By organizing volunteers to do large-scale cleanup and popularizing knowledge of garbage sorting and control of the four pests, this activity called on teachers and students to form healthy habits; raise awareness of building a beautiful campus based on collaboration, participation and common interests; and live in a civilized, healthy, green and environmentally friendly way.  

Despite heavy rain, the volunteers participated with great enthusiasm, lining up in the square in front of the library wearing raincoats and vests. The school divided them into six groups to finish the cleanup of about 53,992.9 square meters. 

This year is the 71st anniversary of the Patriotic Health Campaign, and April was the 35th Patriotic Health Month.
