Zhang Yunfen, the principal of Zhongshan Girls’ High School, said that the Zhongshan Girls’ High School Music Flag Team has a very long history. It is the first school in the country to join the flag team. Over the years, it has been invited to perform or compete in many places and has achieved very good results.

Zhang Yunfen pointed out that due to the impact of the epidemic in recent years, the students have no stage to perform. When the sophomores sent out their requests for performances, many graduates joined the performances one after another. The 42 students who performed spanned from the first year to the third year. .

In addition, this flag gun performance is not only limited to flag guns, but also dances, presented in multiple ways.

Hong Yuchen said that he was very grateful for the invitation from the Presidential Palace. Although he was nervous when accepting media interviews, he should not be nervous when leading the singing of the national anthem because everyone sang together.

As for the state of preparation, he said with a smile that since the final exam is due soon, he plans to prepare again tomorrow.

Hong Yuchen also shared his feelings about winning the 3rd "International Space Station KIBO Robot Programming Challenge". He said that they were very surprised and proud when they won the first place at the time, but they must humbly admit that they received the first place along the way. Many people helped, and thanked the opponent for providing the opportunity to hone their strength.

Tian Jiarong, a tug-of-war member of Jingmeizhong, said that this World Games can successfully win 5 consecutive titles. Thanks to the help of the Chinese Olympic Games, Tug-of-War Association, Jingmeizhong, and Taiwan Normal University, it is possible to achieve such a good result.

I am very excited to be able to lead the singing of the national anthem on behalf of everyone this time, because in the past international competitions were limited to the Olympic format and could only sing the national anthem, so I am very happy to be able to sing the national anthem this time.
