It rained hard all morning at Luoyang — the kind of rain that falls in sheets and shows no sign of stopping. But new-student orientation went ahead anyway, and not one family stayed home. Parents walked their children through the gate under umbrellas, ready for the one morning every child only gets once: the morning before they become a first-grader.
螺陽這天早上大雨劈哩啪啦下個不停，一點都不留情，但新生訓練照常舉行，螺陽的新生爸媽也不畏風雨，帶著寶貝來參加。這是寶貝這輩子唯一一次的小一新生訓練——在開學前，給孩子一場滿滿的儀式感。
Inside, parents sat down and wrote their children small blessing cards — a quiet way of saying, before the first bell even rings, “I’m proud of you, and I’m letting you go.” The children, meanwhile, made their way through three playful stations built just for them: Healthiest Kid, Quick Eyes and Hands, and Chore Master.
家長們專注地寫下給寶貝滿滿祝福的小卡片；孩子們則到自己的教室裡闖三關——「健康我最水」、「眼明手快」、「家事高手」，每一關都在玩中學、學中玩。
By the end of the morning, each child had a small bag of gifts and a big feeling to match: “I’m ready. I’m about to become a first-grader.” For a parent, letting a child take that step means settling their own heart first — the calmer a family feels inside, the braver a child can be about what comes next.
活動結束時，每個孩子手上都有一袋小禮物，心裡也多了一句話：「我準備好了，我要升小一囉！」對家長來說，讓孩子邁出這一步，得先安頓好自己的心——心裡安頓好了，孩子才更有勇氣面對未知。
One more thing before the bell rings for real: there’s only a week of summer left. Luoyang’s teachers have one gentle reminder for every family — start easing bedtimes and wake-up times back toward a school-day rhythm now, so the first morning of term doesn’t feel like a shock.
開學前的小提醒：暑假只剩最後一週囉！老師們也提醒家長，開始慢慢調整孩子的生理時鐘，讓他們早睡早起，熟悉開學的節奏——把該做的事做好，本身就是一種負責任的態度。
