Continuing from the previous text, the story resumes. The "dog relying on human power" Yu Guokaihui is thriving, forcibly unifying Liu Cheng, a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Du Ping from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts into a "cultural unification." They almost pressured people from the Guangdong region to use their dialect in class. The process of allowing students to apply for external training and find suitable studios to sign up for intensive training is not as smooth as you and I imagine. What kind of stories happened during this time? In this issue, let’s detail it together with you and me.

It was mentioned earlier that Liu Cheng, an alumnus of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, dealt with students who were late, left early, or skipped classes without mercy, picking up a slender bamboo stick and hitting the students repeatedly. Among them was a student named Li, who is often mentioned in the serialized novel "Hu Yiming," frequently skipping classes and leaving early with a student surnamed Hu from Cangwu, Yunan, to a small Italian-style restaurant in Jiangnan, ordering a meal and continuously drinking the beverages they provided until the staff closed up. Li Yongheng was not immediately sent by his father to the Huangcun Sun Li studio, but rather Liu Cheng and Du Ping focused more on his attitude and state in class. However, when Yu Kaihui began to act like a "dog relying on human power," Li Yingqiang, who trusted Yu Guo, wanted to understand the academic painting style. Seeing how things ended up, he could only have Yongheng carry his painting tools and easel into Li Yingqiang's office, supervised by his father.

Although the parties involved were very close to me, they kept quiet about the extremely negative matters, as the old studio teacher was still employed by the 76th Middle School. Therefore, they shared their observations with us while also strengthening the competitive awareness of those of us going out for training, establishing a sense of rivalry with classmates. Later, Huang Xiaoyun, who has always been a champion of fairness, came to the Yixuan studio to stir up trouble. Although Huang Xiaoyun did not stay at the school and was not in the same studio as me, many classmates in the studio were not only from the same class but also had middle school classmates and alumni here. What was originally a casual reunion unexpectedly turned into a discussion about this matter, as the Guangdong saying goes, "talking about others behind their backs, you never know who will hear it."

After some time, Li Yingqiang, who became the principal, was busy with his own affairs and had no time to care about the poor, skinny boy. He spent money to transfer Li Yongheng to a studio far away in Huangcun, founded by a person surnamed Sun from the Central Plains, to participate in intensive training. Later, during an adult oath ceremony organized by our school's senior class, I learned about this matter when he was late and found out from his classmates. When he arrived at school, Li Yongheng first vaguely mentioned this matter to me, especially when I swore in front of him.

As the son of the vice-principal, this decision, although it had a very negative impact, was ultimately Li Yingqiang and Yu Kaihui lifting a stone to smash their own feet. Initially, they encouraged students to stay at school, and even those going out for training were constantly advised to return to school. Now that Li Yongheng is going out, it is undoubtedly too late to change. However, Li Yongheng can narrate the story from a student's perspective, while his father, Li Yingqiang, besides being the principal, is also a parent. If a parent learns that the school has hired teachers from a Beijing studio to teach the graduating class, they would definitely want to save money and keep their child at school. But now, it has become chaotic like the Seven Kingdoms; if there is enough money, they will apply to go out, and if not, they will stay at school. Ultimately, the school does not want students to fail in the exams.

The school should feel fortunate that when Li Yongheng went out, his classmates did not flock to follow him. Only Lei Xinjian went out to the Yixuan studio where I was, and later, her then-boyfriend Huang Sijun came to Yixuan just before the exams. Lei Xinjian also mentioned in her spare time that Li Yongheng went out first, but whether his final results significantly helped with the choices made during that time remains unknown.
