Harmony Day

Last Thursday, we celebrated the Harmony Day at St. George College.

On that morning, when I entered the classroom as usual, I saw some classmates circling the desk. They were discussing something about Harmony Day, holding many kinds of beautiful badges in their hands. I had never heard about the Day before. And then, the teacher, Andrew, explained it to us that ten years ago the government made the decision to have Mar. 21 as Harmony Day, to encourage people from different countries to live with each other harmoniously. The topic of the Harmony Day this year was "Everyone Belongs".

To celebrate the day, there was a celebration meeting in the conference room in Building A. So, Andrew took us there. When we got there, many people gathered and the meeting had begun. A hostess wearing a skirt with a beautiful flowered pattern was making a speech. About ten minutes later, she invited a Chinese girl to play the instrument called "Guzheng" in Chinese. The beautiful rhythm came from her slim fingers. The audience were moved deeply and applauded loudly for the good performance. And then, several persons from different countries made a speech, or sang a songs. They showed the different culture to us. At last, the hostess led all of persons to sing the national anthem and another song. Even though I couldn't sing them, I loved the beautiful rhythm.
