Chapter 483: Good Deeds Must Be Remembered
When the bell rang, Professor Ma, who taught phonology in the Classical Literature Department, packed up his materials and opened the classroom door. He was startled by the students gathered outside.
"What are you doing here? Are you chasing stars?" Professor Ma knew that Liu Man in the class was an Internet celebrity. As the favorite student of Mr. Su and the student protected by Principal Fang, which teacher in the school didn't recognize Liu Man?
Liu Lan had taken a leave of absence and missed classes for more than a month. When she first came to class, there were students waiting outside to see the celebrity, but not as many as now. After the novelty wore off, no one came. In their opinion, no matter how famous Liu Lan was, apart from her good looks, she was just a student like everyone else, and she didn't have any extra powers.
Professor Ma had a very good impression of Liu Lan, because her pronunciation of Western Han Chinese was incredibly standard. It can be said that Liu Lan was the first and only student he had met in his teaching career who could read the ancient sounds of the Han Dynasty more accurately than the books. Those awkward Han Dynasty documents and poems were really pleasant to the ears when she read them out. Her performance was not like a beginner in phonology at all. Professor Ma thought that this was probably related to her learning calligraphy. It was said that she was also the best at writing Han seal script. So it made sense that her level of other ancient sounds after the Han Dynasty was no different from that of other students.
But just based on this fact, Liu Lan was enough to make Professor Ma look at her with new eyes. No wonder Principal Fang wanted to get her into their university. This girl is indeed a talent.
Professor Ma wondered, had Liu Lan done something earth-shattering again this time?
He asked his doubts.
One student said, "We saw the fire-fighting video of the Classical Literature Department online. We came not only to see Liu Man, but also to see other students who bravely stepped up to help others. We wanted to tell them face to face that you did a great job!"
As soon as the student finished speaking, other students around him echoed, "Yes, they are heroes who put out fires!"
...
...
Upon hearing this, Professor Ma also took out his mobile phone to watch the video.
The students from the Department of Classical Literature who were still in the classroom heard the voices outside. Some of them realized that Liu Lan had posted the fire-fighting video online. They didn't understand why Liu Lan did this. They were putting out the fire and didn't want everyone to know about it. It was as if they were deliberately putting on a show or begging for praise. Everyone's opinion was the same as Sun Weiwei's - doing good deeds without leaving a name is the highest level.
Liang Shengnan said to Liu Lan, "So many people know about this, we are embarrassed to go to the cafeteria to eat."
Liu Man didn't want to gain attention with this kind of thing. She explained, "Sister Taozi asked me to do this. I guess she went to the film and television base to settle the bill today. Something unexpected happened, so she needed to use the video to clarify the facts."
Professor Ma had already finished watching the video. He was deeply moved and turned back to the classroom. He happened to hear Liu Lan's words. He pretended to be angry and said to Liu Lan, "When I was teaching, you were distracted and posted on Weibo!"
Liu Man was ashamed, "You taught me a lesson."
"You did nothing wrong in posting the video. If you have done a good deed, you should let everyone know about it. In today's society, morality and values are seriously declining. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a phenomenon as 'whether you help an old man who falls'. People are becoming more and more indifferent. When they see others in trouble, they turn a blind eye to it, fearing that they will get into trouble. They have completely forgotten the essence of our Chinese nation's thousands of years of traditional culture - saving the dying and the wounded, respecting the elderly and loving the young, and being brave to do what is right. I am very pleased that you kids have not forgotten your original aspirations. You are role models for young people. Even internet celebrities can still have the power of role models!"
Professor Ma's words were powerful and contagious, which excited the students inside and outside the classroom. Everyone applauded and said, "The professor is right!"
Liu Lan and her classmates felt a warm feeling in their hearts when they saw the professor giving them a thumbs up and heard the cheers from their classmates in the corridor.
Jiang Chengfeng and his roommate also encountered a similar situation. After Jiang Chengfeng got the video last night, he originally planned to show it to Professor Zhao this morning. Even if Liu Lan posted it online, he had to go find the professor. Who knows whether the professor usually reads Weibo.
Unexpectedly, Professor Zhao came to the classroom personally to find the four of them. He greeted the teacher who was teaching and called the four of them out. This made the other students think that the vice-dean was still angry from last night and was going to continue to deal with them today.
