In July 2020, Luo Zixin, a student at Changsha No 1 High School, celebrated the ending of the national college
entrance exam with a split leap. The moment was snapped by a photographer, which quickly went viral online. This
photo, which is widely thought to symbolize Chinese youngsters’ optimistic spirit toward finishing the exam amid

college entrance examination, anti-pandemic stories, struggling with floods and other aspects, vividly restoring the

for themselves, for school, for their families, for society, and for the future of China. This TV series uses the lens to

I climbed up a ladder to the roof of our house, catching a book about the evolution of animals. I was 10 years
old, and I’d just finished cooking dinner for my entire family—a task that was my daily responsibility. We didn’t
have any lamps in our house, so I needed sunlight to read my book. I didn’t know it at the time? but that study
routine was my ticket to a career as a scientist.
I had a passion for learning, and when I was allowed to go to school, I quickly shot to the top of my class.
When I was 10 years old, my father sent me to a better school, which was mostly attended by students from
wealthier families. I was at the top of the class there, too, but I was treated poorly by classmates who saw me as a
child of the poor areas. When I graduated from high school, I wanted to become an engineer? but my father said I
couldn’t study engineering because it was for boys； he said I should study food science instead. My first reaction
was that food science was the last thing I wanted to study. After a childhood preparing meals for my family, there
第3页/共 10页
was nothing I hated more than cooking. I enrolled in a food science program anyway, and I quickly discovered that
food science wasn’t so bad.
In the years that followed, I received a PhD in food engineering and wanted to handle malnutrition (营养不良)
in slums. Other researchers laughed at me, but I’ve proved them wrong. My work has won numerous national and
international awards and companies, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies have all sought my
expertise.
In my life, I’ve faced poverty, hunger, and discrimination, but I didn’t let them hold me back. I hope others
can take inspiration from my story and realize that—despite the challenges they may be facing—they, too, can
make it.

It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what
happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts（地区）.
The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in
September. In some other school districts, school begins in mid-to-late August. For example, the Denver, Colorado
schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday
in September. The Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Diego schools start back on the Tuesday or
Wednesday after the first Monday in September.
Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in
the 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extreme
cold. In the 1978-1979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August,
one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980-1981 school year.
