Seeing her outstanding talents in arts and sports, we enrolled her in tutoring classes in electronic keyboard, traditional Chinese painting, and folk dance, hoping to improve her overall qualities in the future.” Guo Pu’s mother said when talking about her hobbies, “Once, she was preparing to participate in the county’s arts competition, so she practiced the electronic keyboard solo “Weaving Flower Baskets”.
