East Yunnan’s Qujing city is awakened by the spring breeze in late March.

Entering Qujing Normal University, visitors are impressed by the campus sight. The weeping willows of the crabapple trees are like smoke, and the cherry blossoms are like snow. The whole campus is transformed into a garden.

As the new semester begins, international students from Russia, Laos, Thailand and other countries start their encounter with China in the sea of flowers.
