SINGAPORE, Oct. 4 -- A group of farmers in China's Hebei province huddled around shabby tables in the freezing winter, earnestly learning Chinese characters; rosy-cheeked boys flashed cheeky smiles as they ate eggs provided by a school nutrition program; and a group of students from the National University of Singapore were hard at work in the fields to help improve the Chinese farmers' irrigation techniques in southern China's Hainan province.

These compelling images are among the 70 photographs featured in "Raising Hopes - An Educational Photo Exhibition for the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China". In this first-of-a-kind, education-themed exhibition in Southeast Asia, it traces the strides China's education system has made from 1949 to 2019.

Organized by the China Image Group and the Singapore Bureau of Xinhua News Agency, the visual showcase was launched here Friday at Capitol Piazza as part of the celebrations for the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The opening ceremony was attended by Singapore's Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry and Education Chee Hong Tat, Chinese Ambassador to Singapore Hong Xiaoyong and over 200 prominent guests.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Xia Lixin, the bureau chief of the Singapore Bureau of Xinhua News Agency, said the 70 photos are carefully curated from the China Image Group, China's largest photo database.
