Chinese Temple Fair The 7th

This year, we returned to the normal Chinese Temple Fair. We held both the SING! Performance and the usual Funfair with games and art crafts to celebrate the Chinese Lantern Festival, which takes place 15 days after the Chinese New year. The MYP/DP Chinese team presented this Chinese Temple Fair with a theme of “月圆人团圆，你我向未来”, which means “A Day for Family Reunion, A Hopeful Future for All ”.

In the year of the Rabbit, we wish everyone an excellent and prosperous year. We give our special thanks to all the Concordians, especially the dedicated performers, teachers, IT department, maintenance team, and staff and support team.

G12 Deno: The Chinese Temple Fair and SING! event on Friday, February 3rd, was a truly spectacular celebration of culture. My Language and Culture Club and some other classmates organized the Costume Photobooth for the Fair. Seeing not only friends but also underclassmen and parents being able to put on costumes and have fun amongst themselves was a genuine experience. Not only did it help to validate our hard work but seeing the joy and energy of people being brought out through cosplay gave us a lens through which we used to view how alive the school was that day. Although we did not wander around the fair much because of our booth, it was clear how alive and vibrant everybody was during the Temple Fair.

G10 Haddy: 在今年的庙会上，作 为主持人，我不仅为现场观众 带来了精彩的表演，而且还尝 试了每个组设计的庙会游戏。 我非常感谢中文部组织的庙会 活动，让我有了这次难忘的体 验。

G9 Sheen: 2023’s Temple Fair was absolutely amazing! As one of the performers, I feel extremely proud to be able to partake in such an event, as not only was I able to enjoy the festivities of the Chinese festival，元宵节 but I was also able to represent a portion of Chinese culture as well. This year’s Temple Fair was not only brimming with excitement and fun, but it was the year when student-led booths were finally back! Personally, I felt that the singing performances were executed extremely well, it was breathtaking to be able to listen to all the performances. This year’s Temple Fair was truly outstanding!

G8 Meena: 在这次中国庙会当 中，我参加了《渔光曲》的舞 蹈表演。这是一个展现东方女 性的柔美和细腻，呈现上海独 特的风情与韵味的舞蹈。舞蹈 看似简单，跳起来却很难。虽 然在舞台上我们只表演了两分 多钟，我们其实在台下练了四 个月。在这四个月里，我们用 心感受着音乐的同时体验着共 同成长的快乐！感谢Ms. Jennifer 的耐心辅导，也感谢学校给我 们这样一个舞台，让我们追求 美，展示美。
