In this mild winter, after long anticipation, we finally welcome our international secondary New Year event. Each activity held their own distinctive qualities, and was highly praised by all teachers and parents.

We continued our annual New Year workshops, such as paper-cutting, sudoku, building blocks, Chinese chess, riddles, mask painting, and cooking dumplings.  These activities helped the students enjoy and appreciate all the different aspects of this cultural holiday. We hope these workshops enriched the students’ knowledge of Chinese culture and also offered them relief from their studies.

In the afternoon, the students, teachers and parents gathered in the auditorium to watch the various performances.

The Peking Opera “San Jiadian” expresses the core values of Chinese culture with motherly love.”Flower in the Rain” conveys romance is an eloquent dance. The up-beat performance of “Good Luck” excited us for the New Year. The ensemble of the Guzheng and the Pipa “Dance Dance” displays the melody of classical music. The show “News 1+1” filled the room with laughter. The student-teacher fashion show was a platform for everyone to express their love for the complicated and beautiful Chinese culture.

The performers showed our students strong enthusiasm and passion for performance arts; they showcased their talents, added to their experiences and further developed their friendships.

 

今天的新年活动精彩绝伦,喜气洋洋。台上的小演员们多才多艺,聚精会神地为观众们带来欢声笑语。每当演完一个节目,台下都爆发出一阵阵雷鸣般的掌声与喝彩声。啊,真是一场成功、欢乐的新年庆典!
