CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Students from Yangshi Road Primary School in Jiulongpo District started to back to school early in the morning of February 28, wearing their school uniforms and red scarves as they walked onto the school one after another.

“School’s starting! Are you ready?” “Welcome back!” Warm words were written on the classroom blackboard and red envelopes were posted all over.

Each red envelope contained a chocolate coin, plus a lucky voucher with different contents: one exemption for homework assignment, a week as class monitor, two photos of you on the school taken by the headmaster himself, one preference for a club, one preference for a class seat...

“It's time to draw the red envelopes!” In the classroom of Class 5, Grade 3 5, the class teacher, Liu, let out a loud cheer at the end of her sentence. The students went up to the podium in turn, opened their red envelope and shared their haul with each other, with excitement and surprise on their faces.

“I’m so happy that I drew the headmaster to take pictures for me!” “I drew to be class monitor for a week!” “I got a chicken leg!” “I got one exemption for homework assignment!”... This special gift for the start of the school year has made everyone feel a different kind of happiness.

“Red envelopes are one of the activities in Yangshi Road Primary School’s ‘Start of School Program’. The rain of red envelopes is a sign of the teachers’ love and motivation for the students, and we hope that the children will welcome the new term in a good mood and always be curious about learning!” Headmaster Yang Yongcai said.
