Children from a primary school read Chinese classical texts in chorus in Hong Kong's Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground July 14. Thousands of Hong Kong children, delegates from Hong Kong social groups and guests from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia joined in the recital.

The annual event aims to encourage children to recite Chinese classical texts, so that they can naturally improve their grammar and shape their cultural tastes.The first recital is held in Hong Kong in 2004, the second and the third in Beijing and Taipei separately in 2005 and 2006.
