饺香暖除夕 同心迎马年

——留学生院领导教师走访慰问宿舍留学生

Dumpling Warmth on New Year’s Eve ,Welcoming the Year of the Horse

——International Students Institute Leaders and Teachers Visit International Students Staying in The Dormitory

岁序更替，华章日新。为让留校留学生感受中国传统节日的浓厚氛围与学校的温情关怀，2月16日上午9点，留学生院院长邵秀娟带领李云洁、于淼两位教师，专程前往留学生宿舍，亲切看望并慰问 140 名寒假留校留学生，为远离家乡的学子们送上新春的美好祝福与节日的暖心关怀。

As the old year gives way to the new, a new chapter unfolds. To help international students staying on campus experience the rich atmosphere of traditional Chinese festivals and the warm care of the university. At 9:00 a.m. on February 16, Ms Shao Xiujuan, Dean of the International Students Institute, led teachers Li Yunjie and Yu Miao to the International students dormitories. They cordially visited and extended greetings to 140 International students spending their winter vacation on campus, offering  New Year blessings and warm care to those far away from home.

慰问活动中，最受同学们期待的环节当属新春饺子宴。活动伊始，邵秀娟院长向留学生们送上了马年祝福，讲解饺子的文化内涵——象征着团圆美满、吉祥如意，是中国人除夕餐桌上不可或缺的美食。当一个个饱满的饺子下锅煮熟，热气腾腾地端上时，同学们迫不及待地品尝自己的劳动成果，纷纷竖起大拇指点赞。来自摩洛哥留学生希拉说道：“这是我第一次在中国过除夕，第一次吃饺子，虽然不能和家人团聚，但这里的老师和同学们就像亲人一样，让我感受到了家的温暖，这份记忆会永远珍藏。”

One of the most anticipated parts of the event was the New Year dumpling Feast. At the beginning of the activity, Dean Shao Xiujuan sent her best wishes for the Year of the Horse to the International students and explained the cultural meaning of dumplings — a symbol of reunion, happiness and good fortune, and an indispensable dish on Chinese New Year’s Eve tables. As plump dumplings were boiled and served steaming hot, students could not wait to taste the fruits of their own hands and gave thumbs-up one after another.

EL-HILALI MARWA, an International student from Morocco, said: “This is my first New Year’s Eve in China and my first time eating dumplings. Although I cannot reunite with my family, teachers and classmates here are just like relatives, making me feel the warmth of home. I will cherish this memory forever.”

走访教师们为每一位留校留学生赠送了精心准备的新春福字和新年礼物。福字笔墨饱满、寓意吉祥，是新春最具代表性的符号，承载着学校对学子们平安喜乐、学业有成、万事顺遂的美好祝愿。教师们将新年礼物送到同学们手中，帮助学生贴福字，与大家亲切合影留念。留学生们脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容，一位来自孟加拉的学生霍萨说道：“感谢学校和老师的关爱，这个福字让我感受到浓浓的中国年味！”

Teachers also presented carefully prepared New Year “Fu” characters and gifts to every International student staying on campus. The red Fu characters, full and auspicious, are the most iconic symbol of the Spring Festival, carrying the university’s wishes for students’ safety, happiness, academic success and all the best. Teachers handed out New Year gifts, helped students paste the Fu characters, and took group photos with everyone warmly. International students were all smiling with joy.

HOSSAIN, a student from Bangladesh, said: “Thank you for the care from the university and teachers. This Fu character makes me feel strong Chinese New Year atmosphere!”

新春伊始，万象更新。此次慰问活动，以春节为纽带，以温情为桥梁，展现了学校开放包容、人文关怀的育人风貌。不仅让留学生们亲身体验了中国传统年俗，品尝到了地道的中国美食，更在动手实践中加深了对中华优秀传统文化的理解与认同，搭建起各国留学生交流互动的平台。

A new year brings renewal and vitality. This condolence activity, bonded by the Spring Festival and connected by warmth, has shown the university’s open, inclusive and people-oriented educational spirit. It not only allowed International students to personally experience traditional Chinese New Year customs and taste authentic Chinese food, but also deepened their understanding and recognition of excellent traditional Chinese culture through hands-on practice, building a platform for exchanges and interactions among students from all over the world.

祝愿全体留学生新春快乐、身体健康、学业进步、阖家幸福！

We wish all international students a happy Chinese New Year, good health, academic progress and family happiness!
