What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Team leader, you also know about the semi-cursive script exam paper?"

"Um."

Xiao Xugang, the head of the marking team, nodded, his brow furrowed.

"Everyone here came because of that exam paper."

Upon hearing this, Liu Changlu looked at his colleagues in the room.

Including myself and Zhang Jiangshan.

There were twelve people in total.

One question for each pair of students.

In other words, there are six examiners grading the exams in the room.

"Could it be...?" Liu Changlu was completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Xugang nodded: "Yes, all six subjective questions on the regular script exam were full marks."

The words fell.

The room was completely silent.

Whether it was the examiners or the team leader Xiao Xugang.

They couldn't believe their own eyes and ears.

Getting a perfect score on a major question could be due to luck.

However, all twelve teachers unanimously gave full marks to the six subjective sections.

This is no longer a matter of luck!

In shock

Liu Changlu pressed further, "What about the objective questions earlier?"

Xiao Xugang: "The computer has already checked the answers, and they are all correct without any errors."

"What about the essay?" Zhang Jiangshan asked, somewhat incredulously.

The teacher in charge of grading the essays behind me is still a little stunned.

He said in a daze.

"The essay is written in neat handwriting, with clear logic and a well-defined theme; it is practically a model essay."

Another examiner added.

"It's not just a matter of expression."

"This candidate answered the entire question in the form of a long poem."

"There are as many as 77 rhyming instances."

"Given my level of expertise, it's already difficult for me to give him a proper evaluation."

Xiao Xugang pulled up the essay section of the exam paper from his computer and showed it to everyone.

"Although it was written in the style of poetry."

"But the expression is equally rich in layers and meaning."

"This kid seems to be showing off his skills."

The teachers stared at the neatly printed exam paper and fell into a long silence.

Let me ask you a question.

These people are all teachers in the Faculty of Arts, including professors and deans.

But how many people can write poetry in a given essay topic and still express it accurately?

Xiao Xugang was in charge of the entire Chinese language marking team.

Any questions about the exam papers can be resolved here.

His primary role is also the Dean of the School of Humanities at Shanhe University.

Available today.

He felt incredibly small in the face of this exam paper.

"Comrades, without a doubt, a genius has emerged."

"I see it from any angle."

"This test paper deserves full marks!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xugang's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

Judging from what they saw, giving them full marks is perfectly reasonable.

Whether it's a subjective or objective question, the test takers covered all aspects.

Even small details like handwriting and the neatness of the paper are done to perfection.

There's simply no point in deducting points.

but!

Everyone had doubts.

Someone in the crowd said something in a weak voice.

"Team Leader Xiao, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have only been two instances of a person getting a perfect score in Chinese language."

Getting a perfect score in the Chinese language section of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) is, in some ways, harder than winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded at least once a year.

In the past few decades, there have only been two instances of getting a perfect score in Chinese language.

Moreover, the first one was from a very long time ago, and is somewhat unverifiable.

If they award this paper a perfect score, it will definitely shock the whole country.

The media will definitely rush to report on it.

If the papers cannot withstand public scrutiny, all the teachers who graded them will bear the responsibility.

Xiao Xugang was well aware of this; he knew the matter was of great importance.

"How about this, we hang this paper up."

"I'm going to the grading committee."

"A perfect score in Chinese language exams is something that must be approached with utmost care."

"You guys go back first."

……

……

three days later.

Inside the office of the director of the marking committee at the Provincial Department of Education.

Shandong University President Lin Zheng sat inside his desk, which was covered with documents related to the college entrance examination.

He is busiest when it comes to grading papers each year.

It's even busier than when I was working at Shandong University.

After all, he had to coordinate the marking work across the entire province and also provide academic suggestions on the marking process.

Boom boom boom!

"Director Lin, is this a convenient time?"

Lin Zheng recognized the person just by their voice: "Team Leader Xiao, please come in."

Xiao Xugang walked in hurriedly, holding an encrypted file folder in his hand.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Seeing Xiao Xugang's expression, Lin Zheng felt a pang of anxiety.

Xiao Xugang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the Chinese language marking team is having some issues they can't decide on."

"Haven't the marking of Chinese language exams all finished?"

Xiao Xugang explained in detail: "Everything else is finished, but there's one paper that we dare not make a decision about."

Lin Zheng took the file folder.

While unpacking, I asked questions.

"Is there anything you, as the dean of the Faculty of Arts, can't solve?"

Lin Zheng and Xiao Xugang have been colleagues for many years.

He knew Xiao Xugang's skill level all too well.

This old friend has countless students in the field of literary education.

The number of published papers is countless, all measured in gigabytes.

Currently, almost all the core teaching staff in the liberal arts departments of various universities are students of Xiao Xugang.

He guessed that if even Xiao Xugang couldn't decide on a particular exam paper, it must be one of those unusual exam papers.

"Is it illegible handwriting or is it suspected of cheating?"

Xiao Xugang shook his head and said, "Full marks."

The words fell.

Lin Zheng, who had just pulled out the exam paper, froze.

Full marks?

What does "perfect score" mean?

What a niche vocabulary!

As the director of the marking committee, Xiao Xugang has heard many more perfect scores these days.

But all those perfect scores came from math, physics, and chemistry.

A perfect score in Chinese? What the heck?

After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately pulled out the test paper and began to examine it intently.

at the same time.

Xiao Xugang was explaining from the side.

"As you can see, this paper is written in standard semi-cursive script, almost on par with professional calligraphers."

"The entire piece is flawless, without any typos or corrections, and is extremely neat."

"As for the answers, we checked the objective questions five times and there were no mistakes."

"For the subjective questions, all the examiners reviewed them at least ten times, and they all felt that they should have received full marks."

"I personally think so too; it would be an injustice not to give this paper full marks..."

Xiao Xugang sighed repeatedly from the side.

But Lin Zheng didn't hear a single word.

There is no other reason.

This exam paper in my hand is truly astounding.

Although Lin Zheng did not major in literature, he was the head of the first school.

He knew all too well the value of this exam paper.

Both the writing and the content are impeccable.

After reading the essay.

He was even a little moved.

"A perfect score is a perfect score!"

"What's there to hesitate about!"

"We will take the opinions of your Chinese language marking team as the primary consideration!"

After three days of internal struggle, Xiao Xu was still somewhat hesitant: "But this is, after all, the third perfect score paper in our country, it will attract..."

"What's there to be afraid of!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Zheng interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"We don't need to consider anything else; a good answer is a perfect score."

"Papers that can withstand the scrutiny of the language exam grading experts can also withstand the test of society!"

"It has to be a perfect score, otherwise I'll be letting the test takers down..."

Lin Zhengzheng was speaking passionately.

suddenly!

dong dong dong-

There was another knock on the door.
