Showcasing Our Students' Best Chinese Writing

We are proud to announce the publication of the De Xin Magazine for the 2021-2022 school year!

Written, edited and produced by our students, De Xin Magazine is an annual celebration of our student's achievements in Chinese. Over the past seven years, we have kept, lived and developed this tradition, a strong testimony to our student's progress and effort in Chinese.

The first character 德 is taken from the Chinese name of our College (德威) while the second character 馨 translates as “pervasive fragrance”. The two characters together highlight the beautiful writing created by our students. 德馨 also relates to the Chinese saying 德艺双馨, a phrase dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770–476 B.C.) which means to pursue both professional excellence and moral integrity, two keys value we wish our student writers and editors to demonstrate.

This year our students have demonstrated their passion towards creating original pieces of writing in Chinese and resilience in the process of collating such an impressive collection of work.

Says Head of Mandarin in the Senior School Shining Yang, "I enjoy reading every page of De Xin as it is a well-rounded representation of work from all pathways and year groups in senior school. I am proud to witness DCSPD students and editors demonstrated their strong skills of Chinese writing and thinking in this beautiful magazine. 

2021-2022 was a challenging year. Despite the challenges of online learning and not being able to meet face to face, I am thrilled to see our students go above and beyond to overcome the challenges and produce such a marvellous collection of writing. Congratulations all for your commitment and determination. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank every one of the contributors and editors who have made it possible."
