Celebrities prove to be a class act
China DailyChinese swimmer and Olympic champion Sun Yang high-fives a girl at a recent launch of the new season of A-Class, a reality show featuring star teachers and primary school students. On a grassy hillside where, here and there, a flock of sheep and cows are grazing, 30 or so primary school students gather in a circle around actor Wang Luoyong, following his directions to mimic the traits of an eagle, a rooster, a wolf and other animals. It's not an acting workshop, but a special Chinese class in which Wang teaches attendees of a remote primary school in Hezhang county, Southwest China's Guizhou province, how to understand the animal-related tales from the legendary Qing Dynasty writer, Pu Songling. Last year, Wang took part in the first season of the reality TV show A-Class, which invited 21 star guests-including actor Pu Cunxin, actress Xu Fan, novelist Mai Jia, Peking Opera artist Wang Peiyu and entrepreneur Feng Lun-to travel to different parts of China and play the role of a teacher of Chinese for three days at a local primary school.
