Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Chapter 137 From Cultural Relics Restorer to Postgraduate Entrance Exam Candidate: Chen Xi's Jo

Su Xuan returned to the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics after her long vacation and noticed a new face as soon as she entered the office.

The girl was slender, with neat, short hair that reached her ears. She stood at the workbench, intently organizing the artifact data, her eyes serious and focused. Sometimes she would lower her head to take notes, sometimes she would furrow her brow in thought, her eyes fixed on the documents in her hands, not missing a single detail.

As Su Xuan approached, she saw that the girl's desk was piled high with various books and documents, with some photos of cultural relics and research reports placed beside it. Her notebook was filled with dense writing, with different colored markings and annotations on each page.

The girl's fingers moved quickly between the pages of the book, pausing occasionally to read carefully and jotting something down in her notebook.

During a break, the girl spotted Su Xuan, gave a shy smile, and introduced herself: "Hello, Teacher Su, I'm Chen Xi, a new cultural relic restorer."

Su Xuan smiled and nodded in response, looking at the beads of sweat on the girl's forehead, thinking to herself that this girl was really hardworking.

After that, Su Xuan often saw Chen Xi's busy figure. Whether in the artifact restoration room or the archives room, she was completely devoted to her work.

On one occasion, while restoring a damaged cultural relic, Chen Xi consulted a large amount of information and sought advice from experienced experts to determine the best restoration plan. She tried different restoration methods again and again until she was satisfied.

Chen Xi is not only passionate about her work, but also meticulous in every detail. When restoring cultural relics, she carefully observes every minute aspect of them, diligently analyzing their materials and the causes of damage. When encountering problems, she proactively consults materials and discusses them with her colleagues.

And so, through her hard work and dedication, Chen Xi gradually distinguished herself in her workplace. Her work ethic and professionalism earned her the recognition and praise of her colleagues. Watching Chen Xi's busy figure, Su Xuan was filled with emotion, as if she were seeing her younger self in her.

Su Xuan noticed that Chen Xi was very hardworking and dedicated to her work, so she took the initiative to invite her to join her cultural relic restoration project.

When restoring an ancient bronze artifact, Chen Xi was responsible for cleaning the dirt and rust from its surface. Holding a small brush, she carefully brushed the surface of the artifact, each stroke meticulous.

Su Xuan provided guidance from the side, reminding her to pay attention to the pressure and angle. Chen Xi nodded as she carefully operated the device, her eyes fixed on the artifact.

After several days of effort, the surface of the bronze artifact was cleaned, revealing exquisite patterns and textures. Next, Su Xuan and Chen Xi worked together to restore the bronze artifact.

Chen Xi was in charge of preparing the restoration materials. She carefully mixed the various materials together according to the proportions, and then used tools to apply the materials to the damaged areas of the artifact. Su Xuan provided technical guidance from the side to ensure the restoration work proceeded smoothly.

During the restoration process, Chen Xi encountered some difficulties. She discovered that there were some tiny cracks in the damaged parts of the bronze artifact, which required special treatment.

She consulted Su Xuan, who patiently guided her on how to use special tools for repair. Following Su Xuan's instructions, Chen Xi carefully operated the tools and successfully restored the bronze artifact.

After the restoration was completed, Chen Xi carefully inspected the artifact. She discovered some minor flaws on the surface and addressed them again. Su Xuan watched Chen Xi's focused expression and felt very gratified.

At work, Su Xuan and Chen Xi learn from and support each other. Chen Xi learns a lot of professional knowledge and skills from Su Xuan, while Su Xuan sees the vitality and enthusiasm of youth in Chen Xi. Together, they contribute to the cause of cultural relic preservation.

Since arriving at the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics, Chen Xi has developed a strong interest in the field of cultural relics research. The various cultural relics she encounters in her daily work make her acutely aware of the inadequacy of her own knowledge. An idea quietly sprouted in her mind: to pursue postgraduate studies.

Every day after get off work, Chen Xi returns to her small rented room and begins her study journey. Her room is not big; a desk occupies one corner, piled high with various professional books and materials. In order to devote herself fully to her exam preparation, she has developed a detailed study plan.

During her daytime work hours, Chen Xi would use her breaks to consult with her senior colleagues about postgraduate entrance exams. She learned that the exam subjects for cultural relics research mainly include politics, English, and specialized courses.

The specialized courses were further divided into several specializations, such as cultural relic protection, archaeology, and museology. This made her realize that she needed to study these areas comprehensively.

When Chen Xi got home in the evening, she first started reviewing English. She diligently memorized vocabulary and did reading comprehension exercises every day, constantly improving her English level through practice. To enhance her listening and speaking skills, she also watched English movies and documentaries.

After a period of hard work, Chen Xi gradually mastered the basic knowledge required for the postgraduate entrance examination. However, she knew that in order to achieve good results in the exam, she needed to continuously improve her comprehensive abilities.

During her exam preparation, Chen Xi also encountered some difficulties. For example, due to her busy work schedule, she sometimes felt lacking in energy. However, she did not give up because of this, but overcame the difficulties by making reasonable arrangements for her time and adjusting her study plan.
