The golden osmanthus fragrance makes the harvesting autumn an even better season. On October 8, the school opening ceremony for the ZJIET 2023 international students was successfully held.

Chen Dequan extended his warm welcome to the international freshmen who came from afar across mountains and oceans to study at ZJIET with an aim of bridging the cultures for exchange and mutual learning. In his first lesson of orientation given to the new international students, he put forward three ardent expectations: Firstly, he hopes them to have a global vision and become disseminators of the Chinese culture; Secondly, he hopes them to actively learn and understand China and become practitioners of cultural exchanges; Thirdly, he hopes them to have the initiative of solidarity and friendship, abiding by the school rules and discipline to become the guardians of peaceful development. He hopes that students treasure their time of studying in China to work hard and build up a solid foundation for cultural exchanges and mutual learning between China and their countries as a contribution to promoting the people-to-people exchanges between countries and to building a global community with common destiny. They may realize their own life values in the practice.

Let’s cherish the learning opportunity for unlimited possibilities in our careers, said Zhou Shi Huai, a 2023 international freshman from Vietnam, who spoke as a representative of freshmen. She also said that speaking fluent Chinese is greatly advantageous in applying for positions in the Chinese enterprises in Vietnam. She hopes that every new student cherish the opportunity like she does to study proactively and to achieve their dreams.

Daria a freshman representative from Russia, said in her speech that as a student studying abroad, she had experienced the necessary hesitation, but with the enthusiastic help of her teachers and classmates, she quickly adapted to her life on the ZJIET campus and fell in love with it. She loves Hangzhou, the vigorous digital capital, and looks forward to having a career in China after gaining a deep understanding of the Chinese culture and professional skills.
