Recently, 94-year-old Lin Zhong returned from Hong Kong to the school where she once taught—the junior high section of Zhongshan Overseas Chinese Secondary School(OCSS). Of the six original teachers who founded the school, Lin Zhong—then the only woman on faculty—now stands as the last living legacy. She witnessed the school's arduous founding journey, which began with just 9 staff members (6 of whom were teachers) and 150 students—starting with three seventh-grade classes and eventually growing to include graduating classes in senior high section. Today, it has become Zhongshan's largest comprehensive secondary school, with over 8,000 students, teachers, and staff members. The breeze stirred Lin Zhong's silver hair, and she was filled with a myriad of thoughts and feelings: “It's unbelievable that seventy years later, OCSS has transformed so profoundly.”She sincerely hopes that OCSS will continue to thrive and encourages the students to work hard. “Especially the graduating students should get good grades and bring honor to the school.”
