After a lot of drawing, the 32 teams for the final round of the first high school debate competition in C City were finally decided. C City No.1 High School, which was the most likely to win the championship, was naturally assigned to Group A. In the same group were No.7 High School, No.13 High School, and No.88 High School. In order to comply with public opinion, the competition between No.1 High School and No.13 High School was arranged by the organizing committee as the highlight of the opening battle of the final stage of the competition. And the topic of this debate was," Is the truth clearer the more we debate?"
Through the drawing of lots, No.1 Middle School had drawn the opposing side. They needed to prove their point of view to the judges and the audience through their own efforts." The truth will not become clearer the more you argue."
From a normal cognitive point of view, it was easier to be positive. After all, many truths in history had been perfected through people's debates. Therefore, in the pre-match preparation meeting, almost everyone made pessimistic predictions about the outcome of this game.
"Why don't we just give up on this match?”，Wu Neng suggested. As soon as this suggestion was made, everyone present fell silent. In fact, everyone knew that the chances of winning this game were not high, but fortunately, this was a round-robin match. As long as they focused on winning the next two games, it would not be a problem for them to advance. It was just that in such an important competition, he actually surrendered without a fight. It seemed that it was not a matter of face. Zhang Yifan was the only one who didn't think much of it. In the midst of the mourning atmosphere, he actually suggested,""Not necessarily. Before the real competition, we might not necessarily lose."
"You, this fellow, there should be a limit to your boasting, right?”，Zhou Junruo said unhappily," I don't want people to say to me when they see me when I go out,'Look, why is there a cow flying in the sky? It's because there are pigs bragging on the ground in your school!'”。He didn't want Zhang Yifan to continue being in the limelight. Therefore, he seized the opportunity to demote him as low as possible.
"Oh?" Wu Neng's interest was piqued by Zhang Yifan." Tell everyone what you think!”。He didn't care about the discord between Zhang Yifan and Zhou Junruo at all. Instead, he thought that his team members were always engaged in such a war of words. It was no wonder that they could always " beat " their opponents until they lost their armor and ran away. Moreover, he wanted to hear what Zhang Yifan had to say. If he couldn't even convince his own people, then he wouldn't need to embarrass himself if Zhou Junruo was right.
" Of course, I have my reasons for saying this," Zhang Yifan explained." Firstly, debate should only be an action, not a rule. It should be based on two or more opposing views. And in real life, did debate equate to being kind, reasonable, and telling the truth? The answer was obviously no. During the Second World War, the British said," I am fighting for the truth; the Germans also said: I fight for the truth; even the French say: I'm doing this for the truth! "Everyone has their own opinions. In the end, what did we find out about the truth? Truth was the thousands of corpses lying on the ground!
Secondly, truth should come from practice and be tested in practice. Debate was independent of the entire process of human beings searching for the truth. It only provided an occasion for different opinions and thoughts to be expressed. However…Debate itself would not produce truth. The ideas derived from debate could not really prove which was closer to the truth. This was because practice was the only standard to test the truth.
Thirdly, this is also the most important point."
" Alright, alright." Wu Neng interrupted Zhang Yifan's long speech. He was completely impressed by Zhang Yifan's quick thinking and open-mindedness." Write down your thoughts and ideas and discuss them with your teammates." Seeing that there was a turn for the better in the competition, Wu Neng felt that his decision back then was even more wise! Back then, she had endured the pressure of many teachers in the school and insisted on recruiting Zhang Yifan back to the school. At that time, he only thought that one should be grateful. But now it seemed that he had unintentionally picked up a treasure!
When it came to the day of the competition, it could only be described as "unprecedented". In order to show fairness, all the venues were arranged by the organizing committee to be held at the Olympic Sports Center in C City. C City's Olympic Sports Center, which could accommodate nearly 60,000 people, was already full three hours before the start of the competition. Other than the participating teams and the major media outlets of C City, many schools in the city simply put aside everything and came here to watch the competition. It was said that the ticket price on that day had been raised to a sky-high price of 200 yuan per ticket by the "scalpers". It really provided a lot of topics for the people of C City to chat about before and after tea. As the opening match of the finals of the first high school debate competition in C City, it became the focus of everyone's attention.
"How, how could there be such a big scene?”，Zhou Junruo sat on a stool in the lounge after changing his clothes. He looked at the sea of people outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass and could not help but say with trembling legs. Although he had seen many big scenes with his parents since he was young, it felt completely different from the past. After all, he was one of the main characters this time!
"Tsk, with that little brat of yours, you still have the nerve to tell others that you're one of the three young masters of No.1 Middle School?”，Zhang Yifan couldn't help but ridicule his love rival." You're really embarrassing our No.1 Middle School!"”
"What right do you have to criticize others?”，Zhou Junruo retorted sarcastically," Aren't your own legs shaking?”
" Uh, this question…" Zhang Yifan thought that it was useless to talk about this. He and Zhou Junruo were just laughing at the pot calling the kettle black. They were the same. He looked at Song Dian, who was sitting on a stool calmly, and said,"" Boss Song, you're really good at maintaining your composure. You're still able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you. This really makes me admire you like a torrential river that flows endlessly. It's like the flood of the Yellow River that can't be stopped. It's like..."
But before he could finish, Long Tingting had already pushed the door open and said,"What are you three waiting for? My cousin is already waiting for you at the players 'passage."
" Let's go, let's go," Zhou Junruo urged. He had been taught since he was young that it was ungentlemanly to make a girl wait, let alone his girlfriend. However, when he, Zhang Yifan, and Long Tingting were about to walk out of the door, they realized that Song Dian was still sitting on the chair. "Song Dian, what's wrong?" Zhou Junruo asked curiously. Was there anything else that needed to be done?”
" Please," Song Dian said after a long while," I, I'm so scared that my legs are numb. I can't stand up at all. Can the two of you come over and help me?"”
"Plop-", all three of them fell.
