Dream Past

The following is a classic quotation from the teacher Sakuragi Kenji (played by Hiroshi Abe) in "Dragon Sakura" ① (copied). I hope it will be helpful to the readers' learning: 1. When I say "lose", I mean being cheated. If you continue like this, you will be deceived for the rest of your life. This society has rules, and no one can live alone beyond these rules. However, these so-called rules are all made by people with good minds, and they only serve the interests of those people with good minds. On the other hand, if there is something inconvenient or unclear, these people cleverly hide it. However, even among those who follow the rules, there are smart ones who cleverly make use of these rules. For example, welfare systems such as taxes, pensions, insurance and medical systems are all deliberately made difficult to understand by people with good minds, and are set up as traps to make huge sums of money from people who do not want to know and have bad minds. In other words, guys like you who just complain about trouble without any brains will be cheated and forced to pay a lot of money for the rest of their lives. 2. Smart people can avoid being cheated and beat the rules. Idiots will always be deceived and suffer losses. This is the current social system. Let me teach you an easy way: go to Tokyo University to study. So if you don't want to be cheated and continue to suffer losses like this, you can learn from me! 3. You brats don't know anything about society! Rather than saying that you don't know, it's better to say that the adults deliberately kept you from knowing. On the contrary, it is said that you have unknown and infinite possibilities. Rooting baseless and irresponsible delusions into you. Being happy about this and thinking that you will have your own personality and unique life is a big mistake! Society is not this kind of system, but a reality that awaits those who do not know this and are exiled, only to be filled with dissatisfaction and regret. If you don't like this kind of world, just make up the rules yourself. If you don't want to be deceived into living, then learn from me. Only fools and ugly people should go to Tokyo University. 4. You are very unwilling and hate me, right? This is the reality you have to face throughout your life. Otherwise you won't be able to change anything if this continues. Failure is not allowed in this Dongda entrance exam. If you fail, you will regret it. Want to know how to make someone stronger during a fight? The first thing is to know your own weakness. 5. Examination is exercise! The only university that is targeted is Tokyo University. In this world, Tokyo University students are supporting people. And those guys who are dawdling have no chance. 6. When you buy, you are exploited, and when you sell, you are exploited. Only the weak are always exploited. As long as people are useful to others, they cannot escape this maze of exploitation. 7. What can you do to make your life better? The answer is very simple and clear - Dongda! Dongda! Dongda! Examination rights are the only remaining equal rights in today's society. Even if your family is poor, even if you have been a crazy delinquent in the past, as long as you get a passing score in the exam, you can go to a first-class university. If you enter a first-class university, your life can start over. Otherwise, you will carry your worthless self-esteem all your life and achieve nothing! 8. No matter whether you work hard or not, there are no good things in life. In this case, wouldn't it be better not to waste all your efforts? 9. The test is to see whether your score is above the passing line or the admission line. It's that simple. It doesn't make any sense whether you've tried hard enough or not. The most important condition for getting admitted to the University of Tokyo is not being reconciled to the fact that you are not the material to study. 10. Only cramming teaching is real education, and this idea is to be followed as an absolute instruction. What else can education do besides cramming? It must be repeated training, which is to become an "examination machine" and be able to respond instantly. What can you do if there are no rules? There is nothing you can do! 11. The so-called imagination first starts with imitation. Those who think they are old-fashioned are just lazy guys. Listen, if you are unhappy, make achievements to fight back, don't just talk big words. The current situation is that we are at the upper level of the power relationship, so it is up to us to make the rules. If you want to win, you have to be smarter than us. 12. According to the number of questions in the exam and the total time of the questions, the time allocation for each question must be fully considered. What is important for the exam is how to start the idea of ​​​​solving the problem and how to adapt to the rhythm of the exam. In other words, the method of solving the problem must be decided at the beginning. Being able to access so many questions in a short period of time is the meaning of this solution. 13. How to convey your thoughts to others, that is, you must completely stand in the other person's position. In this society, whoever fights first loses, so no matter what happens, don't hit others. 14. In life, there are many moments like this, and the reality is completely opposite to what I originally thought. Whether it's school, company, or love. People only imagine the reality that is good for themselves, and then one day they suddenly realize that this is just a misunderstanding. This is the moment to test your human strength. Now there are only two roads in front of you, one. At this time, you are still hiding in your fantasy, and you have decided to treat this idiot brother's words as anxiety due to exams and forget them completely. Article 2: Although it is painful, recognize the reality, and then grit your teeth again and start over from scratch. 15. This is your life, decide as you like. However, my words are more important than entrusting my dream of entering Tokyo University to others. I will choose to work hard to go to Dongda University. Tokyo University is actually just a university. Anyone can go if they want to. Even this rubbish here is fine. As long as you study as I say, you will definitely be admitted to Tokyo University. Then the moment I was admitted to Tokyo University, trash was no longer trash. 16. Human attention can actually only be maintained for more than an hour. Rest is indeed necessary, but if too much time is used, it will have the opposite effect. What kind of people do you want? From this point of view, you will know what kind of qualified talents the University of Tokyo needs by looking at the exam questions. 17. Most people in society have greatly misunderstood, but in fact, it is those who abide by the rules who are original and unique. In the world of modern science, it is impossible to make great discoveries based on random ideas. Everyone has a good understanding of basic research, and only by adhering to this prudent rule can research progress. Without the spirit of abiding by the rules, there can be no intellectual discoveries. Tokyo University is looking for people like this, so passing the exam questions is asking you whether you are such a person. 18. Listen carefully, the so-called examination is a dialogue, both with the other party and with yourself. Don't forget this. Before the exam starts, you must think like this. 19. The results of the mock test can return the favor. After being admitted to Dongda University, this was not the first time that he had repaid his father. He is swayed by emotional impulses and cannot think about things theoretically, so he has always been an idiot until now. You decide your own life. The so-called exam-taking does not work if someone forces you to study. Are you going to fish and feed them for the rest of your life, or are you going to ignore their difficulties as nothing as soon as they graduate? Rather than fishing for them to eat, it allows them to live on their own. "Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish." 20. A good teacher means that even though students are not good at it now, they still believe that they can do it and give them the minimum support. Next, it depends on the performance of the students. Teachers must not pamper their students, but must also be prepared to overcome the barriers of the past with a little effort. Then let them think by themselves, decide by themselves, act by themselves, and cultivate their self-reliance. Although your statement seems to be full of human warmth, in fact, deep down, you underestimate them and do not recognize their abilities. 21. Speaking of which, we are a community of destiny. This is a world where we cannot do whatever we want. There must be something that will hinder success. Do you know what it is? It's human emotion. Whether you mess up everything because of boring meaning, jealousy, and prejudice, or whether you can transcend this kind of emotion and obtain immediate benefits, this is the key to victory or defeat. Only winning can broaden the road. 22. No matter how you are fooled, no matter how ignored by this society, as long as the results of being admitted to Tokyo University come out, you can pay back everything. Just passing an exam can make a huge change in the surrounding environment. Don't be a fool who loses your interests because of temporary feelings. 23. The same goes for learning, which requires basic learning abilities. If you only look at the top, it's easy to neglect your feet. Now it's time to strengthen your weak points and just do what's natural. The important thing about learning is not the length of learning time, but the density. The schedule must be completed according to the quota. No matter wasting time, start writing. Try to get into the habit of not looking in the dictionary. 24. The result is the result, and the reality is the reality. Use your own eyes to recognize it clearly. When you want to jump high, you always have to squat once to gain elasticity, which will become a powerful spring, a spring that produces a powerful rebound with one fall. 25. What is the most important ability in the exam? That is the ability that applies to all disciplines—the ability to interpret correctly. Interpret the question correctly, correctly understand what the other party wants to express, correctly guess the information hidden behind it, and read it out. Think about why this is the case and why it is that. By always holding such questions, you can develop the ability to interpret correctly. 26. In order for them to truly mature spiritually, what is needed is not a sense of fullness, but a sense of hunger. Let them realize that there is always something lacking, what to do and what to do to fill the void in their hearts, and keep thinking. This kind of time is what the little devils need. 27. Most people preemptively make the opportunities very small. In fact, even for someone who seems so stupid, the possibilities are endless. This possibility refers to the fact that many things can be directly instilled from now on. If you are passionate about something, you have the qualifications to work hard. Such students can exert great power once they concentrate. 28. Being ranked last does not mean that your mind is not good, it just means that compared with others, you are out of touch. Isn't it the same with trumpet playing? You may not be able to play it when you first pick it up. If you like it and continue to practice it, you will become good at it in one breath. It is like the tortoise and the hare. Although it is not good to start without knowing the key, it does not mean that you will lose. Many things are not that you are incompetent, but that you don't have the key to it. The reason is as simple as that. I threw away my dreams and hopes with my own hands. The so-called test-taking, those who endure more pain can win in the end. 29. When parents can no longer protect themselves, they may truly grow up and become sensible. In the past, because my parents seriously planned out their life path, it didn't matter if they didn't take it seriously. My parents would definitely help me when I was in trouble, so don't worry, everyone must be acting like a spoiled child deep down in their hearts. 30. The so-called people are trying their best to survive for their own lives. This alone is enough to do their best. There should be no time to take care of others. If there is someone who is not like this, this guy is either a big fool, a coward who cannot pursue his own dreams, or a hypocrite who can only survive by being called gentle. 31. For those who are accustomed to evil people, persuading them in this way cannot solve the problem. It is useless if they are not allowed to notice and wake up one by one. When you do something for others, your intentions are good at first, and you really feel a sense of superiority and experience some kind of intoxication. In fact, the kind of tenderness without consciousness is what hurts the other party the most. 32. If there is a mountain, there are a hundred roads across it. People think that learning correctly from a good teacher is the best and most convenient way. I didn't even have the courage to challenge, so I thought Dongda was an insurmountable barrier and gave up casually, raised the white flag casually, and had an inferiority complex casually. Successful people are talented because they are ordinary people, and their lives are bound to small and embarrassing situations. 33. There is no barrier that cannot be overcome in this world. Don't have preconceived prejudices about anything that cannot be done. Recall those days when you were unwilling to be treated as a fool, and tomorrow you will take action to defeat these unwillingnesses. The so-called time cannot be turned back, good things and bad things are all accumulated in it. You have studied for a year, whether you are admitted to Tokyo University or not will never change the fact, that is - you have changed! 34. This is the platinum ticket in life that you have obtained through your own efforts. Whether passing the University of Tokyo is really a platinum ticket depends on your future life. In short, now that you have it in your hands, use it as you like. 35. There is always only one correct answer to the entrance exam. If you fail to achieve this only result, you will fail. This is very cruel. But life is different. In life, there are many correct answers, so don't be timid about survival. Don't deny your own possibilities. Listen to me, those who have passed the exam and those who have failed, please hold your heads high and live your life with dignity.

The following are some learning methods in "Dragon Sakura" summarized by a big boss of a certain library. Some of them are helpful to learning, and others... You can look at them dialectically. 1. Mathematics should be based on textbooks and calculate every question in the textbooks. Mathematics is based on formulas. You need to think of them reflexively, and then hit the so-called "problem" ball back (just like a table tennis ball) 2. Mathematics is a "game". If you think it is learning, you will feel disgusted. Rather than solving the problem, it is better to pursue a sense of accomplishment. Once you solve the problem, you will have a feeling of success. 3. Mathematics is a kind of exercise. Practice it repeatedly until it becomes a reflex action! 4. Correct each other's test papers with your peers, and explain the mistakes to each other. 5. To learn mathematics, you must first be exposed to a large number of problems. Therefore, after seeing the problem, start imagining the solution in your mind within three minutes. After three minutes, look at the answer immediately. If the solution to the problem in the answer is consistent with what you think, consider the problem solved. Then look at the next question. If you can't solve it, look at the answer carefully. It doesn't matter if you don't calculate or write, but you can be exposed to many topics in a short period of time. This is the advantage of this approach. 6. You should get used to calculation problems without thinking. The problems in front of you should be solved instantly, mechanically, and with the feeling of a game! 7. Basic calculation questions must have full marks, no compromise! 99 Points for a wrong answer is the same as 0 points, no compromise! 8. Application questions should start with the longer ones. The longer the questions, the more conditions are provided and the fewer parts you have to think about. 9. Get used to application questions by setting them yourself. Questions do not fall from the sky, but are thought out by humans and designed for problem solvers! 10. While teaching others, you can also make yourself understand knowledge in more detail. From different standpoints, you can be more optimistic and self-disciplined. 11. Single-digit calculations or estimates can make checking calculations easier and more accurate. Working hard in this area will not only make more time available, but also increase the accuracy of problem solving. 12. Use a detailed question bank with questions and answers bound separately. Answers printed separately are better and more detailed. 13. Try to do as many medium-level math problems as possible, at least three or four every day. Once you are familiar with them, your foundation will be solid. You don't have to do too many difficult problems. 14. For the math test, the drawings must be accurate and don't be impatient because there are many questions. Draw accurate graphs and the answers will be clear at a glance. 15. Use repeated practice of basic questions to cultivate concentration. Basic learning such as calculations is to practice a question repeatedly to train concentration and patience by shortening the answer time. Leave more line spacing and white space to make it easier to view the solution. If the line spacing is too narrow, numbers such as fractions will be difficult to identify, so you need to develop the habit of writing expressions. 16. Use the beauty of a stylist to make calculations neat and beautiful, and mathematical calculations should also pursue beauty. Be careful and write it neatly to speed up the calculation. 17. In normal times, you must fully consider the time allocation for each question. What is important for the exam is how to start solving the problem. In other words, the method of solving the problem must be decided at the beginning. 18. Instead of memorizing ten new words every day, it is better to read 70 words over and over again every day to deepen your impression. This will make it more ingrained in the memory. Keep a journal to practice your English composition and use the words you learn every day. 19. When reading English, try not to stop and look up the dictionary halfway. Most English sentences are formed by changing the form of words and combining them. When consulting the dictionary, read the examples together with the examples. They are all correct, and some are even ideal articles. 20. There are only two ways to improve English. First, don't be shy to speak English, and then fall in love with it. Don't be afraid of embarrassment, speak English openly! 21. Don't start learning English with words and grammar, start with memorization first! Instead of passively reading English, it is better to bite the bullet and write an essay. 22. Grammar and long articles should be done in the first forty-five minutes. English is not difficult, but time allocation can affect your score. English depends on the non-listening time. During this time, you can solve long articles and read comprehension that can really score points. What's more, if you can start writing English compositions, it will be no problem. 23. Pay attention to the topic sentence in the English paragraphs. Each paragraph has a key point. The sentence that reveals the key point must be carefully translated and understood. You must think in terms of the structure of English itself and remember the usage of basic verbs such as take, have, and do. Write a collection of example sentences based on the words yourself, and the results will be great if you practice them repeatedly. 24 The foundation of Chinese language must be cultivated by reading more, and cultivating the reading ability to read the hidden sounds and read the hidden sounds. Only in this way can the content and the author's intention be correctly grasped. You should not stop thinking and underline what looks like key words when reading ancient texts. 25. The elimination method starts with finding the wrong options and derives the correct answers. Options that contain strong negatives, extreme claims, and emotional factors are all wrong. 26. Drawing a picture of history can make connections between various pieces of knowledge, which can help the brain be faster and more flexible. History should be read from back to front. The most important thing in history is the causal relationship. Go back to the source and think about why this happened. It reads more effectively. 27. For memorization, read it before going to bed, but don't stay up late to convert the knowledge to be remembered into long-term memory. When going to bed, in order not to forget what you read easily, you must sleep well at night. Fixed wake-up time, the brain is fully functional three to four hours after getting up... Get up at six o'clock. 28. When reading textbooks, you are not allowed to scratch with a pen or dirty your notes. Using strokes on key points will not help memory, because it will make people (the brain) think that they have done some work or study, and their mentality will be relaxed. Keeping the textbook blank can make you feel uneasy about not finishing the book and motivate yourself to read. Keeping it blank also keeps it fresh. No matter how many times you reread it, you will be willing to try again. If you really want to leave a lasting impression of what you read, just write it down in your notebook! When you move your hands and think at the same time, your brain will be more flexible. Brain and hand movements can make the brain more active through writing movements, dozens of times better than methods that rely on visual memory. 29. Repeated practice can effectively deepen repeated memory. Instead of challenging difficult problems, it is better to practice a few simple and obvious questions repeatedly to strengthen basic abilities and improve the level of logical thinking. Even if you encounter difficult problems, you can answer them easily. 30. Always ask why and hone your thinking skills. 31. You can develop the habit of thoughtful thinking, exercise your thinking ability, use different learning methods to solve problems, and change multiple ways of thinking. 32. Fill each day with daily output and set specific outputs for each subject. Really hitting your goals every day. 33. The so-called test-taking, those who endure more pain can win in the end. The exam is a dialogue, both with the person who asked the question and with yourself. 34. People who consume all their attention will be eliminated from now on. Post review papers on English vocabulary, history and ancient Chinese on the walls, post them on the toilet, and on the back of the mobile phone. Even if it is only for a moment, don't relax your brain at all. 35. People who are passionate about something have the qualifications to work hard. Such students can exert great power once they concentrate. 36. Do you know how to make a person strong? You must first understand how small you are. 37. People who have never suffered setbacks are easily knocked down. Hit the wall, hit the wall, and then overcome it, so that people will be strong and can thrive. 38. In exams, the people around you are not enemies. The exam is actually a struggle with yourself. 39. Forgetting is not because you are stupid. The human brain is easy to forget. So remember it over and over again. 40. The so-called examination questions do not fall from the sky. It was created by people for people who want to solve problems. On the other hand, you will know what kind of person you want after reading the question. 41. If you want to practice listening, don't listen to English. The word "don't listen" here means that as long as you get full marks, even if you listen to English again, it will be the same as listening to chanting sutras. In fact, most of the brain has rested. If you want to practice your listening skills, you actually need to read immediately after listening. In other words, learning centered on "following reading" is the most correct relative to the brain structure. 42. The math test is a struggle against time. After the question paper is distributed, read all the questions first. Find the questions that seem easiest to solve, then assume the steps and think about the best order to solve them. 43. If you really want to do something, you can definitely do it, but there are various reasons why you just don't do it... These are just excuses for losers!

The tutorial on the mini-game Liumen'er/Liuzi Chongqi mentioned in the novel "Dream Past" is as follows (I really tried my best everyone): 1. The Liumen'er chessboard (nine squares) and the initial layout of the chess pieces are roughly as follows: ╔—┯—┯—╗ ③-╋-╋-╋-╢ ❸—❹—❺—❻ (Liumener chessboard) (Initial layout of the chessboard) 2. The example of capturing the opponent's pieces in the chess game is as follows (capturing the white piece ①): ╔—┯—┯—╗ → ╔—┯—┯—╗ ╟—①—╋—╢ → ╟—╋—╋—╢ ╟—❶—╋—╢ → ╟—❶—╋—╢ ╚—┷—❷—╝ → ╚—❷—┷—╝ 3. In the following situations, if Black takes the lead, you can choose to move the piece ❷ to the left and capture the white piece ①. ╔—④—⑤—╗ → ╔—④—⑤—╗ ①—╋—╋—② → ╟—╋—╋—② ❶—╋—╋—╢ → ❶—╋—╋—╢ ╚—❷—❸—╝ → ❷—┷—❸—╝ 4. Similarly, if White moves first, he can move the piece ④ to the left and capture the Black piece ❶. ╔—④—⑤—╗ → ④—┯—⑤—╗ ①—╋—╋—② → ①—╋—╋—② ❶—╋—╋—╢ → ╟—╋—╋—╢ ╚—❷—❸—╝ → ╚—❷—❸—╝ 5. If White moves the piece ④ first in the following situation, then: ╔—④—⑤—╗ → ④—┯—⑤—╗ ①—╋—╋—② → ①—╋—╋—② ❶—╋—╋—｜ → ❶—╋—╋—╢ ❷—┷—❸—╝    →    ❷—┷—❸—╝ ：，，， 6. Similarly, if Black moves the piece ❷ like this, he cannot capture the white piece ①: ❸—④—⑤—╗ → ❸—④—⑤—╗ ①—╋—╋—② → ①—╋—╋—② ❶—╋—╋—╢ → ❶—╋—╋—╢ ╚—❷—┷—╝ → ❷—┷—┷—╝ 7. Finally, there is the special mechanism of this game - "two shots with one shot" or "two birds with one stone". At this time, Black only needs to move piece ❸ one step upward to kill White's two pieces ④ and ⑤ at the same time. Very nice! ╔—④—┯—╗ → ╔—┯—┯—╗ ╟—❶—╋—╢ → ╟—❶—╋—╢ ❷—╋—⑤—╢ → ❷—❸—╋—╢ ╚—❸—┷—╝ → ╚—┷—┷—╝
