Students from a high school in Changchun, Jilin, spent 129 days creating a relief mural (浮雕壁画). Their idea came from the famous painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng. The mural was created on 21 students from this No.150 High School’s art classroom.
It was completed by the wall of Changchun No.150 High School under the guidance of their teacher, Duan Yingzi. The mural is nearly 3.5 meters high and 11 meters long. This piece of art work has amazed a lot of people on the Internet. According to the teacher, creating this mural is part of the school’s special lessons. The process of the creation includes drawing an outline (轮廓), making relief, painting base colors, and then finishing the final artwork. Most of the students in this group had no painting experience. Their teacher helped them learn the painting skills and practice painting many times.
The teacher explained that the most difficult part of creating this mural was the color mixing. “It took us over a month to finish the outline and relief work. In the following two to three months, we focused on perfecting the color mixing,” she said. After trying again and again, they finally achieved this great goal. Although there is a difference in color compared with that of Wang Ximeng’s painting, the students are still very pleased with the final result. The difference is not so significant (显著的). The work still looks very beautiful.
“In the past, students could only see the artwork in books. And they were unable to fully experience its beauty. By drawing the painting, students can have a deeper understanding of the ancient Chinese artists’ wisdom,” Duan said.
( ) 5. Where can you find the relief mural in this school

The book is about a 15-year-old boy named Sean. The law makes him work on a horse farm. But the book’s ending is not clear: Will Sean just do what he has to do, or will he make some changes The students wanted to know what happened to Sean and asked Rotman about it. The answer they received was that “it’s good for you to think of your own ending.”
Caitlynne Sheppard was happy with the answer. “She gave us an ending in the book and told us her alternative (供选择的) ending, but it still left us trying to think what might happen.”
In fact, the video talk was just part of the school’s yearly reading project. Students not only had to finish reading the book Hero, but also needed to have a talk with the “heroes” around them and make reports. For example, Emily Cain talked with a policeman. “Nobody notices that policemen might not be able to go home that day, or that they have to put their life in danger to help other people,” she said.
1. Before talking with the writer, what did the students read
2. Why did the students ask Rotman about the ending
