In October 30-31, our school's Perceiving Jiangsu cultural exchange and activities (Nantong Station) for international students came to a successful conclusion. A group of 49 students, including representatives of outstanding international students, relevant officials of the College of International Education and counselors, went to Nantong, the first city in modern China, to experience the culture of the river and the sea and the development of Jiangsu.
