As the first large-scale event for this academic year, “Welcoming the Freshmen, Triumph for Mid-Autumn Festival and Celebration of National Day” is extremely meaningful. Apart from the celebration of a traditional festival and promotion of patriotism, the event also enhanced the communication between teachers and students.
