Taihai News reports on June 1 (Channel Guide reporter Zheng Ruiqing, correspondent Chen Haiquan, photographer Zhang Yanyan) "We need specific time, specific location, and specific people to organize such a special show." Yesterday afternoon, Chen Haiquan, a primary school teacher described the special program organized by school for children's day: six pairs of twins presenting the collective show of gymnastics. "This is not to be seen every year." Chen continued to emphasize.
The special time and place are on the playground of Wuzha primary school of boat market center, Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City in the afternoon today. Six pairs of twins are going to perform for "June 1 Children's Day".
It's difficult to distinguish even one pair of twins. In such a school of 200 students in the rural area, there are six pairs of twins, making teachers and students really dazzled. According to Professor Chen, there were originally seven pairs of twins, but one pair (Sisters Zhuang Yanping and Zhuang Yanjing) transferred to another school, and there are only 6 pairs now. Twin brothers Chen Mingjie and Chen Mingchao are from Dingliao Village, twin sisters Lai Zhenzhen and Lai Yanyan come from Wuzhai Village, and there are four pairs of twins in Xingguang Village with a population of 1500. They are: pigeon pairs Zhuang Zhengjie and Zhuang Shuchao, sisters Zhuang Zhufen and Zhuang Zhufang, sisters Zhuang Ruoping and Zhuang Ruofang, sisters Zhuang Anni and Zhuang Anna.
Anecdote one: teachers mistake names frequently
Teachers in Wuzhai primary school know what is "dazzled" well. Professor Chen told reporters that teachers couldn't distinguish twins and always mistakes their names in the beginning. Sometimes when criticizing the wrong twin in class, and the other may stand up and said he or she is the one to criticize. Then students all burst into laughter. "I used to guess in the beginning, and there's a chance of 50% probability." said a teacher with smile.
Anecdote two: put twins into different classes
Professor Chen told reporters that in order to better distinguish between twins, the school introduced a special way to put twins into different classes. Professor Chen explained that Zhuang Yanping and Zhuang Yanjing, Chen Mingjie and Chen Mingchao, Zhuang Zhengjie and Zhuang Shuchao were in the same class in the beginning, and it was difficult for teachers to distinguish. In grade six, the school put them in different classes especially in class grouping. Now Zhuang Zhufen and Zhuang Zhufang are in grade four, Lai Zhenzhen and Lai Yanyan in grade three, Zhuang Ruoping and Zhuang Ruofang in grade two like Zhuang Anni and Zhuang Anna, and they haven't got class grouping.
Anecdote 3: photographers thought they are repeating pictures
Professor Chen told reporters that Chen Mingjie and Chen Mingchao, Zhuang Zhengjie and Zhuang Shuchao will finish primary school in one month. The school invited a photographer to take photos for students. The photographer went back and found one photo repeated, so he deleted it. However, there was one photo missing according to the number of students. "The twins had to take the photo again. They are extremely alike, and even their handwriting and painting look alike." Professor Chen told reporters. |
