On the morning of September 27, 2017, a ceremony showcasing the 30-year achievements of the Xinpai Composition Program was held at our school, attended by more than two hundred experts, scholars, and teacher representatives in composition instruction from both within and outside the district, who came to observe and offer guidance.

At 8:00 a.m., the delegation, accompanied by our school’s Vice Principal and leading figure in the New‑Style Composition movement, Teacher Yuan Gang, as well as Vice Principal Luo Zhousheng, who oversees academic affairs, first toured the exhibition showcasing 30 years of achievements in New‑Style Composition. The attending experts and teachers were deeply moved by the New‑Style team—led by Teacher Yuan Gang—for its unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence in composition instruction over three decades, and they expressed their admiration for the remarkable accomplishments the team has attained in this field.

Our school serves as the headquarters teaching base for Xinpai Composition. Since forming a partnership with Xinpai in August 2015, over the past two-plus years we have undertaken teacher‑training programs at various levels, conducted pedagogical seminars and summative workshops for dissemination, and hosted public composition‑teaching demonstrations. Under the guidance of renowned educators, our Chinese teachers have also made significant strides in their composition instruction. The demonstration of thirty years’ achievements in Xinpai Composition, held on the morning of the 27th, along with open classroom observations, served as both an assessment and a validation of our school’s work in this area.

Originally scheduled for the third and fourth periods, this event was unexpectedly transformed when the delegation arrived at the school before 8:00 a.m. In response, headquarters requested that we hastily arrange a demonstration lesson in the recording studio. With no time to prepare, Ms. Fan Ting, a junior high school Chinese teacher at our school, immediately stepped into the studio—after briefly composing herself—and delivered a new‑style composition‑teaching demonstration that earned high praise from the visiting experts, truly embodying the essence of this approach: “authenticity and efficiency.”

This open‑class observation event featured a total of 30 teaching classes across grades 2 through 8 at our school, with more than 60 demonstration lessons. The sessions were jointly conducted by the Chinese teachers of the respective classes and by teachers from several pilot schools in Tianyang and Nanning. During the two‑hour period, visiting expert educators could enter any of these classrooms and readily sense the “new‑style” approach. By bringing together both on‑campus and external teachers to compete on the same stage, this showcase inaugurated a new model for classroom instruction at our school, marking a milestone in our pedagogical development.

At the event’s closing session, Director Lu Yun of the Teaching and Research Department at Guangxi Academy of Education highly commended this round of open‑class observations for showcasing the New‑Style Composition approach, while encouraging all participants to remain passionate, diligently put theory into practice, and usher in a new chapter in New‑Style Composition instruction.
