On the evening of September 24th 2018, the Chinese students of BTCG Master class organized a party to welcome the new classmates from France and celebrate the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in the presence of the teacher Xia manman and Pr. Liu Jianmiao at College of Life Science & Technology.
At the beginning of this party, all the participants introduced themselves and then our Chinese students explained the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. We prepared different types of mooncakes for everyone and a huge one which means the union of whole family. It's quite impressive for having such a welcome party in a Chinese traditional festival, full of festive atmosphere balloons at elaborately decorated room, an extremely huge moon cake, interesting games, and funny jokes. Our all students come from non-English speaking countries. Celebrating together and playing games in English was a really good experience to deepen the exchange among students. This was also the occasion to gather all students and learn more about each other. After one week being in China, our Frenches students really appreciated this initiative. Everything is so novel and this was undoubtedly an unforgettable memory for everyone. This time, the party is hold for Chinese traditional festival, next time will be in Paris. We truly hope that the students take advantage of this opportunity and more students will join us in the future.
