Students at Dashui primary school in Xinjian town, Fenggang county, Zunyi city, Guizhou province, set up a rock band to realize their musical dreams, thanks to China's "double reduction" policies to ease the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring on students.

贵州省遵义市凤岗县新建镇大水小学的学生成立了一个摇滚乐队来实现他们的音乐梦想，这要归功于中国的“双减”政策，减轻了学生过度的家庭作业和校外辅导的负担。

On Nov 9, students and teachers of the school enjoyed the band's performance at the playground, which reverberated with the rhythm of the songs as well as drumbeats and bass.

 11月9日，伴随着歌曲的节奏以及鼓点和低音回荡，学校的学生和老师在操场上欣赏乐队的表演，。

The band, which was set up in October, is composed of seven students from different grades, with three guitarists, a drummer, a keyboardist, a bass player and a vocalist.

该乐队成立于10月，由7名来自不同年级的名学生组成，3名吉他手、1名鼓手、1名键盘手、1名贝司手和1名声乐家。

"Their talent and musical dreams are likely to give them wings that could propel them to fly away from the mountains," said Fan Biao, an instructor for the students, who graduated in 2019 and applied to serve as a teacher for three years in a special posting at Dashui primary school.

“他们的天赋和音乐梦想很可能会给他们插上翅膀，推动他们飞离大山，”2019年毕业的学生导师范彪说，他在大水小学的一个特殊岗位上申请当了三年老师。

"Last semester, the average score of our school ranked first in the final exam of the primary school group in the county. The facts have shown that students were more motivated after carrying out the 'double reduction' policies," said Fan.

“上学期，我们学校的平均成绩在全县小学组期末考试中排名第一。事实表明，学生们在实施“双减”政策后更有动力，”范说。
