Only the examination can change one's fate—from a peasant lad in the morning to a son of heaven by the evening.
Zhang Ze is one of the graders.
He is in charge of the essay section.
He has quite a few insights on this topic, after all, he is a Special Grade Teacher. Even though Special Grade Teachers are a dime a dozen in the grading room, in various local maps, they are definitely figures of repute.
I digress.
Back to the essay.
There are many aspects that can be written about the role of storytelling.
But for the papers graded so far, it's truly hard to know how to expand the scope.
Some better ones write about a story they've heard. It was fascinatingly told, so they praised both the storyteller and the story itself, and then remarked on how much the story inspired people, giving them such great mental power.
Some, on the other hand, write that we need to be able to tell stories, to tell our stories well, and to export our cultural soft power.
