Cao Shumin and Xu Huibin had a cordial talk with the freshmen who participated in the planting activity and learnt about their study, life and after-school activities in detail. They were concerned about whether they have adapted to the life in Beihang over the past year, and encouraged the students to cherish the youth and strive to become the pillar of the country.
Student representatives
The Chinese nation has all along loved trees, planted trees and protected trees. Following this tradition and guided by the conviction that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, Beihang has been fully implementing President Xi’s Thought on Ecological Civilization and making solid progress in building green campuses. Since June 2018, Beihang University has built and rebuilt green belt of about 12,000 square meters, planted and transplanted 1,063 trees and 789 flowering shrubs, aiming to beautify the environment and make teachers and students live comfortably on campus.
