We missed the enthusiasm of the festival, the sparkle and excitement of our students. Students relieved a lot of stress and stored their energy before the finals. Many of the graduates also attended the festival. Such events are very valuable for young people to develop socially and make new friends. After the spring festival, which we call the 'Colorful Fest' this year, we will continue to meet with students and alumni with different programs in the upcoming periods.”
