“Always cherish gratitude, and always be grateful.” Today, SUIS Qingpu organized a flag-raising ceremony with the theme of “Thanksgiving” to let students understand the importance of their peers, parents, teachers, and society in their lives.

飘扬的五星红旗之下，青浦协和中方执行校长黄莹为本次的升旗仪式致辞。“感恩不是高高在上的，其实是一种生活态度。” 她通过霍金的例子，鼓励同学们学习“感恩这种处事哲学”，当挫折、失败来临时，依旧保持对生活的期待，跌倒了再爬起来。
Under the flying five-star red flag, Ms. Sunny Huang, Co-Acting Principal delivered a speech at the flag raising ceremony this month. “Gratitude is not far away from us. It is an attitude. It is a state of mind that is good at discovering the special moments in life and enjoying them.” She used Stephen Hawking’s example to encourage students to learn “the philosophy of gratitude.” When setbacks and failures come, we should still be grateful for life’s surprises and get up again after falling down.
