Wen Yuqing: I was an ordinary good-for-nothing for 17 years. Just as I was about to enter my senior year of high school, my grandfather urged me to change majors and compete in the arts entrance exam.
But then I ran into a group of people like this.
When I wanted to pursue an arts major, they said:
“You want to take the arts entrance exam?”
“You have no money and no looks. What makes you think you can do that?”
“Calligraphy? Isn’t that just writing big characters? Why does it even need its own major?”
After I failed the college entrance exam, they said:
“I told you not to study calligraphy in the first place. You couldn’t get in, so you got what you deserved.”
“I knew you wouldn’t get in. Just go to some vocational college, find a job afterward, and settle down with a husband. That’s all a girl needs to do.”
But I have something to say:
“Why should you get to decide my life so carelessly?”
“I’m going to retake the exam!”
“This time, I’m going to fight for myself!”
It's very interesting. The art exam life is very real. The author keeps writing!
