" But no matter what, the holiday economy has boosted domestic demand and promoted the development of the national economy. This is an indisputable fact." The debaters from No. 3 High School were clearly not confident.
"That's right. While we see the holiday economy stimulating domestic demand and promoting the development of the national economy, what else do we see?”，Bai Yue retorted," During the Golden Week, there are all kinds of complaints about the quality of service that are higher than usual. The various tourist attractions had received a large number of visitors that exceeded their maximum capacity, causing environmental damage. Isn't this what we should see? Could it be that we can only stare at the economic benefits in front of us?”
The debating team members of No. 3 High School were completely confused by Bai Yue's endless rebuttal. The thunderous applause from the audience made them feel even worse. If they thought of a way not to fight back, it would really be the end of the world.
After Bai Yue sat down, Zhang Yifan seized the opportunity to continue beating up the loser."In addition to what we mentioned just now, in the scenic spots and shopping malls that were crowded like sardines, we also saw: " The adults look at their heads, and the children look at their butts!'”
——
In the end, only No.1 Middle School, No.8 Middle School, No.13 Middle School, and Qilin Women's High School were left in the top four.
After drawing lots, the semi-finals were as follows:
No.1 High School versus No.8 High School, the topic of debate for both sides was: Was beauty an objective or subjective existence? The positive side is one, and the negative side is eight.
No. 13 High School versus Qilin Girl High School. The topic of debate for both sides was: Was human nature good or evil? The positive side is the thirteenth middle school, and the negative side is the Kirin Women's Affiliated High School.
According to the organizing committee's arrangement, after the teams and topics for the semi-finals were decided by drawing lots, there would be a day off for the exhausted contestants to relax their bodies and minds so that they could adjust to their best condition.
The semi-finals were held between No.1 High School and No.8 High School, two traditional schools in C City. In fact, the key to the victory of this match was largely dependent on the performance of No.1 High School's free agent, Zhang Yifan, and No.8 High School's free agent, Tan Qi.
Free debate stage.
"Thank you! The other party thinks that beauty is subjective. Then I want to ask you, today, there is a pearl hidden in a clam shell at the bottom of the sea. May I ask if this pearl is round and smooth or not?”
Tan Qi: " Some people think that pearls are very beautiful, but some people think that pearls are not beautiful. As early as the ancient times of the Chinese Dynasty, there was a story of buying a pig to return a pearl. Can you tell me that this person is definitely wrong?”
Zhang Yifan: " What the other party said was that the background of this pearl is a little different, but we can't deny that this pearl has beautiful characteristics. We admit that some people think that the pearl isn't beautiful. Why?" This was because pearls had both beautiful and ugly characteristics. However, people felt that it was beautiful because they saw its beautiful characteristics, and ugly because they felt that it had ugly characteristics. It was just that their views were different. Please do not confuse beauty with the feeling of beauty.”
Tan Qi: " You told me that beauty has its characteristics, but you didn't tell us what it is." You argue that beauty can only be called beauty if it has an image, but is this the standard of judgment? A yaksha also has its image, but can you tell everyone that a yaksha is beautiful?
Zhang Yifan said," Friend, I can't tell what the relationship between yaksha and beauty is." I would like to ask the other debate friend is that the other debate friend just said that he likes to talk about the Mona Lisa. May I ask everyone, if I think that the Mona Lisa is not beautiful today, does that mean that the Mona Lisa is not beautiful?”
Tan Qi: " Fellow debater, the Mona Lisa is a painting, but we can judge this painting in various ways. Just because we don't judge it in various ways doesn't mean it's definitely wrong. This is why we can have different subjective feelings when it comes to aesthetics. You still haven't told me about the other side. You told me that beauty has an unchanging law of judgment, which is that it has image, appeal, and utility. But you want to tell me why everything has an image. Is everything beautiful?”
Zhang Yifan said," Dear friend, the image refers to the image of beauty. Please don't confuse it." If beauty is a subjective feeling, I would like to ask everyone, today's "Tang Poetry Collection" is known as a beautiful work in the history of Chinese literature by foreigners who don't understand Chinese. According to your statement, this "Tang Poetry Collection" is beautiful in China.”
Tan Qi: " If we don't study Tang poetry in detail, how can we radiate a love for the beauty of Tang poetry from our hearts? Let me ask you a simple question. Do you think mermaids are beautiful?”
Zhang Yifan said," Well said. But instead of talking about the illusory mermaid, let's talk about reality. Let me ask my opponent, do you think our first debater, Bai Yue, is beautiful?"”
The moment Zhang Yifan said that, the crowd burst into laughter and applause. Bai Yue was already beautiful and moving. After Zhang Yifan said that in front of everyone, her pretty face immediately turned red, like a layer of rouge on white jade. Although the free man from No. 8 High School knew that something was wrong, he couldn't go against his conscience and lie in public. Therefore, he was caught off guard by Zhang Yifan. "Our first debater is naturally very beautiful. I believe the audience and the judges have seen it with their own eyes." But if beauty is a subjective existence according to the opponent's point of view, then can we say that from a personal subjective point of view, am I more beautiful than our first debater?”
"This…?" Amidst the wild laughter of the audience, it was obvious that Tan Qi's answer was neither right nor wrong. Everyone thought to themselves,"The free men of No.1 Middle School really live up to their reputation." However, Zhou Junruo pulled a long face and was unhappy. He hated Zhang Yifan, who was standing there and bowing to the audience to express his gratitude. He gritted his teeth but was helpless. It was no wonder that Zhang Yifan was flirting with his girlfriend in broad daylight.
