At the activity site, the students were enthusiastic, spreading red rice paper and splashing ink. Soon, various calligraphic styles such as running script, cursive, and seals appeared one by one.

The round and festive character fu appeared on the paper, expressing the students' wishes for good luck in the coming year.

It is not only the calligraphy works that add to the festive atmosphere of the campus, but also the beautiful paper-cuts hanging between the floors.
