Have found “Wild China”, a great BBC program regarding China and Chinese culture. In the future weeks, I will post all of them as a good introduction to China and its culture. The first documentary is “Heart of the Dragon”
We know, Chengdu, not far from Wenchuan, went through the massive earthquake in May. Now life has been back to the track. Here is a commercial video about Chengdu. Chengdu is still the same charming city. Hope I will visit it soon…
Found some fantastic postcard designs under the theme of “Year of China, Year of Olympics” from a design contest held by 视觉同盟. If you search for Chinese elements, you won’t be disappointed.
Today is the end of the school. I wish all the children happy summer holidays!

The major color of the Chinese national flag is red (红hóng) . The 5 stars are in bright yellow (黄huáng). It is called Five-Starred Red Flag, in Chinese, it is 五星红旗(wǔ xīng hóng qí) .
We now know 红 is red. Follow the instruction in the video clip from linese.com to learn how to write the word.
The world is colorful. Colors are so important that we see them, touch them, play with them all the time. When we ask kids questions, we may not get any answer; but if we ask them what colors they like the most, we are sure to get responses: boys tend to answer “blue“（蓝), little girls “pink”(粉红）.
We get to know the basic colors. OK, let’s list them below:
Red - 红 hóng
Blue - 蓝 lán
Yellow - 黄 huáng
Green - 绿 lǜ
White - 白 bái
Black - 黑 hēi
Orange - 橙 chéng
