Chapter 219 Hanfu for Children
After finishing my conversation with Edward, I returned to the rest area of the summer camp. I approached the children quietly. They were still immersed in the joy of the gifts and did not notice my arrival.
"My dears, in addition to these gifts, Teacher Sui Sui has another super cool thing for you." I smiled and shook the Hanfu bag in my hand.
The children gathered around with curiosity, their eyes sparkling. When I took out the exquisite Hanfu and unfolded it, the children exclaimed in amazement.
"Wow, this dress looks like what ancient fairies wore." A little girl said excitedly.
I began explaining the cultural significance of Hanfu to the children, and as I spoke, their eagerness to try it on grew. So I helped the girls into their pink ruqun and the boys into their stylish zhichong. Watching them meticulously imitate the ancient rituals and playful ways filled my heart with joy. After conversing with Edward, I quietly and lightly made my way back to the summer camp's rest area. It was a peaceful and tranquil place. The children sat together, excitedly discussing the gifts they had just received, their faces beaming with happiness and satisfaction.
I approached them cautiously, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb these lovely little angels. However, the children were completely immersed in their love for their new gifts and did not notice my return at all.
"My dears!" I called softly, and waved to them with a smile, "In addition to these gifts, Teacher Sui Sui has something super cool and super surprising for you!" As I said that, I deliberately shook the exquisite Hanfu bag in my hand, and the Hanfu in the bag swayed slightly with my movement.
When the children heard my voice, they all turned and looked at me curiously. When they saw the bag in my hand, their eyes lit up instantly, as bright as the stars twinkling in the night sky. Soon, they couldn't wait to gather around me, tightly surrounding me.
"Teacher, what is it? Let us see it quickly!" Yu Han asked anxiously, and the other children followed suit.
I smiled mysteriously, then slowly took out an exquisite Hanfu from the bag and gently unfolded it. I saw that this Hanfu was brightly colored, with exquisite patterns, and it was embroidered with lifelike flowers, birds, insects and fish, like a beautiful painting unfolding before everyone's eyes.
"Wow!" The children exclaimed in unison, their mouths wide open, their eyes filled with surprise and envy. "This dress is so beautiful, it looks like something an ancient fairy would wear!" Yuyun said excitedly.
So, I gently picked up the pink skirt and carefully helped Yuyun put it on. Her cute little face flushed slightly with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with joy. Then, I put a dark blue straight coat on Carl. He immediately straightened up like a little adult, his face filled with pride.
The two children spun around in circles with great joy, showing off their beautiful new clothes to their friends. The other children stared at them intently, their eyes filled with envy.
At this moment, Maggie ran over to me with a pout and said, "Teacher Sui Sui, there's me too! Did you forget about me?" Zi Tong beside her quickly echoed, "There's me too, Teacher!"
I smiled, squatted down, gently stroked their hair, and gently comforted them: "Don't worry, every child will have it! Our teacher Lei is no exception!"
Hearing what I said, Lei's eyes widened in surprise and she asked excitedly, "Do I have one too?" I nodded and replied with a smile, "Of course! You've been the one who has taken good care of the children throughout this summer camp. How can you be left out?" As I said that, I reached into the bottom of the bag, took out an exquisite set of Hanfu and handed it to Lei.
When the little boy donned the exquisite Hanfu, he seemed to be reborn, instantly transforming from a mischievous child into a polite and elegant young man. He clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and saluted the crowd, his every gesture exuding a refined elegance. The little girl beside him, dressed in a pale pink dress, her sleeves flowing like a blooming lotus. She walked with light, graceful steps, each one graceful and charming, her gentle and charming demeanor revealed.
Just then, I pulled out my phone and gently pressed play. Melodious classical music immediately began to flow. Surprisingly, this beautiful melody seemed to possess a magical power, compelling the two children to dance along. Their movements sometimes resembled the fluttering sleeves of fairies, drawing graceful arcs through the air; sometimes, they resembled shy young girls, their heads lowered, subtle yet graceful. In that moment, they felt as if they had traveled back in time, transported back to the grand and magnificent court banquets of ancient times.
The other children around me were also captivated by the spectacle, each one watching with rapt attention, their eyes fixed on the scene. Some even swayed their bodies to the rhythm of the music, their faces brimming with excitement and ecstasy. Seeing the children so engrossed, I seized the opportunity to explain the profound cultural significance of Hanfu, the exquisite etiquette and wisdom of the ancient people.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and gradually, the sun began to set. Orange-red sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, casting a gentle, warm golden afterglow over the beautiful scene. At this moment, the children's hearts were filled not only with a deep love for Hanfu but also with a strong curiosity and desire to explore the rich history of traditional Chinese culture.
At that moment, my laptop suddenly buzzed. It was Edward calling. "Ms. Li, the supplier just relented a bit and said they're willing to reconsider the terms." My lips curled up. Today was truly a double blessing. After hanging up, I turned back to play with the kids, a vision of a bright future filled with Hanfu shops dotted across the streets.
