Chapter 168 - 103: Advice
Upon first seeing the scanned test papers, everyone thought the same thing, "Based on this handwriting alone, as examiners, they would have to give Shu Wan full marks."
Shu Wan’s brush calligraphy had a style of its own, elegant and handsome. Although it couldn’t compare to the flair of brush characters when written with a modern ballpoint pen,
the spirit of her handwriting remained there. And because the ballpoint pen’s characters are much finer than the brush’s, they appeared exceptionally delicate and neat.
It looked as beautiful as if a master’s calligraphy had been printed on the test paper. Just one look was pleasing to the eye.
With such excellent handwriting, coupled with her answers containing both the key points of the standard answer and her own unique thoughts,
her essay was even more brilliant, with various poems coming readily to hand, skillfully blending classical and vernacular language without a trace of awkwardness, giving the whole piece an air of classical charm yet lively freedom.
In just a thousand words, the reasoning was profound, the discussion detailed, and the perspective clever. Even the most critical haters, upon reading such an essay, couldn’t deny it deserved full marks.
"Help... Before seeing the test paper, I completely didn’t believe anyone could score full marks in Chinese, but after seeing it, if I were the examiner, I would give full marks too."
"This handwriting is too beautiful!! Just for this handwriting, this test paper could earn half the points. This essay, wow, our teacher directly said, let our whole class memorize and recite it by heart, claiming that such skill is almost on par with famous masters."
"She is so awesome; she makes you feel her literary grace without it seeming like she’s just piling up flowery language meaninglessly. This must be what our teacher meant by the highest realm of application, great deity, please accept my knees."
