This year, we are paying more attention to the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture, so that various booths were set for activities including riddles, board games and quizzes about Chinese culture, said Li Yuenan, a freshman in the School of Public Administration, participating as a staff member for the first time. I am very happy to be involved.

Students dressed in all kinds of traditional Chinese costumes presented a lovely scene with the nearby lanterns. Being surrounded by them felt like being back in ancient times celebrating with the ancients.
