The college entrance examination arrived, recalling the "extracurricular book defense war" of those years

Today is the first day of the 2023 college entrance examination.

After saying goodbye to our student days, we have the freedom to spend our time and no longer have to "read secretly", but we find it difficult to reproduce the immersive happiness mixed with a hint of tension.

The latest magazines bought at the newsstand at the school gate, the serialized comics brought to the class to share with classmates, the novels hidden under the exercise book in self-study class, the famous books that have been confiscated and are not recommended by the Ministry of Education...

That time was the time when we burned our "extracurricular book defense".

When I first entered the evening self-study hall of high school, I watched "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and the first time I thought a famous book was so interesting, it was confiscated, and the teacher took me to the office to talk about it. Later, the school issued a textbook for career planning, and I casually turned a page, with a picture of the two discussing famous books, and the textbook also encouraged everyone to learn from them...

RUN--FLY:

A few days ago, I watched the Mai family's "Dark Calculation" in the class, and it was confiscated! I took this time and was discovered

The teacher asked who do you want to secretly count?

ʀʏᴏᴜ：

I remember the evening self-study hall on the eve of the college entrance examination, I was watching "Relief Grocery Store", and Keigo Higashino's latest work published that year was this (Age Exposure Series). At that time, the same table was reading web literature with MP4, and the evening self-study teacher stared at our part, I thought the teacher was watching me, but it turned out to be me at the same table.

Leng Ruomeng:

I've been in contact with a math teacher in elementary school, and she loves to read. The teacher said that when she went to work at school, she set up a large bookcase in the school dormitory with a lot of books, and I always wanted to see her room. The Chinese teacher at the time borrowed one of my books and didn't return it...

My beloved book must be kept in an absolutely neat place! As a result, "Checkmate Qing" and "Summer, Fireworks and My Corpse" were confiscated by the dormitory management, as well as my favorite "White Night Walking". Before the dormitory bookshelf was full of books, now there are only four famous books...

Dormitory manager: This kid, how do you always take the books I want to read.

Let the Chinese teacher go to the boarding teacher to help you come back!

Perhaps if we switch the perspective from students to teachers, we will indeed find that the teachers confiscated our books back then, not only so that students can focus more on their studies, but also because they just want to read this one! Just like in "Reboot Life", Mita Sensei returned the confiscated game console to Asami, and Asami found that the game console was not only well preserved, but even had already been played by the teacher.

Japanese drama "Restart Life"

There are also moments when the teacher doesn't want to accept the book!

Studying Chinese in the evening tour of the classroom, I found a student looking down at a drawer. Walking up to the student, he was still engrossed in reading the book in his hand, seemingly too fascinated to even notice that danger (not) was approaching him.

Take a closer look, the book in the student's hand is Ge Fei's "Human Face Peach Blossom". I read this book as a freshman in Chinese department, and after all these years, I still remember the famous beginning of the novel - "Father came down from the attic." ”

The students apparently have not yet discovered the "teacher who came down from the podium".

The first-year student in high school has already begun to look at Gefei, although he is not "learning language" at the moment, but who can say that "reading Gefei" cannot be regarded as "learning language"?

Finally, I couldn't bear to interrupt, pretended not to see anything, and walked away silently (also for the sake of this student's Chinese score is still good~)

Woody Allen's autobiography Meaningless contains this passage: "I am not ashamed to admit - I don't like to read... In school, they never know how to introduce you to reading so that you learn to enjoy it. The books and stories they chose were dull, boring, and lacked character. ”

In this way, in the stage of receiving collective education at school, we have seen sewing needles to "secretly read" us, and we are all lucky children who have mastered the ability to enjoy reading without a teacher! Before the world opened to us, the books were like small windows that we looked out over the rim, exposing our minds one step ahead of our bodies to complex and diverse possibilities.

Were you ever confiscated by your teachers in middle school?
