During the welcome session, Anna Wang and 11 teachers at the CI introduced the basic information and reported on their work to Prof. GU Wei. In turn, Prof. GU Wei gave a brief self-introduction and put forward a series of suggestions for the improvement of everyone's report, hoping that everyone could take advantage of their respective strengths to elevate the CI’s academic performance to a higher level. In addition, with the Easter holiday approaching, Prof. GU Wei told all teachers to be careful when traveling and report their itineraries timely. Prof. GU also prepared Chinese traditional round silk fans for each teacher as a little gift, and everyone was thrilled about it.
