With the “Two Sessions” kicking off on March 5, the new semester started. From March 4 to 6, students of Tianjin University (TJU) returned to school in batches.

TJU has set up a special group, led by Ms. Lei Ming, Deputy Secretary of the University Party Committee, to ensure the safe and orderly return of TJU students.

Specifically, TJU has developed a work manual and contingency plan with scientific and thorough deployment so that they can adapt to the changes of situations on epidemic prevention and control.

TJU faculty members, medical staff of Tianjin University Hospital and volunteers welcomed return students at Tianjin Railway Station, Tianjin West Railway Station, Tianjin South Railway Station and the Binhai International Airports. TJU has arranged pick-up buses and special areas including reception, detection, observation, emergency response and boarding specially for return students. TJU faculty and staff built the first line of safety for all the students on campus, together with an overall checking process, including the health code and travel code checks, luggage disinfecting, temperature testing, as well as code scanning at the gates of the two campuses.

Devoted staff and volunteers waited around the clock at the stations and airports for the return students, with bright signs and protective supplies such as customized masks with TJU logos and disinfectant gels. The shuttle buses entered the campus from the designated gates and stopped at the drop-off points close to each dormitory of students.

All over the campus, from dormitories to canteens, from supermarkets to teaching buildings, they were all welcoming return students.

As the old saying goes, “A whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring.” The new semester will bloom with the spring flowers amid the successful completion of the Two Sessions. In 2022, let’s move towards the future together!
