The B'in Music Children's Growth Camp was jointly held by the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) and B'in Music Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd in Beijing from August 9 to 11.
It brought together 10 girl students from Xindu District of Xingtai, a city of North China's Hebei Province.
The first stop of the study tour was the Palace Museum, where the girls marveled at the building of ancient Chinese architectures. Every detail demonstrates the ancient craftsmen's ultimate pursuit of craftsmanship, helping the girls have a better understanding of the connotations of cultural confidence and the spirit of craftsmanship.
Then they came to the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing to explore the history of the Grand Canal, the world's longest manmade waterway, which connects Beijing and Hangzhou in East China's Zhejiang Province. In an immersive experience zone, they followed the videos to travel from Tongzhou District of the capital city to other cities along the Grand Canal and learn more about its history and landscape as well as local conditions and customs.
They also visited Beijing Library next to the museum and gained a deep understanding of the capital city's profound culture and glorious history.
The visit to the Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) seemed to open a revolutionary storybook for the girls. The exhibited archival photos and relics have shown the firm commitment and arduous efforts of the Party to strive for national independence, liberation and development as well as the improvement of the people's wellbeing in the past century.
The girls gained a deep understanding of the great founding spirit of the CPC and their eyes were filled with tears after they visited the exhibitions. "Our good life is at the cost of blood and lives of countless revolutionary martyrs. I will cherish time, study hard and endeavor to be a useful person of the country and the society," said a girl Xuanxuan (pseudonym).
A visit to the China Science and Technology Museum provided the girls with a window to better perceive the future of technology empowerment. The performance of robotic dogs and AI-driven dialogues enabled them to admire sci-tech charm and realize that innovation is the primary driving force.
They also attended a music concert in the National Stadium, known as the Bird's Nest.
The study tour also brought the girls to the Tiananmen Square and the Monument to the People's Heroes, where they listened to the stories of revolutionary martyrs and posed for a group photo with the Chinese national flag.
At last, they visited the Confucius Temple and Guozijian (Imperial College) Museum. They were deeply impressed by the ancient scholars' commitment to serving the nation. "We have learned more about the tradition of respecting teachers and valuing education and strengthened our determination to study hard," said a girl Xiaoxue (pseudonym).
The three-day study tour not only provided the girls with an opportunity to see the world but also inspired them to chase their own dreams.
