The Mid-term Speech of Congratulation
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, fellow countrymen at home and abroad, ikun, the wall facers, the Threebodies.
Today is one of the traditional Chinese festivals - the Mid term Festival. The midterm holiday is usually 2.5 months before the Final Holiday, which is 2.5 weeks before Labor Day.
Mid term Festival is a holiday for students. At this time of year, young people aged 6 to 24 gather at the imperial examination hall to accept the challenges of the teachers. 2.5 days after the midterm festival is the Judgment Day. Unlike the tragic death on the Judgment Day, on this day, students who perform poorly in exams will accept double kills from teachers and parents, while students who do well in exams will be harshly criticized by the entire class.
There are many customs during the midterm festival, such as reading, doing paper exercises, reviewing, etc., but children prefer to perform a ceremony called "Putting it down". 'Putting it down' is a spontaneous behavior of small civil groups, specifically the ‘Three don’ts’ principle, which means not studying, not doing questions, and not taking exam papers with involution. During the Mid-term Festival, it is the most important to avoid reading scores and discussing about exam papers.
Mark Twain once said, "When truth is still putting on its shoes, lies have traveled half the world." Now, he must say breathlessly, "When the Mid term is still brewing,? the God of Death has traveled half the universe."
