The 6 Chinese Temple Fair 2022: “Harmony · Peace · Endeavor”

SING! Secondary School Chinese Singing Festival Under the Covid restrictions this year, instead of holding the

normal big Temple Fair with food, games, artcrafts and shows, the MYP/DP Chinese team presented a Chinese Singing Festival with a theme of Harmony (和谐), Peace (太平) and Endeavor (奋进) as well as a highlighted symbol of Phoenix.

The theme is from a Chinese saying “少年智则国智，少 年强则国强”, which means the country is wise and strong only when its young people are wise and strong. The symbol of phoenix represents the spirit of harmony and rebirth from ashes. It reminded our Concordian students of their responsibilities for the nations, especially during this challenging time.

In the year of the Tiger while Covid remains a tough challenge, we wish everyone an excellent and prosperous year. Special thanks given to all the Concordians, especially the dedicated performers, teachers, IT department, maintenance team, and the staff and support team.

G6 Annabel: I participated in The Sing! as a performer. This experience was something very new to me since I'm only in G6, and the new regulations that we had to follow this year were different, we had fewer rehearsals and more complicated rules.

G7 Meena: This performance made me enjoy participating in events more. It not only was a good stage experience for me but also stimulated me to develop my creative skills, such as adjusting the music score to make it more suitable for the show.

G8 Pai: Thanks to the Chinese department for the opportunity to perform. As a band, it was very tough during rehearsals but in the end, we made it. Hope everyone enjoyed it.

G8 K: During this process, we stumbled across a lot of challenges. However in the end we managed to put on a show. It was all worth it.

G9 Im: I have the opportunity to join this year's SING! with the song "一路生花" which means "Flowers All the Way". Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sing this on stage because of quarantine. The pandemic situation postponed and canceled many events which took away the chances for individuals to shine their talents. But I'm sure that there will be a day that everyone can finally overcome this situation.

G10 Grace: SING! was a wonderful experience, I got to sing on stage for the first time, and it was different. I enjoyed it a lot, and I hope the audience enjoyed it.

G10 Stephen: Even though I have been the MC multiple times in different events, this one was unique. I am very grateful for the opportunity as it helps me pronounce words better and also helps my Chinese speaking. I am now more confident in my Chinese speaking and I have also made some new friends along the way of doing this show. There was no stress and just going with the flow, that’s what made the show successful and made this MC part the best I have had so far.

G11 KhaoJao: As a performer for SING!, I really enjoyed the process of rehearsing for this event. Even though I don't take Chinese as a subject anymore, it was nice to see that I can still use the language fluently.
