Congratulations to Our School Cross-country Team

It is the first time that our cross-country team gets the team prizes in the inter-school competition. Our athletes have put up a lot of effort for the competition. Long-distance running needs patience and persistence, just like our paths of life, full of obstacles, temptations and difficulties. Sometimes we will lose our directions, miss our goals and even want to give up. However, if we can get over the difficulties through our diligence, we will succeed and have achievements one day.”
