[New Year Chronicle] "Nian Taste" for international students in China: I learned to write "Fu"
[Concurrent] Tang Xingxing, a foreign student
Today is very happy. I learned how to write "Fu" and paper-cutting.
[Explanation] "Everything goes smoothly, and everything goes well." This is the new spring couplets of Tang Xingxing, a student from Mozambique in China.
The Spring Festival is approaching. After studying in China for three years, she not only learned how to write Spring Festival couplets, but also how to cut paper.

The Chinese New Year is a particularly good holiday, just like our New Year's Day (the same).
It's a great time to be with everyone.
[Explanation] On the afternoon of February 1, a special Spring Festival event with the theme of "Celebrating the New Year and Enjoying the New Year" was held at the School of International Education and Exchange of Taiyuan University of Technology, Shanxi.
More than 20 student representatives from Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Nigeria and other countries gathered here to celebrate the Spring Festival, write Spring Festival couplets, and learn paper-cutting with teachers, and taste the Chinese New Year together.
[Explanation] This is the first time Wen Xin, an international student from Nigeria, has written Spring Festival couplets and paper-cuts. After studying in China for four years, she not only makes dumplings, but also exchanges New Year red envelopes with friends.

I usually feel busy studying, but only during the Spring Festival I feel that everyone is happy.
My tutors, teachers, and some friends will give out red envelopes, and our friends will send out red envelopes to each other.
Every custom in China has its own connotation, so I think this is very special.
[Explanation] There are currently 230 international students in the School of International Education and Exchange of Taiyuan University of Technology. The school's logistics department, apartments, and canteens have taken relevant measures to ensure the basic study and life of international students.
At the same time, it provides venues for activities and learning, and organizes a series of sports and cultural activities to enrich the holiday life of international students.

I hope that I will get better and better, wish my parents good health, and wish all my teachers and mentors all the best.

I really want the epidemic to pass soon, and then I can walk around and see China more.
