万双网讯   2026年9月21日，万科双语学校举行2026-2027学年第一学期第4周升旗仪式。本周升旗由6D班负责。周睿和（Qiqi）、杨泽宇（Zeyu）担任主持人，殷唯（Emma）、钟依辰（Lucas）、王悠然（Kiki）担任升旗手。护旗方阵由6D班全体同学组成。多元、团结、友善、奋进，思辨求真、知行担当、共进成长是6D班的目标，他们共同完成了庄严的升旗环节。

On September 21st, 2026, Vanke Bilingual School held its fourth flag-raising ceremony for the first semester of the 2026-2027 academic year. Class 6D was responsible for this week’s ceremony. Qiqi and Zeyu served as hosts, while Emma, Lucas, and Kiki served as the flag raisers. The flag escort consisted of the rest of the students from Class 6D. Diversity, unity, kindness, and striving for excellence with critical thinking and the pursuit of truth, as well as putting knowledge into action, taking responsibility, and growing together, are the goals of Class 6D. Together, the students completed the solemn flag-raising ceremony.

在国旗下讲话环节，林芮（Rachel）、廖镇霆（Bill）两位同学带来了主题为《勿忘国耻，强我国防》的中英双语演讲。九月，是铭刻民族记忆的月份。每年9月18日，全国都会拉响防空警报，那低沉而悠长的警报声提醒我们：不要忘记过去的苦难。九月第三个星期六，是全民国防教育日，这两个日子紧密相连，共同诉说着一个朴素而深刻的道理：和平来之不易，没有强大的祖国和坚实的国防，就没有今天安宁幸福的生活。

During the Speech Under the National Flag, Rachel and Bill delivered a bilingual speech in Chinese and English entitled “Never Forget the National Humiliation and Strengthen Our National Defense.” September is a month deeply engraved in our national memory. Every year on September 18th, air-raid sirens sound across the country. Their deep and prolonged wails remind us never to forget the suffering of the past. The third Saturday of September is National Defense Education Day. These two dates are closely connected, conveying a simple yet profound truth: peace has not come easily. Without a strong country and solid national defense, the peaceful and happy life we enjoy today would not be possible.

两位同学带领大家回望1931年9月18日——日军蓄意挑起九一八事变，炮轰东北军营，短短数月东北三省全部沦陷。这段屈辱的历史警示我们：落后就要挨打。但危难之际，中华民族挺身而出、不畏强敌的抗争精神同样闪耀。历史是一面镜子，照见屈辱的过去，也照亮前行的方向。

The two students led everyone back to September 18th of 1931, when the Japanese army deliberately provoked the September 18th Incident and shelled the barracks of the Northeast Army. Within only a few months, all three northeastern provinces had fallen. This humiliating chapter of history warns us that weakness and backwardness leave a nation vulnerable to aggression. Yet in that moment of national crisis, the Chinese nation also demonstrated a courageous spirit of resistance, standing up in the face of adversity and refusing to yield to a powerful enemy. History is a mirror that reflects a humiliating past while also illuminating the way forward.

“国无防不立，民无防不安。” 两位同学进一步指出，国防并非只是军人的职责，而是与每一个人息息相关。正是因为有强大的国防，同学们才能坐在明亮的教室里安心读书，才能在美丽的校园里追逐梦想。战士们守海疆、驻哨所、护蓝天，用青春和热血守护着万家灯火。两位同学呼吁：新时代少年既要开阔眼界、拥抱世界，也要铭记历史、热爱祖国，把爱国之情落实到行动中，做懂历史、有格局、敢担当的新时代少年。历史是最好的教科书，国防是最坚实的屏障，唯有铭记来路、心系家国，方能在新时代的征程中挺立潮头。

“A country cannot stand without national defense, and its people cannot live in security without it.” The two students further pointed out that national defense is not solely the responsibility of its military personnel; it is also closely connected with each and every one of us. It is precisely because of our strong national defense that students are able to study with peace of mind in bright classrooms and pursue their dreams on a beautiful campus. Service members guard the country’s maritime frontiers, stand watch at outposts, and protect its skies, safeguarding the lights of countless homes with their youth and dedication. The two students called on young people of the new era to broaden their horizons and embrace the world while remembering history and loving their country, translating their patriotism into concrete actions and becoming young people of the new era who understand history, possess a broad vision, and have the courage to take on responsibility. History is the best textbook, and national defense is the strongest shield. Only by remembering the path we have traveled and keeping our country close to our hearts can we stand at the forefront of the new era.

随后，邹继伟老师就大课间调整方案向全校师生作了说明。根据学校研究决定，自即日起，7—9年级大课间由原上午9:00—9:30调整为每天早上8:00—8:20；1—6年级仍维持9:00—9:30不变。其中，1—3年级活动场地调整至足球场，五年级则由跳绳改为跑操。邹老师指出，这一调整并非简单的时间前移，而是立足九年一贯制办学特点，综合考量学生身心发展差异与学习规律后作出的科学安排。从身心发展来看，7—9年级学生正值青春期，晨间适度运动有助于唤醒身体机能、调节情绪状态；1—6年级学生则需要更充足的睡眠与更平缓的过渡，错峰安排既能避免场地拥挤，也能让运动更加安全有序。从学习效率来看，适度运动可促进多巴胺、内啡肽分泌，使学生更加清醒专注，从而提升课堂效率。

Afterwards, Teacher Zou Jiwei explained the adjustment to the extended break schedule for all teachers and students. Following the school’s review and decision, effective immediately, the extended break for Grades 7-9 will be changed from the previous 9:00-9:30 a.m. to 8:00-8:20 a.m. each day, while the 9:00-9:30 a.m. schedule for Grades 1-6 will remain unchanged. The activity venue for Grades 1-3 will be moved to the football field, while Grade 5 students will switch from rope skipping to group running exercises. Teacher Zou pointed out that the adjustment is more than a simple change to an earlier time. Based on the characteristics of the school’s nine-year integrated education system, it is a carefully considered arrangement that takes into account differences in students’ physical and psychological development as well as their learning patterns. From the perspective of physical and psychological development, students in Grades 7-9 are going through adolescence, and moderate morning exercise can help activate bodily functions and regulate their emotional state. Students in Grades 1-6, meanwhile, need more sufficient sleep and a gentler transition into the school day. Staggering the schedules can both prevent overcrowding at activity venues and make exercise safer and more orderly. From the perspective of learning efficiency, moderate exercise can promote the release of dopamine and endorphins, helping students become more alert and focused and thereby improving classroom efficiency.

为推动调整落到实处，邹老师向同学们提出几点具体要求：按时到校，不迟到；吃好早餐，不空腹运动；穿着运动鞋及适合运动的服装；身体不适须提前向老师报告；运动时不敷衍、不打闹，真正把大课间变成唤醒身体、调整状态的有效时段。他希望全体师生理解、支持并落实好此次调整，让大课间成为每天清晨的“启动键”，开启健康、高效、积极的一天。愿每一位万双学子在晨光中跑出青春加速度，以强健体魄担当时代使命。

To ensure that the adjustment is effectively implemented, Teacher Zou set out several specific requirements for students: arrive at school on time and do not be late; eat a proper breakfast and do not exercise on an empty stomach; wear athletic shoes and clothing suitable for exercise; report any physical discomfort to teachers in advance; and take exercise seriously without fooling around, so that the extended break can truly become an effective period for activating the body and adjusting one’s physical and mental state. He expressed the hope that all teachers and students would understand, support, and properly implement the adjustment, turning the extended break into a daily morning “start button” for a healthy, efficient, and positive day. May every VBS student accelerate through youth in the morning light and shoulder the responsibilities of the times with a strong and healthy body.

接着，牛星淇老师向全校师生郑重推介了即将亮相校园的“时代印记：深圳四十五年光影长卷”主题展览。1980年8月26日，深圳经济特区正式获批设立。四十余载光阴，于历史长卷中不过寥寥数笔，但对深圳这座城市而言，却书写了一部从边陲小镇跃升为国际化大都市的壮丽史诗。为铭记这段非凡历程，深圳市档案馆与中共深圳市委党史文献研究室精心撷取珍贵影像，汇聚成一幅恢弘的“时光长卷”。自9月22日起，这幅长卷的精华篇章将在校园内展出。

Next, Teacher Niu Xingqi formally introduced to all teachers and students the upcoming themed exhibition, “Imprints of an Era: A 45-Year Visual Chronicle of Shenzhen.” On August 26th, 1980, the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was officially approved. More than four decades may amount to only a few strokes in the long scroll of history, yet for the city of Shenzhen, they have written a magnificent epic of transformation from a small frontier town into an international metropolis. To commemorate this extraordinary journey, the Shenzhen Municipal Archives and the Party History and Literature Research Office of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee carefully selected a collection of precious images and brought them together into a magnificent “scroll of time.” Beginning on September 22nd, highlights from this visual chronicle will be exhibited on campus.

牛老师深情地说，当年，无数建设者怀揣理想奔赴这片热土，他们以双手为笔、以汗水为墨，一砖一瓦地垒起了这座城市的脊梁。那些奋斗拼搏的身影，被一帧帧镜头悄然定格，凝结为承载岁月温度与城市记忆的珍贵照片。这些影像，既是深圳拔节生长的生动缩影，也是一代人青春与热血的无声见证。它们将引领师生穿越时光长廊，触摸城市跳动的脉搏，感悟父辈披荆斩棘的奋斗荣光。

Teacher Niu spoke with deep feeling about the countless builders who came to this dynamic land with ideals in their hearts. With their hands as pens and their sweat as ink, they built the backbone of the city brick by brick. Their figures, striving and working tirelessly, were quietly captured frame by frame and preserved as precious photographs bearing the warmth of the passing years and the memory of the city. These images offer a vivid microcosm of Shenzhen’s rapid growth and stand as silent witnesses to the youth, dedication, and passion of a generation. They will guide teachers and students through a corridor of time, allowing them to feel the pulse of the city and appreciate the hard-won achievements of the generations before them.

伴随着全体师生热烈的掌声，本次升旗仪式圆满落下帷幕。从历史警钟到健康行动，从特区记忆到未来担当，万双学子正以知行合一的姿态，将个人成长融入国家发展，努力成长为有理想、敢担当、能吃苦、肯奋斗的新时代接班人，让青春在全面建设社会主义现代化国家的火热实践中绽放绚丽之花！

Amidst warm applause, the flag-raising ceremony came to a successful close. From the lessons and warnings of history to actions for better health, and from memories of the Special Economic Zone to responsibilities for the future, VBS students are integrating knowledge with action and linking their personal growth with the development of the country. They are striving to become successors for the new era who have ideals, dare to shoulder responsibility, endure hardship, and are willing to strive, allowing their youth to blossom brilliantly in their vigorous endeavors to build a modern socialist country.

附演讲稿（中英双语）：

勿忘国耻，强我国防

Dear teachers and dear classmates, 

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

Good morning, everyone! Today my speech under the national flag is: Never Forget Our National Shame and Build Up Our Nation’s Defense.

大家早上好！今天我国旗下演讲的主题是：勿忘国耻，强我国防。

September is a month for us to remember history. Every year on September 18th, air-raid alarms sound across our country. They remind us not to forget the hard days of the past. The third Saturday of September is National Defense Education Day. These alarms tell us: peace is not easy to get. Our happy and safe life comes from a strong country and strong national defense.

九月，是铭记历史的月份。每到9月18日，全国都会响起防空警报，提醒我们不要忘记过去苦难的岁月。九月第三个星期六是全民国防教育日。警报声告诉我们：和平不是理所当然的。我们安稳幸福的生活，离不开强大的祖国和稳固的国防。

September 18th, 1931, is a day no Chinese person can forget. On that night, Japanese soldiers started a fight and attacked army camps in Northeastern China. That was the September 18th Incident. Within a few months, the three provinces in Northeast China fell. Millions of our people had to leave their homes. They lived through war and had a very hard time. This sad history teaches us: a weak country gets bullied. It also shows how brave these Chinese people were when they fought to save our motherland.

1931年9月18日，是所有中国人不能忘记的日子。当晚，日军挑起事端，炮轰东北军营，九一八事变就此爆发。短短几个月，东北三省沦陷。千万同胞被迫离开家园，饱受战乱之苦。这段沉痛的历史告诉我们：落后就要挨打。也展现出中华民族救国救民、不畏强敌的勇敢精神。

A country cannot stand without defense, and people cannot live safely without it. We have National Defense Education Day to help us remember the hard days of the past. Even in peaceful days, we need to stay careful. Many of you may think national defense has nothing to do with us, and it is only the soldiers’ job. But that’s not true. National defense has to do with every one of us. Thanks to a strong defense, we can study happily at school.

国无防不立，民无防不安。设立全民国防教育日，就是让我们记住苦难。就算生活在和平年代，也要有危机意识。很多同学觉得国防离我们很远，只是军人的事。但并不是这样。国防和我们每个人都有关系。正是强大的国防，我们才能安心在校学习。

We grow up in peaceful times and study in beautiful schools. We never see wars. But peace does not just appear. Soldiers guard our seas. Fighter planes fly to protect our sky. Strong weapons stand in the Gobi. Guards keep watch at faraway borders. They protect us quietly. Because of them, families live in peace, and we young people can grow up well.

我们生长在和平年代，在美丽的校园读书，不用经历战火。但和平不会凭空而来。战士守护海疆，战机巡航蓝天，戈壁矗立大国重器，边防军人驻守哨所。他们默默守护着我们。正因为有他们，万家灯火安宁，我们少年才能健康成长。

As young people in the new age, we need to learn about the world and love our homeland deeply. We cannot go to the border to protect our land right now, but we have important things to do. The more we see of the world, the more we should respect history. The bigger our dreams are, the more we should remember our duty to our country. 

作为新时代少年，我们既要开阔眼界，也要深深热爱祖国。我们现在还不能奔赴边疆保卫国土，但我们肩负重要责任。眼界越开阔，越要敬畏历史；志向越远大，越要牢记家国使命。

We should remember history and stay careful even in peace. We need to work hard, value our time at school and learn useful skills. Most importantly, we should keep our country in our heart. Turn our love for the country into small actions. Don’t just dream, but do things step by step.

我们要铭记历史，居安思危。勤奋努力，珍惜校园时光，学好本领。更要心怀家国，把爱国之情落实在小事上，不空想，脚踏实地行动。

Dear classmates, the warning bell of history keeps ringing. The task of building a strong country passes to us. Our motherland stays safe with strong defenses. If young people work hard, our country will become better. Let’s remember history and keep moving forward. Let’s be young people who know history, have big hearts and are not afraid to take on responsibility. We will protect our great motherland with our youth!

同学们，历史的警钟一直在回响，建设强国的接力棒交到我们手上。祖国平安依靠强大国防；少年奋发，祖国才会更加繁荣。让我们铭记历史、努力向上，做懂历史、有格局、敢担当的新时代少年，用青春守护祖国大好河山！

That’s all for my speech. Thank you! 

我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家！

附邹继伟老师关于大课间调整的说明：

A Statement from Teacher Zou Jiwei on the Adjustment to the Morning Exercise Session

尊敬的各位老师，亲爱的同学们：

Dear teachers and students, 

大家好！

Good morning!

今天，我就大课间调整向大家作一个说明。经学校研究决定，从今天起，7-9年级大课间时间由原来上午9:00-9:30，调整为每天早上8:00-8:20；1-6年级仍保持9:00-9:30不变。其中，1-3年级大课间场地调整至足球场，5年级由跳绳改为跑操。

Today, I would like to explain the adjustment to our morning exercise session. After discussion and decision-making by the school, starting today, the morning exercise time for grades 7 to 9 will be moved from the original 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 to 8:20 a.m. every morning. Grades 1 to 6 will remain unchanged at 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. In addition, the venue for grades 1 to 3 will be relocated to the football field, and grade 5 will switch from rope skipping to running.

这不是简单地把时间提前，而是学校结合九年一贯制特点、同学们身心发展差异和学习规律，作出的一次科学调整。

This is not simply moving the time earlier. It is a scientific adjustment made by the school in light of the characteristics of a nine-year continuous school, the differences in students' physical and mental development, and the patterns of learning.

首先，从身心发展角度看，7-9年级同学正处在青春期，精力旺盛，运动需求明显增强。早晨8:00-8:20进行适度运动，可以帮助同学们更快唤醒身体，促进血液循环，调节情绪，释放压力。而1-6年级的同学身体还在稳步发育，需要更充足的睡眠和更平缓的过渡，继续把大课间安排在9:00-9:30，更符合小学生的身心特点。这样错峰安排，也能避免操场拥挤，让运动更安全、更有序，同时1-3年级也可以进入操场，和大家一起享受阳光、尽情运动。

First, from the perspective of physical and mental development, students in grades 7 to 9 are in adolescence, with abundant energy and a noticeably greater need for exercise. Moderate exercise from 8:00 to 8:20 in the morning can help students wake up their bodies more quickly, promote blood circulation, regulate emotions, and release stress. Students in grades 1 to 6, however, are still developing steadily and need more adequate sleep and a gentler transition. Keeping their morning exercise at 9:00 to 9:30 is therefore more consistent with the physical and mental characteristics of primary school students. This staggered arrangement can also prevent overcrowding on the playground, making exercise safer and more orderly. At the same time, grades 1 to 3 can also enter the playground to enjoy the sunshine and exercise together with everyone else.

其次，从学习角度看，把7-9年级大课间提前，有助于提高上午课堂效率。早晨适度运动后，人体会分泌多巴胺、内啡肽等物质，让人更清醒、更专注、更愉快。8:00-8:20运动，8:20后稍作休整，再进入第一节课，同学们往往注意力更集中，记忆效果更好，课堂状态也更积极。

Second, from the perspective of learning, moving the morning exercise for grades 7 to 9 earlier helps improve classroom efficiency in the morning. After moderate morning exercise, the body secretes substances such as dopamine and endorphins, which make people more alert, more focused, and happier. Exercising from 8:00 to 8:20, taking a short rest after 8:20, and then entering the first class often means students are more attentive, remember better, and show more positive emotions in class.

为了让调整真正发挥作用，我们需要共同做到以下几点：

To make this adjustment truly effective, we need to do the following together.

对同学们来说：请按时到校，不迟到；一定要吃好早餐，不空腹运动；穿运动鞋和适合运动的服装；如果身体不适，要提前向老师报告。运动时认真参与，不敷衍、不打闹，把大课间变成唤醒身体、调整状态的时间。

For students: please arrive at school on time and do not be late. Be sure to eat a good breakfast and do not exercise on an empty stomach. Wear sports shoes and clothing suitable for exercise. If you feel unwell, report it to your teacher in advance. During exercise, participate seriously and do not be dismissive or playful. Turn the morning exercise session into a time to awaken your body and adjust your mood.

老师们、同学们，大课间是健康校园生活的重要组成部分。希望我们共同理解、支持并落实好这次调整。大课间成为我们每天早晨的“启动键”，也成为我们健康、高效、积极一天的开始。

Teachers and students, the morning exercise session is an important part of a healthy campus life. I hope we can all understand, support, and implement this adjustment well. Let the morning exercise session become the start button for each morning and the beginning of a healthy, efficient, and positive day.

谢谢大家！

Thank you all.

附牛星淇老师关于主题展览的介绍：

A Statement from Teacher Niu Xingqi's Introduction to the Theme Exhibition

各位老师、同学们，大家早上好！

Dear teachers and students, good morning!

同学们还记得吗？之前我们在校园里看过"古代深圳"的展览，了解了这片土地千百年前的模样。而今天，我们要翻开深圳故事的另一页——属于我们父辈、甚至属于我们自己的那一页。

Do you still remember the exhibition “Ancient Shenzhen” we saw on campus earlier, which showed us what this land was like hundreds and thousands of years ago? Today, we are turning to another page of Shenzhen’s story, one that belongs to our parents’ generation, and even to ourselves.

1980年8月26日，深圳经济特区正式成立。四十多年，在历史长河中只是一瞬，但对于深圳来说，却是一部从边陲小镇到国际化大都市的奇迹史。当年那些来到这片土地上的建设者，很多人的年龄只比现在的你们大十几岁——他们带着梦想南下，用双手一点点建起了这座城市。那些奋斗的身影，被镜头定格成了一张张珍贵的照片。

On August 26th, 1980, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was officially established. More than forty years is just a moment in the long course of history, but for Shenzhen, it has been a miraculous history of transformation from a small border town to an international metropolis. Many of the builders who came to this land back then were only a dozen or so years older than you are now. They came south with dreams and built this city little by little with their own hands. Those striving figures were captured by cameras and turned into precious photographs.

为了纪念这段历程，深圳市档案馆和中共深圳市委党史文献研究室将这些珍贵的影像汇聚成一幅"时光长卷"。从9月22日开始，这幅长卷的精华部分将在我们校园里展出，就在我们身边，触手可及。

To commemorate this journey, the Shenzhen Municipal Archives and the Party History and Literature Research Office of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee have gathered these precious images into a "scroll of time." Starting from September 22nd, the highlights of this scroll will be exhibited on our campus, right beside us and within easy reach.

因为展区空间有限，各年级会分批前往参观。观展时请大家要听从老师引导、安静有序地观看，让每一位同学都能好好感受这段历史。

Because the exhibition area is limited, each grade will visit in batches. During the visit, please follow your teachers' guidance and watch quietly and in an orderly manner, so that every student can properly experience this period of history.

同学们，这些照片里的高楼、马路、车站，很多就在你家附近；照片里那些活动场景，可能就是你的父母、你的邻居曾经组织、参与的事情。深圳的今天，是他们用青春换来的。去看一看吧——看看这座城市曾经的样子，也看看自己脚下这片土地，到底藏着多少动人的故事。

Students, the high-rise buildings, roads, and stations in these photographs are may be located near your homes. The scenes of activities in the photographs may be events that your parents or your neighbors once organized or took part in. Shenzhen today was purchased with their youth. Go and take a look. See what this city once looked like, and see how many moving stories are hidden in this land beneath your feet.

最后，预祝同学们在展览中有所见、有所感。也欢迎老师们前往观展，一起重温深圳的发展之路。

Finally, I wish you all a meaningful and rewarding experience at the exhibition. Teachers are also welcome to visit and revisit Shenzhen's path of development together.

谢谢大家！

Thank you!
