In the square.
The preliminary round was coming to an end.
"Time is almost up?" Elder Qian said.
The second judge said, "Well, let's wait another two more minutes."
The third judge nodded, "Okay. If no one steps forward, we will be closing up. Hur Hur."
The three judges announced the ending time, as the preliminaries could not go on without an ending. Everyone was still waiting for the opening ceremony over at the auditorium. Actually, they had not expected anyone to be able to match this couplet. There wasn't enough time either. The key couplet's second line was a very tricky one; every word had to be separated, broken down and digested before you could attempt to match the second line. There was just no other way.
Elder Qian looked at those who had given up and shook his head slightly. In his heart, he had hoped that someone could match this couplet, but he understood that there was no way anyone could.
......
Not far away.
Xiao Lu was getting anxious, "Quickly match it!"
