At 10:00 in the morning, our principals and student representative delivered the welcome speeches. Then as the Spring Festival is coming, the students took a language and literature class, which inquired the topic, "New Year", discussing the culture and history, connecting couplets, and making lanterns. They explored together, communicated, and got to know each other better. Then, Chinese and Korean students walked into the restaurant together to make dumplings and experienced the Chinese New Year atmosphere.
