Jingxuan and Ruoxi walked hand in hand towards the direction of the School of Humanities. On the paths of the campus, students were busy with their own activities - some chatting and laughing, some walking with focused attention. Everyone was slowly making their way to their respective schools, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the new semester.
Walking under the lush green shade of the trees, the two of them felt the gentle morning breeze and the warm sunlight. The campus scenery was pleasant, full of vitality and vigor. Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the School of Humanities, passed through the towering arch, and headed towards the classroom for the "Introduction to Literature" course.
They walked along the spacious corridor and arrived at classroom 201 on the second floor. This classroom is located next to the office of the Chinese department. It is a spacious and bright classroom with a beautiful view of the campus outside the windows.
When Jingxuan and Ruoxi entered the classroom, they found that it was already filled with many students, and the classroom was filled with a studious atmosphere. They caught a glimpse of Cai Ying and Xiao Ri sitting in the back of the classroom, both of them were looking down at their phones, seemingly discussing an interesting topic.
Jingxuan and Ruoxi found seats next to Cai Ying and Xiao Ri, and the four of them gathered together, adding a special atmosphere of joy to the classroom. Ruoxi curiously asked, "What classes did you guys attend this morning?"
Cai Ying turned around and proudly said, "I attended a multimedia application class." Her tone revealed her interest in the course.
Xiao Ri pouted and made a dissatisfied expression, saying, "It's really super boring, I'm about to fall asleep, I really don't want to go." Her voice carried a hint of exaggerated dissatisfaction.
Cai Ying Half-jokingly retorted, "That's probably because you're a fool." Her words carried a hint of humor and provocation.
This interaction made Jingxuan and Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh. They are used to the lively and humorous interaction between Cai Ying and Xiao Ri. The chat of the four added laughter and joy to the classroom, adding a relaxed and joyful atmosphere to the first class of the new semester.
As the teacher entered, the classroom gradually quieted down, and the four quickly adjusted their mindset, ready to listen and absorb the upcoming literature overview course. They were full of anticipation and curiosity for the knowledge they were about to receive, ready to continue learning and growing in the new semester.
When Professor Lin Chien slowly walked into the classroom, the whole space seemed to quiet down with him. His white hair displayed a wealth of life experiences and depth of knowledge, but his lively eyes and spirited demeanor revealed his passion and vitality for teaching. Wearing a pair of glasses, he always had a gentle smile on his face, giving people a sense of warmth and wisdom.
Professor Lin slowly walked to the platform, casually picked up the microphone, and looked at the students below. His gaze swept around the classroom, then he spoke, "Alright! Let's get ready for class! What have you all been up to this summer? Don't tell me you've all been staying at home." There was a hint of humor and affability in his tone.
The students below heard Professor Lin's question and some began to answer, discussing their summer travels, internships, or special experiences. Professor Lin listened to the students' responses and said with a smile, "Haha! Good! Young people should go out and see more! Don't stay at home all day, wasting your youth, right?" His words were full of encouragement and affirmation, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for the students.
Jingxuan, Ruoxi, Cai Ying, and Xiao Ri couldn't help but smile as they listened to Professor Lin's words. His opening remarks not only dispelled the tension in the classroom but also made the students feel his positive attitude towards life and his care for the students.
After the professor's casual conversation with the students, he immediately transitioned into the formal course content for the day. Standing at the lectern, he scanned the students with his eyes and then posed a thought-provoking question: "What is the definition of literature?" The classroom was instantly filled with a pensive atmosphere as the students each contemplated, attempting to find an answer.
Then, Professor Lin picked up two books from the lectern, one being a popular light novel and the other a classic masterpiece. Holding up the two books facing all the students, he asked, "Think about it, which of these two books is a literary work? And how should we define literature?"
With the question raised by Professor Lin Chien, a wave of contemplation swept through the classroom, gradually enlivening the atmosphere. Students began to discuss and express their views on the definition of literature.
A student sitting in the front row raised her hand and earnestly said, "I believe literature should be works that express thoughts, emotions, and human experiences, transcending the boundaries of time and culture." Her words garnered agreement from some of her classmates.
Another classmate, however, offered a different perspective: "But I think literature can also be a Cai Ying of everyday life, it doesn't necessarily have to be profound. Like these popular light novels, they show us different lives and emotional experiences in a relaxed way."
Professor Lin Chien Listening to the students' discussion, nodded with a smile. He raised the two books in his hand again and said, "It seems that we have different understandings and expectations of literature. But this is the charm of literature, it is both inclusive and diverse. Whether it's a classic masterpiece or a popular novel, they touch our hearts in different ways."
His words sparked more thinking among the students. The discussion in the classroom became more intense, with students exchanging their understandings and feelings about literature. Some students talked about their favorite classic literary works, while others shared the joy and inspiration brought to them by popular novels.
Professor Lin Chien walked slowly around the classroom, carefully listening to each student's remarks. From time to time, he posed guiding questions, encouraging students to think deeply and broaden their horizons.
This kind of interaction makes the whole class full of vitality and depth. Professor Lin Chien's teaching not only imparts knowledge, but also cultivates students' ability to think critically. Through this inspiring dialogue, students begin to re-examine and understand the essence of literature, experiencing the diversity and profound significance of literary works.
