♪Dara-ra-ra, dara-ra-ra, dara-ra-ra, dara-ra-ra…
Lighthearted music drifted out from the multipurpose hall.
It was the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive.”
Just from the opening notation and song title, I bet many of you instantly recognized the melody—though generations may differ…
Peeking inside, I saw the G8 students practicing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).


For CPR, it’s recommended to perform 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute.
But honestly, just hearing that doesn’t really give you a sense of how fast that is, right?
That’s why this song, Stayin’ Alive, is used worldwide.
Performing chest compressions to the beat of this song helps maintain a pace of about 100 compressions per minute.
The students were all moving to the music, seeming to imprint that rhythm into their bodies.
This hands-on practice followed a thorough lecture from specialists covering the fundamentals.


Students took turns practicing chest compressions, ensuring everyone mastered this crucial CPR knowledge for emergencies.
We hope that if they ever encounter such a situation, they’ll be able to act without hesitation!
