The primary schools across China, including in Beijing, have reopened after summer vacations on August 31. 

As it was raining on the first day of reopening after vacations in Beijing, teachers in one of the schools were holding colourful umbrellas so that pupils could not get wet from rain. It was a sign of mutual care and respect. 

The summer vacation in China generally starts around July 1 and ends around August 31 while the winter vacation usually take place in January or February depending on the date of the Spring Festival.
