ROME, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Receiving Chinese President Xi Jinping's reply to their letter, students at an Italian boarding school were surprised, excited and encouraged. "I'm so happy to know that President Xi has received our letter," Giovanni Stoppoloni, a fifth-grader at Rome Convitto Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele II, told Xinhua cheerfully.
