Jiang Yicheng


From the moment I stepped into SHSID in sixth grade to now living my college life, it feels like time has flown by in an instant—yet it was long enough for me to grow from a clueless kid into someone more steady and sure of myself.


On campus, I didn’t just gain a solid academic foundation—I also met close friends and teachers who I still keep in touch with today. Those afternoons walking along the forest paths, the hours spent playing basketball and table tennis… those moments have become the warmest, sunniest parts of my youth.


What SHSID gave me wasn’t just a place to grow up—it was the courage to explore. Here, I learned how to face challenges, how to work with others, and little by little, I began to see the path ahead of me.


Happy 160th anniversary to SHS! May this campus continue to nurture young dreams, and may everyone who passes through feel as welcomed and cared for as I once did.

My journey started on an ordinary spring day, but that extraordinary journey never truly ends.


To me, Shanghai High School is more than a top school—it's my new beginning. I arrived in 9th grade, like a seed in new soil, lifted by a force that helped me grow. Here, reason met inspiration. I found not answers, but wisdom; not just lessons, but a way to live.


160 years honors the past and launches the future. May its light shine on. Wherever we go, we carry its starlight—our shared name, our eternal home.

Looking back at my years at SHSID, I still clearly remember the morning sun filtering through the trees as I walked toward the teaching building, the sight of classmates flocking to the Lawson convenience store during lunch breaks to share laughter and stories during those brief periods of rest, and the countless happy moments with like-minded friends I had known for years. This place not only taught me how to learn and how to think but also made me realize the preciousness of friendship and the courage to engage with the world.


At SHSID, reason and emotion coexist, and rigor blends with freedom; the teachings of every teacher and the encouragement of every peer have left a deep mark on my heart. Now that I have left the campus, I remain proud to be an "SHSIDer." I thank my alma mater for granting me vision, courage, and warmth, and I wish the school continued success in nurturing more young people who possess both ideals and the capacity for action in the years to come, extending the glory and spirit that belongs to SHSID.


Wang Weixuan


I just said goodbye to the campus of SHSID, following the senior graduation ceremony on the sixth of June. It is common to hear similes comparing newly graduated students with fledglings flying to the far, to compare the similar situation of leaving their safe harbors and are forced to face new challenges. When I just stepped into high school life, graduation seemed too far away from me, but it gradually became my reality. When I noticed, I had also become the leaving fledgling.


Now, I can recall memories in every single corner of SHSID. I remember the days when I rushed to the school bus, I still remember the sunny days that my friends and I used to enjoy, and I can still recall the rainy days I became wet as a drowned rat. Indeed, I just left the campus, but I already start to feel the sense of nostalgia.


I will keep missing the days I had in SHSID — every single season, every sunny day and every rainy day — for they are the powers pushing me forward.


Fang Yujia


When I first started high school, the thought of going abroad to college was intimidating. I had no idea how to deal with a new environment, new people, and new customs. However, as I received my acceptance letter, the fear was instead replaced with excitement and anticipation.


I learned a lot from my four years at SHS. Not only did I obtain textbook knowledge, SHS also taught me how to persevere, how to communicate effectively with my peers, and how to overcome challenges.


Now, as I plan to enter the gates of college, I feel a complex mixture of melancholy, excitement, and gratitude. Melancholy, for the busy SHS campus and activities that I am no longer a part of. Excitement, for the future ahead and the infinite possibilities that we can create. And finally, gratitude, for the memories and knowledge that shape us into the people we are now and give us the potential to become even more. There’s no saying where we’ll end up in the future, what accomplishments we’ll achieve, or when we’ll revisit campus. However, the memories we created at school will stay with.
