October 29, a Chinese Corner was held by NISA with the theme of

paper-cutting. International students and NISA members were very enthusiastic about

this activity even though the temperature was getting cold.

The Chinese Corner began with an ice-breaking game called In The

Same Boat(同舟共济), which

everyone enjoyed it very much!

Then the NISA members taught the international students how to

make beautiful paper-cuts, such as the complex Chinese character “囍”(luck or happy) and “壽”(longevity). After that, the international

students cut their own works with imagination.

In the end, the top 7 works were awarded with exquisite paper-cut

souvenirs.

Paper-cut, one of the most important folk cultures in Chinese

history. Therefore, this Chinese Corner not only helps to promote the

friendship between international students and Chinese students but also is conducive

to international students who learn more about the Chinese culture.
