Lu Dong (not his real name), a 16-year-old boy from Shanghai, is a member of the Yan’an Summer Camp. Teenage campers look at each other and wonder how to start the DIY Lunch part of the Nanniwan outward bound. Only Lu Dong said, "I can cook!" and volunteered to be a chef and lead the rest of the team in cooking a great lunch. When he heard everyone's praise, he smiled shyly and talked about the origin of good cooking. "There are only two people in my family, my mother and I. My mother is busy with her work, so I usually prepare meals for her to eat at home." The words moved everyone.

“Learning Yan’an Spirit” – extension training of Nanniwan production activity

Compared with his peers, Lu Dong is very mature. He also takes care of other partners along the way, especially his younger brother Xiao Hui (not his real name), who is 5 years younger than he is. He always gives Xiao Hui a hand at the first time. When the teacher worried that Xiaohui was too young to wash clothes, lu dong said, "I have already washed his clothes for him." His carefulness and maturity have won the praise of all campers and leaders. Talking about the feelings of the summer camp, Lu Dong said with a smile, “This time to Yan’an I learned a lot, and got real experience of ‘Yan’an Spirit’. More importantly, Eagle Soaring Project has made me know many friends with similar family situations, and know that there are still many people who care about us, and I am not alone in growing up.”

Children in the summer camp in Shanghai studied first aid knowledge carefully

A Bu (not his real name), a boy from Xinjiang, is a very serious boy. During the first aid course "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation" in the summer camp in Shanghai, although his left arm was injured and could not achieve the standard movement that both arms must be straight, he still communicated with the teacher seriously about the rules of action and completed the first aid operation with his right hand. "We don't have access to this kind of learning," he said. "Chances are so hard. If we miss this chance, we may miss a life." In Shanghai History Museum, he felt the one-hundred-year history of Shanghai in the teacher's explanation, from the prosperity of old Shanghai glamour to the rest of the world in the nowadays the bund. "This is my first time to come to Shanghai. From this experience, I broadened my horizon, learned a lot of new knowledge, and knew a lot of friend. I feel happy because I can grow up with so many people to accompany."
