Prepare to the max!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During recess, Jiang Cheng stood at the podium holding a sheet of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reading a thank-you letter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Comrade Sun Jiandong, for demonstrating excellent conduct in respecting the elderly and loving the young, escorting the elderly and children home...
