On the afternoons of December 7th and 8th, Tsinghua University High School hosted its 20th commemoration of the "December 9th Movement" with a short historical drama exhibition in the school auditorium. Over 800 participants, including teachers, students of the senior 23rd division, and parent representatives, attended the event. Under the theme of "Youthful Journey to Progress", the exhibition featured 17 class performances divided into four major chapters. Through their original creations and interpretations, the students vividly portrayed a tableau of the struggle and the unity of the Chinese people. This narrative spanned from the May Fourth Movement to the new era, highlighting the relentless efforts in salvation, perseverance, and innovative development. The performances sketched an outline of China's remarkable achievements in various realms - from standing up and becoming prosperous, to growing strong. The students' portrayal touched on many aspects including economic development, political and diplomatic affairs, cultural prosperity, social progress, rural revitalization, and the journey to becoming a technological powerhouse.
