Zheng Qiaolang, a 17-year-old student from Class G12-5 at THISDL.

While most peers his age are still uncertain about their future paths, he has already received an ED offer in Film & Television Production from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, thanks to his highly distinctive personal portfolio. On the journey of youth, he has firmly anchored his path in filmmaking at an early stage.

Born in 2008, Shao Yushan is a student in Grade 11 at Daoxiang Lake School and a verified contender among China’s new generation of tennis players. In the 2025 season, her ITF Junior world ranking rose to No. 24. She won the singles title at the ITF J300 tournament in Pathum Thani, Thailand, advanced to the Round of 32 at Wimbledon and the Round of 16 at the US Open in junior Grand Slam events, and claimed the singles runner-up and doubles champion titles at the China Open Junior Tournament. She also won the National Games Championship as part of her team. Meanwhile, she has begun making strides into the professional adult circuit, reaching the quarterfinals twice in ITF W35 tournaments, demonstrating a clear and steady growth trajectory at the intersection of junior and adult competitions.

In the summer of 2025, an admission letter from the School of Animation and Digital Arts at the Communication University of China, majoring in Art and Technology, became the perfect epilogue to Zhang Yiming’s three years of high school. It was not only a recognition of his personal credo — “Once the direction is set, follow it through to the end” — but also a vivid embodiment of THISDL’s educational philosophy of “diverse pathways to success” in its very first cohort of Gaokao students: enabling precise alignment with a passion, providing systematic support for a challenge started from zero, and building a transformative platform for a unique potential.

The weight of a promise has never been about rhetoric, but about the responsibility built through time and practice. Duke University’s admission letter is not only the echo of Zhang Yichi’s three-year persistence in pursuing her passion, but also a testament to how a school and a group of educators fulfill their commitments through concrete actions.
