Chapter 47: The Rise and Fall of Branching Disciplines (04)

  Wednesday arrived as soon as it was mentioned. After finishing the morning exercise, the second-year high school students rushed to check the results of the liberal arts and science division in the bulletin board. As Old Li said, Chen Haonan and nine classmates in the class were assigned to Class 214.

  Like other schools, there is a serious "heavy science and light liberal arts" tendency in Yannan Middle School: In the current second year of high school, only three classes are arranged for liberal arts (respectively 212 class, 213 class and 214 class, namely liberal arts class one, liberal arts class two and liberal arts class three), while eight classes are arranged for science.

  For the original students of classes 212, 213 and 214, the school encouraged them to choose science courses. Of course, if they wanted to stay in their own class to read liberal arts, the school couldn't intervene. However, for students from other classes who want to enter the liberal arts class, they have to go through "strict screening". At this time, the head teacher of the liberal arts class naturally becomes arrogant and picks on students from other classes who are willing to read liberal arts, not to mention being overbearing and pretentious.

  So, some students who intend to read liberal arts are busy running around and "activating" everywhere. Some even use various personal relationships in their families, either to get close to the school leaders or to build relationships with the heads of each liberal arts class. Some even have to make great sacrifices. Among the more than 60 classmates in Class 211, originally more than 20 "volunteers" chose liberal arts, but only about 10 were approved: those who were approved were naturally overjoyed, while those who were not approved were left sulking.

  Back in the classroom, most of my classmates were arranged by Old Li to clean up or set up the venue. This venue is not only a farewell party but also a welcome party: after Chen Haonan and ten other students left, more than ten new students will enter the 211 class.

  Before long, the venue was set up and all the students took their seats. Before long, Old Li walked onto the stage with a spirited look on his face and began to give a farewell speech:

  Classmates:

  It's been over a year since I've been with everyone, and I'm grateful for all the support you've given me in my work. I wish I could stay with all of my classmates together until you graduate and move on to higher education, watching you soar out of Yanzhong Middle School. However, due to the needs of studying and moving on to higher education, 10 of our classmates will be leaving our classroom soon...

  Parting is a sorrow, but we should welcome it with joy - without parting, where does the joy of reunion come from? So, we should take parting as the beginning of joy.

  Although you ten classmates are about to leave, the door of Class 211 is always open for you. Class 211 will forever be a haven for your soul. I hope that those of you who are leaving will strive hard, work diligently and thriftily, show off the elegance of our class, and display the excellence of our class! Thank you!

  Lao Li's speech won a round of warm applause, and some classmates' eyes began to moisten. Next, Chen Haonan also walked calmly onto the stage and began his speech:

  Dear Teacher Li and dear classmates:

  Hello everyone!

  I represent the ten classmates who are about to leave Class 211 to say a few words... I really don't want to bid farewell, but at this moment we have to face separation. As Teacher Li said earlier, "Take separation as the beginning of joy", if so, why should we be sad?

  But at this moment, standing on this podium, what I want to say most is "thank you", thank the teachers for accompanying us, thank my classmates for walking hand in hand with us, every bit and piece, we have all remembered...

  Fellow students present, in the days to come, regardless of whether we are still in the same class or not, and regardless of whether we are still in the same school or not, even if we all leave to pursue our own dreams, please remember one thing: The people of Class 211 are the strongest! As long as we work hard, everything is within reach! Thank you!

  Chen Haonan's words were met with applause that lasted for a long time, but no matter how intense the applause was, it eventually stopped...

  The process of moving things was silent, and no one said a word. Li Donglin and two other classmates also came to help Chen Haonan move things without saying anything.

  At the moment he walked out of the classroom, Chen Haonan involuntarily stopped for a moment. He took a look at the 211 class sign - a sense of sadness suddenly surged up in his heart. Afraid that he couldn't hold back tears, he hugged several books and quickly followed Li Donglin and others: He knew that once he walked out of the 211 classroom, it meant that a new life was about to begin...

  How will we face the storms and rains in the future?

  Chen Haonan didn't look back, he just clenched his teeth and kept moving forward... The dream seemed to still be quite vague!
