Bai Yizhong was so excited that he ran onto the stage and started reciting poetry wildly.
The east wind at night blows, scattering blossoms from a thousand trees, and scattering stars like rain...
Sitting on the stage representing Huayu, Zhao Anqi's face turned deathly pale. She had never imagined that Chen Feng was so amazing that he could write such a famous line.
Chen Feng's actions shocked the entire country and even Chinese people around the world.
This poem spread throughout China at an unimaginable speed, recited by adults and children alike, and even became a declaration of love for countless couples.
A poem resonated with the audience for half an hour, far exceeding the program's time requirement; they had originally planned for the entire program to be only two hours long.
But now, half an hour has been spent on just one poem, which has shocked everyone and made it impossible for them to recover.
At this moment, the four elders, Yu, Ren, Yuan, and Liu, were pale and dejected.
When the host, Sa Beining, asked them to recite their poems, the four elders looked ashen-faced. How could they not know that compared to Chen Feng's "Qing Yu An," their poems were nothing but a pile of shit?
It is truly tragic and heartbreaking that after studying poetry for half their lives, they are not as accomplished as a young man.
Of course, based on their previous relationship with Chen Feng and their bets, it could also be considered a disgrace and shame.
But they've already made tough statements, made bets, and even had witnesses. Besides, they've done it all in front of everyone; they have to save face.
Rather than fleeing without a fight, they chose to fight.
With permission, the poems of the four elders were slowly displayed on the big screen.
The Rest of My Life
(Firecrackers crackle and fall to the ground, turning the ground red)
(Laughter and cheerful voices carried on the cold wind)
(Spring comes, autumn goes, winter sleeps)
(From a sheet of ice and snow to a jade child)
When this poem was published, no one criticized it as poorly written. However, compared to the brilliant and unparalleled "Qing Yu An," this poem seemed rather mediocre.
But if we disregard Chen Feng's perspective, being given a topic on the spot and then writing such a poem within ten minutes is also quite good.
Thus, amidst the red-faced embarrassment of the four elders, the next round began.
In the second round of the poetry competition, they were determined to redeem themselves.
"Chen Feng, your 'Green Jade Table' is a masterpiece for all time, and we are all inferior to it. But there are three more poems, and I don't believe you can make every single one as amazing as 'Green Jade Table'."
The four elders were clearly convinced by Qingyu'an, but not by Chen Feng personally.
Seeing the old man's chest heaving with anger, as if he were about to pass away, he didn't say anything to provoke him, but just smiled.
Under Sabinen's direction, the second theme of the poetry gradually emerged.
"Affection!"
This is a single character, representing the requirement that the content of this poem be broad, but the central theme is emotion, whether it be friendship, love, or family affection.
"Alright, now that our topic has been presented, please prepare to answer."
After Sabinin spoke, the four elders began to discuss incessantly. This time, their expressions were extremely solemn, no longer as casual as before.
On the other hand, Chen Feng remained sitting there motionless. Everyone thought, "Good heavens, he's started sleeping again."
But this time, no one said anything to him; instead, it caused a great deal of shock.
"Look everyone, I, Fengshen, am at it again! I could never learn that kind of show-off I did before."
"I used to think that it was disrespectful and impolite for the wind god to sleep, but now I know that it's not like that at all. He was just writing poetry in his dream."
"I'm dying of laughter. Fengshen's is hilarious. I'm so curious about how his brain works. He's amazing."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I love poems about relationships and emotions the most. I hope that this time, Fengshen can write a love poem. I want the absolutely beautiful one."
The audience was buzzing with discussion.
Bai Yizhong, Li Siye, and others were also looking forward to it.
The story of "Green Jade Case" has become a viral sensation online, and the Education Bureau immediately stepped in to include it in textbooks.
Time ticked by, and soon the four elders began to write, which drew the attention of many people. Although Chen Feng was not sleeping, he showed no sign of starting to write.
Writing about love?
Chen Feng thought about it for a while. This thing involved too much, and he had too many things on his mind. He didn't know what to choose.
But there's no doubt that whatever choice you make will shock the world.
There are so many people in that world, such as Tsangyang Gyatso, Li Qingzhao, Li Shangyin, Nalan Xingde, and so on.
Whether you see me or not, I am right here. How can one have it all? To be true to both Buddha and love. A frown that rises to the brow but falls to the heart.
After a while, he thought about the poem he had written before, so he decided to write a seven-character poem instead.
Whose murmur should he write? In the end, he chose a seven-character poem.
At this moment, the four elders had also finished writing their poems, and they looked radiant, seemingly very confident in their poems.
"Good, now our four elders have finished writing. They truly deserve to have been deeply involved in poetry and literature for many years."
As Sabining spoke, he looked at Chen Feng, who had not yet written anything, but there was no longer any contempt in his eyes.
Instead, she looked at Chen Feng very cautiously and asked, "Mr. Chen, how are your preparations going?"
Chen Feng smiled as he looked at Sabining's cautious tone.
"I presented it first before, so let them present it first this time."
Upon hearing this, Sabinen paused for a moment, then realized it made sense.
"Alright, Mr. Chen, you think about it first."
After finishing speaking, he stood directly in front of the stage, confirmed with the four elders, and began to address the audience:
"Hello everyone, we are almost finished with the second round of poetry recitation. This time, the first to finish is still our representatives from Huayu, the four elders Yu, Ren, Yuan, and Liu."
"Given that our representative, Mr. Chen Feng, gave the first presentation in the first round, this time it will be our Huayu representative's turn to present."
"Please have the staff connect to the large screen."
After Sabine finished speaking, several staff members went on stage, and the audience from all over the world focused their attention on the poetry performance.
"Please release the love poem quickly so I can get the first information and confess my feelings to her."
"My favorite type of poetry is love poetry. I hope that the four veterans of Huayu and Fengshen can give me a surprise this time."
"If only the God of Wind could write a timeless love poem like the Green Jade Table."
"You must be dreaming. Do you think poetry is so easy to write?"
The whole country is talking about it, and the ratings have already exploded.
Since the performance of "Qing Yu An", it has attracted countless people to watch, including entire families.
"Okay, everyone quiet down. Now we will release the love poems of the Four Elders of Huayu. Please look at the big screen."
As Sabinen gestured, the large screen slowly changed.
Red Candle
(The mountains and rivers stretch far, the red candle burns low)
(The moon shines coldly in the middle of the night, and the wind is chilly)
(A solitary figure, a faint fragrance, leaning against the railing)
(Perhaps it's a predestined fate from childhood)
Upon hearing this poem, the entire audience exclaimed in amazement, "It is indeed a fine poem!"
"As expected of a master, this poem is much better than the previous ones. Although it cannot compare to the timeless masterpieces, it is still a fine poem."
Bai Yizhong was the first to comment, and he was very excited.
As the president of the poetry association, his favorite thing is good poetry.
