Chapter 317

……

Just as the Huaxia professor said, the American exchange delegation on the other side was already numb one by one as they looked at these identical pronunciations.

From the moment Ye Xuan started writing, Soft’s gaze had not left the characters on the whiteboard.

By the time Ye Xuan finished writing a long string of identical pinyin, Soft felt his entire head spinning.

What on earth is this?!

An identical "tan," repeated for a full twenty times—is this really a sentence?!

Right now, Soft had developed an inconceivable suspicion.

Could Ye Xuan be fooling them?

Could it be that Ye Xuan, in order to defend the dignity of Chinese characters, deliberately fabricated such a headache-inducing sentence?!

Could it be that even Ye Xuan himself has no answer?!

Just as this thought occurred to Soft, he heard the white foreigner beside him blurt out.

"Mr. Ye, this set of pinyin was written randomly by you, right? How could it possibly form a sentence?"

The white foreigner’s words clearly aligned with what Soft was thinking.

One must know that the white foreigner’s attainments in Huaxia culture even exceeded those of many native Huaxia speakers.

Right now, he simply did not believe that these twenty identical pinyin could form a sentence with a complete meaning.

As the white foreigner’s voice fell, the other members of the exchange delegation also voiced their support one after another.

"That's right, Mr. Ye, you shouldn't just be fooling us casually, should you?!"

"You don't even have the answer yourself, do you?"

"In my opinion, this sentence is definitely made up!"

"Can one really use any means necessary just to win?!"

……

Seeing that the remarks of many members of the exchange delegation had escalated to the level of personal attacks, the expression of the Peking University President suddenly darkened.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The expressions of the experts and professors on the side were equally unpleasant.

Ye Xuan was their school's honorary professor.

To mock Ye Xuan was that not the same as indirectly mocking their Peking University?!

At this moment, Ye Xuan, standing in front of the whiteboard, had taken in the expressions of both sides, his own expression remaining calm.

Clearing his throat and looking at the rude white foreigner, Ye Xuan hit back without showing any weakness.

"Mr. Tom, just because you can't do it doesn't mean everyone else can't."

Once these words were out, the white foreigner opposite felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s look of being in control of the situation, the white foreigner also began to doubt.

Could these twenty characters really have an answer?!

Thinking of this, the white foreigner looked back at the pinyin on the whiteboard.

But as he looked, more and more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Sweat slid directly down his face, and he didn't even have the mind to wipe it away.

Time passed second by second.

After another full three minutes, the white foreigner gritted his teeth, still refusing to admit defeat.

"I don't believe it! This sentence must be something you made up!"

Seeing the white foreigner in front of him stiffening his neck and turning red without admitting defeat, Ye Xuan shook his head subconsciously.

Still refusing to admit defeat, are you?!

Then I will let you know why the flowers are so red!

Turning around, Ye Xuan’s voice rang out.

"Let me reveal the answer."

As Ye Xuan spoke, the attention of the entire room was drawn to him.

Soon, everyone saw Ye Xuan write a line of text below the original line of pinyin.

[Greedy officials are terrified of being investigated by the police when they take bribes; selfless police always search for evidence of corruption through legal procedures. When the police uncover evidence of the corrupt officials' crimes, they expose them; the corrupt officials, who were on tenterhooks all day, sigh and collapse to the ground after discovering their affairs have been exposed.]

At the same time, Ye Xuan’s explanation followed.

"Greedy officials are terrified of being investigated by the police when they take bribes; selfless police always search for evidence of corruption through legal procedures.

When the police uncover evidence of the corrupt officials' crimes, they expose them; the corrupt officials, who were on tenterhooks all day, sigh and collapse to the ground after discovering their affairs have been exposed."

When Ye Xuan’s voice fell, the whole room fell into a silence.

The expressions of everyone seemed to be saying silently:

This actually works?! Ten.

Professor Wang from the School of Literature, who was closest to Ye Xuan, was the first to applaud, and now he was smiling like a flower.

"Good!"

Truly worthy of being Mr. Ye!

Once Mr. Ye makes a move, you know if it's real!

The Peking University President’s eyes were already crinkled into slits from smiling.

At this moment, he also joined in the applause, clapping until his hands were sore and red, yet he was reluctant to stop.

"Isn't this a ready-made example of what cannot be expressed by pinyin?! Without Chinese characters, one cannot understand the meaning of this sentence at all!

My Huaxia Chinese characters have a long history; how could they be replaced by mere pinyin?!"

As the President’s voice fell, the experts and scholars beside him felt a sense of pride, and one by one they straightened their backs to support him.

"Exactly! There are so many things that pinyin cannot express; Chinese characters are the foundation of our Huaxia culture!"

"That's right 'six two three'. How can Chinese characters be abolished?!"

"Truly worthy of being Mr. Ye Xuan, he thought of it so easily."

"Yes, I feel like Mr. Ye didn't even use his brain much, just wrote it casually."

……

At this moment, compared to the joy of the Huaxia scholars, the expressions of the American expert exchange delegation on the opposite side were not so good.

The white foreigner noticed the gazes of many companions beside him, and his face turned completely dark.

Although the people around didn't say anything, he clearly felt the condemnation in many people's eyes.

It was as if they were saying, what happened to the "Huaxia expert" you claimed to be?!

Why is this your performance?!

Thinking of this, the white foreigner flushed red and spoke in a fit of pique.

"This one example has no representative value at all! I don't believe you can come up with a second sentence!"

After the white foreigner said this, Soft, the head of the exchange delegation, also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, President Zhang, if there is only such one example, I'm afraid it doesn't have much persuasive power, right?

Pinyin replacing Chinese characters is an inevitable trend; you shouldn't generalize from a single instance, right?!"

Seeing that the American exchange delegation still refused to admit defeat, the Peking University President and the professors were stunned by the thick-skinned nature of this group of people.

Good heavens!

It was clearly you who proposed that pinyin could replace all Chinese characters!

Now that you see pinyin is insufficient to express all Chinese characters, you claim this is just an isolated case?!

This is simply too shameless, isn't it?!

At this moment, the stunned look on everyone’s faces, in the eyes of the white foreigner opposite, only confirmed his previous suspicion even more.

That's right.

The example Ye Xuan just wrote was definitely a case of a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

A lucky hit!

With this, the white foreigner regained some confidence, and his nostrils even tilted slightly upward.

"If you can write a second sentence, then why don't you write it?!
