Dear CTGU International Students:  

An essay contest on the topic of “Me and China” will be hosted by College of International Communications from March 5 to March 31. Here are the details of the contest:    

1. Background information and motivation

  Recently during the fight against COVID-19, all international students, together with the Chinese people, have gone through an unforgettable period and left a lifelong piece of memory. For some this is an unprecedented experience while for others it might ring a bell and recall their old memories. Therefore, we offer this unique opportunity to all international students to capture their feelings, highlight their stories, and retrieve the beauty of humanity which transcends the definition of nationality. The significance of the essay contest is two-folded as it is about you yourself as an individual and our era as a community.
