Adrian and the Autumn of Han Qiu Last Chapter

I looked at her carefully. She is not very pretty, with a small nose, small eyes and a small forehead, but she is not ugly either. She is a very "ordinary" Asian girl. I can honestly say that when I ask students to speak, if I call on their names, I pay more attention to those strange names. If I don't call on their names, I pay attention to who has an expression of willingness to speak, or who is playing around below. I don't consider whether they are pretty or not at all. But after her accusation, I, who am used to reflecting on everything, can't help but ask myself: Could it be that I really consider the factor of beauty in my subconscious mind? Thinking about it carefully, the few pretty girls in this class do seem to speak more often, but that's because they sit in the front, looking up at me all day long, and they are very enthusiastic about speaking. Besides, some students who don't like to speak deliberately sit in the back to hint that the teacher should call on them less. But you put such a big hat on me. I think it's not good to call her more often in the future. Wouldn't that be the same as admitting her accusation against me? So in the future, I pay attention to calling her at least once in every class, but always mix her with other people, don't let her do particularly difficult or particularly simple exercises, in short, try to downplay it as much as possible. But every time I called her, I would think of that day, and I could tell she was working hard, as if there was another voice talking to me. In the final exam, her score was above average, so I gave her 3 extra points to thank her for teaching me a lesson.

(Ewha Womans University is a "beauty nest" in Korea, so girls who are not pretty will inevitably feel a little psychological pressure here.)

Students taking a flight to class

Chinese people are well-informed and often do not take Koreans who have a strong sense of superiority seriously. However, there is one thing that Chinese people must admit, that is, Korea attaches much more importance to education than China. This is not only reflected in the government's measures, but also in the consciousness of ordinary people. This year, I was sent by Peking University to teach in the Chinese Department of Ewha Womans University in Seoul. One of the graduate courses is "Research on Modern Chinese Novels". There was a student in the class who made me feel a little different from the beginning. She is petite, with delicate and smart eyebrows and eyes, and a thin and charming figure. She often laughs and talks like other students, and is even more lively, but her every move reveals a mature elegance, a natural delicacy, and a kind of upbringing that has become a habit. So although her skin is younger than others, I concluded that she must be older than other students.

My guess was correct. One day, she told me that her home was not in Seoul, but in Gwangju, and she flew here every week to attend classes. It turned out that she had graduated from Ewha Womans University many years ago. She used the Chinese she learned to do a lot of work in society. Now, she and her sister have opened a Chinese school in Gwangju, and she is both the dean and a teacher, managing and teaching. In the heavy work, she increasingly felt the need to enrich her knowledge and improve her level. So, she once again stepped into the gate of her alma mater to "recharge" for her future.
