Bao Xuedong had an amiable exchange with the international students, inquiring about their study and life arrangements during the winter vacation.

On behalf of the college, he extended festive greetings to the 11 international students and wished them new achievements in the coming year. Ye Hongguang conveyed the New Year's blessings from the International Student Management Office, while Zhang Jianfang provided a lecture on COVID - 19 prevention and control knowledge for the students during the winter vacation.
Subsequently, Bao Xuedong and his team presented the international students with a specially prepared "Ox - Turning - the - Tide" gift package from the college.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, 11 international students from Bangladesh and Laos will spend the Chinese Spring Festival at the college. This is the second Spring Festival that the international students have stayed in China due to the epidemic. To ensure that the international students on campus can experience the Spring Festival in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere and fully experience Chinese traditional culture, the college's Party committee has attached great importance to it and made meticulous arrangements. A series of winter vacation support work deployments and Spring Festival cultural experience activities have been carried out for the international students on campus.
To effectively ensure the living support of the international students on campus, the college has arranged for 24 - hour hot water supply and heating in the student apartments. The apartment administrators check on the students' conditions in their dormitories on a regular basis every day. The sports venues are open to encourage students to exercise more. The college has also organized online psychological assistance and conducted psychological adjustment activities for international students with psychological service needs to ensure their physical and mental health. At the same time, it is required that counselors maintain constant contact with the students on campus and keep track of their psychological trends. Epidemic prevention and control are always a priority. During the winter vacation, the affiliated hospital has assigned special personnel to promote epidemic prevention knowledge among students. The college clinic arranges special personnel to take students' temperatures twice a day, in the morning and evening. From February 6 to February 18, the Academic Exchange Center of the college has been assigned to prepare Spring Festival meals for the students on campus. The meal preparation will communicate in advance with the students on campus, fully respecting their beliefs, food preferences, and combining with traditional Chinese Spring Festival customs.
In addition, the college has also invited local media to visit the campus and focus on the international students on campus. While allowing students to experience the Chinese New Year atmosphere, the media can help society better understand and pay attention to the group of international students on campus, allowing the warmth and care to seep into the hearts of the international students on campus bit by bit.
