Such a noisy debate suddenly broke out in the quiet library, naturally attracting the attention of many people.
"That's too much.”
"I know them. They're all from the Year Two Elite Training Class. I think they were childhood friends. This girl's studies have never been as good as the guy's, but this time, she got a spot in the First Model Ranking…This guy's not balanced.”
"What does that have to do with the arts and sciences?”
"He might feel that his poor childhood friend was able to get into the top few in the liberal arts class, so he lost his balance.”
"It's normal. Some people just think that humanities is easy and that it's just memorizing. They look down on humanities students and treat themselves as future great scientists.”
Such arguments were actually normal in Jiangnan High School.
In most schools, science students had the advantage in numbers, but Jiangnan First High School was the opposite.
As the century-old elite schools mostly focused on the humanities, in addition to the fact that they had once produced a humanities genius like Xie Fangli, the number of humanities students in Jiangnan High School was competing with the number of science students.
In addition, the number of humanities geniuses in the school this year was higher than the number of science geniuses. Naturally, the school's policy was biased.
Under such circumstances, some people began to feel unbalanced.
What right do you have to get the best teachers and the best resources for your useless liberal arts to be allocated to us science students? We're already God-level 20 students!
On the other side, the bespectacled man, who had the upper hand, became more and more reckless.
"Zhang Mengmeng, didn't you study humanities because you were not good at physics and chemistry? I really advise you to change your subject now. It's not too late. Useless humanities…"
The girl said stubbornly,""It's not useless."
However, he didn't know how to refute it. After all, he was too old to have much social experience to refute the long-standing theory that liberal arts were useless.
"Then tell me, what's the use? Can you govern the country or make a fortune?”
"I…"
Just as the girl was at a loss for words, a voice came from the side."What's there to refute? He's right. It's indeed useless.”
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a calm certainty.
The girl raised her head and followed everyone's gaze. She saw a handsome young man in a shirt walking over from not far away.
After walking to her side, he picked up the book on the table and took a look. He smiled and said,"Oh, you can understand Balzan's 'From Dawn to Weakness'?”
The girl looked at the person in front of her and was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously said,"I can understand part of it."
"Not bad." Zhou You put down the book and smiled.”
The girl was speechless.
Of course, the people around him recognized such a famous face.
Wasn't this the Little Tyrant of Nanzhong? Wasn't he also a humanities student? Why was he suddenly speaking up for the science students?
The bespectacled man didn't seem to know who Zhou You was. When he saw someone speaking up for him, he immediately looked smug."Right? You see, others also agree with my point of view. You can't even tell what's the use of the books you read.”
Zhou You raised his eyebrows as if he didn't see the bespectacled man.
Zhang Mengmeng, the top student in Year Two, looked at the girl in front of her and said.
"Like I said just now, the next time you meet such an idiot, you don't have to refute him.”
What?
As soon as he said this, the bespectacled man's smug expression froze, and the surrounding people also revealed strange expressions.
What was Zhou You talking about?
He was right when he said that humanities were useless, but now he was calling him an idiot.
Which team were they on?
Zhou You stood up straight and looked around at the crowd. Finally, his gaze landed on the bespectacled man's face, and his eyes gradually narrowed.
The pressure that only belonged to the little tyrant of Nanzhong came over.
"I didn't expect Jiangnan High School to have such a shallow student like you. You are such a shallow student, yet you still dare to make such ridiculous remarks in public. I admire you even more.”
Zhou You smiled and decided to help his junior vent her anger.
His voice spread throughout the entire library hall.
"You said that liberal arts is useless? That's right, liberal arts should be useless. The problems it focuses on should also be 'useless'. The three emotions that dominated Luo Su's life-the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the uncontrollable sympathy for the suffering of mankind-were, in the final analysis, distant and useless.‘Useless 'was the most basic characteristic of this subject, and it was the way to maintain the nobility of this subject.”
The moment he said that, the entire hall fell silent.
Luo Su and a bunch of profound debate scriptures were thrown at him. The bespectacled man was stunned.
What a fresh point of view.
The humanities…should be useless?
Useless is the way to maintain nobility?
However, for some reason, even though it sounded like an affirmation of the uselessness of liberal arts, the unique pride and desolation were conveyed from every word.
But this was not the end.
"And you, your name is Zhang Mengmeng, right?" Zhou You asked.”.
"Yes, Senior Zhou You."”
"Okay, then I'll only say this once.”Zhou You raised his eyebrows and pointed at the man with glasses."In the future, if someone like you asks you, what's the use of the liberal arts we study? You proudly asked him, are you insulting me? What we learn should be useless.”
"What liberal arts teaches us is not about fixing cars or hairdressing, not about counting or buying vegetables, not about survival skills. It's about the way to look at the world, the spirit to think about problems, and the essence of civilization from hundreds of millions of years of history. What we learn is the use of the useless. Do you understand?"
The unquestionable indifference and the endless aftertaste in his words made the breathing sound gradually heavy.
If one didn't have an extreme understanding of the arts, they definitely wouldn't be able to say such words.
The meaning behind it could almost be read and understood…Was
this still traveling around?
Oh my god…Why does it feel like some Chinese scholar is preaching here?
He didn't care what shocked looks the people around him were giving him. The bespectacled man was already speechless from Zhou You's words.
In the end, Zhou You muttered to himself disdainfully.
"At the very least, being useless is better than being ignorant.”
After saying that.
Carrying her bag, she straightened her body and walked out of the library with slow steps.
Insulting the subject I'm good at?
He was really tired of living.
Half a minute after he left, the entire library seemed to have woken up and exploded into thunderous discussions.
"F * ck! It's too awesome."
"There's still someone who refutes the theory that the humanities are useless. My blood was boiling when I heard that. I thought I was the guardian of civilization.”
"If you say that liberal arts is useless next time, I'll scold you like this.”
"That's not right. When did Zhou You become so powerful? This is too fierce! She had only been in the elite class for a few days, and she was already like this.”
"I think I have to memorize this paragraph.”
"Hahahaha, look at that bespectacled guy. He's just been traveling around for a while now. If it was in the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave school.”
"Wow, I suddenly feel that Senior Zhou You is more handsome.”
When the knowledge accumulated in a person's chest reached a certain level, what was reflected was something that couldn't be hidden no matter what…amazing talent!
It was hard to recall.
A month ago, this young man who was so talented and had an unquestionable presence was just an ignorant and incompetent student.
(I don't know if everyone likes this chapter, I just feel that... well, this kind of plot can better reflect what kind of person Zhou You has changed into.) But let me warn you, this plot is a foreshadowing ~)
