From the Hengduan Mountains to the banks of the Huangpu River, the gap between the three parallel rivers, among the mountains and dense forests, spans more than 3,000 kilometers between the mountains and the sea.

The mountains tell the sea, and the poster is sprayed by the waves.

In order to allow primary and secondary school students to spend a wonderful and memorable summer camp in Shanghai, the cadres of the two places will hold a preparatory meeting one year in advance, and the activity plan will be included in the overall annual arrangement of Shanghai-Yunnan cooperation.

We hope that through the 'Hand in Hand' activity, Weixi teachers and students can go out, broaden their horizons, and gain new inspiration and new ideas in their study and work. Liu Yourong, deputy director of the Weixi County Rural Revitalization Bureau and a cadre of Shanghai's aid to Yunnan, said that as a brand activity of Sanjiao, the "hand-in-hand" activity has a subtle and far-reaching impact on teachers and students in the two places.

They also went to Yangtai Experimental Middle School and Baoshan Experimental School to conduct table tennis and basketball training competitions, and experienced the physical education courses of Baoshan students.

Starting with sports activities, the friendship between the two places continues to sublimate. "This year, we plan to launch a drama, a stage performance and a set of interviews to summarize and tell the results of 20 years of exchanges and exchanges between Baowei and Baowei. According to Rao Kaiqing, the stage performance will be led by the Baoshan District Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and a professional team will be invited to guide, with the Weixi folk song and dance team as the mainstay, and the tour will be carried out in 12 streets and towns in Baoshan, so that the people of the two places can more truly feel the deep friendship of the two places in the past 20 years.
