And Party Secretary of SIS Li Hanmei also expressed her wish that the students would inherit and uphold the spirit of Wu Si Movement, integrating personal development and achievement with the goal of the Party and the central government, and thus contributing to the revival and prosperity of the country.
For years, the Festival has become an important platform for the School of International Studies to promote the development of the “second class” program and educate more and more international talents.
