Chapter 852 Exam Completed
There's nothing wrong with four expressionless teachers standing on the podium, but what the hell is going on with just a table under the podium?

When Han Li was standing at the door wondering if he had read the examination room number wrong, one of the four teachers spoke.

"Your name is Han Li, right?"

"Yes, teacher, how do you know me?"

"That's right. You are the only one in the entire Foreign Languages ​​Department of Yanda who has applied for the postgraduate entrance examination. For this reason, the school has exempted you from the preliminary examination. Do you think you are surprised? Well, don't stand at the door. Come in and prepare for the exam."

[Because this postgraduate entrance examination adopts two lines, the preliminary examination and the re-examination, the preliminary examination time of Yanda is in early May, and the preliminary examination time of other schools is different. Candidates can only continue to participate in the re-examination if their scores in the preliminary examination reach a certain level. Therefore, all the candidates who can take the exam today are those who have met the requirements after the preliminary examination. Only by passing today's re-examination can you become a postgraduate student. ]

"Teacher, am I the only one in this examination room?"

"You are the only one from the Foreign Languages ​​Department of Yanda who signed up for the postgraduate entrance examination this year. The examination papers of different departments are also different and cannot be taken together. So you are the only one in this examination room. Is this okay?"

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was confused by the setup of the three-court trial at first and didn't expect it to be this question. However, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief too early.

After the test papers were distributed, these four teachers had nothing to do, so they moved their stools and sat around Han Li to watch him answer the questions. These four people were almost one person in each direction.

It was normal for examinees to be stared at by invigilators, but the way they were acting now didn't look like invigilators at all. Instead, they looked like prison guards guarding prisoners. Moreover, Han Li was enjoying the treatment of guarding extremely vicious and serious criminals.

This situation made Han Li's eyes twitch for a while, but he could only helplessly review the questions while complaining about these useless teachers in his heart.

Han Li didn’t know the order and questions of the postgraduate entrance examinations in other subjects, but the first test paper in front of him was Chinese.

The main question requires candidates to translate "Encouraging Learning" by Xunzi, a thinker and writer in the Warring States Period, from classical Chinese into modern Chinese.

A gentleman says: "You should never stop learning. Blue is derived from indigo, but it is bluer than indigo. Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water. A piece of wood is straight as a rope."

A gentleman is well-read and examines himself every day, so he will be wise and will not make mistakes.

If you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't stand by a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is.
Han Li read it once, thought for a moment and then started answering the questions. This kind of ancient Chinese translation might be a little difficult for people of their generation, but it was definitely not too difficult for someone like Han Li who liked reading books.

What's more, Han Li and He Mi don't just play physical games like "The Sun Sets Behind the Mountain" when they are together. They often get together to chat and talk about the past and present.

He Mi is not just a vase with good looks, good figure and vagina, nor is she only good at making cloth, tailoring and playing the piano.

What she excels at is understanding various classical literary classics, and she can quote many allusions at will. Under her influence, Han Li's understanding of ancient Chinese is also improving day by day.

Therefore, translating ancient Chinese texts was not difficult for Han Li. The difficulty was to ensure that he finished answering the questions within the specified time, and to ensure the accuracy, neat and orderly writing format, clean and beautiful font, and neatness of the paper.

It may not sound like a big deal, but the original text of Xunzi's "Encouragement to Study" has nearly two thousand words. If you want to translate it into easy-to-understand modern Chinese, this number must be multiplied several times, and you also have to ensure the time, format, and font. The difficulty increases several times.

When Han Li finished translating and checked, he found that he had filled twelve whole pages of paper just translating the "Encouraging Learning".

When they returned home from the examination room, Yun Yingying, He Mi and others went home early under the pretext of going to the library to read, and the meal was already prepared.

The second exam in the afternoon was on political theory. The question with the highest score was "The New Long March", and the others were on political textbook knowledge as well as current policies and news.

This exam was not too difficult for Han Li, thanks to the public class notes that Yun Yingying and the others brought back for him, as well as the news and instructions he copied from the bulletin board every day. Even so, Han Li filled six pages of paper.

The next morning, he took the English test, which was very easy for Han Li. The highest score on the test paper was translating a passage from Shakespeare's Macbeth. Han Li was not a problem in listening and speaking. During the test, he even discussed the pronunciation of American English and British English with the teacher.

The afternoon exam was about history. Well, there were a lot of comprehensive history questions on the paper. The main requirement was that the candidates had a broad range of knowledge. You were not required to delve too deeply into the issues, but you had to know what was going on.

When Han Li walked out of the examination room today, he found out that candidates from most departments had already finished their exams. Some departments even only took three subjects. They had finished the postgraduate entrance examination this morning.

Han Li thought about himself, a candidate for the Foreign Languages ​​Department, and he had to take two more exams tomorrow. What was this? The key point was that he had no reason to explain this matter.

Han Li looked at his classmates who were celebrating and discussing the postgraduate entrance examination papers. Then he remembered that he had not taken part in the preliminary examination. He suddenly felt a lot more balanced and went home humming a little tune while swinging his long legs.

The third day's morning test was mathematics. The difficulty of this test was at least two times higher than that of the college entrance examination. Han Li estimated that he would be good if he could get 60 points, which was the passing score.

In the afternoon, which was also Han Li's last postgraduate entrance examination, he took the comprehensive paper of Chinese history D.

This core idea must be maintained. Praise where praise is due and criticize where criticism is due.

The specific exam questions are omitted, but Han Li filled all nine pages of the exam.

When Han Li walked out of the examination room this time, he saw in the distance that not only Yun Yingying, He Mi, Hou Yuhua and others had arrived, but also Principal Wen, Teacher Zhang, and Teacher Niu had arrived as well.

Han Li took two quick steps forward to greet everyone. After some congratulations, humility and courtesy, with the help of Teacher Zhang, Han Li treated Principal Wen and Teacher Niu to a meal.
-
Han Li and other people who had taken the postgraduate entrance examination basically entered a semi-free-range state. Ninety percent of them still chose to continue to stay in the library, six or seven percent chose to go home, and three or four percent chose to socialize and drag like-minded people with whom they had good relationships to visit the country's imperial capital.

Han Li knew that if he received another admission letter, he would have to leave his current class and separate from his classmates.

Although everyone is busy during this period, we are still classmates after all. It is time to get together now to deepen our relationship. The next time may be in the years to come.

So the next day, Han Li, using his status as class monitor, went to the class and said that he wanted to organize everyone to go out and play on Sunday.

The students in the class also knew that if Han Li was admitted to graduate school this time, their relationship as classmates would come to an end, so when he brought up this matter and asked for everyone's opinions.

The students in the class expressed where they wanted to go first. Some said the Forbidden City, some said the Summer Palace, but in the end they decided on the Badaling Great Wall as their destination.

Because a classmate said a line from the teacher's poem "Qing Ping Le Liupan Mountain": He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man.

So everyone unanimously decided to climb the Great Wall and experience what the teacher felt at that time.

After the location was decided, the others continued to concentrate on their studies, while Han Li returned to his home in Tiger Cave and became a idler.

However, before Han Li became a lazy person, he called his mother and reported his postgraduate entrance examination results. He also mentioned that he would go to climb the Great Wall with his classmates this Sunday and wanted to see if any of his sisters wanted to go with them.

At the same time, Guan Lao, who lived with Liu Lao, also learned the news that Han Li had finished the exam, and was talking about it at Liu Lao's house.

"Old Liu, you didn't tell me when Han Li came last time. Now Han Li has finished his exams. When do you think we should invite him over for dinner?"

"No, you have to focus on studying after the exam. Frequently calling Han Li over will disrupt his study pace."

"I say, Liu Laojian, you are wrong to say that. Only by relaxing properly can you learn better. If I didn't want to surpass you, I would have asked Ji Aiguo to invite Han Li a long time ago."
