On March 3rd, the Campus Support Department and the International Affairs Department jointly held a Lantern Festival experience activity featuring handmade glutinous rice balls and lanterns. The event aimed to promote excellent traditional Chinese culture, while also offering comfort and a sense of home to international students studying far away from their native countries.

The event was filled with warmth. Under the guidance of the instructors, students kneaded dough, wrapped fillings, and rolled them into round shapes, making sweet rice balls that symbolize reunion. This hand-made sweetness brought them a long-lost sense of togetherness and peace in a foreign land. Every sweet rice ball carries precious warmth and care.

In the subsequent lantern-making session, participants painted lively ponies, assembled the frames, and tied on red tassels. When lit, the soft glow of the lanterns reflected the heartfelt Chinese New Year wishes and aspirations of everyone present.These unique handcrafted lanterns not only added to the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival but also allowed international students to experience the distinctive charm of Chinese culture through the art of creation.
