Ma Minghui, a Chinese teacher at the school's high school, said.
After discussion, the theme of the school's opening ceremony was set as "Long Lu Lu Starts a New Journey, Aspirations to the Future", which will be held in the school's large playground on the morning of February 26. "The topic of how the 'little self' slowly grows and transforms, whether for primary school students or middle school students, is worth it. Therefore, this opening ceremony, I hope to focus on this topic. Ma Ganying said.
