CHAPTER 54

Chapter 54

    Unlike the previous preliminaries, semi-finals and even the provincial semi-finals, there were spectators in the audience of the provincial competition.

    As the first person to take the stage, both the judges and the audience had great expectations for Ming Xia's performance.

    Obviously, Ming Xia's performance was excellent and did not disappoint them, especially those who watched the video or the scene of the "Light of Hope" English Talent Contest in previous years were even more pleasantly surprised.

    This girl can actually play shadow puppets! It was really the first time for them to see the elements of national style in this kind of English competition, let alone the traditional skills of Huaguo!

    Immediately, everyone's mental heads rose, and they couldn't help but began to look forward to the second session of Mingxia.

    However, the provincial competition refers to the national competition, and the contestants are on stage in groups, and each link is displayed in order.

    Therefore, now, regardless of the judges or the audience, they can only score and watch the following contestants patiently.

    It’s just that…

    with pearls and jade in front, who can force themselves to like tiles?

    Fortunately, in order not to let the judges forget the performances of the previous contestants, the number of contestants in each group was arranged to be small. Under everyone's anxious anticipation, they finally waited for the second session, and Ming Xia was the first contestant to take the stage again.

    The second link is the propositional speech, divided into picture questions and text questions, ten for each. Contestants have a total of one and a half minutes, half a minute for preparation, and the remaining one minute for speeches. The topics are selected on the spot to ensure absolute fairness.

    As for luck and unluckiness, this is the gap between sufficient and insufficient personal preparation, or in other words, there is a difference in strength in essence. After all, English, like Chinese, is a language that relies on accumulation and practice. If you are not good at it, you will never speak about it. It does not mean that you are good at it and you cannot make mistakes.

    The topic Ming Xia drew was the picture topic, a photo of a mural, which depicted a deer and several people on horseback, with a dense jungle in the background. At first, the deer looked calm, but later, it appeared to be running away.

    In the upper right corner of the photo, there are three simplified Chinese characters "Nine-Colored Deer". Obviously, this is a mural telling the story of "Nine-Colored Deer".

    Coincidentally, earlier, Ming Xia read Mr. Xing Yitian's thesis collection "Painting as the Voice: Pictorial Stones, Pictorial Bricks and Mural Paintings", which mentioned mural paintings. She checked the relevant information while reading it, and happened to find Mo Gao The cave murals contain the story of "nine-colored deer".

    Once the story of "Nine-Colored Deer" is told, nine out of ten people know it. After all, this is a story included in primary school textbooks, and it is classic enough that it is also mentioned in many fairy tales.

    But when it comes to the creation and origin of "Nine-Colored Deer", how many people know that it is related to Mogao Grottoes?

    Ming Xia likes the proposition that he can talk about what he is interested in.
