On February 24th, Hebei Hengshui Middle School held an online flag-raising ceremony under the theme of “Gathering in the Air, Confronting the Epidemic”. The principal acted as a flag-raiser, and stood on the podium of a person, facing the empty playground, and gave a speech. The attendees were only the school leaders and grade directors.
All teachers and students participated in the flag-raising ceremony live at home.
Hengshui Middle School is a famous school with its own traffic. For Chinese parents, its sacredness is no less than that of the Qing Dynasty. It is ranked first in the “Top 500 Middle Schools in China’s Discipline Contest”, and those with a score of 600 or above in the college entrance examination account for nearly 70% of the school. It has attracted much attention because of its outstanding rate of enrollment and the mystery of dominating the peak of the Chinese college entrance examination for many years.
So as soon as the flag-raising ceremony came out, Hengshui Middle School soon went on a hot search.
Of course, hot search means that it will be sprayed. If you think about it with your toes, you can guess that some people will give a judgment very quickly: “Formalism in Hengshui Middle School.”
A lot of people, as soon as they see a ceremony in the school, will scold “formalism” and “make a show” without thinking.
This is excusable. Because parents are really scared and annoyed by formalism.
Too much formalism creates countless troubles for students and parents, but there is no way to sue. Only when I saw other schools engaging in formalism on the Internet, I cursed by the way, venting my anger.
But before the flag-raising ceremony of Hengshui Middle School, it is more important to look at the content of the principal’s speech before discussing the form and process.
