At Ease, Soldier

During our two years in Hong Kong, I have had the chance to visit several Chinese schools –both locally and in the Mainland- doing service projects. I am sure that the students at both of these schools are very good at a wide variety of things. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to bear witness to most of those things; except for one.

Chinese students in both Hong Kong and the Mainland are very, very good at lining up. Their lines are impeccably straight. If you have a gymnasium full of students and you ask them to line up by class, they will give you a perfect 20x20 grid with equal spacing between students.


Impressive.
