Lyrics of major school songs: Jianghan thinks about Yugong, and the enlightenment dates back to Wen Weng. Universities are wide open and people are rumbling. Handsome in the world, obstacles lead to the east. Study humanities and revitalize science and engineering. Kai Zi is rich in abundance, and every day is a male. Revitalize the nation and swear to be a striker.
