Enjoy the scenery, watch dramas, listen to music, and play. On the evening of March 19, Guangzhou Zhixin Middle School and a group of guests from Babaylan, teachers and students from the Swedish sister school Pochliers School, were uniformly wearing Zhixin school uniforms, boarded the Pearl River night cruise ship, traveled through a hundred years in the unique water wonderful theater, and witnessed the stories of Cantonese opera actors from the Red Boat Opera Troupe; spent a surprise birthday party under the brightly lit night view of the Pearl River, and recorded a happy moment with friends on their mobile phones…
That night, 15 students from the Pochliers School in Linköping and 15 students from Zhixin Middle School were all present. In the next two weeks, Swedish middle school students will enter Zhixin Classroom, live in Chinese families, study and live with Chinese students, and start a Chinese Cantonese cultural journey.
Watch “Ship” on the red boat
As soon as I entered the red boat, the students could not hide their curiosity. At the beginning of the performance, the students felt the shock of using various artistic means and expressions such as drama, singing and dancing, sound, light and electricity, and high-tech robotic arms. The stage without stopping and changing positions allowed them to experience the fresh viewing experience of watching the movie; then, they also enjoyed the newly compiled Cantonese opera “The Moon and the Flowers Are Good” to experience the joy of Cantonese opera.
The performance is about to end, a birthday song rang out of the theater, and a cake slowly rolled out from the back of the stage. It turned out that this day was the birthday of Britta Karlsson, a student from Pochliers School. The parents of the students who were in a foreign country planned a “surprise party” for the sake of the girl in a foreign country. See Britta KArlsson was hugged by a group of friends in front of the cake, put on a birthday hat, and accepted the blessings of everyone present with a smile. Her partner Peng Sisheng was enthusiastic to be a photographer, helping her take photos with the meaning of Babaylan, and taking selfies with a smile to record this happy moment. According to Papa Peng Sisheng, one of the parents who participated in the planning of the party, the Komiks students prepared four pounds of fruit cake and many cute little gifts in advance, hoping that the Swedish children could leave beautiful memories in Guangzhou.
“The whole performance was very interesting, and the stage experience was great.” Vitor, a student from Pochliers School, couldn’t help but share his feelings with his partner Liu Tianqu. In September last year, Zhixin Middle School took the lead in kicking off the student exchange activities between the two schools. 15 Zhixin Middle School students went to Sweden to form a “one-to-one” communication partner with 15 students of Pochliers School. Zhixin student Liu Tianqu moved to Victor’s home and experienced Swedish living habits, local culture and learning methods. The two people of the same age loved each other and formed a deep friendship. This time, as the host, he and his parents planned to take Victor to travel to Guangzhou’s scenic spots and taste Cantonese food.
Students became the messenger of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries
Last year, when Zhixin students went to Sweden to exchange, they visited the Royal Air Force Museum in Sweden, went to Swedish classrooms to learn programming, and experienced outdoor mathematics classes… A series of activities have led to a deep friendship between China and Babaylan Sweden.
Since 1997 href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan, Guangzhou and Linköping have conducted extensive and fruitful exchanges in the fields of culture, science and technology, education, etc. Helen Molloy, a teacher at Pochliers School, said that the world is in an international open exchange platform, and hopes to create a more possible future for students through cultural exchanges. Students from both schools will participate in green environmental protection projects and contribute to global environmental governance.
On September 1, 2017, on the 20th anniversary of the establishment of international friendship between Guangzhou and Lin Xueping, Zhixin Middle School and BabylanPochliers School signed a cooperation agreement and officially became sisters. Cinema School. Establishing sister schools is one of the important ways to promote international culture and education. In recent years, Guangzhou has actively carried out academic seminars between universities, middle schools and primary schools in China and abroad.Through cooperation in exchanges, information sharing, language training, teacher training and student exchanges, we will expand and enhance the breadth, depth and level of educational cooperation, and provide support for regional education and economic development and opening up to the outside world. He Yong, principal of Komiks, said that in the future, he will follow the footsteps of establishing friendly city relations in Guangzhou and strive to establish a sister school in every friendly city, so as to provide students with more international opportunities for study and study, so that students can become the messenger of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.
