More than 700 children, who came from 31 primary and middle schools in Beijing, brought some 200 national flags of the People' s Republic of China as presents to the schools in Macao.

Representatives of students from 52 local schools received the flags. The remaining flags will be kept by the Macao Chinese Education Association and then be passed on to other schools.
