Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Teacher Yang clapped his hands, looked at everyone, and encouraged them, "Students, no matter what the result is, you have demonstrated your strength and style in this competition.

Now that the game is over, we just have to wait patiently for the result."

In the following time, the students exchanged their feelings about the competition and looked forward to the announcement of the results.

This calligraphy competition is not only a contest of skills, but also an experience of growth. It will leave a deep impression in the hearts of the students.

Because the results of the competition will be announced in the afternoon, and there will also be a small award ceremony.

So after Teacher Yang learned about the competition from the students, he said hello to a few familiar teachers and took the students to a restaurant for lunch.

On the other side, the judges began to conduct preliminary screening of each work and then classified them according to different grade standards.

The president of the calligraphy association looked at the work in his hands and nodded slightly. "This piece has great potential. The strokes are neat, but the strength is a little lacking."

One of the judges took the calligraphy from the president's hand, looked at it, and couldn't help nodding, "Well, the calligraphy is okay."

"It's difficult. Young people nowadays don't like the things left by their ancestors." He sighed after saying this.

Another judge took over the conversation: "My painting is also good. The density is appropriate. It can be seen that the artist has practiced diligently every day."

"There are still one or two paintings that are acceptable, but some works are a little lacking." A judge said with a frown.

He picked up the next piece of calligraphy and looked at it, frowning and saying, "Look, the strokes of this calligraphy are not stable enough, and the structure is also very loose."

"Well, in a competition, there are bound to be high and low levels of skill," the president responded, "but we still have to carefully screen to ensure fairness and justice."

At this time, a judge said excitedly: "Look, this "Young Man Says" (excerpt) is really eye-catching." The author is Lu Youning, and she looks like a little girl.

The other judges passed around Lu Youning's work. "It's truly excellent. The handwriting is elegant and beautiful yet dynamic, and the lines flow smoothly and naturally. It's truly one of the best among these entries."

"Well, it's better than the calligraphy the president just used."

"Not bad!"

"The content is also very well chosen. 'Youth Talk' is full of vigor and energy, which perfectly complements their age and the style of their running script."

The president carefully examined the work and said, "It seems that there are still many outstanding talents in this competition. This author has great potential and is worth cultivating."

"It seems that we should hold more activities like this in the future to allow more students to get in touch with and understand our country's traditional culture. Calligraphy is a treasure of traditional culture, and we hope that they can be passed down from generation to generation." Another judge continued.

"Yes, children nowadays are too influenced by popular culture and like boy bands and girl bands. Few of them like to learn calligraphy. We need to promote it more," a judge sighed.

After lunch, Teacher Yang led the students back to the competition venue, where the venue had been set up for the award ceremony, creating a solemn and warm atmosphere.

The students clenched their fists nervously, excitedly awaiting the results. Teacher Yang stood by, smiling at them, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The host walked onto the stage, cleared his throat, began to introduce the judges present, and then announced the results of the competition.

"After careful selection by the judges, the winners of the Best Creativity Award in this calligraphy competition are Liu Haoran, Li Zixin...

The winners of the Best Improvement Award are: Rosie...

The winners of the Best Style Award are: Qin Yuhao...

Let us congratulate them with a big round of applause."

"Okay, next we'll award the third prizes. The third prize winners of this calligraphy competition are Jiang Xun from L City No. 1 Middle School, Liao Yunchi from M City No. 3 Middle School, and Lu Xixi from H City."

Teacher Yang clapped excitedly and said, "Jiang Xun, great, very impressive."

Lu Youning and other classmates also applauded and said congratulations.

Jiang Xun showed a bright smile on his face. He stood up and walked towards the podium amid the envious gazes and warm applause of his classmates.

As the host read out the names one by one, the award-winning students walked up to the stage one by one, received their certificates, prizes and bonuses from the award presenters, with proud smiles on their faces.

Then, the host began to announce the winner of the second prize. The students in the audience became even more nervous, hoping to be the next lucky winner.

Lu Youning's heartbeat accelerated rapidly at this moment. She unconsciously clasped her hands together, and her fingers turned slightly white due to the force.

She sat still, staring at the host without blinking, as if that would help her hear the results faster.

The host's voice echoed in the air. When the names of the two second-place winners were read out, Lu Youning felt a strong sense of loss in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly, bit her lips tightly, and tried hard to suppress her inner frustration.

She originally thought she could win a third or second prize, but ended up with nothing. It seems she still has a lot to learn.

"Next, we are going to announce the first prize winner of this calligraphy competition. She is Lu Youning from L City No. 1 Middle School! Please invite Lu Youning to come on stage." The host's voice was passionate and powerful.

When Lu Youning's name was announced as the first prize winner, Teacher Yang's face was instantly shocked, her face flushed with excitement, and then she broke into a bright smile.

He stood up excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.

He kept saying, "That's great, that's great, Lu Youning, you're the pride of our school. I'm going to call back to tell the school the good news. Hahahaha."

Lu Youning was still immersed in a feeling of loss and did not pay attention to what the host said.

Lin Anran, who was sitting next to her, excitedly shook Lu Youning and said, "Youning, you won first prize! Go up and claim your award!"

Other students also congratulated her and urged her to go on stage.

At this moment, she woke up from her dream, and a huge joy suddenly surged in her heart. Her eyes lit up and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

She slowly stood up and walked towards the podium with somewhat trembling steps amid the warm applause and cheers of her classmates.

The award presenter, the president of the calligraphy association, personally handed the first prize certificate, prize and cash prize to Lu Youning and shook hands with her to express his congratulations. He encouraged her:

"Student Lu, your calligraphy is very good. I hope you can keep it up and promote our traditional culture."

Lu Youning excitedly accepted the certificate and award, "Thank you, I will continue to work hard." Then she bowed deeply to the award presenters and the audience again to express her gratitude.

The host asked, "How is Lu Youning feeling right now? Please share your thoughts on receiving the award."

Lu Youning took the microphone and replied, "I'm very happy and excited. I thank the judges for their recognition of me. I also thank my school, teachers, and classmates."

I want to say that calligraphy is a traditional cultural treasure of our Chinese nation. I hope more students can join the ranks of calligraphy learners, experience the charm of calligraphy together, and inherit and promote our excellent traditional culture. Thank you all!

Afterwards, the president of the Calligraphy Association took the stage and delivered an enthusiastic speech.

He highly praised the students' wonderful performance in the competition, emphasized the importance of calligraphy as a traditional culture, and encouraged the students to continue their efforts to inherit and promote China's excellent traditional culture.

Finally, all the award winners took a group photo on stage. The president of the calligraphy association even exchanged WeChat accounts with Lu Youning, telling him to contact him on WeChat if he had any calligraphy questions in the future. His attitude was very friendly and approachable.
