To celebrate the 31st Teachers’ Day on September 10 and to improve the staff’s health, our school invited the Shenzhen Health Education and Promotion Center’s secretary general, Professor Zhu Minzhen, to give the staff a special lecture.

    Before the start of the lecture, Professor Zhu used a special neck exercise to arouse the interest of the staff. The teachers actively participated. The lecture focused on two topics “What is health?” and “How does health benefit a school?”

    Zhu first explained and elaborated on physical health, mental health and social adaptation. At the same time, she used detailed data and cases to show us the major health problems in today’s society. Then she emphasized the importance of forming a healthy lifestyle and admonished each teacher to stay healthy.

    Then, Professor Zhu talked about the present development of promoting healthy living in schools and described problems that are common to students, such as poor vision, obesity, psychological problems, accidental injuries and sex education. Finally, she analyzed the teachers’ physical and mental health with the teachers’ consent.
