In the first mock exam in early April, Sun Xiaoyang's total score was less than 400 points, which was about 80 points away from the admission score line of the cultural class of the target school. Sun Xiaoyang is a senior at a middle school in Fangshan District, Beijing. Previously, he took the Beijing Municipal Art Joint Examination and scored 195 points, exceeding the score line by 15 points. According to the formula of "comprehensive score of art undergraduate = score of art unified examination÷ 300×750×50% + ×50% of the score of the college entrance examination culture class", his cultural class needs to take 40 more points to reach the score line of the ideal university.
Look at the time, there are less than 70 days to go to the college entrance examination, 40 points how to make up, Sun Xiaoyang began to regret, he knew that he would not go to the art exam training, not only fell in vain for three months of cultural classes, but also was involved in the joint examination "cheating" incident.
In the 2021 Beijing Municipal Art Joint Examination, the teachers of the New Youth Art School in Fangshan District, Beijing (hereinafter referred to as "New Youth") first let the students pass out the "examination questions" by taking pictures, and then took pictures of the "answers" step by step to the students in the examination. After the "cheating" incident was reported, the principal of the new youth, Liu Shuai, the principal of the new youth, Ren Qi, the teacher Zhu Min, Li Hailong, and Deng Liang, were taken away for investigation.
On February 1, 2021, the Fangshan District Education Commission issued a "Notice of Suspension of Enrollment and Training" to the new youth, saying that the new youth were suspected of participating in illegal acts and suspending the enrollment and training behavior.
An audio recording obtained by a reporter from the parents of the students who reported the incident to the Fangshan District Education Commission showed that the Fangshan District Education Committee confirmed that in the December 2020 Beijing Art Joint Examination, the new youth did have "cheating" behavior and was suspected of criminal offenses. At the same time, the reporter also confirmed from another relevant law enforcement department that the "cheating" of the new youth is true, and the investigation is still in progress.

Art Joint Examination "Packaged"
The decision to study fine arts was rushed. After being admitted to high school, Sun Xiaoyang's grades have not been very good, but he also wants to go to undergraduate, and under the measurement of left and right, he decided to study art and pass the art examination to go to college. In his mind, after passing the art exam, when the college entrance examination is taken, the score line of the culture class will be reduced accordingly. "How many points can be dropped depends on the results of the art test." It may be a dozen points, it may be a few tens, or even a hundred points. Chen Xuechao, a teacher who has been engaged in art teaching, told reporters that this is also an important reason why many students are willing to participate in art examinations.
After knowing that Sun Xiaoyang wanted to learn art, a classmate in the same class told him that a local training institution called the New Youth Art Training School had an art training course specifically for the joint examination, regardless of whether there was a foundation or not, as long as he participated in the intensive training for three months, the art joint examination of that year was "packaged".
Sun Xiaoyang was moved, he pulled his mother together to the new youth "inspection", the teacher who received them clearly said, "As long as you participate in the training and listen carefully to the lessons, the joint examination can pass." Perhaps in order to make his statement more convincing, the teacher specially emphasized "wrapping over". Therefore, after paying nearly 40,000 yuan, Sun Xiaoyang became a member of the new youth 2021 art joint examination training class.
At that time, Sun Xiaoyang did not know that the so-called "package" was not that the teacher could raise the level of the student to the level of passing the examination in a short period of time, but that it needed to be achieved by means of "cheating".
It is precisely because the new youth claims to be "wrapped up" that many students are willing to go to the new youth to study. The mother of Wang Zimu, a new youth student, said, "The leaflets sent out by the new youth at that time were written as wrapped. She said it was because they saw "wrapped up" on the leaflets and got assurances from the teachers when they went to the school for consultation that they chose the new youth.
According to public information, Beijing New Youth Art School was established in 2003 as a professional art college entrance examination, art entrance examination, and children's art integration education and training school. On September 8, 2010, New Youth pioneered the protocol class.
The August 2020 enrollment brochure of the new youth reads, "Under the condition of retaining the individuality of students, according to the university that students want to enter, targeted teaching is carried out." Ensure that students are 100% admitted to their ideal university." The new youth said that "choosing the new youth is equivalent to choosing 100% double insurance for undergraduates", and stressed that "signing an agreement is not a refund".
Among them, the elite class of the Academy of Fine Arts of 5-10 people is aimed at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, Gome, and local Academy of Fine Arts, taking into account the joint examination of each province, with a fee of 69,800 yuan.
The boutique class of 15-20 people, for Beijing Printing Institute, Beijing Normal University, China Drama Academy and other key colleges, requires students to have a certain foundation, charging 49800 yuan.
The comprehensive class of 20-30 people, for the joint examination of provinces and cities across the country, focuses on students who are relatively weak in cultural classes and professional courses, and charges 31,000 yuan.
In addition, the enrollment brochure also clarifies that in 2020, the pass rate of the new youth provincial graduates will be 100%.

Buy an Apple Watch before the exam
In September 2020, Sun Xiaoyang was in his third year of high school. But he was supposed to study culture classes at school, but he took a three-month leave to participate in the art training of the new youth.
The training period is from September of that year to before the joint examination, eating and living in the new youth, every ten days off. Classes start at 9 a.m. every morning, end at 12 p.m., and have an hour of breaks for lunch at noon and one hour in the afternoon. "The practice is the three courses of color, drawing and sketching to be tested in the joint examination."
Because it is completely zero foundation, after a month of study, Sun Xiaoyang felt that it was really difficult, he was very distressed, so he went to find his own teacher, the teacher comforted him, as long as the class does not sleep, usually do not skip class, practical painting, the joint examination is certainly no problem. But Sun Xiaoyang is still worried that the level is there, in case the exam is not passed, and the cultural class is delayed for such a long time, the desire to take the undergraduate exam will be disappointed.
After synthesizing the situation of all parties, Sun Xiaoyang chose a backup plan for himself - to enroll in advance, although there is no need to take the college entrance examination, but in this way, you can only go to a specialty, and there is no way to go to undergraduate. Perhaps because of the retreat, Sun Xiaoyang felt much more relaxed, and in the following days, he began to seriously follow the teacher to "paint".
"It's how the teacher draws, how we draw, how he grades, how we tune, and the steps must be completely consistent." Sun Xiaoyang imitated very seriously, but the closer he got to the exam, the more nervous he became, afraid that he would "fail the exam."
About 10 days before the exam, the teacher asked everyone to buy an Apple Watch, and also sent the purchase link into the student group, when Sun Xiaoyang was chatting with his classmates, when he saw this information, the classmates said to him, "It is best to buy a watch that can hold a mobile phone card, so that it is not only convenient to take pictures of the exam questions out of the examination room, but also convenient to receive pictures sent back by the teacher." The classmate also told him that if he bought a watch, he could contact the teacher privately.
For the teacher's request to buy the Apple Watch before the exam, many new young students have confirmed it. Zhang Xiaohu's mother said that a week before the exam, When Zhang Xiaohu came home, she told her that the teacher of the new youth asked them to buy an Apple watch each, "only said it was useful, not what it was for." After thinking about it again, Zhang Xiaohu's mother did not buy a watch for her son. Wang Xiaolong's mother also confirmed that Wang Xiaolong had said that the teacher let them buy watches before the exam.
In those days, Sun Xiaoyang had also been struggling with whether to buy a watch according to the teacher's request, and finally he gave up. The reason he gave was that his family had spent tens of thousands of dollars on training him in art, and he was really embarrassed to open his mouth and ask the family for money to buy a watch, "It is true that some students who have been training together have bought watches and have made various preparations." ”

Paintings transmitted from outside
On December 5, 2020, the day of the 2021 Beijing Municipal Art Joint Examination, Sun Xiaoyang got up very early, he ate breakfast, checked the various tools needed for the exam, and set off.
It was still early in the school, and he became familiar with the surrounding environment and entered the examination room. He noticed that there were about 20 test takers and 4 invigilators in his exam room, and there was a gap between the test takers.
At 8:30 a.m., the exam starts on time, the first exam is color, the exam question is a black and white photo, there are randomly placed basketball and guitar, let the candidates draw a color picture within three hours, requiring the position of the basketball and guitar to be placed reasonably, the color matching is comfortable, and the proportion of the two items is coordinated.
Sun Xiaoyang was confused, the most painted during the training was fruit and jars, and it was really a little difficult for him to draw a guitar. Zhao Chenxi also felt that the exam questions were somewhat difficult, "I have not practiced drawing guitars in normal times, but when I take the exam, I have to consider the position and the color." Zhao Chenxi was not in a hurry to write, he thought about it clearly before starting.
Art teacher Su Wenqing introduced to the deep reporter that for students who study art by surprise, the difficulty of the joint examination in 2021 is indeed not small. Su Wenqing's students also participated in the joint examination, "From a professional point of view, the color examination is to test the students' color matching ability and judgment combination ability." He said that fine art is not just about painting, but also about matching and designing.
Three hours passed quickly, and Zhao Chenxi finally completed the painting within the stipulated time. Finding the mobile phone handed in, Zhao Chenxi came out of the examination room, ready to go to dinner first, and then conduct the afternoon exam. WeChat has unread information, click to see, is the new youth student group, a lot of information, very lively, turn up, he froze, there is a photo in the group, it is a completed painting of the color exam that day. The sender is the teacher of the new youth, and the sending time is about an hour after the start of the test.
He immediately thought of the new young teacher's request to "buy a watch" before the exam, "that is, a classmate took a picture of the exam question to the teacher, and after the teacher drew it, he passed it back." ”
Sun Xiaoyang did not see the picture in the group, and after he left the examination room, he kept wondering if there was anything wrong in his morning exam. Until he met the students who participated in the training together, he did not know that some students had taken the exam questions and received the pictures sent back by the teacher to complete the color exam.
After the afternoon exam, Zhao Chenxi did not see photos related to the exam in the group. He thought that only the morning color exam had someone "cheated". But Sun Xiaoyang knew that after sketching and sketching, some students took pictures of the exam questions and passed them out of the exam room, and received the "answer" photos sent back by the teacher, thus completing the whole exam.
Some parents confirmed that after the incident, they had gone to the Fangshan Education Commission to report the situation, and the Fangshan District Education Committee admitted that in the December 2020 Beijing Art Joint Examination, the new youth did have "cheating" behavior and was suspected of criminal offenses.
Zhang Xiaohu's mother said that in the afternoon, after Zhang Xiaohu returned home, he mentioned that some classmates used watches and other communication tools to "cheat", and in his words, he complained about his mother and did not buy a watch for himself. This made Zhang Xiaohu's mother angry, "How can the school teach children to complete the exam by cheating." ”
Zhang Xiaonan almost failed to pass this exam, and her mother knew that many students passed because of "cheating", and she was very angry, "If it wasn't for their cheating, maybe my child would have passed." ”
Lin Wenyan, a homeroom teacher at a middle school in Fangshan, told reporters that at the end of November 2020, her students told her that the teachers of the new youth let them buy Apple Watches, wear them during the joint examination, and also hinted at them that they had bought a watch "packaged". Seeing that the students were a little moved, Lin Wenyan asked him not to participate, "At that time, I thought that if something happened, it would be a big thing." ”
In a word. After the joint examination, the student told her that the new youth joint examination did cheat. "He said that some students took pictures of the exam questions with their watches and passed them to the teacher who was on standby outside, and after the teacher drew it, he sent the photo to the students step by step, but there was a picture that did not know why it was sent into the large group of students, and it was seen by many students."
What Lin Wenyan did not know was that the photo that was sent into the group was reported by the parents of the students. Soon after, Lin Wenyan learned that many teachers had "gone in" because of the cheating incident, "I told my students that if there is a police officer to investigate this matter, we must tell the truth and not hide anything." ”
How cheating is done
One day in late January, Zhao Chenxi suddenly found dozens of WeChat messages on his mobile phone looking for him, "ask me if I know if the new youth is in trouble", and told Zhao Chenxi that the principal and several teachers of the new youth have been taken away to investigate. Zhao Chenxi immediately remembered the picture posted in the group, he flipped through the circle of friends of the new youth principal Ren Qi, and found that since January 8, Ren Qi had not updated the circle of friends.
Although he has studied art for nearly two years, Zhao Chenxi bluntly said that he has never understood how sketching and sketching should be "cheated", "Art is very subjective, and it is not like a fixed answer in a culture class." Because the color of the items that everyone sees is different. ”
"The hardest thing is probably color grading." This is also Zhao Chenxi's most fearful, how to adjust the color out, whether to put black first, or white first, when to put red, etc., is a difficult point for students.
According to the art teacher Su Wenqing, after the test questions are obtained, the teacher can judge at a glance how the real color of the object and the picture need to be handled, "how to compose the picture when painting, how to match, in order to make the color more coordinated and good-looking." Su Wenqing said that after the teacher draws it, the students only need to imitate it. Color grading will usually be taught, such as a color, when grading first add which color, and then add which color, will focus on practice, "look at the photo may produce a certain error, but the difference will not be too large." ”
Su Wenqing said that during the exam, each student's paint box is marked with numbers, which color to use first, which color to use later, at a glance, "When sending photos step by step, students see that the teacher first used a few colors, and then used a few colors." "According to years of training experience, if the teacher can take the 98 points, it is no problem for the students to imitate the test to 80 points."
In the joint examination of fine arts, sketching examines the modeling ability and the relationship between black, white and gray, in professional terms, that is, through black and white gray on paper to reflect a virtual, three-dimensional space, three-dimensional head portrait. "In the previous joint examination, the sketch was to draw only one head, but in the 2021 exam, not only did it have an avatar, but also added hands. Many students have not practiced, they are very panicked, do not know how to swing the hand, where to put it appropriately. Su Wenqing said that at this time, the role of the teacher is highlighted, "If you follow the steps, then the first step, composition, is how to paint; the second step, how to find the block; the third step, how to color; the fourth step, how to shape the details." Draw them separately step by step, and then send photos of each step to the students. After these are completed, how to fill in the specific details, students can grasp it themselves. ”
In fact, in this joint examination, the difficulty of sketching has also increased, from one person sketching to two people sketching. The original test was a person's standing or sitting posture, but this year's addition of a person has led to many students not being able to write, "Mistakes are inevitable, and low scores are also possible." Su Wenqing said, but if the teacher is quick, he can use a pencil or charcoal to directly shape an outer outline." For example, how big the head is, how big the body is, how long the legs are, how long the arms are, etc., these virtual ratios are cut for three or five minutes, even if the time to upload pictures is added, it will not be 10 minutes, so that students still have plenty of time to imitate the outline drawings given by the teacher. ”
Wang Zimu's mother especially regretted it, and she knew that she had used cheating to achieve "wrapping up", then she would definitely not let her children go to the new youth to learn art, "wasted a few months, or did not pass the exam." ”
Sun Xiaoyang has always been very uneasy, he does not sleep well, it is easy to wake up. He studied with unprecedented vigor, listened carefully to lectures every day, completed the homework assigned by the teacher on time, and wanted to desperately chase back the time wasted in three months, hoping to get into the ideal university.
