In recent Chair’s Blogs I have been delighted to share with you Award winning entries for this year’s Annual Essay Writing competition, presented in partnership with Peking University. This week I’m very happy to share with you a creative response to the topic of Harmony. One of the strengths of this competition for me is the way in which we encourage and support young people to express responses to the assignment in a variety of media. Desmond Zee, who was awarded joint first prize with Olivia Philips in the 16+ category, submitted a fascinating series of photographs.
Note:
Desmond opens his photo essay with the Chinese expression 醒来 ~ xǐnglái, meaning ‘wake up’.
And ends it with the expression
睡觉 ~ shuì//jiào, meaning ‘sleep’.
