In the Innovation and Operation Centre, the staff explained the operation of autonomous driving and examples of technological innovation, and the students of related majors also discussed technical issues with the staff of the demonstration zone.In recent years, China's intelligent driving and other new technologies and industries have flourished, and international co-operation in related fields has continued to increase. The students of International College mainly come from the countries along the Belt and Road, after this visit, they deeply felt the potential and charm of China's technological development, which deepened their understanding of China's scientific and technological development, and strengthened their confidence in the future of AI and autonomous driving technology. As a vivid example of national context education and science dissemination, the visit adds impetus to China's high-tech and new industries to go abroad and promote international cooperation in science and technology.This activity is a new initiative to promote our international students' national context education in a more in-depth and practical way, which is conducive to showing the society of China in the new era and depicting a more comprehensive and real China.
The construction of the Great Wall began over two millennia ago during the 7th century BCE and continued for many centuries. It was built and rebuilt by different Chinese dynasties, with the most famous sections constructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 CE). The Great Wall is not a continuous wall but a collection of walls, fortifications, and watchtowers. Its total length is estimated to be around 13,000 miles (21,196 kilometers). The primary purpose of the Great Wall was defense. It served to protect China from incursions by various northern tribes and invaders, as well as to regulate trade and immigration along the Silk Road. The construction of the Great Wall involved a variety of materials, including stone, brick, wood, and earth. It features watchtowers, signal beacons, and fortresses along its length. There are different sections of the Great Wall, with some of the most popular ones being the Badaling and Mutianyu sections near Beijing. Each section offers a unique experience and level of restoration.

On Teacher's Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the invaluable contributions of educators, I would like to share a personal story that touched my heart. It is a story of resilience, camaraderie, and the profound impact a teacher can have on a student's life.During this particular Teacher's Day, fate took an unexpected turn for me. While working out at the gym, I suffered a dislocated shoulder and a torn cuff, which left me in excruciating pain and uncertainty. It was a moment of distress, far away from my homeland, Iran, in the heart of China, where I am pursuing my studies in atmospheric physics.As soon as I felt the need for guidance and assistance, my friends immediately contacted my professor, the esteemed Professor Zhang (Institute of Atmospheric Physics, CAS). What happened next was a display of true compassion and mentorship. Professor Zhang rushed to my side without hesitation, accompanied by his caring wife, resembling a father figure offering solace and support.Reflecting on this experience now, I am humbled by the immense kindness shown to me by Professor Zhang. On a day dedicated to celebrating teachers, I only had to offer a burden, a trouble that weighed heavily on my conscience. However, this ordeal taught me a profound lesson about the bonds of friendship and the importance of harmony, especially during life's most trying moments.Through Professor Zhang's kindness and goodwill, I did not feel like a stranger in a foreign land miles away from my homeland. He embodied the kindness and friendliness of the Chinese people, serving as a beacon of ethics and goodwill.In the tapestry of life, teachers like Professor Zhang weave threads of wisdom, compassion, and guidance. on Teacher's Day, I, Atefeh Gholami, express my deepest appreciation to Professor Zhang and all educators who mold minds and inspire hearts. Your selflessness and dedication light the way for students like me, and we are forever grateful for that.
