To deepen exchanges between Chinese and international students, strengthen understanding of college rules and regulations, and foster an open and inclusive campus culture, CQCMC organized a 2025 Friendship Activity for International and Chinese Students on the evening of December 31 in Conference Room 103 of the Administration Building. More than 50 faculty members and students from both China and abroad attended the event.
The first part, Song and Dance Talent Show, quickly got everyone fired up. On stage, students from Bangladesh kicked things off with a distinctive dance full of exotic flair; and this was followed by a rhythmic beatboxing performance, which produced youthful and energetic beats that electrified the entire venue.
The second part, Star Wishes, Messages for the Future, saw Chinese and international students teaching one another how to fold wish stars out of colored paper. Inside each star, participants wrote a heartfelt wish—some for academic success, others expressing hopes for the future. This activity was not merely a paper-folding exercise; it was also a way to convey hopes for the future and share goodwill with one another.
The third part was the Campus Rules Quiz which transformed the school’s key regulations and service guidelines into a series of fun questions, and it allowed students to deepen their understanding of campus norms and the Chinese educational environment through a lively quiz competition, while strengthening their awareness of rules and sense of belonging.
The final part was To You in a Foreign Land. During this activity, each participant wrote a message of goodwill to their new friends on a card. Filled with blessings in various languages and adorable simple drawings, these cards were exchanged at the end of the event, becoming a unique memento that connects everyone.
This activity provided a pleasant and friendly platform for interaction between Chinese and international students, allowing everyone to deepen their understanding and enhance communication through collaboration and recreation. At the same time, it further advanced the university’s mission to promote cultural exchange between China and other countries and cultivate talent with a global perspective.
