Yu Zihan was lost in thought as she thought of her mother far away. Pei Shuyan saw her sister was still lost in thought at this moment, so she hurriedly pulled her arm.
Yu Zihan looked at her sister and was deeply moved. Although her sister was younger than her and had a lively and lively personality, she was thoughtful and caring about her. She gave her sister a smile in return, and that smile seemed to tell Pei Shuyan, "Come on, we will win."
The host began to explain the competition system. After all, it was a live broadcast, and the audience in front of the TV were not familiar with the competition system.
"Our competition this time will be a PK match. The eight participating players will draw lots to select their PK opponents.
Next up was a live two-on-two duel, which consisted of impromptu speeches, followed by questions from the judges.
The total score of the assessment is composed of two parts: speech and answering questions, each accounting for 5 points, totaling 10 points.
Participants in the same group will have the same questions.
When a contestant was giving a speech, her opponent would be wearing headphones. She also learned the topic the same amount of time as her opponent, making the competition very fair.
Now, please invite all contestants to the center of the stage to draw lots."
Several people lined up in an orderly manner and walked to the center of the stage. Pei Shuyan prayed as she walked: "Buddha, please don't let me draw my sister in the first round."
She kept repeating this sentence. Yu Zihan wanted to laugh beside her. She also didn't want the sisters to compete with each other.
Everyone drew their own lot with their own thoughts. Yu Zihan opened it and it was number three. Pei Shuyan couldn't wait to open it as well.
"Oh my god, I'm number two. I was scared to death. Luckily, our signatures are different."
After everyone has determined their PK opponents, the competition continues.
The first group was a PK between Xu Anna and a male classmate. Without a doubt, Xu Anna entered the next round with a big advantage.
In the second group, Pei Shuyan faced a male contestant from the capital. Pei Shuyan narrowly won, thanks to her positive and relaxed attitude, which made her speech flow naturally. The male student, on the other hand, was very nervous from the start. His nervousness wasn't due to a lack of knowledge or skill, but rather to his overly focused mindset. This was his downfall.
Yu Zihan's opponent was a female player from Yangcheng, and Yu Zihan won with absolute advantage.
The winner of the fourth group was a male contestant from Shanghai. His speech was average, but his pronunciation and sense of language were very advanced, and his performance was also outstanding. Yu Zihan felt that this contestant was her strongest opponent because she could see that his level was far better than he showed.
The four winning contestants drew lots for the next round. This time, Yu Zihan and Pei Shuyan were not so lucky. They became PK contestants and were the first group to go on stage.
Xu Anna's opponent was Yan Jinyan, a Shanghai-based contestant. Looking at the two sisters who had become her rivals, Xu Anna felt extremely happy, even happier than when she was competing against them herself.
Although Pei Shuyan knew that there was a big gap between herself and her sister, she also performed very well. She tried her best to show her advantages to the judges and the audience.
So even though she lost, her youthful smile was remembered by the judges and the audience. Of course, Yu Zihan's stunning speech was even more popular.
"Sister, I tried my best, but I still lost. However, I am convinced of losing to you." Pei Shuyan said to Zi Han after they took off their headsets.
Yu Zihan looked at this lovely sister and felt sorry for her, "You will be even better."
After they sat down, the PK between Xu Anna and Yan Jinyan began. Yu Zihan watched their game very seriously.
Both of them are very strong players, and we can learn a lot from them. Pei Shuyan next to them was also watching with great interest.
As they watched, they mentally considered what answers they would give if faced with the same question.
The result was cruel. Xu Anna failed, while Yan Jinyan won because of her rich knowledge and quick response. Xu Anna's failure was also due to her mentality. She wanted to win too much, so she thought too much and inevitably made mistakes.
Xu Anna walked off the stage in a daze. How could she have lost? She didn't lose to Yu Zihan, but to someone she hadn't paid any attention to in the early stages. She was very unwilling to accept it.
Now that she has lost even the second place, what are all the bold words she said in front of her mother in the early days? Her mother must be extremely disappointed in her.
She sat in her seat in a depressed mood and didn't even watch the match between Yu Zihan and Yan Jinyan.
Pei Shuyan watched her sister's performance with great care. She saw in her sister a rigorous mind, strong logic, a solid foundation, and a strong ability to adapt. She saw the same qualities in Yan Jinyan. But Yan Jinyan lost.
Because Yu Zihan is more confident than Yan Jinyan.
The judges were very optimistic about both of them in the early stages, as they both had strong overall abilities, so they were looking forward to their performances.
In this kind of high-level confrontation, unexpected surprises will occur.
Sure enough, Yu Zihan brought them such a surprise.
The topic they drew was, "If I could live my life over again." This question is best answered by those who have experienced the baptism of time, but these two are teenagers. Their lives are already full of hope and expectation. What kind of feelings would they have?
Yu Zihan had the advantage of personal experience when it came to this kind of question. When she saw the question, she looked at the unfortunate child with a little guilt.
Life is like this. Everything is fair, but there are also elements of unfairness. It is important to seize your own opportunities. Otherwise, you will turn your advantages into disadvantages. Now it is necessary for Yu Zihan to firmly grasp her own opportunities.
If I could live my life over again, I would still choose my current life because I have the person I love most, my mother, in my life.
My mother was an educated youth. Her life was bizarre and tragic. In her prime years, she endured hardships unbearable for most people. But she persevered because she had love in her heart, and me. At one point, I was her only reason to live.
My mother and I once had no food to eat and no clothes to wear. Under such conditions, we still had to work in the fields, serve more than a dozen people, and take care of chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock.
Sleeping and having enough food were luxuries in my childhood, and reading was my dream as a teenager.
For my dream, my mother endured even heavier work and harsher treatment.
But we made it through. We didn't just make it through, we fought, using our wisdom, knowledge, and courage to fight, and we won.
My mother and I now live in a small town, where we lead a happy and peaceful life. Although we don't have abundant material possessions, we do have hope. We strive to live for this hope.
My mother lives hard for her love, and I work hard for my love.
Many of our dreams have come true, and there will be more surprises in our future.
So I will try my best to live in the present, and I will not think about starting my life over again, because the life I start over may start from scratch, and I may lose more.
