On October 19th, 55 teachers and students from Music and Dance Department of the School of Arts in HNUST visited Jixin Town Center Primary School in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, to carry out learning research and assistance activities.
At the meeting, Tian Jingxiang, the headmaster of Jixin Town Center Primary School, extended a warm welcome to the teachers and students of HNUST, and introduced the development, education and teaching condition of the primary school. Zhang Ran, the deputy secretary of the faculty Party branch of Music and Dance Department, said that they would make full use of their professional advantages to promote learning research and assistance activities, lighting up the dreams of every child with art education. Zheng Aihua, the teacher representative of School of Arts, introduced the general situation, professional development and education of Music and Dance Department of HNUST, and wished that the children would grow up healthily and happily and realize their dreams and values through hard work.
As the children watched carefully, the teachers and students from the Music and Dance Department presented well-prepared gifts to the children to express their love. Overwhelmed by excitement and curiosity, the children kept asking "Mrs. He, is this a painting book?"; "Mrs. Li, is this a marker?". They hoped that the stationery could bring happiness to the children.
Teacher Li Peirong led the students of HNUST to bring wonderful performances to the children: the enthusiastic Uygur dance "sanem" performed by HNUSTers in the dance class announced the opening of the activity; followed by passionate Latin dance "bloom"; unique Mongolian Dance "Xige Xiri"; the school anthem of HUNST was full of youthful spirit. Finally, the chorus song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" drew an end.
After the performances, the teachers and students visited the Santan academy, which is the predecessor of the primary school and has a history of over 100 years and took a group photo in the end. Everyone expressed their hope to establish a long-term partnership and to exchange visits frequently. They also expressed their great honor and gratitude for the success of this event and hoped that all children could grow up happily and healthily.
