On September 28, the day before the National Day holiday in 2008, colorful flags were flying on the campus of Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School, huge hydrogen balloons were holding banners, stages and inflatable arches with ribbons were set up in front of the school office building, and four basketball courts were used as auditoriums, and areas were designated by the class on the ground with white paint. // // (Although Baidu search has two months to the end of the year, the situation throughout the year has almost been determined. 2008 has special significance for all Chinese people:

In May of this year, the disaster of the earth and mountains cast a shadow of disaster for the year, but it was also during the earthquake relief that the unity and belief of our nation were demonstrated. After the disaster, people healed their wounds with kindness and warmth and walked out of their tragedy.

The Olympic Games, which ended successfully in August, showed the world the style of the Eastern nation, and topped the medal list for the first time in history. With undisputed facts, it eloquently proves that the 21st century was no longer the era of the sick man in East Asia.

However, compared with these two well-known events, another thing that ordinary people do not pay much attention to will have a far-reaching impact in the undercurrent international pattern. Since the outbreak of the US subprime mortgage crisis, the downward trend of the economy has become increasingly obvious. With the introduction of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing policy, the crisis will inevitably gradually spread to Europe and Japan. However, China's economy is still improving, and its comprehensive national strength has increased and decreased, making 2008 a key year worthy of writing in contemporary history.

It is true that our country and society are not perfect without any problems, but it is precisely because of its flaws that people expect progress.

In this grand narrative with the country and nation as its blueprint, Qi Ran also flapped his small butterfly wings. The Jinyunshan Economic Conference predicted the world's macroeconomic trend in advance, and gained more time and space for the country to adjust its economic policies.

In September when Qi Ran entered Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School, the US Treasury Department took over Fannie Mai and Freddie Mac. Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank on Wall Street, filed for bankruptcy. The only remaining Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were reorganized into commercial banks. The "Wall Street Investment Bank" that once represented an era that caused the international financial market to turmoil, ended in a sad way on the stage of history.

Zhou Sheng told Qi Ran that as his predictions became reality one by one, doubts about the Jinyunshan Conference, especially the analysis report, had completely disappeared from the mainstream economics community in China. Even though Qi Ran's theoretical level was not at all right, Fang Lao's sentence "We all tried to untie the knot, but he cut off the rope with one sword." He explained everything to him, and even this sentence itself was widely circulated in the high-level circles of the economics community.

If it weren't for Chen Yi and Mr. Fang's special protection, I'm afraid that countless media reporters would have rushed to Dongchuan with long spears and short cannons, and Qi Ran's life would have been a mess.

But it's enough now. The little witch Yun Cangcang was "exiled" to Dongchuan, and seemed to have all the resentment on his head. He made trouble with him all day long. He finally fought back once, but was unlucky to be seen by Song Jianmei.

Yun Cangcang was nothing, so he still acted cute with Qi Ran and then tried his best to trick her; Song Jianmei was different. Because Qi Ran was in the canteen to help her, her impression, which had slowly changed, fell to the bottom again.

Every time they meet, Song Jianmei will open her eyes with high vigilance. Keep a sufficient distance between her and Qi Ran, and her clear eyes clearly state her disgust for the big pervert.

But Qi Ran and Song Jianmei were both in the same class. Every day, they looked up and saw each other. Occasionally, they passed by the aisle. Song Jianmei would step back three steps like being stung by a hornet, so that many students in the class discovered something unusual. Even Wu Jianhao patted his shoulder and asked him quietly what he had done to this little girl.

Lin Yan seemed to be smiling, her eyes glanced at each other, and the cold gaze that came over made Qi Xiaoran feel guilty before she became a thief...

Fortunately, this is just a little bit of a little gaze before the National Day party. The focus of boys and girls is still on the performances at this party. Some people simply like to watch the excitement, some people pay attention to handsome men and beautiful women, and a few who matured early and realized that this performance is also a first-level step in the road of life.

Studying in many county middle schools, as long as you have good grades, maybe the teachers will suppress students' talent development to avoid being distracted and affecting the main course.

But this is the provincial key Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School. The recruitment of students from universities and independent enrollment are both important plus points, not to mention the admission of Beijing Film Academy of Beijing and Guangzhou. If you are interested in studying abroad, universities in developed Western countries also attach great importance to students' performance in this regard.

The courses in No. 1 Middle School seem to be easy, and the first-year high school students are not buried in the sea of ​​writing and questions, but invisible competition is everywhere, and it is more comprehensive and intense. Take this National Day performance for example. Those selected players either practice the piano every day to make their fingers soft, or dance ballet splits and splits down a horse. Even the playboy, Li Tianyi, was once the little dandy bully, was grabbed by his mother and spent time on the violin.

As the National Day approaches, the protagonists selected for the evening party are preparing in full swing. The performance costumes, props, and soundtracks must be prepared in advance. On the surface, they said to their classmates as if nothing had happened, "Actually, I don't care. Just let me go." But in private, they didn't know that the show had been rehearsed many times.

Only Qi Ran was like nothing, and he neither heard him practice singing nor watched him play the violin. Even if it was a crosstalk sketch, he did not see anyone rehearsing with him - others may not know it, Fan Wei and Wu Jianhao knew it well. Fan Wei even suggested that if Qi Ran needed it, even if he was scolded by his classmates in Class 2, he would go out and arrange crosstalk with Qi Ran, but this suggestion was also rejected.

After a few days of waiting, the answer will be revealed tonight.

At 6:30 pm, it was just dark, and the small square in front of the office building was already full. The students brought stools from the classroom and sat in a large area.

Because it was a welcome party, the first-year high school class was at the forefront, and Qi Ran sat in the designated position with his classmates.

"Will he not prepare?" Chen Jingjing muttered in surprise. As a member of the entertainment committee, she was shot in the report program, but the unknown Qiran released the program, which made her very dissatisfied.

Li Yifeng, who is also a loser, curled his lips and said nothing.

The League Secretary Zhang Yuanhang seized the opportunity to provoke: "I see what kind of program Qi Ran will launch this time? "Doraemon", hey, is it a sketch about Doraemon? The Literature and Art Department chose him, it must be for Wang Mengzhen's sake."

"We can't do it ourselves. We can't blame him," Li Yifeng was depressed. Even if there was no Qi Ran, his poem recitation was overwhelmed by Yu Xiaohua, and Chen Jingjing's ballet was indeed not as good as Zhu Xiaodan.

Chen Jingjing was still dissatisfied: "You can't say that. It's his ability to choose him, but if you don't take it seriously, do you still care about the honor of the class?"

Sun Liangyun, who was sitting next to him, had a sharp ear. He frowned when he heard this. He stood up and walked to Qi Ran, and glanced at him angrily: "How are you preparing? You are going to perform on behalf of our class, don't lose your links."

"Absolutely no problem," Qi Ran laughed, no other classmates' awe of the mother Yasha.

Sun Liangyun was a little angry: "Then you get a prize for our class!"

There are twenty programs in the entire evening. At the end, one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes, and four excellent prizes. In total, half of the programs can win the award, so Sun Liangyun's request is not intentionally embarrassing.

But Qi Ran’s appearance not only does not wear makeup, but also a normal sportswear. Where does it look like winning an award?

Qi Ran raised his face and looked at Sun Liangyun: "Don't worry, Teacher Sun, I can't guarantee the first prize. There is still no problem with the second prize,"

"This is what you said yourself. If you didn't win the award, it will affect the collective honor of our class. Just wrap up the cleaning of the classroom next week!" Sun Liangyun finished speaking in a hurry, and glared at him fiercely. He felt that this playboy was too arrogant and ungrateful.

Qi Ran smiled and said, "Okay, the National Day holiday will be on next week."

Sun Liangyun was stunned, her face turned red, and she couldn't say a word, and she returned to her seat with a swelling of anger.

All the students who heard this conversation were overwhelming. It was so funny. During the National Day holiday, the classrooms were not cleaned and they were all in a circle. They actually brought the mother Yasha Sun Erniang into the circle. It was such a shiny life and never needed explanation.

But I am even less optimistic about his performance. If I really have confidence, why should I tell Sun Erniang about it?

Principal Zhang Shusen personally announced the official start of the evening party. The two hosts, male and female, are vice chairman of the student union, Fang Jiaming and the last school beauties Wang Xuerong. The men were wearing suits and the women were evening gowns, which were dazzling under the spotlight.

In Class 2 and 6, Zou Xiaoying accepted the compliments from a group of people with a smug look on her face, because Wang Xuerong is his girlfriend, even if the head teacher stands beside her, it will not affect their high-profile conversations.

Wang Xuerong picked up the microphone: "Teachers and classmates, good evening! It's golden autumn, and another new student has arrived at No. 1 Middle School. We gather together to welcome the birthday of the motherland here!"

Fang Jiaming continued: "In 2008, we experienced the test of earthquake disasters and ignited the Olympic flame in the ancient East!"

The two hosts raised the microphones alternately: "What let us get out of the shadow of disaster is sympathy, mercy, and the love of our compatriots who are thicker than blood; what is conveyed by the Olympic flame is the glorious dream of peace and friendship that belongs to all mankind!"

"There is no boundaries in love, please enjoy the art troupe's selection and delivery program, Lin Yan's piano solo, and Liszt's "Sublime Love"!"
