When students, teachers and parents stand side by sideon the stage of the 7th‑anniversary celebration of Dehong Beijing School,they recite together:
“Hand in hand, onward for our seventh year,
You on the left, me on the right.
Parents are the harbour, teachers the beacon,
Children the sailboats setting forth,
Toward the ocean of knowledge and the distance of dreams.”
This moment breathes life into seven years of Dehong’s story and freezes an eternal instant — seeing and uplifting one another.
From 15:00 in the afternoon to 20:30 at night, the stage shines for over five hours. Five chapters feature more than 70 performances brought by students, parents, faculty and staff.
Chinese traditional music, angelic vocals, expressive dances, Chinese‑style recitations, rock performances, instrumental solos and classic musicals unfold one after another.
On stage blooms confidence and creativity;
off stage lie focused gazes and sincere applause.
Parents behold their children’s relaxed and assured demeanour,while children discover the glamour and elegance of their parents and elders beyond daily life —the Light of Joy Parent Choir, beloved Dehong Grandmas and more.
Every voice and role is seen, respected and cherished here.
