4位来自各个学部的主持人,用中英双语拉开整个活动的序幕,其中国际部小学刘欣檬说,“我会用最响亮的声音喊出我的决心!”这同时也是所有宋校学生的心声,那一声声铿锵有力的“我爱你,中国!”响彻云霄,孩子们眼中闪烁着光芒,心中激动不已。

Four MCs from different divisions kicked off the whole activity in both Chinese and English languages. Liu Xinmeng, a primary school student from the International Division, said, "I will shout out my determination in the loudest voice! ". " I love you, China!

”少年强则国强!”这是习近平总书记对于青年的期许,我们定将凝心聚力,不负时代,不负韶华,为建设富强、民主、和谐、友善的中国而昂首奋进。

"If the young people are strong, the country will be strong!" This is the sincere expectation of President Xi Jinping towards our youth. 


随着主持人一声“面向国旗”,全体肃立,所有人的目光都聚焦在冉冉升起的五星红旗上,自豪在场中酝酿,热爱在每人脸上浮现。

With the MC saying, "Face the national flag", everyone stood in awe with all eyes staring at the rising five-star red flag. A love with pride towards their motherland emerged on everyone's face.

中学部带来《明天会更好》,歌声伴着民乐振奋人心,表达对祖国明天美好的祝福,对世界和平的祈愿。参与活动组织的楚亮老师表示,“我们学校有很多国际身份的孩子,通过快闪的活动,他们特地去学习了中国的历史、国旗的故事,更好地了解中国,更加地热爱中国”,培养具有大爱精神和大世界观的学生一直是宋校的坚持。

All middle school students presented the song“tomorrow will be better” accompanied by folk music to express their good wishes for the motherland and world peace. Chu Liang, a member of the organizing committee, said, "There are many international students in our school who specially learned the history of China and the story of Chinese national flag in the preparation of this celebration activity in order to better understand and love China." It has always been the goal of SCLS to cultivate students with a philanthropic spirit and a perspective view of the world.

At last, all the teachers and students waved the national flag in their hands and shouted, "I love you, China!”. The whole campus turned red with thousands of balloons flown away carrying the blessing to China. Wang Qi, a member of the organizing committee, said excitedly, "It's so impressive to witness such a large event involving thousands of people being presented very perfectly without having a full rehearsal.
