Mr. Lee Cheuk Yee

From 14th April to 17th April, 4 teachers and 40 students in WSCSS went to Xian for cultural exchange. During the trip, we visited Xian Bodi College and met the local students. Moreover, we went to famous historical heritages like Terra-Cotta Warriors, Old City Wall sections and Yanta District. Our students learned outside the classroom by exploring more about Chinese history and the development of modern China.

Students' Sharing

In this study tour, we visited many historical heritages. We learnt many important techniques and developed a right attitude towards historical preservation. Indeed, there are a lot of obstacles in the process of preservation including natural and artificial damages, an overloading number of tourists, the lack of capital and exploitation on the heritages. In order to foster sustainable heritage preservation and guarantee the future inquiry of our history, we should basically follow instructions of the guides while visiting heritages.

Apart from that, we went to Xian Bodi College. It is a well-established school with excellent equipment and facilities. The teaching and school rules are similar to those in Hong Kong schools. We observed a Chinese lesson with the local students which turned out to be a remarkable journey. The experience greatly broadened our horizon.

在四月十四日至四月十七日﹐四位老師和四十位學生到了西安考察。四天的旅程中﹐同學們拜訪了西安博迪中學﹐並與當地學生進行了交流。以外﹐同學們到了兵馬俑、古城牆、大小雁塔等當地名勝古蹟遊玩。是次考察甚為能讓同學更了解祖國的面貌及發展﹐獲益良多。

學生分享

從這一次歷史考察之旅﹐我們學到了去了很多歷史遺跡﹐也學到了很多文物保育的技巧。當局正面對五大保育困難－天然耗損、人為導致破壞、人流過多、文物過度商業化及資金不足。其實，不單單是兵馬俑面臨這些保育困難，全國以至世界各地的文物都面臨以上甚至更多的保育困難，故此，即使我們力量不足，也可以多花心機，從根本着手，例如很簡單的遵從指示，為保存這些具有非凡價值的歷史文物努力，讓我們日後也能看到這些文物，探究過去。

除此以外﹐我們還去了西安博迪中學，博迪中學的環境優美，設備和課外活動亦先進和多。教學手法，師資，校規等大致相同，我們還與當地的中學生共同上了一節中文科﹐令我們眼界大開。
