He told me he was meeting me for lunch at our school. Anyway, I quickly changed my clothes and gathered my things and ran out the door. I ran right into Principal Yen, one of my neighbors, who was standing outside my door. Teacher's Day in China is a very big deal. I received presents from a few of my classes.
Many parents take their children's teachers out for banquets.
On Saturday afternoon teachers and administrators from all over Yangzhou came together in Friendship Hall, a huge auditorium, to receive teaching awards and to perform. The staffs of about 20 High Schools from our city performed wonderful songs. Many were patriotic songs from the Chinese Revolution. Each school had spent many hours practicing and had as many as 100 teachers on the stage. They all wore matching outfits and each school had their own style.
