However, in our journey alongside the industry, we have also faced various difficulties and challenges. The impact of three years of pandemic, changes in education policies, and industry competition cannot be ignored. But we have consistently confronted challenges, adhered to our mission and vision, and in this process, we have gained support from investors and assistance from our partners. We continuously adjust our business lines, collectively driving the development of TopSchools.

As servants and observers of the industry, we always move forward hand in hand with international education. This year marks the seventh anniversary of TopSchools and a significant milestone for international schools after 30 years of changes and challenges. Since the emergence of the first batch of international schools like mushrooms after rain in 1993, the industry has weathered 30 years of ups and downs, from confusion to prosperity, turbulence to stability. During this period, waves of renaming, closures, and mergers followed one another, but after the storm, the sun will eventually break through the clouds. These 30 years have witnessed the struggles and explorations of practitioners, as well as their extraordinary courage and wisdom.

Looking back on the past, anticipating the future.

In November of this year, TopSchools will host the RAISE2023 6th Asia International School Conference and the 30 Years Award Ceremony of International Schools In China in Hong Kong,China. This event focuses on Asia while embracing the world, inviting global educators to attend. During this award ceremony, we will present a series of awards to outstanding groups, schools, and individuals who have ridden the waves of the international education industry for 30 years, witnessing their remarkable contributions to the industry.

Thirty years of facing storms together, pursuing exploration through countless journeys. In the next stage of our journey, TopSchools will continue to bring innovation and transformation to the international education field. We will collaborate with schools and educational institutions to drive digital transformation and technological applications, promoting personalized learning and comprehensive development. At the same time, we look forward to joining hands with more partners to collectively shape the future of education.

Love for education, unwavering for seven years; embracing the international and inspiring at thirty. In this celebratory moment, we sincerely thank the hardworking team, cooperative partners, and stakeholders who have made outstanding contributions to TopSchools' success. While celebrating our birthday, we also pledge to continue our efforts, solidify our sticky and trustworthy industry platform, and contribute more to educational innovation.
