Bba Bba!
The Peking University students did not want to leave, they continued applauding.
Wu Zeqing, Chang Kaige, and company were also doing the same. They smiled as they clapped along with the students.
No one left the venue. The members from the literary world naturally also stayed. It would be too obvious if they walked off now as the cameras were still recording, so they could only stay behind with everyone else.
“Thank you, everyone, please take your leave.” Zhang Ye clasped his hands together gratefully.
Still, no one left. In fact, the students clapped even louder!
Zhang Ye had nothing else he could do about it, so he said a few more words, “In the 2 classes of yesterday and today, we have spoken in general about how the first 80 chapters on the whole of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ were the original words of Mr Cao Xueqin. I believe my conclusion will be able to convince many people, and even if there are questions or doubts, no one can deny the possibility of what I said. You may use my point of view and direction to go carry out your research and analysis, and I hope that this will help the students and everyone else to understand ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ better, but what I want to express has already mostly been expressed in these 2 classes, so from here on I will not be repeating these points anymore. If we come across it, I might elaborate a little, but it would not be explained in as much detail as it was today. There is no need for purposely repeat it to insist that it is proven and I will be going forward onto other parts.”
