Teachers, students, alumni, and parents came together, stepping into a futuristic space blending Dehong's red with sleek silver. Together, we enjoyed and participated in a diverse array of captivating activities and performances. At the specially curated phase 2 architectural concept checkpoint, we collectively celebrated and bore witness to the completion of Dehong Shanghai's new campus and the ongoing development of the school, experiencing firsthand its unique charm and excellence.
At the opening ceremony, Mr. David T. Yung, EiM Chief Investment Officer and Dehong Ambassador delivered a congratulatory speech, expressing gratitude for everyone's support.
Ms. Caroline Xu, Executive Principal of Dehong Shanghai, highlighted the significant progress Dehong has made in recent years and expressed gratitude to all. She acknowledged the challenges ahead but emphasized the importance of reflection on the past and shared aspirations for future success.

On this special day, members of the Dehong Shanghai Community presented wishes to the school in their own unique ways. Outstanding performances from bands, orchestras, choirs, dances, and various musical instruments, alongside awe-inspiring scientific show, powerful martial arts demonstrations, and Chinese martial arts, showcased the diverse culture of our family, where tradition and innovation intertwined to create a beautiful tapestry.
The academic and artistic displays were equally impressive. Each brilliant piece not only showcased the talents and efforts of Dehong students but also narrated how the school supports comprehensive student development. Here, every child finds their own stage to shine brightly.
On the sports field, sweat and perseverance intertwined to create the most beautiful scenery. Teachers, students, and parents competed together, and each effort, each leap, encapsulated the love and care of Dehong Shanghai Community, prompting applause for their wholehearted endeavors!
