Countless students lined up to enter the auditorium through the main entrance, while teachers, professors, and media personnel entered through the side door.
Fifteen minutes later, the celebration started. Jiang Cheng was arranged to sit next to Major General Xiang Dong, in the front row.
At this moment, the host took the stage, lights converging, and said with a microphone: "Welcome professors, students, and everyone attending Huaqing University's celebration. Leaders and guests, good afternoon.
Some media reporters and cameramen had already set up their equipment and were busily filming.
The first program after the opening performance was a poetry recital, reciting a short poem.
"When I was young, nostalgia was a tiny stamp. I was on this end, mother was on that end.
"As I grew up, nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket. I was on this end, the bride was on that end."
It was Yu Guangzhong's poem 'Nostalgia'.
