My Dear Little Ones:

How time flies! It's children's holiday - June 1st International Children's Day! On behalf of all the students of the Dance School of National Ballet of China, I would like to say Happy Children's Day to all of you!

All the children and teenagers of the country had a different winter holiday this year. I used to look forward to the Chinese New Year when I would wear beautiful new clothes, have big meals with my parents, buy toys, and go to the playground with my friends. But this year, we can only stay at home, like birds in cages. Later, my parents told me that a "monster" called the coronavirus was out there endangering human life, and that it not only has the superpower of stealth, but also is particularly fierce. In order to defeat it, Grandpa Zhong Nanshan, Grandma Li Lanjuan and countless medical workers are risking their lives every day to fight against the "monster". Since then, I have learned more about cherishing, gratitude, and responsibility. Dear friends, on this holiday, which belongs to us the minor, let us bow deeply to those medical workers who have fought bravely against the pandemic to protect our home, and say thank you. You have worked hard!

My dear friends, have you gotten new skills during these days of home study life? In addition to the daily online ballet and culture classes, now I am trying to choreograph my own dance, and I also studied video editing. I shared my dance videos on the Internet and received many likes; I learned to make cakes as well, and when we return to school, I will definitely bring my own food to share with my classmates. Dear friends, although we can't stand on the stage to convey the joy of Children's Day as we did last year, students from all over the country have made a video of their wishes, hoping that this wish will fly to you and accompany you and me in this special moment.

Wish you a happy Children's Day!
