Research activity of abccsc-------“closing to Beinng Hutong”

On October 30, 2009, all the grade 10 students and teachers from BCCSC were invited to study a “Hutong”, located near Houhai and Nan Luo Gu Xiang, in order to continue their studies of “Beijing Hutong Civilization”. This activity brought students into a real Beijing Hutong and achieved the goal of studying Hutongs in a meaningful way.

As students visited more than 16 Hutongs around Nan Luo Gu Xiang, they experienced and further understood Hutong life which they have been studying through textbooks and the media. During this activity, students showed high interest in Hutong civilization. They wandered alleys, took photographs to remember the trip, learned more history from some old men and heard more about Hutongs from their teachers.

Students walked from Mao Er Hutong to Yan Dai Street, stopped on Yingding Bridge, experienced the charm and culture of Beijing and gathered together at the residence of Guo Moruo to remember this great master of literature.

During this activity, all the students from Gr.10 behaved very well. They wore clean and tidy clothes and showed their polite and proper behavior to all the visitors. At the end of this activity, there were many good comments from students, teachers and Hutong residents.
