This activity was warmly welcomed,and the atmosphere was quite lively. As no snacks were permitted, the game site was well protected. listening the beautiful music, enjoying the warm sunshine, together with some friends, playing cards or chess in a wonderful place, how great a method for us to release our stress!

This activity, providing an opportunity to show talents, enriching the campus life, strengthening friendships, carrying forward traditional culture, could not be such wonderful without support from all the leaders and teachers.
