## History

### **College Entrance Examinations Arc**

He is part of the Chinese Literature question setting team for the Beijing college entrance examinations and was one of the teachers who didn't welcome Zhang Ye when Yu Fan announced that he would be joining the team.

Later, he and the other Chinese Literature question setters were speechless when they saw the questions Zhang Ye proposed for the college entrance exams due to how wondrous they were.

He later represented the male team in the poetry contest during the celebratory feast. He and a few of the Chinese Literature team teachers felt that Zhang Ye's literary standards have been deified too much by people so they wanted to use this chance to test him and go up against him. Many people praised his poem when he was finished writing. He smiled when a young male teacher from Tsinghua University tried goading Zhang Ye to accept the poetry duel but was speechless when Zhang Ye easily fell for it.

After Zhang Ye wrote "Husband Missing Wife", some people thought that Zhang Ye's poem was better than his, while some thought his poem was better and suited the subject of "husband and wife" better. Since no one could decide which poem was better, the judges decided to call it a draw. He and the other Chinese Literature teachers were satisfied with the result, as it meant that Zhang Ye is not as legendary as the rumors say.

His expression later went dark when Yu Fan evaluated that the difference between Zhang Ye's poem and his was not just a level or two and was stunned when Yu Fan suggested reading Zhang Ye's poem backward. He was speechless when he realized that Zhang Ye's poem can really be read backward and still work perfectly, showing that the difference between him and Zhang Ye is much more than four or five grades. When Yu Fan later saw his depressed state, he tried to offer some comforting words to him.

After the college entrance exams were over, he was one of the student recruitment teachers sent by Tsinghua University to No. 8 High School to recruit the top scorers. He and three other male teachers surrounded top scorers of the Beijing college entrance examinations, including Huang Lingling, then shoved them into a car and drove off to Tsinghua University.

When they arrived back at Tsinghua University, he saw that the main gate was blocked by the teachers of Peking University so he got off the car after telling the driver to lock the doors to keep the students inside. Su Na told him that Tsinghua University is going overboard but he said Tsinghua University's specializations are more attractive than Peking University's, which is why the examinees would prefer to join them.

Su Na questioned whether the students really went with them willingly, but he refused to admit otherwise. When Zhang Ye arrived at Tsinghua University and demanded they open the car doors and let the examinees go, he flatly refused. Zhang Ye then went straight for one of the cars. Liao Qi tried to stop him by grabbing Zhang Ye's shoulder, but Zhang Ye subtly performed some martial arts, which made Liao Qi lose his balance and crashed down near the curb.

He was furious when he saw Zhang Ye smash a brick on the window of one of the cars to unlock it from the inside. He shouted for people to stop Zhang Ye, but no one was willing to come close to him, as they know the rumors about his history of violence. After Zhang Ye was done smashing, some of the Tsinghua University teachers were gloating at how he'll explain himself when the police came. He sneered when he saw that Zhang Ye also decided to call the police but was stunned when he heard him reporting a kidnapping at Tsinghua University.

When the police arrived at Tsinghua University, he and the other Tsinghua teachers immediately shouted how Zhang Ye smashed their cars, interfered with their student recruitment, and beat up their people. He was angered when the top scorers who left came back with their parents and compared Tsinghua University to a child trafficking gang. The lead officer suggested dropping the matter after understanding the situation since both parties were at fault, but he and the other Tsinghua University teachers objected.

He and the other Tsinghua University teachers later scolded Zhang Ye on Weibo and he posted that some teachers have really low standards.
