The early summer in Jiangnan Province is actually very beautiful, with beautiful mountains and green waters, I know a few times.At this time, Liu Miao was participating in the Hope Cup National Student Composition Contest Jiangnan Province semi-finals in the classroom of the Jiangnan Normal University School of Literature. The topic of the composition was still unlimited. The only difference from the preliminaries was that the composition time was limited to two hours.

Now that it's time for the rematch, Liu Miao naturally won't use the genre of fairy tales to deal with the judges and teachers.Although the Hope Cup has no restrictions on genres, it is undeniable that poetry and novels are the most popular genres in contemporary literature. Therefore, the award-winning articles or excellent articles of the Hope Cup every year come from these two genres, and only argumentative essays and prose.Liu Miao is not a fool, so naturally he would not deliberately run counter to the tastes of the judges, so Liu Miao decided to write a short story.

Not to mention, microfiction has always been a very popular genre in this era, and it is very easy to get high praise if you can write meaningful stories because of its shortness.And don’t look at all kinds of fiction magazines fighting to the death, but the No. 1 best-selling fiction magazines in China are “Story Club” and “Micro Fiction Selection”, and these two magazines are the base camp of micro fiction. From this we can see how popular microfiction is.

While Liu Miao is working hard on creation here, Mr. Ma is showing the third diamond of the Penguin Diamond Project, the yellow diamond, to reporters.With the appearance of Yellow Diamond, Penguin officially launched two services, blog and space.

In fact, at that time and space, Penguin launched the space service to attack Sina's blog service.It’s just that in that era, people didn’t understand the essence of blog services, so Penguin’s space services became more and more social services. In the end, it really became the world’s largest SNS website by accident, and Penguin really wanted to recommend it. The blog service has never been done successfully.Therefore, Liu Miao directly asked Mr. Ma to launch the two major services of blog and space in this era.

The blog will be a public-to-public voice platform, and at the same time, through Penguin’s blog aggregation service, the dissemination of blog content will be spread to a greater extent; and space has been a service for limited dissemination since its birth. In the simplest terms, to To access someone's space, you have to be at least a friend of someone's friend, and to participate in his space, you have to be his friend.

Under Liu Miao's proposal, Penguin Space divides visitors into six categories: oneself, close friends, friends, friends of friends, strangers, and those who refuse to communicate, and there are different privacy controls for these six categories.At the same time, in order to prevent the blog and space from being completely disconnected, under Liu Miao's design, the blog and space logs can be pushed to each other.

After introducing the two major services of blog and space, the reporters in the audience immediately understood that two epoch-making milestone Internet services were born.With the emergence of blogs, news and discourse rights no longer belong to the media or powerful organizations. No matter how weak an individual can make their voices heard to the general public through blogs and the Internet, especially with blog aggregation services, news content will be shared by readers and users. come into being, which fundamentally separates the Internet from other traditional media.And the emergence of space makes netizens suddenly feel that the person existing on the Internet is a real person.He can share his stories, interests, emotions, sorrows and joys through his words, pictures, voices and videos, and others can get to know him through these, get close to him, and eventually become friends or even lovers just like the real world.

After the reporters digested the blog and the space, Mr. Ma continued to explain the meaning of the yellow diamond.Yellow Diamond is mainly aimed at paying users of the space. With Yellow Diamond, you can have more space to store photos, audio and video, and you can also have more decorations to decorate the space.Although these things may seem cumbersome to many people, these cute or luxurious decorations are simply irresistible consumer goods for most female users.Once a large number of female users participate, male users will inevitably follow.

After explaining the yellow diamond, Penguin officially announced the official launch of the blog, space, blog aggregation website and yellow diamond service.And in just one hour, the number of Yellow Diamond users broke through from zero to [-] users, which once again made people see Penguin's powerful ability to attract money.At present, Penguin only launched the four major paid services of vip, blue diamond, red diamond and yellow diamond, which not only made Penguin the first company in Huaxia Internet to launch paid services without closing down, but also became the first profitable company in Huaxia Internet. company.

In the new version of the Penguin portal, except for the search engine and some important news, the rest of the content is contributed by Penguin blog users.And adhering to the concept of open service, users of other blog service providers who support the rss or atom protocol can also aggregate their blogs to Penguin.com.Therefore, in just one month, the newly born Penguin.com surpassed Digit.com and Fox.com, and became the two major news websites in China, keeping pace with Cyclops.com.And compared with Cyclops, these user-generated news are more popular with readers.

In particular, the homepage of Penguin.com is fully customized. As long as you log in, you can choose what content to display on your homepage, and which users' content will be pushed first.The rest of the content was pushed by Penguin editors and other readers.After all, there is a thumbs-up icon after each blog post. Each user can give the author’s blog a like by clicking on it. The more likes the blog has, the better the recommendation position will be.

This kind of news method has gradually been favored by major brokerage companies, so it has become a trend for celebrities to open blogs and spaces.Celebrities who open blogs can be used as another temporary stage for themselves, and open space can become a presence on the Internet to stabilize the relationship between themselves and their fans.This can be regarded as Penguin's mistake. With the participation of a large number of celebrities and stars, the traffic of Penguin.com has increased by leaps and bounds.And those grassroots who are really capable have also become Internet celebrities under the impact of massive traffic.

"This year's composition level is much higher than previous years." In Jiangnan Normal University, several judges were whispering there.

They were chatting quickly while reviewing a composition in the hands of the reviewer seriously.According to the regulations of the Hope Cup, an act must be judged by three judges who do not know each other.If there are large fluctuations in the score, this composition will be submitted to the presidium of the jury for separate review.At the same time, there is also a steering committee independent of the judging committee. They will select 10% of the essays for review every day. If the scores differ greatly, they will send the test papers to the bureau for review.It can be said that the Hope Cup Composition Contest has achieved the greatest fairness when marking the papers.

In addition to reviewing all kinds of controversial essays, the presidium of the judging committee plays the most important role in classifying the excellent essays pushed by the marking teacher into first, second, and third prizes, and the rest are excellent awards.All compositions above the Excellence Award will be published in the next year's Jiangnan Province Hope Cup Excellent Composition Selection, and then get a remuneration.The third prize can be rewarded with 5000 yuan in addition to the manuscript remuneration; the second prize is 10000 yuan; and the first prize is naturally 50000 yuan.The most important thing is that in addition to the 50000 yuan bonus, the first prize can also qualify to participate in the national finals.

The number of finals assigned to each province in the finals is not certain, and is mainly determined based on the participation in the Hope Cup of the province in the past five years and the average score of the college entrance examination.Jiangnan Province, Jiangsu-Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Fujian Province and Xijiang Province are the five key participating regions of the Hope Cup each year.Basically, the worst result of the contestants who can break out from these five provinces in the national finals is also the third prize, and they will definitely not fall into the consolation excellence award.

At this time, the presidium is anxiously deciding on the final first prize. Although the number of first prizes in Jiangnan Province is as high as five people, compared with the preliminaries of 40 to [-], this number is pitifully small .The five chairmen and vice chairmen were all over the place for the five places, because once these five people were selected, they would represent Jiangnan Province in the national finals.Although at least one contestant from Jiangnan Province is shortlisted for the first prize every year, there are actually as many as five first prizes in the finals, which is of little practical significance.

The most meaningful thing is the winner of the Hope Cup, this is the real No.1.You must know that Jiangnan Province has missed the Hope Cup for ten consecutive years, so what if it won more first prizes?In the past ten years, the Hope Cup has been won eight times by Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, once each by Jiangsu and Fujian provinces.

You know, there is an old saying: only Chu has talent, and he will prosper here.Therefore, it has been insulated from the Hope Cup for ten consecutive years, and the literary circles in Jiangnan Province are suffocating.

"Let's choose this novel as the last one." The chairman of the jury finally said, "Although this Western style is a bit deviant, the drama of the novel is well condensed in such a short story. And this plain Although the text is a bit simple, it is a skill to be able to tell a story well in the simplest words. It’s decided, let’s do it!” As he spoke, the chairman drew a “superior” on the novel with a red pen, and the story of the novel The title is "Necklace" and the author is Liu Miao.

After news of Liu Miao's qualification for the Hope Cup finals was sent back to Tanzhou No. [-] Middle School, the whole school was erupting this time.Because the finals are not divided into grades, middle school students and primary school students have very little hope of being selected.At least in Jiangnan Province, no non-university students have been selected for five years.

Among the five finalists selected this time, Jiangnan Normal University, which ranks in the top [-] in liberal arts in the country, won three spots, and Jiangnan University, which ranked in the top [-] in the country, also took one spot.Everyone originally thought that the entire remaining quota would belong to Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. After all, although Jiangnan University of Science and Technology is a university of science and engineering, their Chinese Department was formerly the Chinese Department of Tanzhou Teachers College, and Tanzhou Teachers College was once the national university. Top [-] liberal arts schools.Unexpectedly, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology was wiped out, and the last place was taken away by a high school student.And this high school student is not Yuelu Middle School or Fenghuang Middle School, two high schools famous for their liberal arts, but Tanzhou No. [-] Middle School.

With the concern of the school leaders, the school newspaper, school TV station and school radio station launched a comprehensive publicity of Liu Miao.Even Liu Miao had to accept an interview with the school press team. Although Liu Miao hated such activities, at the request of Teacher Wang, he had to introduce his composition experience with a straight face.After the show, Liu Yan suddenly asked: "Is your experience in those compositions true?"

"Fake." Liu Miao gave her brother a white look, "Read more and write more, there is no other trick to composition."
