[XINHUANET] Staying at School during the Holiday Still Feels Like Home
2023-10-13
"Boiled fish, boiled prawns, steamed crab, wow! And it's all free." "I heard there's also an evening party?" Huang Shaofeng, a first-year graduate student, and his classmates arrived at the student cafeteria at lunchtime and witnessed this heartwarming scene at the HUTB Cuiya Dining Hall. Although he's from Changde, many students, including Huang, who are busy with their studies, chose to stay on campus and celebrate the festival in Changsha.
Not long ago, in order to allow students staying on campus to savor the "taste of home" and celebrate both the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, HUTB held the "Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day-Happy Holiday" event. The event not only provided students with free meals but also included an evening party where students could taste homemade regional mooncakes, enjoy festive gift packages, sing songs, and showcase their talents. Students and teachers from all over the country gathered to celebrate in a festive atmosphere, rekindling their sense of national pride and the feeling of "small family reunion and the dream of national rejuvenation."
"Since the school enrolls students from all over the country, many students' homes are quite far from Changsha, and going home is not very convenient," said He Huili, the person in charge of the second floor of the Cuiya Dining Hall. With the care of Chief Leader and the support of the logistics and catering party branch, the cafeteria holds celebration events for students staying on campus during traditional holidays every year.
Li, a student from Tianjin, participated in the "Map Puzzle" activity at the evening party. After tasting the homemade regional mooncakes, he happily expressed that when he saw the homemade mooncake with "津" (representing Tianjin), it immediately reminded him of his home. Bright moon shines upon the hometown, reflecting the feelings for our country and nation. Under the full moon, even though these students couldn't be reunited with their families, they still felt like they were at home on campus through this warm and loving event.
In recent years, with a focus on nurturing contemporary university students with a global perspective and a sense of national pride, HUTB has consistently provided students with a safe, comfortable, and convenient learning environment. Through various cultural activities, academic lectures, and social practices, the university enriches campus life and creates a favorable humanistic environment for students.
It is understood that the "Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day-Happy Holiday" event also distributed over a thousand meal coupons worth 10.1 yuan each. Students can enjoy high-quality and affordable meals during the holidays. Hunan Normal University also organized a similar event. Love and warmth have been transmitted from HUTB to the university city.
