The Chinese had come through once again in the Science Olympiad, ranking first in individual and team scores.
At the announcement of the results, the audience broke out in applause and Director Li stood up instantly and strode onto the stage to hug the contestants who had been working hard in the past five hours.
No matter the failure or success, the students' hard work and spirits were all worthy of this praise.
Even Gao Yiyang's father, who had never come to his son's school or attended a parent meeting, was brought to tears. People tend to be more affectionate when they reach their middle-ages.
He had no idea how outstanding his son was and how proud he was of him.
Following the contestants' chuckles and handshakes, the fierce Olympiad competition finally came to an end.
