Colleges and universities have opened one after another, welcoming a large number of new students. In order to adapt freshmen to campus life, major universities have held opening ceremonies for freshmen, attracting many people's attention.
However, Xiamen University brought a different opening ceremony to the freshmen of grade 202 1. Due to the change of epidemic situation in Fujian, Xiamen University temporarily decided to hold the opening ceremony on the website of Xiamen University.
The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic
According to the report, as of September 14 1 1, Xiamen had reported 35 confirmed cases, including 22 common cases, 3 mild cases 1 case and asymptomatic infection cases1case. Xiamen decided to start the whole city's nucleic acid detection, and today (September 14), some areas have started.
At present, universities, primary and secondary schools and secondary vocational schools in Xiamen have changed from offline teaching to online teaching, kindergartens have been closed, and citizens have to leave Xiamen.
Replace freshmen with mineral water.
Although the first freshmen can't attend the opening ceremony on the spot, Xiamen University is very considerate. In order to make all freshmen feel the sense of entrance ceremony, Xiamen University replaced freshmen with mineral water at the opening ceremony, and put thousands of bottles of mineral water in the winding venue instead of freshmen to witness their youth.
Xiamen University has done this, and the majority of Xiamen University freshmen have praised it. Many freshmen say: the mineral water bottle is here, which means I am here. It can be seen that students are very satisfied with the school's practices and express their understanding and support for the school's practices.

Zhang Rong, President of Xiamen University, gave a speech entitled "Building a Dream for the New Century and Striving for a New Journey".
