10th Wen Xin Cup
Chinese Writing Contest
On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, the 10th Wen Xin Cup Chinese Writing Contest was held. The contest's name has profound meaning: "Wen" (文) means essay or literary work, and "Xin" (心) means heart or core. "Wen Xin" is also derived from the famous Chinese literary critique "Wen Xin Diao Long" (文心雕龙), which emphasizes the importance of both content and format in writing.
This contest celebrates the talents and creativity of our secondary school students in the field of writing. It encourages them to explore their literary skills and express their thoughts and ideas with both heart and skill.
In this year's contest, 14 students received the Extraordinary Award (杰出奖) and 23 students received the Excellent Award (优秀奖) for their outstanding writing achievements.

Being awarded The Extraordinary Award in this Chinese writing contest is a remarkable achievement that surpasses my expectations. This has made me feel both excited and joyful. The main reason I believe I was able to receive this award is due to my focus on vocabulary. Vocabulary is extremely important in writing an essay; words that connect your sentences properly and descriptive words can enhance the overall appeal of the writing. To all future competitors, good luck!

Being honest, I did not expect to win any prizes, especially with how Chinese is one of the subjects I’ve been struggling with. However, participating in this writing contest felt extremely rewarding and encouraging. It has allowed me to express my creativity, but most importantly, boosted my confidence and motivated me to keep improving my language skills. Thank you for this opportunity, thank you to all the Chinese teachers!
PunPun 吴沛宁 G6
I am surprised and impressed that I won the Excellent Writer Award. I think the different articles that I learned throughout the year helped me improve my writing, vocabulary and sentence structure. When I couldn’t understand a topic, my Chinese would clearly explain it and help me understand how to improve further.
