w88 casino News Network (Reporter Zeng Xin Zhang Xian)After the opening match, a reporter from the News Network conducted an interview with the best debater in this match, Xiao Kairong from Tsinghua University. Xiao Kairong is studying economics and management. Xiao Kairong will be referred to as "Xiao" below, and the reporter from the news network will be referred to as "Ji".

Note: First of all, congratulations on becoming the best debater today. But Tsinghua University failed in today's competition, so what do you think is the main reason for the failure?

Xiao: We just expect the other party to say "yes" or "no". But "yes" and "won't" are intermediate concepts. The other party can say this, and we can also say this. If the other party says "maybe, maybe not", we can also say "maybe not, maybe yes". If we reach a consensus in this middle ground, there will be no argument. Therefore, we are logically talking about cause and effect. However, due to insufficient preparation on our part, the final statement may not be particularly clear. Maybe I feel more regretful today. But at Tsinghua University, a debate team that emphasizes logic and debate is very rare in today's debate arena. I hope that our debate competition will still be a competition of ideas and logic, rather than a pile of words.

Reporter: You personally make a big splash in the debate arena, but what is your personality like in life?

Xiao: Personally? How to say it……I think maybe the style in the debate is different from that in life. That is, some people may be present under pressure, and I am a present type.

Reporter: Do you mean that you are two completely different people in the debate arena and in life?

Xiao: I can’t say it’s completely different, but the performance is different. I don't really like arguing with people in life. Tsinghua’s style is to do more practical things and talk less empty words.

Note: Do you have any hobbies?

Xiao: Sports, Internet, etc. I am the kind of person who knows everything but is not proficient in anything, so I am more suitable for debate.

Recorder: So you have a erudite background, right?

Xiao: No, no, I am not considered knowledgeable, I just know a little bit. If I am considered knowledgeable, then I am really sorry for those, those (really knowledgeable) people.

Note: What do you think of today’s opponents?

Xiao: Their literature is good and they are well prepared. I hope to have the opportunity to communicate more in the future.

Reporter: Which debate partner of the other party impressed you the most?

Xiao: The other party’s third argument was that her name was the same as my high w88 casino classmate, which shocked me. I said, “Hey, is she my high w88 casino classmate?” ”
