On April 1st in Guangzhou, a warm southern breeze passed through the clouds and gently swept across the sports field. This day, which the children laughingly call the campus’s “one-of-a-kind Spring Festival,” arrived as scheduled. Guangzhou Experimental Foreign Language School used kites as a medium to let youth embrace the spring wind. Behind this seemingly relaxed activity lies a comprehensive cultivation of students’ physical and mental health, aesthetic expression, teamwork, and connection with nature.
