On November 23rd, SHSID’s Voices from Beyond made another trip to a retirement home in the XuHui area of Shanghai. Voices From Beyond is a club made up of students from grade 9 and grade 10 who are passionate about performing onstage and want to spread happiness while doing so. Voices From Beyond also performed at the retirement home in early 2018. When the students arrived at the venue, the seniors were already waiting for them, eager to watch them perform.
The show was about an hour. At the end, all the elders applauded for the performers. Upon exiting, some elders and performers exchanged words of gratitude and shook hands with each other. One senior was even crying because he was touched by the performance.
Before they left, the elders also had a conversation with the students. They told the students where they did good on the performance, how they appreciated the students coming to visit, and told the students where they could improve. One elderly lady recommended that the students provide a Chinese translation for every performance, so the elders could understand more of them.
Voices From Beyond was very happy to perform at the retirement home and felt immense respect for the elders. They hope to continue to perform at the retirement home for the elders and spread positivity through their performances wherever they go.
11月23號，上海中學國際部音越心聲社團前往徐匯區某敬老院進行表演。音越心聲社團是一個由九、十年級學生組成的社團，全體社員都喜歡上臺表演，也希望能通過表演傳播快樂。在這之前，音越心聲曾在敬老院表演過。這一次，當學生們到達敬老院時，長輩們已經坐在那裡了，等待他們的表演。
本次表演持續了一個小時，結束的時候，長輩們給與了表演者熱烈的掌聲，而學生們也和老人們互相表達了對彼此的感謝。一位老人還因表演感人而感動落淚。除了較高的評價，長輩也給予我們的表演一些中肯的建議。音越心聲社團所有成員都因能在敬老院表演而高興，但我們也希望，將來我們的表演能去到其他地方。但無論去到哪裡，我們的表演都會傳播正能量。
