Students awarded in homework competition
Print Edition
Sixteen Jiading District students received awards in a Chinese Good Homework competition launched by Shanghai Education News website and Shanghai High School Student Post.
Xu Xingning from Liucheng Experimental School won a gold prize while 15 others won bronze awards.
Xu, an eighth grade student, said she won her award for her bartering ability.
She started with a used pen container.
“I stood at a stationery shop like a piece of wood for 10 minutes and dared not to talk to anyone,” said Xu, adding that she is an introvert.
With the help from the shop owner Xu succeeded in trading the pen container for a new calendar.
She kept talking to more strangers and soon the wall calendar was exchanged for a volleyball, and the volleyball for a jigsaw puzzle.
Bartering skills
Xu said she got the idea after hearing about the story of Kyle MacDonald, a Canadian who in 2006 bartered a villa with his single red paper clip through a series of trades.
Sixth grader Zhao Lingyun won a bronze prize in the “Most Beautiful Shanghai” category.
She painted tramcars running between different buildings in European styles and added some beautiful women dressed in cheongsam walking in the street for shopping.
“I wanted to show the charm of Shanghai with my imagination,” Zhao said.
Famous painter Huang Shi said Zhao created old Shanghai while at the same time catching its modernity.
