LIF
《海边的遐想》汪国真
看海与出海是两种不同的人生：
一种是把眼睛给了海，
一种是把生命给了海。
“岂曰无衣，与子同袍。”相信，最近关注疫情新闻的大家，一定会被邻邦日本在捐助物资上写下这句话所打动。由于时代的久远、诗歌的简洁，我们已经很难判断《秦风•无衣》背后的故事。但秦人诗歌中所展现的慷慨壮烈气度却流传后世。在读这首诗的时候，我们依然可以清楚感受到章句之中所蕴含的雄浑力量。
同袍是战友，同窗是情谊，在这段特殊的岁月里，海嘉LIF社团的同学们，用他们的爱与热情，跨域国度，为我们诠释着公益的内涵，也为我们见证着这群梦想少年同窗&同袍的特殊经历。
LIF 是一个由学生领导的社团，于2019年五月份建立。
LIF的全称是Life is Fascinating，主旨是“生命是有意思的”。LIF致力于改进海嘉学生在学校的生活。自成立以来，他们开展了塑料瓶回收比赛、辩论赛等各类活动。
目前的成员主要有：吴儒敏（G9）、李润溥（G9）、陶子源（G9）、王熙元（G9）、安牧城（G8）、王凌一（G8）、贾斯丁（G7）、卢克（G9）和丹尼斯（G9）。
Edward是LIF的创始人之一，也是LIF的项目负责人。在Edward看来，

“我们想尽我们所能帮助和改善我们的校园生活，而我认为我们也在几个方面取得了成功。我们举办了一个塑料回收项目，也正在计划举办一个辩论赛来帮助BIBA的学生提高他们的辩论技能，我们也通过我们在线学习课程向校外人士提供帮助。作为LIF俱乐部的主席，我要感谢所有LIF委员会成员们以及我们的BIBA社区，是他们使LIF所有的想法成为了现实。”
“如果想法只是想法，
那么它就什么都不是了”
因为一场疫情，所有人都身处不安之中。对于海嘉LIF社团，9年级的Edward、Tommy、Sherwin等人来说，这场疫情也同样牵动着他们的心。
作为海嘉公益社团LIF的成员，疫情自一开始便牵动着他们的心，寒假期间，分散在不同国家、城市的他们希望自己可以在这场疫情中也做些什么，那就是利用他们的特长尽可能为更多人提供帮助。社团同学们立即开展了各种形式的讨论。
1月31日晚，休息时间的Edward 、Tommy 、Sherwin以及团队的成员们热火朝天的聊着他们各自的想法。英文在线补习的想法在Tommy的脑中一闪而过。疫情期间，大家都被困在家里，为什么不尝试一下提高英语呢？”一闪而现的思路，让两个人都觉得十分振奋，课程方案、平台选择、学员招募……越聊越兴奋的成员们睡意全无，直到凌晨1点多才不舍地去睡觉。
“如果想法只是想法，那么它就什么都不是了”。第二天，成员们开始就迫不及待地利用微信阅读群开始宣传了。宣传第一天，Tommy和Sherwin就分别上了6个小时的课，虽然忙的连吃饭的时间都没有，但是内心的满足却让他充满力量。

第一次课程的成功，很快便吸引了更多人的加入，LIF的成员们也开始更加紧锣密鼓地线上课程授课，身在国外的Edward也不例外。从话题选择、PPT制作、到查资料，每一节课都需要付出很大的精力，但是同学们却乐此不彼。在这期间，Sherwin还自创了适应学生学习阶段的词根记词法，很有创新精神。方法课程一经推出，场场爆满，十分受小朋友们的欢迎。后续他们还推出了IPA国际音标课、一对一课程、低年级/高年级写作、口语、希特勒和凡尔赛条约、诺贝尔奖、普法战争、越战等课程，短短九天（2月1日-2月9日），LIF成员一共为近50名学生提供了42课时（42小时）的英文在线课程，上课人次累计214次。

赠人玫瑰，手有余香。一节公益的小小的课堂，将一群有梦的少年们紧密地链接在一起，提高英语的同时，LIF成员更是为众多的学生们竖立了一个积极面对生活、不断进取的好榜样。而他们亦通过授课，不断加深、扩宽自己的知识领域。从线上到线下，甚至有不少同学、家长从陌生到熟悉，也收获了线下的友谊。

初心与热情
一段特殊经历，让我们认识了这群有梦想、有行动力的少年，也让我们了解了这个由同学们自主创立的公益社团——LIF。
一群心怀梦想的少年，把初心和梦想践行在校园之中。
在校期间，每六个在校日举行两次会议，商讨组织的工作及未来计划。另有义工团队二十余名, 每六个在校日召开一次会议。九位核心成员各有分工，自去年八月开学以来，承接了学校校园广播的工作，还组织了为期八周的校园垃圾塑料瓶回收项目，回收了大概一万二千多个瓶子。

学生设计的LIF俱乐部Logo
在设计之初，他们便把理念和初心融入到俱乐部的logo之中。蓝黄交织而成的灯泡造型寓意创新、创意，同时也寓意着照亮别人，而蓝黄二色则取自海嘉主色调。
学生自主设计英语项目Logo
在成立英语说唱班的时候，LIF成员们也设计了项目的专属logo，灯泡就是代表LIF，灯泡的意思是LIF能够照亮别人，他们一直强调是团队的力量，让他们将这一个行动贯彻执行下去。
“岂曰无衣，与子同袍。”当我们每一次重新阅读这首诗歌时，依旧能感受到如烈火般燃烧的激情，它正侵染着我们的情绪，让我们的血液为之沸腾。慈善不仅仅是一种社会责任 ，更是一种付诸实践的行动。慈善无界！LIF成员用自己的行动诠释着爱与公益。
《秦风·无衣》为后世留下了“袍泽”这个情谊深厚的称谓，也留下了“同仇敌忾”这个团结的成语。就像LIF成员一样，他们即是同窗、亦是同袍，在这场无声的战役之中，他们勇敢面对、热忱付诸实践，相信爱与希望会比病毒蔓延的更快，相信这薪火也必将燎原。

Love conquers, little by little, day by day
In this special time, the students in BIBA LIF Club devote their love and passion to the country, interpreting the meaning of public welfare, a unique experience for this group of young students.
Edward Oh G9- Chairman of LIF
When I, along with a couple of my fellow students started the LIF club last year, I wanted to help and improve our school lives the best we could. And in a couple of ways, we have- helping our plastic burdened school environment by hosting a plastic recycling project, or by starting a debate tournament to help our students in their debating skills. And with our online learning lessons, we wish to extend our help to those even outside of our school. As the LIF Club's Chairman, I wish to sincerely thank my fellow members and the BIBA community for giving us the many opportunities for our projects.
LIF is a student-led group which was established in May 2019. It’s full name is ‘Life is fascinating’. LIF works to improve student life on campus. Since its founding, activities such as contest to recycle plastic bottles and public debate have been held. The club members include：Edward Oh(Wu Rumin) G9, River Li(Li Runpu) G9, Luke Hamlin G9, and Dennis Kuijpers G9, Tommy(Tao Ziyuan) G9, Sherwin (Wang Xi yuan) G9, Stephanie(An Mucheng) G8, Lenny (Wang Lingyi)G8, and Justin Hamlin G7.
LIF, which stands for: “Life is fascinating”, was founded by Edward Oh with several classmates in May 2019. LIF is dedicated to helping and improving many aspects of students’ campus life. LIF has nine key members with their own responsibilities and a team of more than 20 volunteers. The LIF club tries to follow its mission by starting various projects. From October to December, LIF started a MSHS-wide Plastic Recycling Competition. LIF students saw the overwhelming use of plastic bottles in BIBA and wanted to find a fun and interesting way to reduce and recycle plastic in our school community. Each homeroom class collected plastic bottles in a cardboard box, and each week LIF students would count and collect the bottles before sending them off to a recycling plant. Edward and River started planning and executing the school-wide project, and Luke handled the logistics by securing cardboard boxes and also worked on videos etc. Other members also actively took part by counting bottles and collecting them. As a result of two months, more than 12,000 bottles were recycled. The winning homeroom class also received a pizza party for the grand prize :)
LIF is also currently working on organizing a in-school debate tournament, with aims to give students an opportunity to practice their debating skills in a friendly environment. They are currently signing up students interested in debating. Encourages MSHS students to sign up!
In this uncertain time of the cornavirus epidemic, the students of the LIF club thought of an interesting idea.
If ideas stay as ideas,
they are worthless.
Due to the epidemic, everyone was on edge. LIF members were scattered across different countries and cities, yet engaged themselves in discussions about whether they could do something in this outbreak by using their expertise to help as many people as much as possible. The new project the LIF club started planning was an online English lesson course. As everyone was stuck at home due to the Coronavirus, LIF members thought it was a good idea to use an online platform to help improve people's English and to use time efficiently. Edward, River, Tommy, Sherwin, Lenny, and Stephanie started to teach and plan the online courses.
Little by Little
Well begun is half done. More LIF members joined the teaching team including students who were abroad. From topic choices and PPT creation, to research and fact checking, every class takes a lot of energy, but the members enjoy working together. Sherwin adopted innovative word root methods to help with memorization, which was very popular with younger learners. Subsequently, they also launched the IPA class, one-on-one sessions, junior/senior writing class, oral English, historical events and more.
In just 9 days from February 1 to February 9, LIF provided classes for nearly fifty students with a total of forty hours of online teaching hours.

The online teaching classes brought the group of teenagers closely together. Whilst improving their English, the LIF members have become a positive influence on younger students and have become an example of facing life with positivity. Through teaching, they deepened and broadened their knowledge domain and harvested friendship.
Actions speak louder
Blue and yellow interweaved as a light bulb in the Club logo symbolizes innovation and also illumination. The two color choice follows BIBA’s main colors.
LIF members also designed a corresponding logo for the Online English Class. The new is designed to look similar to the LIF club logo.
The LIF Chairman, Edward ,who also teaches abroad from South Korea, expressed that LIF wanted to do what they could to help and improve campus life and gave special thanks to all the members of the LIF committee as well as the BIBA community, for turning the LIF ideas into reality.
Charity is not only a kind of social responsibility, but also a kind of action. Charity has no boarders. LIF members demonstrated love and charity through their actions.
The book of “Qing Feng· Wu Yi” left a legacy for later generations with an expression of friendship and an idiom meaning: “Be united as one”. Like the members of LIF, they are classmates as well as colleagues and in the midst of a silent battle. They faced a difficult situation head on, and put ideas into practice, believing that love and hope would spread faster than the virus.
