Networking session with professors
In order to complement this lecture, the teachers and students also started the practice of "making dumplings" to promote traditional Chinese culture. After understanding the whole process, the students began to knead the dough, roll the skin, wrap the filling, hold the dough with their left hand, hold the chopsticks with their right hand, fold the edges in half, and close the mouth carefully. The students communicated with each other while wrapping, learned from other people's methods, refined their own "projects", and showed their talents. The dumplings made by the students are in various shapes, some are curved like the moon, some are round and full like a big ingot, and some are wrinkled and shriveled like a thin doll...... On the basis of learning to make dumplings, the students also completed "innovation", and rows of dumplings full of personality were born.
"Clear water flutters hibiscus, ingots fall on the jade plate. Gluttonous taste of the world, the most fresh thing. The students used their hand-wrapped dumplings as their afternoon meal, they were enjoying the delicious food, and they were tasting the sweetness of life after hard work.
