Beijing Bayi School (Chinese: 北京市八一学校), also known as the August 1st School, is a public elementary through high school with three campuses in Haidian District, Beijing.[1]
Tetsushi Takahashi of Nikkei Shimbun wrote that Beijing Bayi School is "prestigious".[2] Evan Osnos of New Yorker wrote that the "exclusive" Beijing Bayi School was known as the "cradle of leaders" (领袖摇篮; lǐngxiù yáolán).[3]
History[edit]
Nie Rongzhen established the school in 1947.[4]
Campuses[edit]
The school has three campuses: Main, North, and Elementary.[1]
The original campus was in a building that previously functioned as a residence for a prince who lived in the Qing Dynasty.[3] It is about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) north of Zhongnanhai, the residential facility for the top leadership of China.[2]
Student body and student culture[edit]
Takahashi stated that in the era prior to the Cultural Revolution, descendants of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, known as "second-generation reds", were enrolled at Beijing Bayi School.[2]
Osnos wrote that in the pre-Cultural Revolution period the pupils "formed a small, close-knit élite; they lived in the same compounds, summered at the same retreats, and shared a sense of noblesse oblige."[3]
Mi Hedu, author of The Red Guard Generation, wrote that pre-Cultural Revolution pupils "compared one another on the basis of whose father had a higher rank, whose father rode in a better car."[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
