Recently, nearly 40 teachers and students from Taiwan Baojixiang Literature and History Education Association came to Beijing No. 8 Middle School (hereinafter referred to as Beijing No. 8 Middle School), and together with the teachers and students of the school, they shook diabolo, wrote calligraphy, and discussed table tennis skills, and went to a youth agreement.
In the calligraphy classroom, Liu Chengye, a student at Beijing No. 8 Middle School, sat side by side with his new deskmate from Taiwan. He said: "I have never met Taiwanese classmates before, and I am curious about what they usually learn and what interests and hobbies." While copying the couplet, the two of them communicated enthusiastically. Liu Chengye discovered that this Taiwanese friend also loves swimming and table tennis, and he has no sense of distance between them.
"The students in Beijing are very lively like us, and they get along very naturally." Taiwanese high school student Li Ade shared his feelings while adjusting the balance of diabolo. On the playground, he shook the diabolo with the teacher's guidance of "lifting his right hand up and following his left hand down" and gradually mastered the rhythm.
Li Ade said that in Taiwan, diabolo is called "pull". He has been exposed to it since childhood and has learned some new skills this time. Speaking of his impression of Beijing No. 8 Middle School, he said that he saw the statue of Confucius on campus at first sight, "The cultural atmosphere here is very strong."
On the day of the event, students from both sides of the Taiwan Strait also formed a team to practice table tennis skills, pushing the ground, turning their waists, and swinging the slap. The white balls shuttled quickly, which was dazzling. Teachers and students of Beijing No. 8 Middle School presented calligraphy works "Poetry and gifts passed down for a long time, and Yan and Huang's lineage will last forever" to Taiwanese teachers and students, and Taiwanese guests gave back banners and classics.
Taiwan Baojixiang Literature and History Education Association is executive director Feng Mingzhu, former president of the Palace Museum in Taipei, and is committed to promoting Chinese Literature and History education. Feng Mingzhu introduced that the visiting students came from many colleges and universities in Taiwan, and they were all Chinese culture enthusiasts. Some of them studied calligraphy for many years, some were good at trolling bells, and some came to communicate with table tennis rackets. "I look forward to the teachers and students of Beijing No. 8 Middle School in the future to go to Taiwan for exchanges, so that such youthful dialogue can continue," she said.
