feng refused, Li Dongsheng had no choice.

After much thought, Li Dongsheng decided to call He Zhen, hoping He Zhen could persuade Chu Feng.

As soon as the call connected, He Zhen asked, "Dongsheng, do you have anything to discuss today, or is it about the international exchange?"

Li Dongsheng replied, "Yes, teacher, normally, we should go to the school gate to welcome them. But Chu Feng insists on not taking the students to the gate."

He Zhen asked, "What did Chu Feng say?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dongsheng’s spirits lifted, and he quickly replied, "Chu Feng said they are here to learn, and since they are coming to learn, they should understand who the students are and who the teachers are. Where do you see teachers welcoming students?"

Thud!
