“In the early summer, the weather was refreshing and the grass did not wither because of sun exposure” (a rough translation of two lines from a poem by Xie Lingyun, a poet of the Song Kingdom (420-479) in the Southern Dynasties). In the late spring and early summer, the Beijing Kaiwen Academy (KWA) secondary school students made a long-awaited spring tour to Cuandixia Village on May 11, 2018. Led by teachers, the students visited this historical and cultural ancient village nestled in a deep mountain gorge in western Beijing. While embracing nature and admiring distinctive ancient buildings, the students experienced its long history and profound culture, and received a revolutionary traditional education.
