On March 16, as spring was in the air, a group of vibrant teenagers gathered on the Mutianyu Great Wall. The ninth-grade students of Beijing Zhengze School held a swearing-in ceremony for the 100-day sprint of the high school entrance exam with the theme of "March Forward Hand in Hand, Brave the Heights". On the winding and magnificent Great Wall, the students measured history with their steps, ignited their dreams with oaths, integrated the passion of youth with the perseverance of the Great Wall, and jointly embarked on the magnificent journey of the 100-day sprint.

The meaningful journey began the moment the students stepped onto the Great Wall. First, they wrote down their wishes on the towering Great Wall and put them into a "wish box", entrusting their original dreams to the witness of the Great Wall with solemnity. Along the way, teachers and students put their palms together at the open space on the city wall and shouted "Cheer for the high school entrance exam" in unison, gathering the united and upward strength with the earth-shaking cries. Later, encouraged by the teachers, everyone shouted out their goals loudly and joined hands to form an arrow-shaped formation on the winding Great Wall — taking the Great Wall as the bow and themselves as the arrows, vowing to set their sights on the target and hit it in one go. Finally, the students jumped up vigorously at the foot of the Great Wall to touch the koi fish at the "Dragon Gate" and signed their names solemnly on the banner, freezing their courage and promises at this moment. The towering Great Wall witnesses the courage of this leap and will surely witness their glory of achieving excellent results in the exam in July!

From making initial wishes to working together, from setting clear goals to leaping over the dragon gate, this 100-day swearing-in ceremony for the high school entrance exam with the theme of "March Forward Hand in Hand, Brave the Heights" not only allowed Zhengze students to release pressure on the top of the Great Wall, but also enabled them to draw strength for moving forward under the witness of the ancient civilization. With its thousands of years of grandeur, the Mutianyu Great Wall sends the sincerest wishes to the students of Zhengze School: May you ride on the wings of your dreams, live up to your youth, win the high school entrance exam, and have a promising future!
