Broken Rule! We received a complaint from our landlord school, LJCDS. Items were missing and misplaced in a classroom.  Parents please help us to remind your student(s) of our classroom rules:

• Do not touch anything in the classroom that does not belong to you or without teacher expressive permission
• Do not eat or drink in the classroom
• Do not leave trash in the classroom, including the indoor trash bin. This is an expressive rule from LJCDS to avoid ant issues

We are grateful to have such a beautiful learning environment. Let’s all keep it up. Parents, if you see any behavior in the classroom or on the campus that breaks our rules, please help us to enforce it.

1984年3月4日 “轟炸”日本的第一人徐煥升逝世 - 徐煥升，(1906年—1984年3月4日)上海市崇明人。江蘇醫學院肄業，黃埔軍校第四期、中央航空學校第一期畢業. 初任筧橋中央航校教官、蔣介石座機副駕駛、分隊長、中隊長，1938年任空軍第十四隊隊長. 1937年12月，南京失陷，震驚中外的南京大屠殺爆發。 當時，有人要求去轟炸日本，血債血還。國民政府最高當局最後決定對日本“政治空襲”，以此來警告日本當局。這次空襲不投炸彈，只投“紙彈”，期望以仁愛精神喚醒日本國民，共同粉碎軍閥黷武迷夢， 並告誡日本當局，中國空軍完全有能力攻擊日本本土。出發前，徐煥升說：我死則國生！1938年5月20日，徐煥升率領的機組攜帶百萬份傳單自寧波出海後先轉向南，然後向日本九州島飛行,目標是九州、長崎、福岡等城市。當飛機高度降至3500米時，一份份傳單像白色的炸彈一樣從艙板下的方形射擊孔投出，紛紛揚揚地飄向日本的領土, 黎明前機組勝利返航。這是中國空軍第一次跨國境任務。此舉不單轟動全中國，也上了英美新聞，美國報章更登出日機在中國狂轟濫炸的相片作為比較。中國空軍“轟炸”日本本土極大地鼓舞了全國人民的士氣。參與行動的飛行員徐煥升，佟彥博受到來自全國各界的慰問和讚揚。徐煥升此後歷任國民政府第六重轟炸大隊大隊長、八大隊大隊長、中美空軍第五混合團(即第五大隊)副司令、蘭州(第三軍區)與地區司令、聯隊長、空軍總部署長，國防部總務局長、駐蘇武官。1949年赴台，歷任蔣介石侍從室主任，空軍總部主任、參謀長、副總司令等，1963年接任空軍總司令，四年後卸任，後任中華航空公司董事長、國民黨中央評議委員。1984年3月4日病逝於台北。In December 1937, Nanking felled into the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army, and it marked the start of 6 weeks of killing, looting, and raping in what is known as the Nanking Massacre. At the same time, there had been strong voice among Chinese to revenge. The Republic of China government finally decided on a peaceful “paper bombing” flight mission, in hopes of raising international awareness of Japanese army atrocities and warning Japanese government of Chinese air force capabilities. The mission leader was Capt. Hsu Huan-sheng, squadron leader of the 14th Squadron. On May 20, 1938, two B-10 (pilots Hsu Huan-sheng and Tong Yanbo) and one supporting He 111A (pilot Chen Yifan) bombers of Chinese Air Force took off from Hankou, Hubei Province, China for a leaflet mission over Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and other southern Japanese cities. They dropped millions of copies of leaflets that detailed atrocities committed by Japanese troops in China. This was Chinese Air Force's first mission over foreign territory. All three aircraft evaded Japanese air defenses and returned to Hankou safely in the following morning. After the heroic and successful mission, Capt. Hsu continued his career in the ROC air force, and eventually served as the ROC Air Force Commander. He passed away on March 4, 1984 due to illness in Taipei.

1782年3月12日 《四庫全書》編成 - 1773年（乾隆三十八年）開設四庫館，四庫館員先後總計達4186人。歷時10年，所輯的書籍按照經、史、子、集四部排列，共收書3457 種，79070卷；另有存目書6766 種，93556卷。第一部《四庫全書》於1782年3月12日（乾隆四十七年正月二十九日）繕寫告成。後又繕寫了6部，分儲在紫禁城文淵閣、圓明園文源閣、盛京文淵閣、避暑山莊文津閣、鎮江文宗閣、揚州文匯閣和杭州文瀾閣，另有副本一部藏於北京翰林院。歷經太平天國， 鴉片戰爭， 抗日戰爭，及國共內戰，現存4部分別藏於北京，台北，蘭州，和杭州。全書包羅宏大，豐富港翰，是中國古代政治、思想、文化遺產的總彙。The Siku Quanshu, variously translated as the Complete Library in Four Sections, Imperial Collection of Four, Emperor's Four Treasuries, Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature, or Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, is the largest collection of books in Chinese history. During the height of the Qing dynasty in the 18th century, the Qianlong Emperor commissioned the Siku Quanshu to demonstrate that the Qing dynasty could surpass the Ming dynasty's 1403 Yongle Encyclopedia, which was the world's largest encyclopedia at the time. The editorial board included 361 scholars. They began compilation in 1773 and completed it in 1782. The editors collected and annotated over 10,000 manuscripts from the imperial collections and other libraries, and selected 3,461 titles, or works, for inclusion into the Siku Quanshu. They were bound in 36,381 volumes (册) with more than 79,000 chapters (卷), comprising about 2.3 million pages, and approximately 800 million Chinese characters. Scribes copied every word by hand. Four copies for the emperor were placed in specially constructed libraries in the Forbidden City, Old Summer Palace, Shenyang, and Wenjin Chamber, Chengde. Three additional copies for the public were deposited in Siku Quanshu libraries in Hangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou. The Siku Quanshu copies kept in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou were destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion. In 1860, during the Second Opium War, an Anglo-French expedition force burned most of the copy kept at the Old Summer Palace. The four remaining copies suffered some damage during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Today, the four remaining copies are kept at the National Library of China in Beijing, the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the Gansu Library in Lanzhou, and the Zhejiang Library in Hangzhou.
