A handsome mixed-race boy, a local Beijinger. Bright eyes, sunny smile, Oliver naturally becomes a star wherever he goes.

Oliver started learning mask-changing of Sichuan opera when he was 5, and performed on the Super Star Show of CCTV. At 6 years old, Oliver sang the hip pop version of How Are You Beijing on the Chinese New Year Show. As a student of the 4th season of Music Masters, Oliver played through the whole season with his unique rap style music. And on this year’s live show of Hunan TV, Oliver and his younger brother tried spending a week independently. Besides being invited to all these TV shows, Oliver has also been popular with fashion commercial filming, live promotions and TV and movie acting.

This is Oliver, a G3 student of BIBS!

Today we have invited Oliver’s mom to share with us the stories of Oliver’s life.

作为一位国际家庭的妈妈，为什么没有选择让孩子出国读书，而是选择了中国的双语学校？您和爸爸的择校标准是什么？

Why did you choose an international school in China for Oliver instead of sending him overseas? What were your considerations?

这一点我其实很感谢爸爸的支持，虽然爸爸是新西兰人，但是爸爸非常认同中国的传统文化，他和我都坚定地支持要为孩子保留中国根。我们不仅为奥利选择了中国国籍，为他择校时，也不约而同倾向于双语的教学模式。

由于爸爸是从事教育工作的，比较了解国际学校，所以先由他选定了五、六所学校，我再去实地探校，通过充分了解和对比，为奥利选择一所真正适合他的国际双语学校。

除了“中国根基”这一条标准外，我和爸爸的另一项择校标准就是，支持孩子的个性发展。从奥利十个半月大时被星探发现开始接拍各种广告，直到5岁半登上星光大道的综艺舞台，我们发现奥利是一个非常热爱舞台的孩子。

所以当时在选择国际学校时，我和爸爸主要考虑这两点：一是要注重传统文化浸润；二是尊重孩子个性发展，重视艺术音乐。所以遇到青苗的时候，我就觉得自己和孩子简直太幸运了！

We feel very fortunate when we found BIBS, a place matches our expectations.

I must thank Oliver’s father for this. He is from New Zealand, but he has been really into the traditional Chinese culture since we got married. We both wanted to keep the Chinese roots for our son. This is why we not only put him in a international bilingual school but also gave him Chinese citizenship.

Oliver’s father is in education business and knows international schools well. We picked BIBS out of the first 5 or 6 options.

Besides Chinese roots, our other consideration was the freedom for personalized development. Oliver started shooting commercials when he was 10 months and did his first TV show at 5. We realized how much he loves stage.

在青苗的两年多来，你觉得你和爸爸对孩子的教育期待实现了吗？青苗让您觉得最满意的地方是什么？

Have you and Oliver’s father been satisfied with BIBS in the last two years?

是的，就像我刚刚提到的这两点，无论是中文环境还是兴趣爱好，青苗真的都给予了最大化的支持。

有人说想学中文你就去公立学校就好了，干嘛要上国际学校。因为我们对奥利的期待并不是纯粹学习，我们希望未来奥利可以站在世界舞台上，成为中国传统文化的一个传承者和发扬者。那么光是“传承”还是不够的，还要有足够的能力去“发扬”。“用别人听得懂的语言、看得懂的文字、讲得通的逻辑，去呈现自己的语言、自己的观点、自己的典章礼乐。”（龙应台）我们特别庆幸，这些都是青苗中西兼有的教育环境能够带给他的成长。

另外，青苗对孩子“团队精神”的培养也让我们很惊喜。学校把各年级的孩子都按照火队、土队、水队、风队分组，学期结束时分数最多的团队获胜。奥利每天回来都拼命背好多古诗，他解释说：“妈妈，我多背一首就能多给我们土队加分嘛！”从小就能赋予孩子这么强烈的团队协作意识，这一点真的让我感到非常欣慰。

Yes we have. Like I said, BIBS has maintained a Chinese bilingual learning environment that supports Oliver’s personalized development.

Some of my friends asked why we must go to an international school instead of a Chinese public one. To us, Oliver’s future does not solely depend on studying. We expect Oliver to go to a wider stage in front of the whole world, representing and promoting the traditional culture of China. To do that, Oliver must be able to understand and communicate with people from other parts of the world, and to express his opinion with his music. We are very lucky that Oliver gets to grow up in the well-rounded learning environment of BIBS.

We are also believers in the teamwork concept at BIBS. The school has teamed students up in 4 groups to compete with each other. Oliver has worked very hard on the poets so he could win more credits for his team. The spirit is very valuable.

可以看到，对于一个年仅8岁的小朋友，参加录制和拍摄的工作很多，但是他的学业从未落下，成绩一直名列前茅。您是如何平衡孩子的学业和演艺事业的？

Being 8 years old, Oliver is taking quite some shooting works. Yet his studying did not fall behind. How do you find balance between his academic and show career?

说实话，这个看似光鲜亮丽的舞台背后，真的要吃很多很多苦。而奥利还只是个孩子。记得五岁时参加《星光大道》，台上灯光直射大概40度高温，川剧变脸六七张“脸”都是一层一层糊上去的，连呼吸都费劲。他还要穿七斤多重的戏服，当时上台都是周围的编导给他扶上去的。那时候练的胳膊都抬不起来，因为速度起来你才能变脸嘛。

其实我跟爸爸私底下也讨论过，如果有一天舞台跟学业冲突的话，我们要如何选择。我们当然觉得学业更重要，但为了这事儿家里还闹过一次“乌龙”。有一次姥姥跟我说：奥利昨晚哭了一宿，说爸爸妈妈说如果我学习不好就不让我上台表演了。这孩子一直跟姥姥说：我保证会好好学习，我真的很想站在舞台上。

其实就像我们一直跟奥利强调的那样：“我们可以支持你的梦想，但前提就是学习，你必须要保持在中上等。所以这就意味着你必须对自己选择的东西尽百分之二百的努力。”而奥利确实也很自觉，通告多，他就利用碎片时间，很多作业都是在化妆间完成的……

我觉得这就是梦想的力量吧。即使是一个孩子，如果他真的知道自己想要的是什么，就算遇到再难的事儿，他都愿意坚持和忍耐。

It’s not easy. I remember how hot the stage was when Oliver was at the Super Star Show. He was only 5 and he had to wear all the layers of masks and a heavy costume. He practiced so hard and sometimes could not even lift his arms after the rehearsals.

My husband and I had our doubts. We were asking ourselves if one day Oliver’s show activities take too much of his time, how do we choose. Of course, studying is more important, and one time Oliver was crying so hard that he thought we would no longer allow him to perform if he does not do well at school. He promised us that he will work hard, and he really wanted to keep performing.

We always tell Oliver that we support his dreams, but under one condition – that he must do well at school. This means he must commit to what he has chosen for himself and work twice as hard as others. Oliver has been self-disciplined and a good time manager.

I think this must be the power of dream. Even for a child, when he sets his mind on something, he’d strive and fight to succeed.

问到奥利的梦想，他说自己想成为一个能唱歌能跳舞能演戏的“全能型”艺人。作为家长，您支持孩子的梦想吗？对他的未来有什么期待吗？

Oliver said he wants to become an ‘all-around’ artist. Do you support his dream? What’s your expectations for him?

对于奥利的任何梦想，我和家人都一定是全力支持的。我有时候其实很羡慕他，这么小就知道自己喜欢什么。但是作为家长，我们也深知这个圈子很特殊，尤其是伴随着这种大数据时代、自媒体时代的到来，我们也要尽量帮助他在这种环境下保持一颗单纯的初心，不被 “流量”冲昏头，永远记住他站在舞台上是因为“热爱”，而不是为了“出名”。

说到“期待”，那就说说从最近开始，我和奥利正在努力完成的一件事吧。7岁的时候，奥利参与了一档节目的录制，是他用英文介绍中国十四项非物质文化遗产，由此获得了国家共青团授予的“非物质文化遗产小传播者”的称号，在我们心里，这应该算是奥利目前所获得的最高奖项了，我们为此非常骄傲。学校里也经常有机会去接触剪纸、戏曲、泥人、皮影戏这些传统艺术，奥利自己对传统文化都非常感兴趣。有一次我就问奥利：“你愿不愿意把非遗这件事情做下去？”没想到奥利欣然答应。

所以从今年开始，我和奥利正式开始了我们的“非遗之旅”。每个周末都有一天去寻找这些匠人，跟他们去学些传统的手艺，然后再跟他们去进行拍摄。虽然很辛苦，但是我和奥利都认为很值得。一方面，如果通过奥利的微薄之力，能让更多的人去关注非遗，也算是我们没有辜负“非物质文化遗产传播者”这一称号。另一方面，也是从我这个当妈妈的私心出发，我希望通过一年乃至几年的学习沉淀，能让奥利明白什么是“匠人精神”，何谓“择一事终一生”。

We support Oliver’s dreams. I’ve been very proud that he always knows what he wants. Being an adult, I know the show business is different. In today’s digitalized world, we try to stay smart and not be fall for the volume of followers. Always stand on the stage for his passion, and not just to be famous.

Speaking of expectations, I can think of one thing Oliver and I are working on lately. Oliver attended a show when he was 7, which was to introduce 14 Chinese intangible cultural heritages. He was awarded by the Communist Youth League as the Little Intangible Cultural Heritage Ambassador. To us, it was most distinguished award he has ever won, and we were extremely proud. Oliver has always been into traditional cultures. I once asked him if he wanted to explore more on this, and he said yes.

So this year we started our little cultural journeys. Every weekend we went to see crafts men, and filmed how Oliver learned from them. It was hard but worth it. Oliver’s award as the little ambassador was well deserved, and he got to understand what’s craftsman spirit, and what it takes to commit to a lifelong career.
