WAB Graduation 2012Aaron's graduation from WAB was held Saturday June 2, in Beijing at the 700-year-old Confucian Temple, in front of the Hall of Great Achievements. The Confucian Temple is symbolically a great place to hold a ceremony like this, since it is here that for 600 years (from 1300 to 1900) scholars who passed the highest level of the imperial exams were recognized. The ceremony was outstanding: the location was perfect, the weather good but not too hot, and the speeches of reasonable quantity and length. Enjoy the pictures. I may add more if we get more from someone else. These ones start with pictures Hua Lin took at some pre-graduation activities at school, then follow the graduation ceremony through, and finish at the formal party in the evening. When it concluded the parents returned home, and the students went out to continue their celebration, finishing with the traditional viewing of the flag raising in Tiananmen square the next morning.
