Programme five

The Chinese New Year brings students and city workers home to celebrate with their families. But will a sudden snow storm separate loved ones?

The series Chinese School continues, with the excitement of the Olympics taking a hold.

China's first ever Olympic Games are on the near horizon. Xiuning county may be 1000 miles from Beijing, but that hasn't stopped Olympic fever reaching its schools.

It's Autumn and with the heat of summer and exams behind them, it's time for the students to hit the sports field.

With 3400 students, Haiyang Middle school is the largest school in the county. For the deputy head teacher, sports day is a mammoth undertaking, while School Radio DJ Zha Yujie sees it as the highlight of the year. She takes to the stage to support her friends as they tackle the events of the track & field.

At Ping Min primary school they're holding their first ever sports day. Young champion Dai Deli is the fastest runner in school and determined to take gold, but, as always, there are lessons to be learned all round.
