Additionally, students wholeheartedly performed a cheerful and lively Belarusian folk song, whose familiar melody made the foreign teachers feel right at home. Each brilliant performance not only highlighted the students’talents but also eloquently expressed their deep respect and reluctance to bid farewell.
Following this, Zhou Yong, Party Secretary of the International Education College, delivered a farewell speech on behalf of the university.
