Livestreaming Nine Years of Compulsory Education, Leaving the Ancients Stunned

Lu Mingye unexpectedly binds himself to the Chinese Cultural Heritage System, and videos of his explanations of language textbooks are somehow broadcast simultaneously onto the sky screens of every dynasty! At first, the ancients find it merely novel. Then Lu Mingye introduces the first text: Kong Yiji. His line, “The imperial examination system devours people,” sends millions of impoverished scholars across the dynasties into a complete breakdown! Next comes Rhapsody on the Epang Palace. The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, sees the spoiler that his dynasty will fall after just two generations and, furious, chases Hu Hai through the palace with a sword! When Lu Mingye teaches Song of the War Chariots, Li Shimin points at Li Longji and curses him out: “You wastrel! You call this the glorious Tang?” When he teaches Jiang Chengzi, Zhao Kuangyin sees how favoring civil officials over the military led to the humiliation of Jingkang and faints on the spot in his imperial throne. But the sky screen is not only a merciless judgment. It is also a salvation that spans a thousand years. Lu Mingye air-drops modern penicillin into the Tang Dynasty, snatching the poet Li He back from death. With a box of high-yield hybrid rice, he spares Du Fu the sorrow of seeing “the bones of the frozen dead along the road.” When the final featured texts, The Heroes Behind the Two Bombs and One Satellite and The Biography of Yuan Longping, light up, the sight of modern China’s great dragon soaring leaves every parallel world utterly shaken! The emperors of every dynasty bow in unison: “This is what a truly prosperous China looks like!”
